Sorry, giant undead in this case means large zombies e.g. dragons and pterosaurs no actual “giants”
I will change that to be more clear, their Unlife bestiary with them.
They didn’t the giant undead with them?

“They do not attack; they are all just crowding together behind a very fierce front line that surrounds them.” Talarius observed. “[color=red]They have crammed all their giant undead into the area as well[/color], the flying ones in the air above them. Is this some sort of bizarre last stand?”
[/quote]He could have given the SL time to prep, his talk with Ramses was about doing it as a surprise/escape for him and Ramses without warning the SL.
This is what I need to clear up with the discussion between Ramses and Exador about the AS.
The problem is, I don’t want to give it away too soon.
When the SL’s say time for Plan E, they do mean a previously defined plan, E for Escape, or it E(xit) or I could make it Plan X for eXit.
Actually that might be good. Perhaps I can have Exador remind him of the preparatory spells.
What if a ghoul isn’t really “cured” when it enters the abyss, it may simply stop needing animus to sustain itself while there since animus and antimus are functionally identical in the abyss, or since mortals don’t need sustenance in the Abyss.
The harmful effects on the Unlife don’t have to be due to the animus/antimus problems, instead it could simply be due to the literal fiery heat of the abyss. Exador could perhaps have prepared an Abyssal swap that would land the Unlife in the middle of a lake of lava, or conversely summoned a lake of lava above the Unlife.
For the escape plan(Plan E), Exador could transport them inside an area with pre-prepared cooling spells in place, or perhaps the wards the SL were drawing were to keep the hot air out of their swapped Nysegardian “real-estate”.

That’s basically what I’m thinking. If he was going to toast them as a defensive measure, he wouldn’t tell them first and go somewhere nasty.
The air is the big problem for them, my assumption is that Plan E involves liches doing massive cooling spells, which they can easily do. I point out the Ice Dragons are NOT going to like the Abyss, so they have to do something like that.
Given cooling, I think that ghouls, vampires, vampyrs and dhampyrs will all be fine. As will liches. Skeletons are mainly just animated by magic, and a bit of antimus/antimus, so will be fine.
[color=blue]It’s really the zombies that will be the most problematic. Do they suddenly become correctly resurrected, but due to decay are horribly wounded? Would they regenerate in the Abyss and end up as living people?[/color]
