Something's Rotten...

[Hex]

"I'm Hex, well, I told you that, but then I was nearly flarbually flarbed by that dead hand bone thing..."

He turned to the other girl and smiled at her with the same kindness as he did Ivy, for she also tried to help him out.

"What's your name?"

He looked over Ivy's shoulder as they continued down with the dead about, and he gaged to himself a bit. He really didn't like dead people... They should be properly buried, and when they aren't bad things like this happen. The dark energy the undead emits just chokes Hex.

"Oh no... more darkness... Anyone got a torch on hand and some flint and steel?"

Just as he asked, Ivy jumped down.

"Oh lord... What if she get's attacked?! We have to follow her!"

Hex quickly followed suit and jumped into the hole, trying not to scream.

[Serafyna]

"Se- serafyna" she offered a brief smile to Hex. "M- m- miss Ivy!" Serafynas eyes widened as Ivy dropped into the hole. "O- oh dear..." she hesitated and closed her eyes, dropping into the hole after Hex

[Neko]

::The party found themselves in what appeared to be the sewers that ran beneath Wistvale. The soft natural glow of the mold on the walls was enough to give them some small light to see by.

The path seemed to be the same ahead and behind, and it appeared it would be tough to determine from where the zombies had come, when a pack of five of them rounded the corner ahead, goaning and hungry for flesh...::

[Ivy]

Ivy immediently grabbed her bow and some arrows, holding some in her mouth gently as she nocked one, aimed for a head and let it fly. She nocked another arrow right after and did the same as the first one, aiming for a different dead head

[Hex]

"Oh jeez, not more bonies..."

Hex felt a jolt of fear go through him as the undead rounded the corner. He quickly got over it, though, preparing for battle. He closed his eyes for only a moment before he used some sewage water to form a small jet that he used to try and bash one skeleton's skull into the wall. He was using minimal amounts of magic, not enough to cause him to fatigue significantly, but just enough to deal a killing blow. Since the skeletons' skulls were made of bone, the amount of magic he needed to use wasn't going to be significant.. yet. Of course, battling wave after wave was going to get him into trouble, so he tried his best to really conserve as much magic as possible.

[Serafyna]

Serafyna's eyes widened and she hid behind Ivy, unsure of what to do. She wasn't eager to use her magic as she was still a little dizzy.

[Neko]

::Two zombies fell to Ivy's arrows while a jet of water burst up, splashing sewer water everywhere and dashing a third's skull against the brick and stone wall.

The last two show no signs of fear or loss for their fellows as they step over the bodies to continue to advance on the group.::

[Ivy]

Ivy smiled at the advancing zombies, taking one of the arrows from her mouth she nocked it, aimed, and let the arrow fly towards another one of the dead heads. She knew Sera was behind her, and was determined to do whatever she could to keep the older girl safe. She took the last arrow from her mouth, nocked it and as she let it go, she hoped Hex would notice, and not use his magic unless she missed, which in her mind was unlikely.

[Serafyna]

Serafynas eyes flicked to the dead zombies
and for a moment she appeared dazed,
distracted even. But she quickly shook her
head and buried her face in against Ivy's
back, refusing to look and focusing on staying
in control. Instead she listened, listened carefully to the sounds around her as she shut
off her senses of smell and sight.

[Hex]

Hex was happy to see his spell effectively dismantle the skull and shatter it.

"Sweet! Water Power!"

His celebration was short lived as there were still two zombies left. He looked towards Ivy and saw her arrows: two can be shot for every spell he casts. There were two more skeletons... So as long as he didn't use magic, she could fire the killing blows.

"Hey Ivy, I am going to preserve my magic as much as I can..."

But she was on top of things. She fired two arrows, but if any missed, he was ready to strike with the water again. He was prepared to use magic, but didn't yet just incase she hit. He stood ready for battle, smiling, waiting for a sign on what action to take.

[Neko]

::The first arrow found its mark and the zombie fell. However, when Sera clung to Ivy's back, it threw off her second shot and the arrow ened up buried in the foul creatures shoulder instead.

The zombie continued forward and was now closer enough to swipe at the blonde girl with its hands, mouth gaping hungrily::

[Hex]

"I got you Ivy!"

Hex quickly swiped his hand across the area in front of him and caused a quick blade of air to form before the girls as it shot out towards the zombies head. Not the strongest spell he had up his sleeve, but his magic one way of protecting them from the skeletons. Hopefully he killed it, but if not, he gave Ivy enough time to notch another arrow to fire at the skeleton.

"Ready an arrow!"

[Ivy]

Ivy shot a grateful smile at Hex before reaching behond her quickly for another arrow. She would save her own magic for when there was no other choice. She quickly nocked the arrow, aimed for the head and shot, praying it would hit. "Thanks Hex" She said after the arrow left the bow. She looked behind her at Sera. "Are you ok?" She wasnt mad that Sera had messed up her aim, honestly, she just just glad the older girl was ok.

[Serafyna]

Serfynas eyes were wide and she forced her gaze to stay on Ivy with a meek nod. "I- I- Im s- sorry m- miss I- I- Ivy!"

[Neko]

::The blade of air cuts the head from the body and the corpse drops to the ground, Ivy's shot unneeded.

The zombies lay dead around them the path ahead now clear as to which direction to go should the party wish to continue::
