"Yes, we should stick together. Safety in numbers. I wish I'd had that luxury whilst I was still alive"

Lilly follows Zora, examinmg headstones, wondering what their corpse's stories were.

At the mention of hunger, the pale one feels a familiar twinge in her stomach. She looks about the other occupants and an unmoving unfortunates to see if she can sense the presence of life in them and to possibly find items and better accoutrements than she has found herself in possession of for her latest debut.

With no one taking the bait to argue with her, Madalene loses interest and decides to search some of the properly dead bodies. She hides the few belongings she noticed she was buried with knowing that she will come back at least to the bottle of wine later.

Getting used to moving with this new tattered shell of a body she now inhabits, she tentatively places one foot in front of the other. After a few steps, she can walk almost regally and she approaches the nearest horizontal body that doesn't appear to be moving. Awkwardly kneeling down beside it, her bones popping with disuse, she starts to rummage through its clothing or belongings if it has any.

Seeing Magdalena searching a corpse, Jötna peers over her shoulder. "anyfing to eat?"
OOC:
Going to try something new; type the talkie bits with an accent.

Zora and Lilly head out together to have a walk past tombstones, checking out tombstone texts...

"Here lays May B. Walken. Beneath this stone my wife doth lie. Now she’s at rest and so am I."

"Here lays Al B. Backe
Born on the 5th day of the second moon of the year 807.
Died on the 3th day of the sixth moon of the year 853.
Burried on the 30th day of the fifth moon of the year 853."

"Here lays Vilna Nox. Good riddance, witch."

"Here lays Pearl E. Gates. Immortally Challenged"



Katalin gives as look at the others, as well as at the shambling corpses laying around.
Although all are most certainly dead, many of them still have some flesh attached to their bones. Quite a few of them seem quite bloodied. One particular fat old man, shambles around, dripping around blood where ever he walks.

As Katalin as well as Zora realize, some of these shamblers are walking around with certain items. None of them seems to really care about other shamblers. But taking away their possessions, might upset them.

Magdalena rummages through a body that has not been shambling yet, Jötna checking over her shoulder.

This man seems to be burried in military uniform. In his belt is a short sword, rusty. But it would work.
He also has with him, about 10' of rope... tied in a noose... around his neck.
OOC:
The short sword is D4 damage if you take it.

Althea can still take this time to do something.

Something about the third gravestone, "Here lays Vilna Nox. Good riddance, witch," catches Zora's attention. If she was to fight back in her weakened state, she would need powerful magicks. Magicks that may have been left behind. She drops to her knees and frantically begins digging at the soil with her bare hands. She looks up at Lilly almost pleadingly, "Please, help!"
OOC:
If this were a video game, you bet your butt I'd check every highlighted grave. But not in a game like this. Gonna just do the one.

Magdalene looks back over her shoulder at the annoying hungry and drooling undead thing.

"Do you think you could drool somewhere else? I'm not hungry. Besides, I have to watch my figure. Oh, wait a minute. Try this." Magdalene notices the rope wound around the neck of the grotesque body. She teases it away from her skin and small chunks of the rotten flesh come away from the body and stick to the noose.

"Here, gnaw on this why don't you? Looks like some choice bits of skin are stuck to it." Handing the woman the rope she takes the rusty sword for herself. It may come in handy for her later or even now.

Katalin's foot brushes against something on the ground. She takes a stiff step back and sees a sharp wooden stake. "Well now. That is rude." She picks it up and ties it off in the coils of her ropes around her waist. "I cannot go leaving that lying around. It could give someone heartburn."

Eyeing the bloodied fat man and sizing up his head against the gravemarkers surrounding her, she spots one that looks to be perfect; not too heavy and wide enough to put a kibosh on the huge shambling corpse's locomotion...and hopefully its pitiful existence.

... "Please, help!"

"Yes, of course", Lilly drops to her knees and begins clawing at the soil, occassionally looking at Zora with a concerned expression.

Jötna eagerly grabs the bloody noose from Magdalena and starts nibbling the bits of flesh. She is simultaneously famished and repulsed by the experience.

Katalin picks up the wooden stake... for her it might feel a bit funny. Dangerous even...
The fat man walks zombie-like through the graveyard...
OOC:
Not too sure yet what you are planning... but looking forward to see it
Zora and Lilly are digging in the grave of the accused witch. Sitting on their knees, scooping away sand as slowly dirt seems to move by itself. Trembling a little. And suddenly a zombified hand shoots up...

... it claws at Lilly, trying to grab her by the throat.
OOC:
Lilly, you can make an agility DR12 to avoid it.
May 21, 2022 11:15 am
Horrified by the hand grasping for her, Lilly attempts to throw herself backwards

Taking tombstone in hand, Katalin blindsides the fat man, bringing the grave marker down over his head and breaking it in half.

Just as about Magdalene and Jötna have split their loot, Katalin's gravestone crushes against the fat man's skull. Slamming his head right off. It launches of his shoulders and rolls a bit further onto the ground, right in front of Althea's feet, as his fat body drops down, falling on to the floor in a puddle of blood and blubbery skin.

Meanwhile, the zombie-like hand grasps Lilly by the throat, crushing her, in front of Zora's eyes.
OOC:

Boom! One shot due to crit.

Lilly, you can try to break free at Strenght DR12 or take damage at the zombie hand crushes you neck.
Anyone else can do the same to help free her.

Katalin crouches beside the headless corpse of he fat man and dips two fingers in his blood. She brings it up to her mouth and tastes it, only then noticing two of her fellow dead girls have attracted the ire of another whose grave they were attempting to rob.

Lilly is unable to evade the zombie hand which now holds her neck in a vice-like, crushing grip. Desperately, she claws at the hand in an attempt to prevent her neck being crushed

Strength check - DR12 - (1d20)

"Alright, that's quite enough of that!"

Magdalene wasn't about to let some zombie choke the undead life out of the woman whose neck its hand was wrapped tightly around. She moves surprisingly quickly toward the grave and attempts to shove her newly acquired rusty knife into its boney hand hoping to break its bones.

Rolls

Strength -2 - (1d20-2)

(17) - 2 = 15

Jötna, quite used to leaving people to fight their own battles, finds herself automatically slinking into a deeper shadow among shadows. She watches carefully until the danger settles.
