"Is this zombie guarding this area?" Koula carefully circled around the nearly headless corpse on the ground, "I've heard that zombies can still follow simple instructions, it looks like a patrolling guard."
"I'm afraid not, zombies can only understand commands like stay here, move forward, attack a certain enemy, they can't comprehend whether their surroundings are dangerous or not, like if their target is on the other side of a cliff, so it's unlikely they could follow orders to patrol within such a complex tunnel system," Kalalin shook his head, "I guess this is another zombie that has broken free from the spellcaster's control, acting on some kind of instinct."
"How far are we from that corpse sinking room?" Lancelot asked the gnoll guide behind him.
"Still about half a candle's time!"
