Tai focused, and drew more white energy into his aura. He then drew his sword and shield, calling forth a battle savvy guard, to help protect him. "Steady...be steady..." Tai said to his troop.
"You four! Take those four!" Tai yelled, directing them towards the waker looking non-rat zombies. Then, before the balance of the undead can converge, Tai erected a shield of light aroound him and his men.
OOC2: Block the Dregscape Zombies with my Swiftblades, then after first strike damage is dealt, Holy Day.
Tai's aura flared green for an instant, followed by his aura extending to those who stood beside him who stood for purity and light. Once more, Tai motioned to the Swiftblades to intercept once more, this time, routing one from the Dregscape Zombies to the one giving the zombies their power and virulence. Once more, a flash of light repels the zombies after the soldiers' blades find purchase.
OOC: Play Forest, cast Honor of the Pure, block 3 Dregscape Zombies and the Death Baron, Holy Day after First Strike lands.
Seeing the key to the overwhelming force, Tai draws more pure mana to his aura. He then summons a small hawk, and places a mighty blessing on it. Yet once more, Ta ithen allows his Swiftblades to block the two reavers, then lets the cascade of light protect them once more. "I hope this works..." Tai muttered to himself, not liking his current predicament.
The trumpeters blast the slave drivers, repelling them momentarily. The Swiftblades, Votaries, even the guildmage all shored up the defenses against the vile rats.
Tai's aura flared a brilliant viridian, as he placed a blessing on the shining spirit. He then sent his hawk and the spirit to strike at the slavedrivers.
As the troop steps past the remains of the dead zombies, Tai feels tendrils of pain claw through his mind. As he turns, he sees the formerly-dead zombies gather together for one last attack...
Tai can't recognize the far-off group of zombies, but he can tell that it's about the same size as his party, maybe a bit smaller.

As the clash subsided, Tai called forth a pure spirit of light and justice, further empowering Tai's troops.
OOC2: EoT, summon a Celestial Crusader.
Tai's aura flared a brilliant viridian, as he placed a blessing on the shining spirit. He then sent his hawk and the spirit to strike at the slavedrivers.
