Fortunately these are not the modern kind and cannot infect people or sprint.
This is somehow the first time I've noticed that Artur breaks the rules to kill that Evil Eye.
With Ross, Garcia, and Neimi remaining behind to assist the former victims of the Borgo bandits by Eirika's request, and Seth and Vanessa searching for a way out of this cursed forest, it falls to the rest of our valiant warriors to repel the undead fiends.
Colm and Gilliam fail to delete the nearest revenant, but Franz fares much better against the one close to what will soon be a makeshift bridge. Eirika waits in a hedge near the village. Artur retreats and Moulder stands next to Gilliam and Colm.
Eirika can actually double revenants with the steel sword given their zero speed. Eirika, Colm, and Franz counterkill, Colm is healed, Eirika terminates an Evil Eye, Franz goes and sits on the bridge, where he counterkills a few things and obtains a level that makes up for the last two.
Eirika helps Gilliam with the tree snag, Franz goes to a bush and heals to wait for more counters. Artur, Colm, and Moulder wait. Incredibly Franz misses two 92% hit chances and thus accomplishes little.
Gilliam crushes a bonewalker, Eirika runs for Lute's village while Colm takes the top. Murder death dismemberment, Colm heads off the reinforcements and Franz is charging for the boss.
Franz gets the bosskill, Eirika recruits Lute, Colm kills the reinforcements over a couple of rounds. Contemplated stealing a vulnerary but I have plenty from undrafted recruits and it would cost a turn.
7 turns, 31 total.
Apologies if I am not being interesting and/or detailed enough, I will try to think of something to spice it up.
