*Mevis wouldn't be able to detect anything using his thermal vision, but Ashnard would detect the rotting of corpses. It was all around them as they entered and the gates closed shut. The last signs of light allowed them to see that there was a massive sort of balcony surrounding them, as they entered the first arena, seemingly stripped of mats.*

*If one person entered the center of the arena, they would find that it would glow brightly with a blue light, and would illuminate the massive room around them. On the balcony, there are suddenly a massive amount of mindless zombies of various race, all wearing white robes, though most of them seem to be on the leaner side.*

*Several wights would be seen as well, seemingly far more intelligent and cold than their mindless counterparts. One pole vaults from the balcony using a flexible spear, another rushes in using a single handed Jian, and yet another can be found spinning a rope dart, and another would be unarmed.*

*However, the wights seem to bow before the incoming battle.*

*Alloces looked around, before eyeing the rope dart wight in front of him with a cold and detached gaze. His summons formed up on his flanks protectively as a brief shroud of blue light enveloped him. He didn't possess much magic, but what magic he did possess was efficient in regards to himself.*
"Don't try and charge out on your own. We're outnumbered in this scenario, and getting separated would enable the undead to drag you down from weight of numbers alone.."
*Alloces said to the others, even as he positioned his swords in a fighting stance, ready to slash across at the first undead to come within reach. His left sword arm, holding Eins, would be held across his chest and over his face, protecting his throat and covering most of his features but his eyes. The sword would be edge out, cutting edge pointing at the enemies. His right arm would be across his stomach, horizontal and cutting edge pointed outwards for a horizontal slash.*

Oh how he *Yearned* For somewhere to let out all his frustration after this tedious road and constant smell of rotting corpses burning his nostrils. As soon as the doors closed behind them and he caught the stench of undeath in the dark, Ashnard knew he was finally going to have his due. His feet planted firmly upon the cold stone, he snarled with a bloodthirsty grin as his twisted blades glistened over the arcane lights. 

***"COME ON, YE UGLY BASTARDS. LET'S DANCE."*** The grim beastkin barked out, grinding his arm blades together like butcher's knives. The shrilling din of serrated steel against one another echoed into the room like nails on a chalkboard, only for the beast's weapons to be enveloped in midnight-onyx flames immediately after. At the same time, a blackened haze begun to spiral under his knees taking a martial fighting stance. His body faced sideways to his right, with left arm and foot on the front, blade held vertically. The right arm blade was held horizontally, pointing right at the jian wight along with his piercing gaze. The scorpion-like tail curled upwards with the stinger over his shoulder, preparing to cover any flanking attacks.

Any undead that might have had a mind left to remember of martial arts would recognize that stance as a form of Bajiquan. The canifor's entire body was one lethal weapon, braced to eviscerate any undead foolish enough to approach him. Though if none of them actually did within the next few seconds, *He* Would be the one to strike first, caution be damned. He'd strike with a horizontal flaming sweep coming from his right arm, aiming at the jian wight's head. His left blade and tail would cover either of his flanks, in case more undead tried to impede his assault.

*Mevis would take a readied stance and nod in agreement with Alloces. Running out on your own would simply leave you open to the horde. Seeing there were now actual threats in sight, Mevis would now reinforce his skin and channel his inner chi to boost his quickness to prepare himself for the incoming fight. He didn't trust himself to make the first move, so he would instead play the role of flanking support. Jackal seemed the most ready to fight, so Mevis would ready an Air Palm to fire at any undead that might attempt to flank him*<

*Ardon really wanted to just go in there and attack but it was clear that Alloces disliked the idea and he wasn't about to upset his comrades due to a silly mistake he took a few steps forward and waited until one of the undead neared him and if they ever did he would use two of his hands to grab hold of the monster before just wailing on it with his two fits all the while using his two extra arms to block attacks. Just innately as the enemies revealed themselves his body began to take on a silvery shine due to him casting Scaled Skin adding another layer of defense onto the titan's body. He was so ready for this!!!*

*The rope dart wight only needs to move forward slightly in order to launch his dart at Alloces, albeit with a large wind up time.*

*The Jian wight blocks the incoming strike using the blade, but the serrated blades catch the sword, pulling it with it, leaving the Jian wielder quite open. He tries to pull the blade back and strike with a stab at the canifor's face.*

*The spear wight closes in on Mevis, taking a jab at his face.*

*Ardon is easily able to close in on a zombie and kill it, but the unarmed wight is able to close in extremely quickly. He bends down low and begins to deliver an onslaught of punches at Ardon's knee, seemingly that of Wing Chun. If left unattended, it could possibly dislocated it, though the Titan wouldn't exactly be bothered.*

*The other zombies would close in.*
Doris
Catching the wight's Jian was exactly the opening Ashnard needed. Forcing the wight to pull back its blade for a counterattack, the jackal would move his head and body to the right in order to avoid the incoming stab. Meanwhile, his left arm would aim a jab through the wight's temple, with his prehensile tail still guarding his flank.

If the wight was somehow fast enough to block that left-side attack as well, Ashnard would use his tail blade to stab it right through the heart. If not, he would use his tail to decapitate the unarmed wight on his left that was attacking Ardon, assuming the titan wasn't able to defend from it himself. Lastly, his right hand blade braced to eviscerate any undead coming from that flank.

