Kinaktok continues to struggle south, knowing full well that he was still being trailed by the living remains. His mind was racing so quickly, he still managed to realize that his chances for survival would be much better should he do his best to join up with the survivors of the last skirmish. Not wanting to be killed, Kinaktok still moved south, as fast as he could, minding his pain as it came along.
Spoiler:
Sorry guys. Just been a bit busy is all. I will most likely be around though!

ooc - Kinaktok. Please make a DEX x5 check (80%) and a Spot hidden check (60%)

ooc - Thorin and Unulaq are going around the zombie horde. They will be safe but it will be 2-4 rounds before they reach Kinaktok depending on how Kinaktok fairs.

OOC- OK! I think I lost Kinaktok. So I'll take it from here.

ooc- Pass DEX x5 and failed spot hidden check. roll : http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3090111/

With his wounds, Kinaktok still manages to keep ahead of the lumbering Viking zombies but not by much. Every time the undead seem to be gaining on the Dorset strategist, Kinaktok finds some reserve energy and forces himself forward ahead of the creatures.

Meanwhile.. Unulaq and Thorrin race across the snowy plains looking for an end to the horde. The zombies don’t seem to be bothered by the pair as long as they keep there distance.

Unalaq was glad they didn't have to deal with more of the zombies... but he wondered if it was because they simply weren't being seen by the zombies, or if there were some other driving force. With a shrug, he continued to push on looking for the end of the gory parade.

Unulaq spots two figures in the distance through the falling snow. One is female and he swears it is the Dorset tribe's Shaman Yuralria. She is dancing provocatively atop a mighty drift of snow. Another figure is charging towards the undead hoard amassing around Unulaq with a gleaming metal sword in hand.

Then as if to distract him from the confusion swirling about him, Unulaq hears a soft pushing sound as if the air had been suddenly drawn from a seal skin pouch. The snow seems to dance at their feet as it slides slowly north along the surface of the plains. The air is then suddenly stilled, casting a suspicious silence. A strange humming begins to rise as the northern lights stretch quickly across the sky like an ethereal ribbon floating in the long dark silky hair of the goddess. The greens and whites of the aurora borealis flash and blink their understanding with amazing purpose and wondrous insight. All can’t help but stare and understand as force filled waves of blinding clarity wash over all who bare witness to the lights.

A mountain then appears in the sky, made from the fiery green ribbons the sky dwellers craft like carvings in bone. It is Sivanitirutinguak. A river flows from the sea and into its base, an unnatural force to be certain. It was as though the gods themselves were pushing the water from the shores of Qikiqtaaluk or pulling the river from the root of the Sivanitirutinguak.

A longing passes over Unualq as if his mother were calling them home to the mountain. A home long forgotten but as warm and familiar as any hut they had ever laid their skins and a mother perhaps not forgotten but surely missed. He looks to his left and sees that Thorrin is staring up at the sky as well with a similar look on his Viking face.

Then the snow begins to rise in the north for miles around them. The snow lifts from the ground in much the same manner as it had fallen in large sullen flakes… The image of Sivanitirutinguak is soon covered by a blanket of thick drifting snow that seems to be picking up a speed as it floats effortlessly north. And then with a sudden flash of green and white, the drifting snow thunders towards them. The line of undead monstrosities fall to the snow in cascading mounds of rotting flesh. Each viking zombie returns to the death from which it had been torn away.

The snow thickens and washes over everything in its path until there is nothing but blackness and cold visions of starless skies.

Everyone please make a 1d100 Sanity roll and post your roll here. I will check to see if you pass or fail as there are penalties associated with the vision you just experienced.

Then Proceed to Chapter 6 when it is ready.

Unalaq attributes what he sees to the powers of the Shaman, respectfully... and doesn't overthink it.
