"Fly around, see where we are, see the way to Galgenbeck."

Althea still stands by her own grave, trying desperately to remember anything about what were apparently her final moments. The commotion with the grave robbing draws her attention away from lamentation and she rushes over to try and help Lilly. With Magdalene already on the scene, Althea merely stands and watches helplessly. It occurs to he that the crow on her shoulder has been staring at her patiently as though awaiting instructions, so Althea locks eyes with the dead bird and speaks to it softly and slowly.
"Fly around, see where we are, see the way to Galgenbeck."

Zora leta out a little shriek as the hand erupts from the grave, falling backwards and scrambling away. Her involuntary reaction only lasts a minute before she grabs ahold of the femur she had found and begins smacking the fingers with it.

Lilly draws lose from the hand, that reaches out of the grave and Magdalene pulls her away. The hand grasps in the air for a moment, trying to find it's prey... no where to be found... as Zora's femur connects to the fingers. There is a shattering sound of breaking bones.
As Lilly, Magdalne, Zora and Jötna (from a safe distance) see the hand retreat in the grave, and as Katalin feeds on cholesterol rich blood, the zombie like crow caws at Althea and takes off. Flying high above the graveyard, and circling around. Large circles, until it sets of straight to the south, before returning to Althea.
All seems just calm for a moment... no more screaming at the graves... the zombie crow cawing in the air, Katalin drinking from a corpse...
... until the ground of Vilna Nox's grave bursts open. She screams angrily, levitating a feet above the ground. She looks with dark, hollow eyes, from which blood flow at the girls around her grave. Ready to lunge at them. On her head, a charcoal crown.
All, feel free to do something in first post, first act order.
For ease of posting, she is DR13 to hit.

When Zora had been thrown into a grave, it seems a scroll had been thrown in with her. The magicks contained we're not benevolent, but rather malevolent. Dark, unclean powers. In her heart of hearts, she knew it was not the type of magic she had practiced... but that was before she had been murdered.
Drawing the scroll before her, Zora chants in the tongue in which it was written, one accusatory hand pointing at the undead horror flying around the graveyard. She feels the power building as she speaks, and finally the arcane energies reach out to the flying witch, intending to strangle her... though Zora was unsure if it would have any effect.

Lilly swings the back pack she was buried with off her shoulder and dashes into the tombstones and graves towards the right. As she crouches for cover she struggles to arm herself with the knife in the backpack - the very one that had taken her life. Steadily, Lilly attempts to get behind the apparition with the intent of striking, unseen, from the rear

Magdalene rushes back to her grave and grabs the crowbar, flinging it at the horrific creature. As she hurls it, another seam in her filthy dress rips, leaving her with no sleeve. The old Magdalene would have been horrified. The dead Magdalene decides that if this is the group that is her future, how she looks doesn't matter a jot.
"Aim be true!" She had heard some such nonsense being called out by an archer once upon a time. She has a very vague recollection of it as if that person belonged to her or maybe fought for her.

When the witch appears, Althea begins to cry. This is all just too much for the young woman and in an instant her fear turns to rage. Blood streams from her eyes which she wipes and flings at the witch in a blind fury.

Used to sneaking and hiding to eavesdrop or avoid unwanted attention, Jötna stays in the deepest shadows in awe of the power displayed by the rest. She feels as ill-equipped in death as she did in life.

Blood dripping from the corners of her lips, Katalin stands. She hefts the half tombstone in both hands and flings it at the floating witch-corpse.

Each of the girls take their go at the witch, as she gets out of her grave. Her white burial wade, covered in mud and dirt.
Zora's curse grabs her by the throat. And while the lack of oxygen doesn't truely seem to bother her much, the crushing effect of the spell seems to do so.
Lilly sneaks up, getting in a better position to strike the witch from behind, and only barely manages to duck away from a crowbar that flies by. Vilna perfectly dodges the crowbar as well, only to dive head first into a fragment of tombstone that got flung her way.
The witch surely is getting a serious beating. Blood dripping down her... although not all that blood is her own. Some of it is Althea's blood, infused with the properties of the oils and ointments that mixed with her blood. It splattered on the witch....
Lilly:
Feel free to roll agility at default DR 12. On your next round to see if you successfully sneaked up. If so, any attack will be easier then at +2
Magdalene:
In Mork Borg range attacks are (for some reason) with presence instead of agility, with that roll it hardly matters though
Vilna:
Total damage taken: 3+2+4 = 9, she seems in bad shape

... and instantly the witch seems to sink to the ground, like the corpse she is.
Her dead body still seems to be moving slightly. But it would take an expert eye to see that she is not truely dead. For she sure looks dead (again).

Zora feels the connection of her spell maintained. Is this power what her old magic had felt like? That burning in her veins? She waits from where she stands, willing the crushing to continue. Willing the corpse to be destroyed.

"Well don't I feel dumb." Magdalene utters in disgust after she almost took out two of her allies with her inferior crowbar throwing technique.
Allies? Is that what they were?
"Did we kill her? Did we put an end to the witch?"

Katalin grabs the stake she has looped into her rope and stands ready to use it on the witch should it not succumb to the immediate efforts of the others.

As Zora's spell strangles the witch further, her body starts moving again.
Her body broken and injured. Her movements slow...
But she is still determined, probably just enraged enough to fight on. She stands up, looking for a victim near her.
And lashing out at Katalin, who stands ready with her stake. Dead hands reach quickly for her...

"I wish you were too!" Magdalene barks at Jotna, "Because we need to put down this evil witch before she kills us ... again."
If she has time to go back to her grave and grab the rusty sword she found she will also attack the witch.
