Emerald quickly casts a push spell to get the zombie away from the bell. It causes the corpse to keel over backwards.
Emerald doesn’t stick around long enough to see what he does when he gets up. The colt sprints down the stairs, only stopping with something when he collides with something near the entrance to the church.
Emerald looks up to see the shriveled face of the creature that was in the tomb below.
“What the- Hey, wait! Stop!” The creature cries as Emerald bolts past him.
In his terror, Emerald runs toward the outpost. As he does the soil around him seems to burst up as hooves claw their way to the surface as creatures of half-skeleton, half-decayed flesh appear.
Emerald quickly climbs up the ladder to the outpost and attempts to unhinge the ladder from it’s holdings, but he isn’t strong enough. So instead he hides himself the best he can while still staring out over the edge of the building.
The undead seem to be confused, and a few of them form groups and begin to talk, but after a few seconds a mighty roar comes from the tower in the center of the town, and a creature unlike anything Emerald has seen yet bounds out towards the undead.
it’s entirely bone, and wearing what looks to be a leather cape of some kind. It has the skull of a pony, but that’s where the similarities end. The skull has horns, and the body seems to be that of some giant clawed creature with a stinging tail.
One of the corpses approaches the creatures and says,
“Lady Elegance, what is going on?”
“I was hoping you could tell me that.” The creature says, in a surprisingly womanly voice.
The undead from the steeple comes running out of the church and says,
“M’lady! I saw an intruder!”
The monster named Lady Elegance snarls and says, “Search the town, and a few of you fan out into the forest, he couldn’t have gone far. Capture him if you can.”
