Now, on Occupied Equestria: Silver is storming the Ministry building to find a changeling bomb. Posey is making her get away from unknown hostiles after an adventure in the city. Amber is trying desperately to flee the country. All of that, and more

Okay, Posey has two lvl 1 slots left. She could try defiling to get some back, but... I'm so embarrassed by that last post that I don't want to use the Dragon #315 table for the rest of the fight. Or the rest of the game, idk.
Posey has a Spectral Hand active, so she can make touch attacks at a range, although they have her out-powered with ranged attacks.

Thinking fast, Posey casts Hide From Undead (DC 15), and opens the door to the other room, stepping through.

Posey hears an answer from the far back
"He slumbers no more"

In the far back, Posey sees another equine form an elderly red earth pony stallion, standing over a pair of caskets, wearing a black cassock, a purple epitrachelion that is gilt on its sides, and a black mitre. He carries a very long silver staff with a gilded kolovrat on the top. His eyes are red, and very serious.

"Why have you come here?!"

This is doable, as the fire has just started, and there isn't much tender. There were not many, or very possibly any, books on the shelves. The worst is an article of clothing which must be pulled away from the shelf.

Okay, the difference between the vampire spawn and the thralls changes Posey's plans a bit. I was suspecting that they would either be ghouls or vampire spawn.
Rolling Religion to know what the general capabilities of "thralls" are, as opposed to true vampire spawn
[1d20+8 = (6+8) = 14]
And another roll for the Bloodbound
[1d20+

As for the fire situation, would it necessarily affect the cave beneath the lair? If the barn burns down, the cavern shouldn't be affected, except for smoke.
We could wait out the fire, but that might create opportunity for the EL to escape, although I doubt they'd leave knowing that we're still here. They also want the treasure, so they're bound to return.

Posey silently thinks that Leto must have been a dumbass lowbreed for not turning any of his undead thralls into proper spawn, but she doesn't say this aloud, being a dumbass lowbreed herself. She suspects that perhaps Leto was the more savage variant though, given records of his behavior.

"So it seems, but I will kill him before he ever steps hoof in here."

Thralls are mentioned in the EAW Dread League lore, but not vampire spawn. So... meh

>far
That statement was in reference to the incident that killed Leto "Plivy" Pannolovich twenty years before.

It's been approximately a minute, likely less, since Posey entered the cavern, with most of that time probably spent trying to put the fire out.

I'm going to roll Religion, to get a better understanding of these undead, as I have observed them in combat now. I expected them to hold off the ponies for longer, as the lowest level incorporeals are usually a death sentence to low level martials. It appears as though they don't have the full benefits of the incorporeal subtype, but are able to manipulate objects as though with the ghostly grasp feat.

Be advised that Posey does not have visibility in any direction for 170 feet. Posey can move from the cavern into the cellar, and then above the cellar is the barn. There are no ponies

The spirits nod, and move into the cellar, and try to move out

It appears that it is, and that furthermore, the wagon has been moved up against the door as it was before.

Of course any fire has been freshly set, so it's hardly a raging inferno.

Doable, most certainly, but be advised:

The wagon itself has been set on fire, and unlike the bookshelves, the wood in the wagon is dry and receptive. It has already lit up like a candle. The thralls will likely take some damage

How heavy is the wagon?
Posey can push a maximum load of 3450 pounds across the ground, which should double to 69000 pounds if wheels count as a favorable condition.

I guess this is as good a time as any to ask how unicorn telekinesis works when it comes to lifting and pushing.

Since Posey is at full HP, she'd be willing to risk burning herself for a couple rounds.

Posey's telekinesis, and telekinesis in general, is substantially weaker than her physical strength. She could likely push it in such a way, though she'd be physically close to it, and would proceed slowly.

She only needs to push it one square to get around it.
Posey spends a round pushing while she horn-gestures for the others to catch up.

What do the spirits engage within this time?
