Foxy sets off due west from Beith's Watch, the four horsemen riding at an easy pace, the speed set by Foxy's sturdy warhorse and easily maintained by her fleeter companions. It is early afternoon, about four miles) when they see the ruins of the city appear on the horizon to the northwest. Continuing her course, the group passes by the city as the afternoon progresses, keeping it a suitable distance off to their right. The ride is uneventful - the rolling grasslands continuing ahead and to the north, undulating hills near at hand to the south, the mountains further off and forming the southern horizon. It is early evening, the city now squarely oriented behind the group to the northeast, when Foxy comes upon a cobbled road. It winds across the grasslands, northeast to the city and southwest into the hills, surviving the ravages of time quite well. As her group approaches, slowing their pace to more closely observe surroundings, that they are ambushed.
A pack of ravenous ghouls, hidden in the grasses springs forth, catching the four riders utterly by surprise. They are utterly savage, attempting to tear down both horse and rider. Foxy and Renvell manage to fight off four of them, but the other four ghouls are able to overpower both Tocen and Sephanne and their steeds, all of them taking severe wounds from the teeth and claws of the horrid undead. Foxy fears the worst, knowing the paralytic powers of the ghoul's attacks, but her companions seem to fair well - Tocen and Sephanne are both severely wounded but not overcome - Tocen remains mounted, his horse likewise wounded but mobile. Sephanne rolls free of her horse which screams in terror as its limbs lock and it collapses under their claws and fangs, paralyzed.
