The three of you move as quickly and quietly as you can as you make your way down the narrow pathway into the first cave. You debate about just trying to feel your way through but the darkness quickly changes your mind as you no longer can see your own hands. You fumble for a bit but somehow you and your friends manage to light some torches. Each step seems to thunder despite your best attempts to stay quiet. Your torches hiss and sizzle every so often when you raise it too close to the frozen cave ceiling and they drip. In the distance, you hear the faint jingling and clacking of the undead's armor. Their uneven steps helped guide you through the cave but you had to make sure to remain out of their line of sight.
Undead weren't particularly intelligent at your level range and only really reacted to loud noises or seeing something they were ordered to kill. In theory, you could go through the whole dungeon without being caught but the narrow passages and caves made that nearly impossible. It was only because of them converging in a single place that you were able to travel unimpeded. Sunlight nearly blinds you as you exit the first cave and arrive at the first stone bridge. Peering over the edge, you can still see tons of movement. Another explosion roars out from a nearby cave far louder than you've heard so far. A gout of flame erupts from an entrance just below you and you see a body flung out from the force of the explosion. By some miracle they land right on the bridge, roll through the impact and scramble to their feet. Several zombies shamble through the smoke onto the bridge seemingly unaffected by their missing limbs and various pieces of their torso.
Their target stands proud, trench coat billowing in the wind, and raises their weapon, a kind of sword with some sort of revolver cylinder at the hilt. "Foul abominations! If there was any shred of humanity left in your corpses you'd fling yourselves off of this bridge! In Her Fury's name, I'll deliver you to your damnation!" The woman screams as she levels her weapon at the oncoming monsters. There's a gunshot and a burst of fire and magical energy rockets out from the tip of the blade right along the spine of it. It slams into the nearest zombie blowing off their other arm. The cylinder turns and locks into the next chamber as the woman dashes forward. She swings her sword down and buries into the zombie's shoulder. Another gunshot rings out but no "bullet" is fired. Instead, she uses the recoil to force the blade onward adding more power to the swing and cuts the monster cleanly in two. The woman uses the remaining energy left in the attack to continue her spin and slice through the leg of another zombie nearby. The one legged undead stumbles backwards and falls off the bridge but another soon takes it's place and soon others began to encroach from the other side of the bridge as well.
