Pathfinder Tales: “The Walkers from the Crypt” by Howard Andrew Jones
Howard Andrew Jones’ four-part story “The Walkers from the Crypt” has now been posted in its entirety at The Pathfinder Tales site at Paizo.com:
Elyana had no time to waste educating the young bard. There were but a few minutes left before the hounds would reach them.
She’d caught sight of the animals almost a half hour ago as she and her four companions fled across the grasslands of southern Galt. The seemingly inexhaustible hounds had slowly gained on their horses, and the party had finally picked out a rise from which to make a stand.
Vallyn gazed apprehensively out at the wedge-shaped formation of hounds sprinting forward through the high grass. “How can they keep running like that?”
“They’re dead,” Arcil said in his low, smooth voice. “They need neither breath nor rest.”
