-----A dark blue shimmering quickly comes into being around the ceiling encompassing the entire room. In the next instant, the dark shimmering rains down on everyone. Kazel, Seth, the Dread Pirate and the others feel intense pain as if great stones within the descending spellfire are hitting them.
-----In the next moment, the damaging spell is gone leaving everyone feeling the effects of the onslaught but still able to fight. Kazel and Seth appear to be badly hurt while the Dread Pirate appears injured about his head and upper torso. Runik and Brandel look as if they have been wounded on the exposed skin of their face and hands while Krord and Marast seem to be hurt badly.
-----Seth immediately punches out with his fist aiming his ring at the woman thing and shouts, "Sabba Sa!" imagining her being forced through the very wall particles of the tower. Somewhere in his consciousness is a thought, 'Oh I hope no one gets in the way.'
-----The Dread Pirate, hearing Seth yell his infamous cry and knowing what will happen next, ducks as low as he can and scuttles forward, hoping that the crushing force will pass overhead. He tries to estimate where the zombie will end up and flies forward towards that wall, utilizing his boots to their maximum speed.
-----Kazel gets out of the way when she hears Seth's yell, then jumps back in to slash at it after it passes.
-----The familiar quiet engulfs the room followed by the rushed blast from Seth’s ring. The transparent image of the ram’s head carries itself across the room and slams home into the small robed form. The crushing blow carries the undead thing back into the far wall where the impact makes a solid sickening thud against the stones there.
-----The Dread Pirate, moving fast but not fast enough to intercept its flight into the wall, charges the woman thing as it fights to regain its footing. He swings mightily in his excitement but even though his sword makes contact it appears to have no effect on the wretch.
-----Kazel is suddenly at his side slicing in with her sword. The butcher’s weapon rips down the front of the eyeless thing’s chest seeming to force it back against the wall again. A black ichor begins flowing down the torn parts of its garments.
-----Krord and Runik run up behind Kazel and Gimplefwick trying to find an opening to take their own swings.
-----The white-faced robed one looks up into Kazel’s face and although it seems not as strong as before it looks to steady itself again.
-----Seeing his sword connect, but not bite, the Dread Pirate lowers it and races behind the undead creature. From this vantage, he kicks out with all his might at the back of the creature's knees, hoping to topple it and make it easier for the others to hit. However, his boot fails to make the undead creature buckle.
-----Seth seems at a loss about what to do next. He quickly turns to Runik and Brandel. "Quick, you two pin her arms and hands down - That way she cannot cast spells!"
-----He looks around for the mercenary that had the bag. "Someone shove something in her mouth or cut her tongue out or smash her jaw in!" he yells. Still grasping the pork fat, he sidles closer, not game to cast any spells or sling any bullets for fear of harming his associates."
-----Runik moves to the left side where he tries to hit the undead mage with his warhammer. He curses a dwarven oath when his swing fails to do damage.
-----"Everyone pull her down and keep her down!" Kazel yells to Krord and Marast as well. She drops her sword and tries to grab the dead wizard by the hair and put a headlock around her neck before the thing can stand up again.
-----Kazel succeeds, taking down the wizard by the neck, with her entire weight lying on the headlock and grabbing her jaw to stop her from casting more spells. She positions her torso away from the wizard so the others can attack the wizard as well.
-----Krord swings down with massive fists missing in his fury and almost knocking over Runik.
-----Kazel still hangs on while the undead being tries to claw at her with its fingernails, although it seems to do so weakly. It then momentarily freezes in its struggles and pauses as if in a state of concentration.
-----Kazel grimaces at being so close face to face with the hideous thing. Seeing the wizard stop, she tightens her squeeze on the stranglehold and smashes its head once into the floor to break its concentration. She will then use a free hand to take out her dagger to stab at its dark evil sockets.
-----Cursing eloquently, the Dread Pirate's frustration mounts as he again fails to do any damage to the undead creature. Seeing that Kazel's sword did bite, but that she dropped it in favor of wrestling the creature down, the Dread Pirate drops his cutlass and scoops up Kazel's sword.
-----Trying to avoid Kazel's body, Gimplefwick proceeds to hack at the zombie's lower torso and legs, apparently intent upon rendering the lower portions of its body to kindling. As he wildly hacks away, he yells, "To hell with subduing this thing, hold it still while I cut its bleedin head off! I wonder why yer sword works and mine doesn't? Maybe enchanted weapons don't work on it? Or maybe that old ogre's toothpick wasn't enchanted enough."