*Alloces eyed the rope dart user, quickly lunging sideways behind Summon 2, before pivoting and slashing, utilizing that momentum to step forward and use his downward diagonal slash from right to left(Left sword hand) against the zombie next to Summon 2, making sure to put as many bodies between himself and the rope dart wight as possible. 
The wight would need to try a very risky shot through multiple moving bodies in combat, one of them being a dedicated protector with a shield, have the undead clear away somehow, or get in close. His horizontal slash from left to right(Right sword hand) would be directed towards the other zombie, the one next to Mevis. However, he would have his summons keep an eye on the rope dart wight, ready to alert him with their cheat telepathy when it did fire, if it did fire. 
Summon 1 would sort of sidestep to the left before advancing forward at the zombie in green, keeping a careful eye on the rope dart wight as it put the other zombie to the right of green zombie between it and the wight. It would slash at the zombie in green, from left to right, slash starting up and going down diagonally, shield angled to protect it from the rope dart wight. 
Summon 2 simply dug itself in, widening it's stance and keeping the shield between it and the rope dart wight, protecting Alloces. However, it did keep an eye on the other zombies, ready to engage them as soon as they got within easy reach. Alloces would also free cast flaming strike on his left sword hand, causing that blade to erupt into flames as he struck, also to interfere somewhat with the vision of rope dart, since a fiery beatstick wouldn't make aiming at the head behind it any easier.*

*Mevis didn't like this one bit, not one bit at all... Assuming his reflexes were quick enough, he would attempt to side step the jab to his face try to close the distance between him and the spear wielding wight. Spears have the advantage with their reach after all. Assuming he got in close enough, he would attempt a fake jab at the wight's face before following it with a punch towards its chest*

*Ardon's head would cock and look over to the left towards the unarmed wight punching his knees. His eyebrow raised slightly as he didn't really feel a thing. He lowered his body down even lower than it was earlier keeping his ribs hidden away from anyone that might want to break it before doing the same as he did with the other wight but instead of using his two middle arms to defend he instead used it to grab the arms while the other arms attempted to just grab the whole body itself before wailing on its face once more. His whole technique seemed to be, defend, disable, dehead? Yeah Dehead!*

*Ashnard's technique allows him to stab into the wight's head as well as take the other zombie's head off, and the wight bursts into flames and ash.*

*Summon 1 would be able to successfully kill one of the zombies, but would soon find itself facing several more. A leftmost one strikes it in the back of the knee, forcing him to kneel. The sword also cuts slightly into the leg of another zombie.*

*Summon 2 is also able to stab and take out another zombie. However, the rope dart wielder is able to swiftly pull back his weapon. Instead of using like a dart, he swings it at Summon 2's leg's entangling them and pulling him onto his side.*

*Mevis wouldn't be quite close enough to the spear for the fake jab to work, but the punch downward does cause it to react, stepping backwards. Afterwards, as aiming for the head didn't work, it raises the spear up and tries to bring the blade of the spear onto the Macen's head.*

*Ardon wouldn't be quite fast enough to grab the wight's arms as it pulls them away, but the Titan is able to land a punch, which is blocked using the wight's two arms. The sheer force from it though sends it flying into two other zombies, which are knocked down. It gets back up, and goes into a standing up Wing Chun stance, only to realize that its left arm is hanging loose, broken.*
Nancy
*Well then, it looked like he was stuck in a dilemma as Mevis notices the spear slash coming down vertically toward his head. He would raise his arms in the shape of a cross block to halt the spear, grateful for his airy aura of protection. He would only hope that he was strong enough to withstand the blow*

*Alloces saw the predicament of his comrade, and lunged forward at the spear user as he was thrusting, pulling one blade down for an vertical slash upwards, directly as the spear user was chopping down. With his buffed Gen Speed, he should be able to cut it off or at the very least mitigate a lot of the force. This would be his right hand sword, the one not on fire. His left hand sword swung around in a diagonal slash at the spear user, starting high and ending low, from left to right in Alloces perspective. Summon 2 would swiftly drag their legs up, pulling the string taut before using their arming sword to cut themselves out of the entanglement, which would simultaneously ruin the rope dart being used due to the rope being chopped up. Summon 1 could see which way the wind was blowing, and quickly stood back up to retreat back towards the center of the blue light, still facing the enemy, and yanking out his arming sword to deliver a slash at the zombie that bit it on the leg.*

With no more undead on his trail, Ashnard set sights on any remaining wights left standing as well as his own companions' capabilities. For being surrounded by zombies, the situation seemed under control, surprisingly enough, though he was well aware letting his guard down for a single moment would likely seal everyone's fate. 

His next target would be the rope dart wight who had left itself seemingly exposed to entangle one of Alloces' guard summons. A blazing scarlet aura spiralled around the beastkin's feet as he charged after the wight at a sudden burst of speed, unsated black flames raging around his blades. If the dark elf's summons weren't able to finish the job with any lesser zombies on his path, Ashnard's tail would with quick slashes towards their decayed necks, and upon reaching within 2m of his main target, the jackal would lunge with a quick stab at the wight's heart, using the right blade. His left blade remained raised vertically, preparing to perry any potential counterattacks, should there have been any.
