You take a deep breath, enjoying the calming silence and fresh forest air.
“T-t-traaaiiiitooooooor!”
You freeze in place like a rabbit in danger when you hear the moaning voice. Reluctantly, you force yourself to turn around and immediately wish you had run. The sight of the dead dwarf slowly rising to his feet is staggering. Wavering from left to right and back, he fixes his accusing eyes on you, slowly lifting his axe.
“T-t-traaaiiiitooooooor!”
“T-they would have killed me!”
“I … will kill you … traaaiiiitooooooor!”
You take a few steps back as the dwarven zombie stumbles toward you.
“Must eeeaaaat braaaaiiiiinnns!”
