Sure does.

Draw all weapons, equip all anti-undead relics, and proceed with caution.

Okay, we are all ready now.

So, any great ideas how to get in?
We could break the door. I recall Barton has explosives with him.
I would like to save them for more important occasions.
What are you saying, that this isn't a good occasion for such?
Oh shut up deathpriest. The explosion would alert the whole castle.

Look for climbable walls.

Unless one of you mugs has a grappling hook.

>>289253
Look for a small side entrance or some climbable walls.

Okay, we use a grappling hook to get on the wall. It's all going well.
Currently I am on the wall, Kach is still climbing. There are several patrols of undead patrolling the courtyard.
>'Grrrrrr'

>>289264
How closely tied to the one that raised them are they and how easy are they to dodge?

If the raise won't notice it if they 'die' again then maybe the deathpriest has something nifty that they can use to put them back in the dirt.

Incoming. Weapons out, fire when ready.

Here we go! Slash with your sword and world will slide into its rightful place!

Oh, they found us already?
Nah, just undead patrolling on the walls. Very weak ones to boot. No alarm, so I guess they all live invidually without mind.
Good to know. I am sure inside we will face some much mightier foes.
Hah, the only problem will be locating the demon.
I am not too sure about that. Be on guard!

>>289304
Have you redeaded all of the undead? If so then it's time to find a discrete entrance to the big place.

I warned you about the undead!

Zombie inflicted minor slash on Barton
Barton retaliates.
Zombie is killed ( again )

>>289384
Behead them all. If they continue moving, lightly dismember.

agree. then when none are around get a good look at the wound. if it's really minor then just put some gauze or something on it so it doesn't keep bleeding.

So, are you alright?
It's just a scrape.
Hush! Let's go. We cannot waste time.

Okay, courtyard is full of undead as I mentioned.
There might be entrance to the castle on the wall. Hmmm. Windows can be broken and we might able to climb on the roof...

We need a quick rundown of the effects of these powers, as well as the cost.

Don't split up. Your team works well to cover each other's weaknesses, and no doubt you are all very competent on your own, but you are now inside enemy territory, and without the possible advantage of psychological terrorism due to the enemy being undead, splitting up and implementing surgical ghost-strikes is no longer practical.

Let's see If I've got this straight:
>Barton, excellent tactician, better fighter. Able to deal with single and multiple enemies, including ranged attackers. Best when fighting in clear areas and against orthodox opponents. Disadvantaged by surprise attacks or clutter; anything that slows his personal momentum or distracts his focus.
>Jintigee, a survivalist first with excellent skill in stealth, and uses a fighting style that focuses on striking before the enemy can react, or slipping through and bypassing the enemy's defences. Stereotypically effective as a scout, and able to hide himself easily, both in low and in high places. Disadvantaged by equally fast or heavily armed/armored opponents.
>Kach, a capable priestess-warrior that specializes in one-hit-K.O.'s, and is the only one of the group that can reliably damage or destroy unorthodox opponents without undue risk or cost in materials. Best used as the assassin of the group, moving in and out of combat to cut short battles with quick slash of her scythe. Disadvantaged by multiple opponents, traps, or surprise attacks.
How accurate are my assessments?

Current course of action: continue along the wall, and quickly. Jintigee should take point keep an eye towards the courtyard, while Kach keeps an eye on the horizon and along the wall. Barton, you bring up the rear watching for incoming from behind, and keep an eye on the towers and windows for spotters and archers. Any forces you encounter, dispatch them. If non-undead, kill them first and kick the bodies to the side quickly where they won't be readily noticed, then move on faster. All of you need to keep an eye out for anything useful: flammables, light armor, dark cloaks, symbols of indentification, tomes of dark lore, etc.

Take a quick look at the scratch

Yeah keep going on the walls and try not to be spotted from the courtyard. Have Jintigee take point. See If you can pick a lock or quietly break a window by gluing/taping some fabric to it before hitting it so it shatters silently.

Climbing is only an option if you can find some angle to do it where you won't be seen.

Those assesments are quite accurate! Super-powers eh? Those can be only used once per day. They are quite exhausting, but do massive damage. Jintigee becomes fast as lightning for brief moment and Kach becomes avatar of Death God for a short while. My super-power slashes, crushes and burns the hell out of anyone nearby.

Here, have a map.

Yeah, going for that door. Keeping low profile, no archers in sight.

"Hey, Grosian swamp-bear incoming!"

----

Remember, you can also control other characters.

Swamp bear or undead swamp bear? I guess you could treat it like any other charging beast.

Barton: Summon a spear or polearm and step back, letting the bear impale itself as you slow down its charge with a firm application of your strength. Don't let it bite the spear.

Kach and Jintigee: Attack once the bear is slowed. Go for the neck and legs respectively.

Drink a bear.

>>289652
>My super-power slashes, crushes and burns the hell out of anyone nearby.
Including team-mates, too, I suppose?

>>289658
>>289801
Impaling sounds great, but watch out if it jumps. Kach, once it's stuck for even a moment, swing in and harvest it's soul. It's too big, and too fast for a fair fight.

"A fucking Grossian swamp-bear. What the hell is it doing here anyway. We are way too north to encounter such."
"Yes, finding such thing here undead is concerning. It might be that our enemy has gathered some creatures from places far away."
"Well, shit."
"Hey guys, I found a door. It is locked, but that should not be a problem."

PIck the door lock and go in like pros.

No problem! Jintigee knows how to pick locks. We could have just struck the door down, but this works too. It is much silent.

"A fireblast trap!"
Shit! Gotta act fast before the spell activates!

>>291006
..Step to the left. stone doorways are useful like that.

What's that worm snake thing on the right?!

Still got that grappling hook you used to climb the wall? If you throw that you can use it to flip that table forwards so the trap points down onto the floor.

>>291011
Do this, and make sure your midget valuable team member gets out of the way too.

If you can't pull the table down then just get everyone out of the way.

"Well, I guess we can go on?"

>>298250
If it was extinguished, then there's someone alive in there. Look around before rushing in willy nilly.

Suggest that Jintigee quickly checks it out while invisible. Then move on.

2 seconds remaining.

>>300517
Kill that guy.

Disarm him/take the stuff he's carrying then call for Barton and Kach to help restrain that guy. He seems to be possessed or crazy.

Oh, it seems that Jintigee caught someone!
>"...what happen?"

"Yes, I think he is possessed. His spirit is a scrambled mess at the moment. Not a common symptom."
"Can you do anything?"
"Not much. We could just tie him up or try to remove demon's influence on him."

Let's try to remove the demon's influence, then.

Clearly the way to remove the demon is to hang him upside down from the rafters and beat him with a silver stick.

Also look through the stuff that guy was carrying.

>>302985
Do all of this, unless you think that the silver stick thing won't work.
If it won't work then bind him securely and try to figure out what's possessing him, then list what the weaknesses of that are.
