Staring at the bones as they pool, Suzu gets more and more freaked out, though she doesn't know why consciously. Then it hits her. She studied a lot of religion because her best friend was heavily religious and she wanted to connect with her on that level too. Suzu never got too into religions as a whole, but she remembers a lot of the research she did. She doesn't remember which religion promotes this, but those bones aren't safe. They're going to keep on raising up until they're either doused in Holy Water or have positive energy channeled into it. How much, she doesn't know, she didn't look into specifics since she's not capable of either on a normal basis. She kinda wishes she did though so she can advise Rhialla better. "Rhialla, you wouldn't happen to have any Holy Water would you? Or the energy to spare channeling positive energy into those bones? Because that thing's gonna recover and come after us again if we don't have either of those." She says nervously. The idea of an undying monster out to get you is a little unsettling to her.

[TCELESBHSUP]

Rhialla gave a slow nod, walking over to the bones. Since when had Suzu become such an expert? Ah well, she trusted her- she knew so very many things that she didn't, things that she never expected her dear friend to. "I... Don't have any holy water... I forgot to pack any, unfortunately... But..." Dropping to one knee, she would let out a slow sigh. Her hand rested on the bones, and her eyes shut as she channeled her faith in order to cast Cure Light Wounds- positive energy was the bane of any undead. Hopefully, it would be more than enough to put the bones down for good. "... My channeling cannot harm the undead. I am devoted to healing, Suzu. But even healing can harm, if used in such a way that it disrupts the negative energy of the undead."

Kal listened to the voice as it trailed away deeper into the mansion then took a deep breath, before going through every swear word she knew in every language she spoke, she looked at the Officer, "I'm going to check out the inn over their, because I don't like how that child sounded at the end, I think it might be best if I rest up and restore my abilities before I start looking for this doll. I have other friends here with me, well I say friends we literally only just met recently so we might not be to the point of friends maybe more acquaintances but it might be worth seeing what they have found, and seeing if they need to rest as well." Kal then proceeded to head back up north to the inn, to see if she could locate where the others were.

[Lynxy]

Monika had to admit, that kid just made the creepiest sound she'd ever heard. Everything that had happened since she woke up was starting to pile up into something wholly unnerving, but she couldn't very well be breaking into the Broklan house because his daughter said something creepy. Something had to explain all of this. She turned and followed Kal toward the inn, intent on asking Derser, the owner, what was going on. "Come on, Ms. Ironthunderson was it? I'll get you and your friends a better rate if you explain why you're here more fully and promise not to interfere with the towns head family anymore. I'll even buy you a round." Tight lips tended to loosen when drink was involved, and if she was to be believed this dwarf knew something about what was happening.

Garian continued leaning against the wall right outside of the building, hoping that they could have found something while he stood watch, sword out in hand. He knew that sooner or later he'll have to light up a torch once the light spell worn off.

[Taria]

"Well it really just depends on the situation." Janeei muses as she begins to wander outside. Rhialla channel positive energy into the bones and the blood curdles before finally fading away into nothingness. Everyone else has yet to explore anywhere yet so there's little else to report.

[Motoko]

Kasidra would nod, sticking close to Janeei, wanting to stay with her until she left...She had never felt an attachment like this. She had never really loved anyone outside of her sister. It was strange but she didn't dislike it..." Mm....Then I would wish for it..." she blushes at this glancing around the dark town her glowing eyes taking it in thoughtfully ..>She was honestly to embarrassed to look at janeei after she said this, though she made sure not to leave her side!

[MiscChaos]

Suzu breathes a sigh of relief as the remnants of the creature fade to nothing, the possibility of it getting up and attacking again now completely gone. "OK, we're done here. Let's move on, shall we?" Suzu says, leaving the bloody mess and going back outside. She originally planned to investigate the house she skipped in order to see if there's any further clues, but she's distracted by seeing Kal and a new cat lady outside. First the new girl, then the investigation. Moving over to the duo (trio if you count Cel), Suzu says, "Hello! Are you a resident of the town? I'm Suzu! Nice to meet you. Oh, and Kal, did you find anything?"

[TCELESBHSUP]

Rhialla followed directly after Suzu, still looking a bit sick and stressed. That clinic, or whatever it was, had done a number on her psyche. So much blood, all spread around... For what reason? Necromancy was a horrible art indeed. The Aasimar decidedly stuck behind her friend, though she performed a curtsey towards the crossbow-woman that had grouped up with Kal for whatever reason. Her wings seemed to spread a bit as she did, her halo remaining fairly bright to those that could see it in the darkness. Which was everyone, really, with the light sources nearby.

