((Anime: I wasn't trying to say that her hold on the other undead wouldn't be weaker than her control on the maids and kraken.  While I didn't put it up here (because I wasn't sure that little tidbit about the undead origins would help in combat) I succeeded that knowledge check too.  My point was that the counterspell itself wouldn't be the cause for weakening control because it wouldn't apply to whatever spell Dura had cast on them.  I don't mind whatever thematic elements Ambrose wants to include, but I was worried that he/she thought the counterspell was ruining more than her control on the kraken.<br/><br/>Dang it; frustrating undead are frustrating :/))<br/><br/>The kitsune would blink in surprise when, immediately after she increases the lamia's natural protection, Linda vanishes backwards into some sort of dimensional portal.  Synys has no trouble identifying the spell cast, and can hear her now speaking from a short distance behind her, but she hadn't been expecting that.  For a very brief moment she suddenly finds herself with nothing between her and group of undead and her worry shifted to herself.  They didn't bother with her though; luckily for her Dura's command had been incredibly specific and it might be just slightly difficult to change her command now.  The vixen has to admit that this is never something she had ever expected to see though; hungry undead.  Sure she'd heard of devourers before, but that was something quite different.  Even before she can act any further before both of the weaker undead maids are destroyed, leaving the now...re-dead? bodies behind.  At the same time the zombie soldiers rush past her towards their target, leaving Synys behind.  She doesn't hesitate to move as the kraken starts moving out towards them, though, wanting to put as much distance as possible between herself and that thing.  But...she's in a much better condition than the Lamia is in.  If only her healing magic could apply to more than dusk.  Instead of her original plan she starts a small spell, moves up next to the zombie Linda and her own undead had been focusing on, and puts her hand to its back.<br/>[Touch attack: 1d20+7  23<br/>Damage: 5d4  12 acid]<br/>As she contacts the zombie with Corrosive Touch acid generates and easily begins eating away at it.<br/><br/>Dusk is satisfied that she was able to bring down one of the zombies so easily, but does realize that she went for one of the weaker two.  At least that reduced the number of creatures they had to worry about.  Like the others, she begins to back off ass the much larger undead works its way further into the room.  They needed to take these things down fast.  Either that or run if the kraken proved to be too much for them.  Dusk chooses another of the smaller undead as her target and slashes at it with her claws.<br/>[2 claws: d20+11  15  12 Oh my x.x<br/>I guess they both missed, but I'll leave any further description up to you in case you want to do anything with my critical failure]<br/><br/>Synys: 51/51 hp, 14 AC]]<br/>Dusk: 69/73 hp, 20 AC]]
