In reply to Zuriel Silendril (msg # 498):
The P.A.R.T.Y., ordered Maeve, Boreas, Zuriel, Lyriel, Keef from north to south, strikes off toward the north, marching for a few minutes before the stifling tunnel grows into a slightly larger chamber. The earthen walls closing in on either side expand slightly, but it's still a tight fit.
Though the darkness continues to reign supreme over your senses, once the P.A.R.T.Y. has fully entered the chamber, the rustling rattle of bone and the scraping of something sharp against the rough stone floors or walls is unmistakable.
Without further warning, the supernatural darkness fades, replaced by the everyday darkness the your lit torch knows how to handle. The shadows peel back to reveal an unnatural collection of the shambling dead: bloated corpses and brittle bones, animated into a grotesque semblance of life.
For those among the P.A.R.T.Y. who have encountered such things before, it is clear that you're facing an assortment of zombies and skeletons. None of them are armed, but they seem dangerous nonetheless.
~~ Disposition ~~
The P.A.R.T.Y. is standing in an empty 5x3 room. Well, empty save for the grasping hands of the ravenous undead. The P.A.R.T.Y. is lined up in walking order, and the undead began around the perimeter of the room. They spring to life in tandem with the fading shadows, leaving you to scramble to defend yourselves. They are adjacent to you on either side. The only open hexes are immediately in front of Maeve, and immediately behind Keef.

Enemies
Keef
Boreas
Maeve
Zuriel
Lyriel
The undead attack in tandem with the fading darkness, lashing out at each of you from either side simultaneously. Each of you is flanked by a skeleton and a zombie, which attacks simultaneously.
[Attacks on Maeve: 24, 12]
[Attacks on Boreas: 15, 21]
[Attacks on Zuriel: 22, 21]
[Attacks of Lyriel: 14, 14]
[Attacks of Keef: 26, 14]
Maeve, Zuriel, and Keef are each struck once by a skeleton, the boney fingers digging into whatever flesh they can find and burning with an unnatural cold.
[Damage (Maeve): 11]
[Damage (Zuriel): 12]
[Damage (Keef): 12]
Boreas and Zuriel are struck once each by the flailing zombies, as well.
[Damage (Boreas): 6]
[Damage (Zuriel): 7]
Surprised, angry, and a little hurt, the P.A.R.T.Y. readies their weapons for the perfect retort.
