-----Sarah looks at the guards with annoyance on her face. "I'm not wasting my magic on the undead. Time to show us that you're worth having along." Sarah flicks some more darts at the undead thing fighting Sol.
-----While he attacks the undead creature Sol barks out in an admonishing tone, "Sarah!" He can't really say more at the moment. Busy, apparently.
-----Raven draws his two swords and waits for the undead to enter the globe. Raven says to the guards, "Steady now. Don't let them take you out of the globe."
-----Sarah quickly launches three more darts, two of which miss. The third finds its place buried in the dead thing’s forehead. It looks up at the small missile sticking out of its head with its good eye and snarls.
-----Just as it begins to claw wildly at Sol, the young warrior thrusts in with his short sword but the creature deviously sidesteps it.
-----Suddenly it is almost in Sol’s face, scratching at his armored chest and snapping its teeth at him. Luckily, it does not come in contact with him.
-----To one side of Sarah, Rinda readies her club as the second undead thing comes toward her and Raven. Before the Huntress can move, Raven strikes out with both of his blades. The weapons sheer into the creature’s chest and neck literally ripping it apart. With its flailing arm floundering, its body falls and lies still finally devoid of its undead curse.
-----On the other side, the third menace swipes at Bradley missing him. Just as the young guard readies to strike back, the creature scratches him across his arm. Oddly, the scratch seems insignificant but within moments a horrific event occurs.
-----Suddenly, Bradley moans and his body stiffens. He then falls face down on the decayed blackened ground. Shema then heaves her blade and with a great thrust runs the creature through. However, with the blade sticking out its back, the creature is able to reach its head down. With a quick chomp of its jaws, it nips the woman warrior on her shoulder.
-----Shockingly, she immediately stiffens with her eyes bulging and staring out. As she falls, the undead thing begins to drag Bradley out beyond the magical protection!
-----"Sarah, follow th' bastard. It's not going t'take any o' us." Sol calls urgently, his brow furrowed in concentration as he continues his dance with the abomination. He prepares to start manoeuvring off to the side, side-stepping to follow in the direction the creature is dragging Bradley as well as fight off his own opponent. "Romney, grab Shema. Haul her if ye have to...Raven can ye take th' one on Bradley?" Sol asks quickly.
-----Sarah can only gasp in horror as the two guards are paralyzed in a matter of seconds. Seeing the wisdom in Sol’s words she moves closer to Bradley, making sure Rinda and the others are moving with her to stay in the circle. Meanwhile, she keeps chucking darts.
-----Raven nods and then moves in to attack the monster dragging Bradley. Raven's moves like he is going to attack a different foe, then at the last minute Raven does a spin move and tries to drive both swords into the monster.
-----The creature tugs fiercely at the guard now pulling his leg beyond the protective dome. It viciously licks its thin dead lips with its long tongue.
-----Raven crosses his arms slicing his blades alongside each side of the undead monster’s neck. With one quick easy motion, Raven throws each arm out effectively decapitating the thing. Sheathing both blades, he pulls the paralyzed guard so he is entirely inside the dome.
-----Sol’s opponent comes close to raking the young warrior across his face. The thing opens its mouth and Sol almost retches with the unholy smell. With a strong thrust, Sol pushes his short sword through the thing’s chest. A strong snap is heard as the weapon pushes through rotted bone and guts. The thing falls backward outside the dome and collapses on the fouled ground never to rise again.
-----Romney has Shema flung over his shoulder by this time. Outside the magic circle, the other undead just stand around unable to attack those within. In the distance, the unholy violet light shines out.
-----"Let me see them!" Sarah pleads, unable to move to them because she controls the circle and unnecessary movements could have very bad side effects. Sarah examines Bradley’s leg where it was torn into the dark circle closely to see if there is any sign of supernatural harm.
-----After a few moments Sarah stands up and proclaims that there is no more time to waste, giving everyone a few seconds to pick up lost weapons and all. She begins the walk again towards the purple light.
-----Raven grabs the other guard that was paralyzed and throws him over his shoulder. Raven mutters to the guard, "Hope you got a thick skull, cause I'm dropping you at the first sign of trouble. Nothing personal, just wanted you to know." Raven draws one of his swords with his free arm and then follows Sarah.
