As they start to run Tyger stays one step behind Mael, unlike all the others he is not overly exerting himself. He actually has to keep his pace slowed to just over a jog for him. Once the strange skeletal creatures start to rise from the ground around them he ignores those reaching for him as their boney hands cannot seem to get a grip on his shadow armor and just slide harmless away. He instead closes the distance to Mael. When the first one reaches for her, his katana flashes from its scabbard removing the skulls of two in a single stroke. He seems to dance around her as they approach the guard shack. His blade is just a blur of quick flashes in the fading light creating a barrier about the young woman that leaves bones flying from any of the undead attempting to get near her.<br/><br/>When there is a pause in the attacks Tyger withdraws a brightly glowing stone from a hidden pouch. Up close the light is almost as brilliant as the sun. The undead creatures react by cringing back from the light giving the two close to a ten foot wide path through them. Now with a clear path and Sarah and Andrew fighting their way through, Tyger and Mael quickly close the distance bringing the others into the protection of light as well. Picking up the scents of a small number of guards within the shack Tyger calls out, “We are friends, open up so we may escape these undead!”
