The atmosphere in the old ruins was odd. On the one hand they were in good shape; the mansion seemed quite habitable. On the other hand, every hair on Talinna's neck raised when she looked at the abandoned courtyards. Something was wrong here. Likewise, Salogel, the ranger, was extremely cautious, but he was really paranoid. The others weren't as lighthearted as usual. Hence, nobody was surprised when several figures emerged from the doors and attacked without warning. The goblin dismounted from his riding dog and ran up the stairs, where Deny was calling fiery doom upon the attackers. The evil half-dragon girl flew up into the air, casted a spell and suddenly a chain of green lights lashed through the courtyard, leaving clouds of obnoxious purple smoke. Where the lights stroke the ground, a zombie rised. Arsinoë laughed and, with a vigorous kick, sent him flying across the courtyard. The riding dog went for Talinna, but she considered the half-dragon sorceress the more dangerous target, and thus aimed her spell at her. Ilmig stepped in and attacked the fiendish dog from behind. While she encouraged her friends, Talinna noticed the dark elf's bolt finding its target in the half-dragon's wing. They would win this fight.
