**FLAVOUR -** *It was sickening to hear the crunch of decayed bone as his sword destroyed the undead's head. Evident was the sheer destructive power of dark magic, displayed right before their eyes. Still, there was a sullen uplift that returned to Sylvar's resolve upon recognition that these beasts were able to be taken down; just through desperate methods. That slight rejoice was immediately dampened by the sudden closing in of plentiful undead; each more terrifying than the last, and one heading in a straight path for him. His hand shook as they neared, his breathing more shallower now. From further away, the elf could just about handle the undead, but up close.. He wasn't so sure.*

**ATTACK -** *As if by instinct, his fingertips lit up in the colour of gold and sparks began to crackle between fingers. He raised them, Shigeru's failed strike at the corner of his view, and electricity charged in a straight bolt within his palms. In a flurry of panic, he turned swiftly and sent the conjured lightning arrow straight towards the* ***Horned undead's head****, hoping that it would do __something___, and proceeded to draw a rondel dagger in each palm afterward.*

**FLAVOUR -** *Assuming the attack was successful, Sylvar would turn back towards Shigeru, keeping an eye and ear out for any zombies that came close.* ***" This is not the time to panic at all, Shigeru! "*** *He snapped amidst the panic and the fear that overtook them.* ***" Would you care to die a coward? Think! Aim for the head, clear vulnerable points, not their chests. Let go of fear, or we will __die__. "*** *He wasn't so sure if this was aimed at himself or his ally.*

***Sylvar uses Divine Charge (15 mana) against the oncoming Oni.***

*Kibaru's fist would pummel the Oriate zombie's corpse, and begin to crack its rotten, decaying skull, little more than feeble grunts coming from the ghoul's mouth. However, Kibaru taking the time to destroy the Oriate completely took his attention off of the nearby zombies... The nearest zombie grabs tightly onto his back, biting firmly into his shoulder and trying to pull back, tearing at his skin in the process. It's horrifically painful, especially now that the zombie's infected, filthy spittle begins leaking into Kibaru's open bite wound. Kibaru is able to pinpoint the laughter: it's distant, but it seems to come from the northeast.*

*Sylvar's electrocution attack doesn't hurt the Oni in any way, unfortunately. Instead, the Oni is dazed for a moment as the bolt blurs its vision and distorts its hearing even worse than it already is. It still manages to hit Sylvar, its incredibly strong arms slamming into his chest and breaking a rib or two, but it does pause after that, as its mind struggles to adapt to its newfound lack of senses.*

*Shigeru takes Sylvar's advice in mind, and swings at the Oni Zombie's neck with his wakizashi. It's not exactly the cleanest or best calculated of swings, and doesn't even take the zombie's head clean off, but it knocks the Oni Zombie back a little and causes it to be even more bewildered, enough that it gives Sylvar a bit more breathing space. It does also... Drench Shigeru and Sylvar in rotten blood as it spurts from the undead's jugular, which is less than pleasant both to look at and to smell.*

*The Oriate ranger, clearly unnerved and disgusted by the blood soaking into his gambeson, looks toward his Dark Elf mercenary and back at the Oni, ashamed of his poor prowess, mostly spurred on by a lack of sleep or even rest.*

*The remaining zombies continue their onslaught, trudging towards the closest person to them. Now, each fighter has two zombies gunning for their flesh.*

*Kibaru would pummel in the Oriate's skull and would quickly whisper* "Return to thou ancestors"

*Suddenly He was caught of guard and biten, out of pain and already rage, would last back at the zombie like an animal. Claws and Gangs drawn, not even thinking before he would bare his fangs for the neck as his claws would dig into the shoulder to hold his prey down so he could bit and rip out is neck. Kibaru would probaly regret it with a foul taste in his mouth and stuck to his nose, but count think about that.*

*All though animalistic from the pain, he would still keep the other Zombie in mind, ready to counter attack if it got closer*

**FLAVOUR -** *If there was any way this situation could have gone any better... It didn't, much to Sylvar's chagrin. The failed strike and incompetent cut to the oni's neck only seemed to grind salt into the wound, and the now blood drenched elf was seconds away from having a extensive, well desired fit. Pain seared through his chest where the oni undead had struck, sending him stumbling backwards unto the boulder.* ***" Thank you, but.. You.. You said you've bested these beasts before. "*** *He managed to snarl through gritted teeth, narrowing his eyes struggling to breathe through the stench of rotting blood and flesh, and that damned broken rib.*

***" Liar. "***

*Oh heaven's above did he wish to be any place but here.*

**ATTACK -** *There was a silver lining to every dark cloud, however. And it managed to present itself right before Sylvar's eyes. Their combined attacks had dazed the wretched thing, allowing him to make the attack that he was so certain Shigeru wouldn't make. Cursing every demon, devil and oni undead out there, he lunged, drips of blood and mangled flesh flying into his hair as he moved, and swung his right hand, slamming the rondel blade into the undead's skull, expecting his speed and strength combined to take out the zombie for good.*

*In the same smooth motion, he retreated, stammering a prayer to Kanas, feeling the cold sensation of the spell wash over his body, creating a golden, fluid barrier as some sort of second skin. Since the undead favoured blunt attacks, this would serve well to deflect most of them. Hopefully.*

***Sylvar attacks the dazed oni one last time, and then use Kanas' Protection (aka Aural Fortification) for 21 mana***
***3 mana gained***
