The two aberrations decided to keep their attention on Leifr, one aiming to attack his horse as another attempted to attack him, the creatures hissing and growling as they quickly aimed to slash and sink their nasty claws into both Leifr and steed. The first one missed, Leifr's shield being an incredible aid as thanks to it, he was barely able to avoid getting struck by those horrid, sharp claws on the beasts, the same sharp claws that had ripped Vialesa apart not too long ago, the female warrior probably dead by now if she had been bleeding out before, not that Leifr could tell the difference at the moment. The second aberration though seemed to trip and fall to the ground as it missed its swipe by a mile. While Leifr, who was atop a horse, couldn't reach for a quick and instant strike to take advantage of the opening, since he was atop a horse, his horse certainly could, aiming to stomp the creature that had attacked it out of existence either out of its war training, or just out of fear. Either way, the horse was trying to stomp it dead, which would be good enough if it succeeded. And it did. The powerful hoof of Leifr's horse came down right on the monster's torso, a sickening crack and crunch as blood lopped from the creature's mouth could be heard as the horse stomped the creature, the creature definitely not moving anymore. This left just one more creature and the Ugling Sorcerer who aimed his staff at Vialesa's corpse, the middle skull glowing now. Chittering some dark, foul words in its guttural tongue, the markings on the middle skull hanging from his staff began to glow as Lyrisa would sense a horrid, abysmal power seeping from the skull and into Vialesa's unmoving corpse. The others couldn't see what the Ugling did, but they could tell he might have done something. The next thing that happened though definitely confirmed these suspicions as the creature began to run away pretty quickly, Uglings always having been quite quick on their feet. Vialesa's body suddenly began to slowly stand up, as if a marionette on strings, her joints cracking a bit as her sword was still clutched in her hand. Her eyes now gazed at the mysterious figure, her eyes filled with no life. A groan escaped from the corpse's mouth, its wounds that were red with her own blood now looking blackish and twisted, much like the wounds of the creatures. Unlike those creatures though, she seemed to still have combative skills as she suddenly moved forward, strange looking saber in hand as she attempted to cleave the group's newest ally in two. The blade struck true, the cloaked figure cringing out in pain, but most of it seemed to be stopped by something, probably armor that the figure had on beneath that cloak of his. He seemed to visibly react to something though, not really the cut of the blade, but more like the blade itself as he quickly moved backwards. "That blade..." He muttered this before turning his attention to the others. "This is no longer your ally, and that blade of hers is more deadly than it looks, be careful not to let it touch you!" He wanted to shoot the Ugling that was escaping, but knew that there wasn't really time for that. The nice trail of blood and his footprints as he struggled to get away in a hurry with his weakened state was more than enough to convince the figure that they needed to take care of these two abominations first. So he aimed his crossbow towards Vialesa, who managed to strike again in the moment it took him to aim the weapon. Luckily the risen corpse's aim was much more off this time, the figure easily dodging the blade as, with the momentum of his dodge, he got into perfect position to fire a shot point blank at her. The bolt shot right into the corpse's chest, but it only reacted in pain with a groan as it buried itself deep where Vialesa's heart was, a blackish ichor leaking from the wound. "What sort of abomination did they make you into?" He muttered, fist clenched a little more tightly around the handle of his crossbow, which he quickly reloaded with the pull of a lever upon it.
