Day 11

It took slightly longer than anticipated to get to the castle. It was dark by the time we got there.
The main entrance was shut. We had a look around to see if there was another way in.
The little yellow guy and the twins shouted across to say that they had found a way in.
Somebody had left a ladder up.
The little yellow pirate ninja volunteered to go and investigate and see if he could open the main gate.
The little yellow pirate ninja said it looked abandoned. He couldn't see anyone.
He made his way over to the main entrance to lower the drawbridge.
He managed to lower the drawbridge. We gathered round to have a peek inside.
It definitely looked abandoned. There was a creepy vibe to it though.
We slowly went in.
We made our way toward what looked like the main building within the castle. It was covered in thick cobwebs. Couldn't see anyone about.
The others split up to search the castle grounds.
I was getting a bad vibe about this place.
With only the moonlight to guide us, we continued looking around.
We ran round to the other end of the castle grounds. We saw the two lifeless bodies of the older guys. Orange had a leg torn off and Yellow had his guts on the outside. That's not where they belong.
Something terrible happened here, but there was no sign of the evil that did this...
Who, or what, is in this castle?
We definitely had a bad feeling about this place. We decided we should leave.
We headed back toward the main entrance. It was blocked.
There was no escape now. We were in trouble.
It was Draclia! And he had a Crabman and a Killer Klown with him.
He told us he had been waiting for us. We told him that there was more of us now and that if we beat him once, we could beat him and his handful of zombies again.
Zombies! Loads of them. All the different types of zombie you could imagine.
It's almost as if Draclia had spent all of his time amassing loads of zombies since we last saw him.
There were hillbilly zombies, radio-active zombies, moon-zombies, police zombies. All sorts.
They were all zombies though. No sign of what the other surprises might be. Unless he expected us to be surprised by radio-active zombies.
There were a lot of zombies. Definitely more than last time. It got me to wondering what the collective noun for zombies might be. "Horde" would seem the obvious choice but I would imagine that if zombies were around during the Victorian era, they would have given it a quirkier name like "Shuffle".
A shuffle of zombies.
The zombies didn't appear to want to attack us immediately. Almost as if they were waiting further instruction. We made our way back to where Draclia was.
Draclia continued to summon additional monsters out of the castle and they came out like some sort of horror show fashion parade:
A zombie cheerleader, zombie businessman, a skellington and a Baron Samedi and his zombie bride...
...a zombie construction worker, zombie policeman, a creature from a lagoon, and a yeti...
...a zombie skellington, a horned voodoo demon, and an invisible man...
Draclia told us that The Fly was indeed here and that he had been working on his own Special Project with his fly assistant; which they were about to introduce...
...MegaFly!
A monstrous The Fly creature appeared from the castle building.
We were definitely in trouble. We didn't have a plan for this many monsters and zombies, and certainly not anything this big!
Before we could even try and save him, the Sergeant was sliced in two by the MegaFly!
It didn't take long for some of the zombies to shuffle over and start picking at Sergeant's body parts.
