Eira, standing defiantly in the doorway, her silhouette stark against the night, swiftly drew upon the cold essence of the wilderness. With a whispered incantation and a fluid gesture, she conjured an ice knife, its crystalline blade gleaming with lethal frost.

She hurled the spell at the advancing ghasts with unerring precision. The ice knife pierced through the closest ghast before detonating in a burst of jagged shards, the explosion tearing through the foul creatures with a chilling howl of elemental fury.

She quickly moves around following in the direction Sarah went

Saya fixed her eyes on the spray of fetid blood and rendered flesh of the ghoulish abomination, that Sherrin had left in her wake. The Ronin's nostrils flared and her breath and pulse began to quicken. From deep within her an animalistic, feral, and unbridled bloodlust began to boil...but her prescence of mind and trainined discipline grasped a hold of it and focused it into a source of inhuman strength and resilency, instead of just letting run wild and amok, even as the greyscales of her darkvision began shift into crimson red.

Fuelled by this focused bloodlust, Saya sprinted the remaining distance from her landing to the pair of closest undead cannibals, her hands still gripping her sword and scabbard. When she was within striking distance, she lunged forward and drew her blade with lightning quick reflexes in a well practiced motion that sent the blade flying upwards, slashing across the already wounded ghast.

Ejira blasts Gala with an ice knife, piercing the creatures chest but not slowing it down enough to avoid the icy blast. George however, is just a little too slow and takes the full cold damge, leaving his claws with a frosty covering.

Kagami brings the RAGE and slices gala with the full weight of the katana. Gala was no match for the samurai, and the creature falls to the ground in two grotesque halves.

Tevis Longfellow - Human Warlock

Well, at least one of them was down. Of course, there were still...two more? Was that a second one over there. Well, either way, Tevis wasn't particularly interested in getting eaten. Drawing on the power he had been granted by the Being, he wove the magic into a ball of eldritch magic that he hurled at the ghast menacing Saya.

Unfortunately, the power was quite uncontrolled, and completely missed the ghast entirely.

With Gala falling dead, Sarah moved 15 ft north, moved the hunter's mark to George, fired her handcrossbow at it and moved 10 ft east to keep a safe distance from it. "Great work, folks. Two more to go down and we check perimeter."

Tevis can't quite get a bead on George, but Sarah lands a good shot and the crossbow bolt pierces into George's shoulder.

Grissom makes a mad dash straight for Kagami and goes to bite into her shoulder, but is met only with the hard steel of her armor.

Sherrin peeks over the edge of the roof to see Says facing down two ghasts alone. 'I've got to go back down and do something to help,' the thinks. She runs down the wall of the barn, her slippers holding her fast to its surface without any extra effort needed. The stench of the ghasts is not so bad when she's expecting it.

She notices that the ghastGrissom the Ghast, having focused its attention on the menacing threat that is Saya, has left its right side wide open. With a lunge, Sherrin stabs at it with her shortsword, pushing the blade deep inside.

Just as quickly as she arrived, she runs back to the roof where it's (probably) safe, absolutely certain in her belief that her allies don't need her to stay on the battlefield any longer than necessary.

Sarah had moved the mark to George, not Grissom. And now that her foe was still alive, she would fire two bolts at it, moving closer firing, and backing away again. She was sure her shots would kill the beast, so she warned the others. "Focus your attacks on the other foe."

"Sound advice from Sarah, in hunting it was always better to kill the creatures quickly, less likely for your hunters to get damaged this way." Eira heard the words of her ancestors and mentors echo in her mind and the magic of a touch that affected those unliving came to her mind and flowed out of her body.

A spectral hand of "Yurin, the deathless" one of Eira's ancestors reached out at the creature Sarah had dictated they concentrate on.

Saya could taste the sickening foul ichor that hung in the air from the spray of gore that followed her strike. She flipped the edge of her blade towards her next target, even as the first ghoulish foe hit the ground, and swung again with a sharp and powerful exhale of breath in a screaming war cry…heedless of the projectiles that flew around in the air around her from her comrades or the gnashing claws and jagged fangs of the ghast who were now stuck in the melee with her.
