Erlic quickly got up after seeing Ravin’s departure from the kitchen, only after his fellow thief had helped him out of a jam. Erlic looked around, and noticed the queen’s zombies huddled in a corner. It was obvious they were the queen’s or they also would be in the midst of attacking. It was at that moment that one of the unknown attackers came in through one of the side doors. Erlic quickly grabbed at the creature’s wrist that held the dagger, twisted it hard, hearing the tell tale crack of bone breaking as it dropped the weapon immediately. Erlic then pivoted on one foot, while the other swung around, making contact with the zombie’s head, and sending him directly through the door between the kitchen, and the dining room, busting it down in the process.

Erlic quickly sized up the situation, and despite the severe cut on his shoulders continued his fight. From the side another of the zombies tried to lunge at him, but he managed to merely duck out of the way, immediately sending two shurikens toward the beast’s head, implanting them within its skull.

He quickly turned around, and spotted another of the creatures heading toward a now unconscious Justin, who had his face buried in a pie. Erlic started in a run, jumped into the air, and connected the zombie with his two feet knocking it to the ground, and still maintaining his own stance. As the zombie started to get up, Erlic simply grabbed the creature’s neck, and twisted it viciously, ending its life immediately.

Erlic turned to see if any of the others needed his help. Erlic wondered who these creatures were, and why they had picked the palace to attack. Something was very unclear about their assault, and why they were so adamant upon killing the queen’s guests. Somehow, Erlic figured that the queen would also be one of their targets. As he looked around he noted that Marz was barely holding his own. If not for Ravin, the youth would have sustained more damage.

********************


Corum was too busy concentrating on Brat when the scuffle broke out, along with the loud noise coming from the kitchen. He was still wondering about Brat’s actions when someone cried out to kill all of them. “Kill who, and why, and who said that?” Corum stated somewhat absentmindedly. Seeing Marz get to his feet, and start fighting, Corum got the impression that he should do the same. Fortunately for the youth, he managed to upend his chair as he stood, thus blocking an attack from one of the zombies.

Corum turned to see the creature raising a dagger at him. “Whoa Nelly!” Corum yelled as he bopped the creature on the head with Yorik. The damage was quite minimal, and as the creature shook its head, Corum readied himself for an attack. He swung Yorik in an arc, and missed!

Ahhhhhhh Striiiiiiiiiiikkkkkke One!

“I’ll strike you in a minute if you don’t shutup, Yorik.” Corum stated. He did, however, manage to block his attacker’s attempt to implant a rather nasty looking dagger into his skull. “That’s it,” Corum stated. “Time for you to die!” Corum again swung his staff hard, and again missed his mark. “Damn Yorik, can’t you hit anything?”

Ahhhhhhh Striiiiiiiiikkkkkkke Two!

Corum grumbled under his breath, trying to shake the sleepy feeling he had. He continued to shake his head hoping that it would help his concentration. This time his attacker managed to slice a wound in his leg. “Those were new pants you moron!” Corum screamed. Now he was mad. Without thinking, of course we all know, and wonder about that statement, especially when it comes to Corum, the skull staff wielder swung quickly, and bashed the staff into his opponent’s skull, knocking him to the ground.

Look out! Look out! That one’s going………….going…………..going…….man that one’s outta here. Home run!

“Now I’m happy,” Corum mentioned to no one in particular. “You better have some money on you or you’re history,” Corum mentioned to the unconscious body as he kicked it in the side. “Someone’s gonna pay for these pants.”

Of course Corum didn’t realize at the moment that he was wounded. He simply turned to see if the others needed any help. He spotted Tia, and Jeremy, and in front of them a number of creatures were lifting the liquor cart, flinging it directly toward them. Without thinking Corum ran, and tackled both Tia, and Jeremy, sending them both to the ground, and taking the full impact of the cart being thrown at them. Corum’s eyes closed as something hit his head.

***********************


Erlic had spotted Corum’s attempt in trying to save Tia, and Jeremy, and only shook his head as the attackers tried to attack those that were now huddled on the floor. He quickly let fly two daggers, killing one of the zombies immediately. The other started to turn toward him. Erlic waited for his attacker to approach him. The man swung his sword quickly, and Erlic rolled quickly out of the way, swinging his feet at his opponent’s legs, thus knocking him off balance. Erlic was on top of the man, and with a massive hand strike, delivered a blow to the creature’s windpipe. The creature never moved.
