The inital target of Thunder's wrath, unfortunate soul that he was, dies from a savage face and neck wound. What he doesn't do is fall down dead, as do his friends unlucky enough to be caught in the wave of essence. They just probably have different injuries that killed them.<br/><br/>The Lintha are unable to effecively harm Thunder, who they probably assume is the necromancer in control of the dead. This is probably not the best idea, as the mass of dead, both skeletal and meaty, swarm upon the deck, overcoming a few Lintha by sheer weight of numbers.<br/><br/>It's quite horrifically effective, as the slain Lintha then rise to slaughter their once comrads.
