Day 2, Part 3
In short order you have the skeletons take up hiding places around the mausoleum, and have the zombies lay down on the ground without moving until you give command otherwise hoping to set up an ambush in case these guards find their way here as well. Much like yesterday things do not go your way, and the group of intruders begins to follow a similar route those on the previous day had followed in search of their supposedly lost comrades. With little choice in the matter you simply watch events unfold as the guards draw closer, and closer to the center of the graveyard with every passing moment hoping your trap goes well.
A sense of joy feels you since as soon as the guards happen upon the former soldiers turned guards two of them run over crying out in distress, and the captain cries of warning come to late. As the two soldiers crouch over their fallen comrades their faces turn from expressions of sadness and concern to despair as the lifeless corpses suddenly spur into action digging their teeth into the throats of the two foolish humans. With the zombies taking care of two guards your skeletons leap into action falling upon the remaining intruders who look on in a mixture of confusion, and terror at the scene before them.
The fighting is brutal, and as your minions bravely throw themselves into the fray, working together to slaughter these vile intruders, the guards show a valiant scene as they face quickly turn to face the oncoming undead warriors. Both sides clash for a few moments, and at first it seems as if your servants would be able to overpower the humans in moments, but guard captain shatters all hopes of that. With a roar the man charges forward smashing his sword down onto a skeleton's head just in time to save one of his followers, shoving the guard back from the fight he yells over his shoulder.
Captain: "Get to town, tell them that the dead are rising, and we need help from the Guild. The rest of you lazy bastards to me, if we're going to die we might as well take one or two of these things with us!"
Seeing the fleeing guard you order the archer to fire on him, but the creature only manages to bury one into the poor fool's shoulder before he arrives outside of the archer's range. Infuriated you order the zombies forward into the battle, and are somewhat astounded at the sheer tenacity of the weak human warriors before you. Despite being outnumbered, and ill trained the remaining three humans manage to fend off your minions for a good while until the finally succumb to their wounds and exhaustion. When finally the captain dies you feel a large influx of power, but this new found energy came at a heavy cost ...

Surpass Death - With your Heart's growth in power it has begun to regain some of its former powers, and now the Lich King's vessel is capable of planting a seed of its glory in one of your minions.

None?
Yeah, so am I. So why don't we just fight them normally?
As you can probably tell from the update from my count normal fighting was the leading vote, there really was no consensus on anything else.
