"Why ain't you dead!?" Aria yelped in surprise as the weakened vampire shoved her guard arm away in a furious attempt to restore himself with her life force. He reared his head back, about to take the fatal bite. But, unfortunately for him, two arrows from behind were planted in his back, causing him to finally topple over and bite the dust instead. With that over with, Aria got to her feet with her sword hung loosely in one hand. A thrall tried to swing for her from behind with an axe, but the dead Imperial was quickly flipped over her shoulder with his own clumsy momentum. And with one quick jab of the katana in his skull, the undead man burst into a pile of glowing ash, re-dead. Rejoining Cronic, the half-Akaviri sighed heavily as she joined the fight, "Vampires..." As if the fight on the ground wasn't bad enough, three thralls also reanimated up on the gate, aiming their bows down into the fight below. But with their zombie-like aim, they might actually be an advantage to the humans!
