"Hrm. I wonder," Silf says, flying to the window that allowed her to first enter the tavern. Standing on the ledge with her hands on her hips, the little fairy begins whistling a tiny tune. As she sees the zombies approaching, she begins to point at patches in the ground, casting mold earth as many times as she can before they reach the tavern, to try to create a five-foot deep ditch between the creatures and the building. For each five-foot square that she excavates, she redirects the piles of dirt on the tavern side of the ditch, hopefully making it more difficult for anything to climb out of the holes.
After creating as many holes, or as long of a ditch, as she can, Silf flutters back down to the bottom of the tavern. Seeing the general chaos, she shouts, "Is anyone hurt? I can heal you if you need it!"

Honorary Leader in the Pixie Peewee Powderpuff Pals!
"Thank you, " Beryl replies to Nobriki's aid. "Good thinking," she adds to Silf. "I could use more but help Cal," she says her tone and expression insistent even if Cal shakes his head.
"No, I'm fine. She needs it," Cal says to Silf. "Much appreciated," he nods going back to doctoring Beryl's spear wound!
Apple Jack seems slightly dazed by the events or possibly a spell but the animal doesn't seem to have serious injuries. A few glancing blows with a blunt weapon but nothing life threatening.
"Angry and hungry people everywhere, everywhere, " Apple Jack says repeatedly. "Glad you are safe. We are safe," the mule adds seemingly incredibly relieved to be with Eron again!
Cal looks at Eron after his moment with his animal companion and replies.
"Apple Jack saved me too," Cal replies with a soft tone and nod at Eron's outpouring of thanks. "After the wagon was surrounded and the horses..." he trails off shuttering. "Apple Jack fought them off with a furry of hooves," he adds patting the mule who nuzzles Cal in return.
"Good man," Apple Jack says to Eron. "Very small but good," the mule adds.
"As for Pelor," Cal begins again as Beryl audibly sighs. "Well, his light helps me see the good in everything and shields be from darkness. I would gladly share my knowledge of him with you, " the cleric adds next nodding at Eron smiling softly before returning to fuss over Beryl who smiles softly caressing the halfling's face.
"I'm...going to live thanks to you not your God Caladon," Beryl says pulling Caladon into a hug still seated in the chair the pair are nearly face to face! "I would have gladly died to protect you," she whispers giving Cal a soft kiss on the cheek as the cleric's cheeks and nose turn red with a blush. "Thank you for your healing as well Nobriki, " she then says straightening up as suddenly a crash outside pulls everyone's attention there! A couple of the zombies have fallen into Silf's pits unable to get out of them!
There are thuds on the doors and windows however from reach weapons. A reminder to the party on the lower floor of the dangers outside!
"We need an exit plan," Beryl then says managing to get to her feet but isn't as swift or agile as before! Cal offers an arm and Beryl takes it. "They'll keep coming until we stop them! We need to know how and why they're here," she adds as Caladon nods agreeing.
Although Cal bound her wounds well but Beryl is still injured and she needs rest to fully heal! Beryl then asks the party downstairs for ideas on the way ahead. Beryl cleans up Cal's face and hands lamenting a blow to the side of his head that has taken off a partial part of his ear!
"It must be coming from Turst Field," Cal muses aloud looking out through a space in the boards used to block up the window! "It'll be dark soon and with the new moon black as pitch," he adds with a sigh.
Cal turns to face the party as Beryl moves to unsaddle Navar and give the warhorse the once over before she's satisfied the injuries are minor.
"So..." Nobriki says, awkwardly clearing his throat. "There's still a matter upstairs for you two to be checking on. And we should decide if we will be boarding up here for the night, and if not, we should pry look to high tail it out of here soon."
OOC Quatt that was with advantage? I'm on mobile and can't tell
"Well, I think staying here is the only option," Beryl says gesturing at her wounds and the fading sunlight outside!
"I think here is best as well," Cal agrees with Beryl. "Is there another exit? If I'm honest I was never remotely interested in coming into this tavern before today, " the halfling adds with a smirk looking around the dinghy room of mostly broken furniture.
"Silf," Beryl calls out having hobbled to the window to look out a gap in the boards. "Your trench has quite a few new residents," she explains gesturing at the window and smiling back at the fairy. "Hopefully they won't figure out how to climb up each other to get out," she adds with a grimace.

“It’s good to see you two back.” Blair says, a warm smile on his lips. "And you'll be delighted to hear that Lai is here, in the room upstairs. She’s wounded, she is holding up well."
He peers out the slit on the window boards and sees the zombies falling in the ditches Silf made and let’s out a soft chuckle. “That’s very smart. Hopefully it’d give us enough time.” He gestures towards the door, “Should we barricade it again?”
Eron will start working on barricading the doors, he will use a couple pitons and his hammer to even spike the door shut. Once he has done all he can to block the entry he will find a place where he can fire his bow down at the shambling abominations.
"Allaire is alive," Caladon exclaims bolting up the steps before Beryl even manages to turn around to face Blair!
"Good. At least that's one death of his conscience," Beryl calls out gruffly but doesn't tackle the stairs. "Has anyone looked for other exits or entry points? If we're sleeping here I'd rather not wake up to soneone gnawing in me," the half-orc says trying to add levity but her eyes go to the stairs where the entire party an overhear Cal's greeting of Lai with relief and excitement.
Upstairs....
Quatt sees Caladon barrel into the room then skid to a stop when he finds Lai knelt beside the writhing corpse!
"Allaire," Cal exclaims as the paladin looks up.
Lai us pallad and sweating, she looks like she's near fainting once again.
"Caladon! You came for me," she asks nect confused as she rocks back on her bare feet using the table leg to stand.
"Yes, I...." Cal pauses as the corpse breaks through it's bindings grasping out at Lai! "Allaire stand back," Caladon says gesturing at the corpse of Deirdre with a frown as his hand fills with divine radiance!
"No," Lai begins. "She saved me! I...I have to try," she says stumbling towards Caladon her hands up trying to stop her brother in Pelor from attacking!

Blair helps Beryl look for other exits. But time from time he glances upwards. “Are we sure Cal will be alright? Lai was very stubborn about her friend…” He turns to Beryl, “Her name is Deirdre. She’s infected and turned into a zombie. Lai was set on saving her. She has her tied up, though I don’t know how Cal would respond.”
While Beryl and Blair look for other exits Nobriki will make sure there's no loose boards, big holes, or gaps, and see if he sees anything that would indicate a cellar under floor.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Quatt slams the butt of his staff on the floor, causing some of the wooden floor to wrap up and around his staff, arcing out to create spikes. He then steps forward to swing his staff at the zombie as he urges his fungus to start releasing their spores.

"No," Lai screams as Quatt's staff shatters the zombies skull causing it to finally stop writhing as the corpse releases whatever foul magic was keeping it animated as inky black begins to ooze out of the body!
Lai collapses to her knees as Cal goes down with her. Lai sobbs unto Cal's arms as the entire party hears the scuffle upstairs but isn't quite sure what's happening.
"You could have given me a chance to explain," Cal says to Quatt with a frown as Lai continues to sob.
The paladin is injured and exhausted! Caladon sighs as he begins to rock Lai in his arms.

“What are our intentions? If we remain we will be surrounded. If we try to flee the sooner the better. We do not know the source or numbers of this atrocity, do we? Silf are you limited in your flight or are you able see what numbers we are facing? I am with you no matter the choices we make, but I will not go down without a fight!” Eron can’t stand seem to stand still he is pacing.
