Vace shivered a bit as a group of undead lumbered towards him, but he stood his ground and brought his sword down, cleaving one from shoulder to hip, then he brought his balde back slicing two in half. He could already see the destroyed ones pulling themselves back together as he continued to fight new ones, and he said, "Stopping these zombies any time now would be appreciated!"

Thomas rushed in to help Vace. He landed on top of one zombie, and thrusted the knife into the top of it's head. He pulled his dagger out, and flipped over to the next one. After killing off three zombies that way, he landed on the ground by the last zombie threatening Vace. He gave a side kick to it's chest, and it fell over. He stomped on it's gut, and sliced deep into it's face. He flipped his dagger around in his hand, and he smiled.

"I would kiss this thing, if it hadn't just been hilt-deep into a dead person."

Vace raised an eyebrow and said, "I would be worried if you still would have considered kissing it. Regardless, they just keep coming no matter how many get killed, we need to stop them somehow."

As Argriv waited for Kal to reply, he noticed several of the... things <necro... necrec... whatever> heading towards them from behind. He turned around and started hacking at them. They weren't strong, but kept growing back. <this is getting me nowhere>. Kicking the remains of the previously dispatched as far away as he could, he turned his head slightly back in Kal's dirrection. "A little help?"

Thomas looked around. The zombies kept regenerating, but no more were actually coming.

"Hmm. It looks like when I killed that Exmoore guy, it stopped the zombies from rising. Except for the ones that had already been moving around. And I can't kill ALL of them."

OOC: If Exmoore is the reason for the zombies, do you think SS is going to like how you quickly dispatched of him?

(OOC: He sent me up there, and told me to kill him. So, I did. Five bucks says that the Exmoore character isn't the big thing about this area. SOMEBODY had to change that cook guy, and I have a feeling that the person responsible for it is inside somewhere.)

OOC: Yes, but the zombies would not have stopped then, would they?

OOC: Exmoore would probably have been the local commander of sorts, and a possible means for the Necrontyr to rise. Killing him might have stopped the zombies... at least until the BBEG shows up.

OOC: Raiden, I don't care who your guy's father was. You're an EX-NINJA. You're really going far too ninja on us, and you're disregarding any character difficulties. (I'm not mad, but I'm noticing that you've been flipping around and vanishing like a ninja) I assumed that by ex-ninja you ment being able to sneak around and fight and stuff. Just not fight as good as you are now. Also, I wanted to to NOT kill Exmoore in one post....oh well. Now i'm flying and tryin' to make this work...

IC: The corpse of Exmoore floated and snapped straight up, limbs splayed wide. It clutched a frying pan with one of its bony fingers. "Keep it away he said..."

Kal was looking at Thomas. "I told you to kill him. Not piss him off. You do realize that he's just recalling magic from all of the undead, right? Thus he rises from the grave."

Kal flipped a zombie's face up then stuck his sword through its throat before pulling away. "This is why I wanted Kishan to go, mostly because Kishan wasn't trained as a ninja and wasn't ordered to kill one hit."

Kal ducked a swing, propped his staff against the zombie's gut and blew it clean off of the staff.

"In fact, I'm starting to think that we've run into a teensy wittle problem here. Exmoore is a Water Caste. Stuff like this should be impossible for him. Also, if he was actually dead all the zombies should've bit it instantly..."

Kal fired off a quick search around and swore. "I now know why he's getting back up. He has the Harlequin..."

Kal's sword flared with lighting and he cut a zombie in two. It flew away while turning into ashes. "Right...Hey, Zorha? Do you have any purifying oils with you?"

The hilt on Thomas' dagger was started to get uncomfortably hot....