[That_One_Guy]

Garian saw the two leave and followed them out, "Find out anything?" He asked them before he looked up and Saw Kal and smiled, "Hey Kal, you find anyth-" He stopped and saw the Cat person and smiled at her, "Well hello there, can you tell us what happened?" He asked, walking towards them all, smiling, "So, did you find anything else, Kal?" He asked again, looking back at her.

[Lynxy]

Monika looks up to Kal's approaching friend. "She found the Magister's home." She said simply, not wanting to rehash the incident out here. "You may call me Officer K'sharr, and I'd much appreciate it if you dwarves stop prowling the streets at night and get a room until morning. Or, at least have a meal and a few drinks at the inn until sunrise. Frankly, I'm not sure of the time at the moment, but I'll happily get you all rooms for the rest of this night on the house if you buy breakfast." It was a deal she'd seen Derser offer a dozen times, so she knew it wouldn't be a problem. "We don't impose a curfew here, but you guys can only look suspect roaming town at night." She returned the curtsey of the obvious aasmer, put at least a bit at ease about the group's intentions by the participation of a half-celestial.

[MiscChaos]

Suzu's eyebrow raises in confusion at the words of the woman, an officer apparently. "Um... while it's nice to meet you, Officer K'sharr, Kal's the only dwarf around. Me and the guy are human and my friend is Aasimar." She says, clearing up the confusion a bit. Then she gets into the rest of what the constable said. "Unfortunately, I don't think we'd be getting much sleep. The house we just left was apparently used for some sort of Necromancy ceremony and is an absolute bloody mess. At the very least, the skeleton that attacked us has been dealt with, but I don't wanna sleep unless I know there aren't any more of them running around."

[Taria]

"Look over there, something is in the dirt." Janeei calls out. It is barely audible to the rest of the group, they can hear that there is some sort of commotion and the direction it is coming from, but not precisely what is said.

[TCELESBHSUP]

Hearing the calling, Rhialla immediately rushed to the scene! Scimitar in one hand, shield in the other, she uttered a prayer to Sarenrae hurriedly as she ran to the scene. She figured that Janeei and Kasidra may have been in trouble! That wouldn't do in the slightest!

[Motoko]

Kasidra looked in the direction her mistress had pointed heading that direction " As a matter of fact mistress I do wish that I could summon you at anytime.' she would nod before returning her attention to the dirt curious as to what it could be. Being able to summon Janeei at anytime would be great for her....not only because of her sudden attachment...The genie was also a powerful ally...

[MiscChaos]

Knowing what is crawling around here, Suzu says, "Sorry, be right back! Can't ignore yelling when there's freaky bloody skeletons running around." to the officer and Kal before running off after Rhialla. Her friend is rather fragile emotionally right now and it was Janeei yelling. Meaning Rhialla will have to face either that woman, who's the main reason for said fragile state, or Janeei, who has a pendant for walking all over the Aasimar. Neither of them are good right now, so Suzu needs to be there if only for that reason.

[Taria]

Janeei slowly approaches the place she sees on the ground and aims her bow carefully towards it in preparation. A zombie suddenly claws its way out form beneath the ground right at Suzu's feet as she passes by. Rhialla can hear its unholy moans as it pulls itself out of the ground.

[Goryokaku]

Celebrilith charges at the zombie and slashes it with her claws, damaging it.

[Lynxy]

"What do you mean, Skeletons?!" Monika demanded of Suzu who ignored her and ran off after her friend. "Wait! Where did you-" Her question became moot mid-sentence as zombies began crawling out of the ground all across the towns central plaza. "H-how did they get in here!?"

Springing into action, she whipped her crossbow off of her back and dashed south across the field to get an angle were she wasn't so likely to shoot the charging Celebrilith. Satisfied with her position for the moment, she raised the bow and placed a bolt right in the zombies stomach... where it was promptly ignored. It seemed like even her heavy crossbow wasn't going to be up to the task against these things.

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Posting, what's that?

Garian moved to an advantageous position! Behind a tree. He couldn't get into melee quite yet.

Kasidra, looking very bored, simply pointed her finger at the zombie that had sprouted up from the ground before her and Janeei. It set alight in an instant and expired as a charred, searing corpse. "Teach you to interrupt me while I'm talking. Hmph."

Rhialla, noticing the zombies sprouting up, had decided to try and cha- Oh. It set on fire. That was probably Kasidra... New plan! She turned on her heel and approached the zombie at her flank, swinging! Her blade unfortunately came down at the wrong angle and grazed off of the undead being harmlessly.
