Cole could smell the undead long before he could even see them. And that was saying something of how intense the stench was, because he was not the only one who could. There was a small army gathered around him, roughly about 200, half of which were Aspirants, while the others were denizens of the fourth floor. They had gone on ahead to build a barricade that would stem the flow of the undead, or at least slow them down while sanctuary got it's defenses up.
