    Struck by Aupti's spell, the necromantic construct leaps forward in the direction of the flame. It is a haphazard collection of severed limbs, animated by a diffuse cloud of magic, and staggers around quickly but erratically; as if always on the verge of collapsing, but turning that collapse into a roll of forward motions. It leaves behind the torso and other miscellaneous bits of a fallen zombie.


    Connor's Thunderwave spell blasts the jumble of limbs backwards in a chaotic spray, but they rapidly bundle themselves together again and lunge for him. Or -- most of them do. The construct seems to be shedding limbs as they become too damaged to function, and has already half of its size. The limbs engulf Connor and snatch at him, slapping and kicking. They successfully strike him, but the floating hands fail to get a grip on his throat.

    As you stare in horror at the limbs, the rest of the zombie's remains begin to ooze forward independently. It is too shattered from the catapult to move like anything other than a slime or ooze, and creeps forward very... very... slowly...
