I'm walking slowly toward the shop area, when I start getting battle reports. zombies are coming from every which way. I quickly run to the castle, leaving the poor merchants to their fate, since I am a newly minted character(with a mortal wound), and no match for a horde of zombies. I figured the lords guards could help me defend myself. when I get to the castle, I walk inside only to find a group of zombies already streaming from inside the castle.
I had something similar happen when I went after my retired sorcerer-necromancer-pyromancer-psychic adventurer. While I was still playing him I raised a bunch of zombies, including some giant jaguars, giant dingoes and a behemoth. Took over a mildly ruined town, raised all non-mangled inhabitants, retired, then tried to get to him as other adventurers. One of them had almost gotten to the keep, when the zombies rushed from the inside. As they were retreating, the behemoth zombie came out of inbetween some buildings along with a few other undead and charged the adventurer. Dead in 1 hit. It was cool though, in a L4D-ish way.
remember that OP necro-vampire character from my second post? i settled him in a big town with all his 367 zombies (i lagged a lot) then started another character and trained it, i was killing the zombies ( harpies, dragons, goblins, humans, dwarves, eagles, horses, etc) when one of them ripped off my right leg, (he was a legless corpse so i escaped easily) i was crawling, searching for a crutch in a near mead hall, walking was hard and slow, apparently being a proficient swordsman was not enough, i found a whip, a shield and an armor, when i recovered my normal speed, went back to kick some rotten zombie asses (eww) i got surrounded by a horde (6 of them) they proceeded to dismember me, when everything was lost armok smiled me, i turned into a werewolf ( probably confused a yellow "Ñ" for a green one), zombies were stupid enough to stand still and let me slice them, one by one the zombies fell until i reached the keep, ahh, Rere Neltionec, i raised you, i made you what you are now, but now i have to kill you,
wish me luck...
