The bell tolling startles Lui, who freezes in places. It wasn't time for a bell to be tolling, and the noises combined with Aelih's statement weren't making things much better for Lui.

Then came the skeleton, Lui lets out a startled screech, but Aelih quickly deals with it. Lui however isn't really put at ease with the thorough destruction of the skeleton Aelih caused, and decides to cast a spell to set it on fire as well, just in case.

As Aelih suggests leaving, Lui nods. "That sounds like a brilliant plan." She says, following Aelih. "Should we go look for Dani?"

As the skeletons keep pouring into the town through the East Gate and Wall, more and more people are forced to flee. While the fastest of the horde easily get picked off by the few who are brave enough to defend the town, the main horde is slowly but surely advancing deeper into the town, accompanied by the massive beast. Soon they are within sight of the church as the beast prepares to attack the church, which will likely level it in the process.

The skeletons themselves meanwhile stay out of the way of the beast, not directly approaching the church but instead moving to attempt to encircle it. Simultaneously, the main horde makes it to the Library and begins it's approach to the North Gate.

At the North Gate itself though, people are starting to realise that the North Gate isn't going to open, and start to turn away to flee to the West Gate instead when their attention is caught by a loud noise. Moments later, something heavy seems to collide with the door as it is forced open. However, the impact seemed to be too much for the door, as it's hinges shatter and the doors collapse, crushing some unfortunate civilians. The North Gate has also been breached, as undead have used some sort of siege weapon to force open the gate. This time accompanied by what appear to be a group of people capable of casting spells, the undead now also begin their assault from the North, charing straight into the mass of defenseless civilians that haven't yet managed to escape.

Near the port, things aren't looking much better, as hideous, bipedal frog-like creatures emerge from the river, boarding ships to prevent people from fleeing via the river. They seize any defensive weapons the ships could potentially have and use them to attack the town, firing ballistae at any civilians they can spot. Until they run out of bolts that is, at which point they torch the ships and head into the town itself.
