Brude viciously swipes at one of the cultists.
(dice clatter - Natural 12!!)
Brude's anger fuels his blade, and he manages to cut directly through the midsection of Cultist #2, and then his blade ends in Cultist #3 with a bloody wet sound. Cultist #3 takes 10 damage, and is barely standing up.
Dorin (I'm acting as Dorin because I don't want to wait any longer).
Dorin swings as Cultist #9.
(dice clatter)
His weapon smashes the head of one of the cultists down into his rib cage, and the cracking bones either sound like the sound of victory, or disgusting, depending on your point of view.
Rannveig's resolve holds and she swings, but misses her opponent.
Krag munches on some healing herbs and heals the rest of his damage. He charges and swings at one of the ugly cultists.
(dice clatter)
His swing goes wild, as he seemingly trips on the debris of an old corpse, and he misses.
Xanos strains his will and tries once again to unleash the arcane powers inside him.
(dice clatter).
The light seems to dim, slowly at first, but then more dramatically. Xanos falls to his knees under the weight of the spell. The corpses of the cultists start being dragged by some invisible force. Their body parts snapping and conjoining into four evil looking large forms of hideous mien. To look at them is to quail in fear, unless you are either stupid or resolved against such palpable evil.
While this is taking place, Xanos crumbles farther to the ground, still muttering arcane words whispered to the void.
The forms lurch towards the remaining cultists much faster than would be expected for things made up from the remains of the dead. One of them has insects and cockroaches falling out of the mouths of the corpse parts, while another has flies belching forth. One seems to be bleeding, while another leaves a trail of black vapor behind it, staining the ground black.
The demons clad in the flesh of the dead, make a quick work of the remaining cultists, seeming to suck their souls from their nostrils and mouths, while their clawed hands grasped firmly on the sides of their heads. Their screams sound like someone falling down an immeasurable distance, as if falling into a well without a bottom. It is very unsettling...
No one is left alive, except the Hillmen, and they flee on their horses in all directions. Anywhere is better than this accursed place in their mind.

Brude 3 out of 16 damage.
Dorin 13 out of 16 damage. (Reduce damage by 1 for Fighter)
Rannveig 9 out of 13 damage.

The corpse flesh demons turn what must be their faces towards Xanos, and slowly start to walk in his direction.
