As the Undead clambered out of their husks composed of rotten bodies, they found themselves in a vulnerable position. Their weapons were found placed vertically in the dirt next to the mounds, together with various other weapons most likely belonging to their former owners who did not rise to claim them.

Grotesque warriors lumbered erratically around the remains of the fallen, sometimes stopping to inspect a burial mound and stare viciously at it, as if looking for any sort of movement in order to engage it. Most of the times it did not come to that, as the region was eerily quiet and devoid of life.

The charred glass crunched under their boots as the Undead rose to their feet.

To the north west the graveyard ended as it neared the edge of what appeared to be the marshes or borders of a swamp, which did not envelop all too much. To the east the plains stretched out into a blurred expanse and to the south a there was a forest with large pine trees and seemingly nothing else in particular. ((Thanks for joining, Red and Maxi. Both of your characters are accepted and you can start off like everyone else. See this post for a description of the area.))

The beings slowly but surely started decreasing the distance between them and Katla, as they headed towards her in packs, intent on disposing of her. They effectively kept her of going towards the northwest and northeast, only leaving the forest behind her as a possible escape route.

As Rundal remained silent, the creature did not notice anything else out of the ordinary. The warrior stayed there for a few split seconds, before departing and heading towards another unkown target. The creature's companions and fellows started heading towards whatever victim they had found, giving Rundal the oppurtunity to take advantage of the distraction.

The surrounding vegetation constantly started to increase as the man went deeper in the forest. There were still signs of battle behind her from before, but they had only increased by now.

As he inspected some of the vegetation, he could learn a few things of how to harness it and take advantage of the various herbs that he could see.

''The growth in the forest is stagnant and unchanging, as the immortal that tended to the forest was slaughtered a long time ago. Among the vegetation are various herbs that can be used in alchemical concoctions or be chewed raw in exchange for both positive and negative effects.''

''Mara's Quintessence, one of the bright green herbs that used to grow on the left barks of these trees, is a potent healing bush and can quickly ease pain and over time slowly heal minor wounds. The herb had to be either chewed or put on the wound in order for it to take effect.''

''Some purple resins of the willows in the area contain a useful antidote in the case one has been poisoned. Although not always effective, there is a high chance that the blood will be cleansed of harmful effects or decrease the risks of poisoning. These were marked by white dots that were present in the resins.''

A yellow mucilage was the counterpart towards these antidotes - the substance that could be found on these plants have a toxic effect and could be rubbed on various tools to increase the chance of inflicting damage over time.

These herbs stopped growing a long time ago, so should one find one of these, he must harvest it, lest another steal these gifts of nature forever.
