Turn 2
Arror Blazzup
[1] To the fortifications ran Arror, unaware of the curse placed upon his armour. As soon as he got there and peaked his head out to see the hostile armies, a powerful force pulled him into the Abyss!
[2] Venturing forth through the realms of malice, terror and pain, the same force pulled him again. To a fortress of flesh and bone, where all hope may be gone. He flied through an open gate, where the dark rider was awaiting.
"A mortal in the armour of wraiths, aggravating! For the rest of your miserable life you will serve me, and further, till the end of eternity!" the dread knight have said.
Jack Frost
[4] Jack observed the horizon in search of enemies. It wasn't a troublesome task, armies of the Underworld were just outside city walls! He alerted other guards.
"Yeah, we can see them!" one of them spat out.
[1] The wanderer took aim just when a catapult hurled a corpse right at him! The dead slammed with Jack with enough force to throw him off the fortifications!
Sandford
Sandford yelled to the knight he could see in the distance:
"Well met, traveler! Sorry we can't give you a proper welcome, but it seems there's about to be a bit of demon trouble. I see you've got a sword. You here to help with the monsters, by any chance?" He did not respond though, he might have not heard his shout.
"Well, looks like they aren't interested in talking. Now then, let's see how you lot were planning to shoot..."[5] The wanderer inquired about tactics and shooting techniques of the city watch. Seeing many imperfections and fallacies in them, he instructed them on proper defense and shooting, doubling their effectiveness!
Reynald Law-Keeper & Iolani
Someone shouted from the city walls, but Reynald wouldn’t respond to him, being too far off to hear him over the sounds of the army before him. The army he was going to weaken and delay.
Iolani came upon who she assumed was the person Waerghulf, the God of the Hunt, mentioned. He was turned away from her, looking into the distance at the oncoming enemy. He lacked a helmet and full protection, but she could see the shine in both his hair and plated armor. Knowing that a conversation would assumedly interrupt his concentration, she drew her shortbow and followed him in stride. At least she could see the surroundings more from her current position.
[Reynald: 3 +1, Undead Soldier: 1, Undead Soldier: 6, Impling: 5] The watchman noticed an easy target within the enemy lines - a typical undead grunt. He took aim, targeting at its head, and shot! The arrow pierced a rotting eye and flied through the skull, then bounced off the armour of another undead soldier. A lesser demon noticed from where the arrow flied and chucked a sparkbolt back to Reynald!
[6] Reynald was able to dodge the speeding bolt of sparks with ease. However, the dried grass he and Iolani were standing on have immediately ignited!
[Reynald: 1, Iolani: 1] Parts of their clothes have set ablaze as if they were soaked with oil!
Arthur Stanford
"But The Lord will forgive you for your sins against him and his people, This is the Armagedon and as The Lord man we will be prepared, when those armies of Satan will come we will fight in the name of our Lord and we will hold in this house of prayer!" - Arthur have preached.
[4] Nearly all the frightened souls in the church found wisdom in the words of the doom prophet. Citizens started gathering resources required to change the Church of Nix into a true fortress!
Nmngubgu Sugnta
[2] With a confused look in his face, Nmngubgu tried to answer in his own language.
"...Hu, fbeel. V qba'g ernyyl haqrefgnaq. Jub ner lbh ntnva? Qb V xabj lbh sebz fbzrjurer?" The man stared at the demiurge in confusion.
[5]
"And I thought that it'd go easily... the man said, took a note out of his pockets and handed it to Nmngubgu. It was one of those "Wanted" posters... with demiurge's portrait and name on it. Someone needed help in finding him out, and those interested should meet in "Taffing Blaggard" inn. Curiously, the note said that no harm should be done to the newcomer from the east.
There is a seemingly small cottage outside the city walls. It is standing atop a hill that overlooks local swamps, to the north. A magician called Seymour the Amethyst and his daughter Lydia live there. The girl is a wise woman, she received a vision showing that you will come here, and that you are being followed by members of the Dark Circle. They offer you protection, as well as exchange of knowledge. Should you believe in words of a lowly drunkard that wanted to change his miserable life, head to Northern Gate through Old Quarter and go to the hut." The man disappeared before Nmngubgu could process all his speech, but demiurge felt that he didn't lie.
Solomon Blackguard
[4] Solomon had no troubles blending in with the crowd, as if he wasn't wearing Dark Circle's robes at all! He skimmed through the notes that The Man gave him. He didn't have to read them, as the knowledge contained within somehow just flown into his mind. The demiurge learnt more about all the possible ways to kill a demon!

GM Notes
Found some time for an update. I have almost forgotten how fun writing Undead Hunt was when players weren't game-breaking meta killers. Sheets will be updated, when they'll be updated.
