Victor was being pursued, Lucrezia saw. Blast it! The piercing nature of her bolts was so very useless against unfeeling sacks of flesh! She had not even a dagger to defend herself with otherwise, a fact that seemed quite foolish in hindsight. Then again, she had not expected to come up against undead; perhaps foul summonings or wild beasts at worst, whom all disliked having metal rods lodged into critical areas. These fleshlings, however, were inconvenienced by it hardly at all.
So how was she going to help him!?
Think, she told herself. If her raw combat skills could not help her, perhaps her theoretical knowledge could. She held her crossbow towards the offending creatures as Victor fought them off and desperately tried to summon some small insight that could help them.
Now that she thought about it, they were outside... in broad daylight. So were the creatures . It was rather ironic seeing such abominations - usually associated with the dark - beneath glow of watery sun, but it got the girl wondering. Why had they not ventured outside the property? Terrorized the village beyond? The 'younger' corpse had already been outside the house to begin with. Perhaps they were somehow... tied to the place?
Perhaps they could not leave the boundaries? Was that what those symbols were for? To restrict their movement, so they did not squander themselves on the pitchforks of the townsfolk, or get the supposed necromancer discovered before he wanted to be?
"Victor!" Lucrezia shouted, managing to place a shot into one of the creatures not directly assaulting his front, warding it off with the mild impact of the bolt to the side of its head and quickly reloading. "I don't think they can move past the symbols we saw. If we can get to those, we should be safe!"
