The Professor can do nothing but watch as Delorna applies her magic. He had never heard of anything like this before. She termed it Necromancy, but from the Professor's experience, Necromancy had more to do with instilling unnatural properties into dead creatures. A plant affected by Necromantic magic was simply...amazing.

"Delorna, if possible I would love to hear of your theories in magic. What a unique perspective..."

''Right, after we rescue the children and get back to town, I'll tell you all about it.''

Isidar nods sagely, “Well, Dalorna, you told me of this magic, but it is still amazing. I have a flint & steel and candle, which your turnip can use to start a fire. That is, if your turnip can carry flint & steel and a candle and ‘walk’ all at the same time. Will your turnip know when to start the fires? It will help if the turnip could wait until we are in position before starting the distraction.”

''The undead turnip will need directions from me. I'll hide in the bushes and tell it where to go and what to do. This I can do silently, never fear. To keep things simple, we'll just give it a burning candle. That shouldn't be too noticeable in full daylight and so low to the ground, carried by something so small. I'll have the turnip set alight some piles of dry leaves or low hanging bushes at one end of the village. Unless anyone has some tindertwigs, smokesticks, or oil- I'd say this is about as good a plan as I can come up with on short notice. Shall we begin?''

"I don't have any tindertwigs, smokesticks, or oil. Does anyone else have?"

Dalorna picks a hiding spot near the monkey-man village, and then sends her candle-wielding turnip in to start some fires. Her raven acts as a spotter.

The Professor says in a nervous muffled voice, "Looks like the mischievous little dietary staple did his part."

Concealed in some bushes, Dalorna smiles but doesn't speak. She concentrates on the empathic 'hotter, colder '' feed from her familiar. She will continue to mentally command the zombie-turnip to move about under concealment and light more small fires.

Arnulf follows the others then finds a spot close enough to the village. He readies his sling with a stone in it and waits for the fun to begin.

Sara waits till she sees some small fires, smoke and hear the monkey-men shrieks. Then moves as stealthy as she can towards the village. Once closer she hides again behind the trees so she can see the children and keeps scanning the area in order to get the best opportunity to sneak in and save them.

Isidar follows the others. On the way to the monkey-men’s village Isidar hands Ovina’s reigns to the professor, whispering, “Don’t drop the reigns this time. Stay with Ovina and she will protect you.” …When the group starts to hide, Isidar also takes cover behind some trees while gripping her shield and warhammer tightly.

Alia selects a hiding spot not far from Arnulf, and readies her crossbow, looking for a target

As the party is waiting in anticipation for the forest goblins to come towards their hiding spots .

Sara goes in to try to free the children on seeing that they seem to be unguarded .

Walking as silent as she can and always looking around Sara goes closer to the children and whispers.

"I'm a friend. My name is Sara and I'm here to save you. When I get you free please be as quiet as possible and try to reach the forest. If you do that I promise I will give you a gift. Don't shout, just stay close to me and move as silent as you can. But id I tell you to run do it as fast as you can. In forest there are my friends, they will help you."
