==Transcript==
===Introduction===
"Get ready," you say.
You raise your weapon as yet more humanoid shapes shuffle towards you, prepared to destroy another wave of zombies as you did those before. Then a larger form looms from the darkness behind them...
"They raised an ogre!" someone shouts.
But as the hulking creature lumbers forward, a narrow beam of moonlight pierces the grey clouds. The undead body painted by that argentine shaft isn't an ogre's -- though it's as big as one of those creatures. Its proportions are misshapen, grotesque. The huge muscles slathered across its twisted frame are distorted and displaced, as if some corruption grew them like melons within the thing's corpse.
The brutish zombie roars like a dying bear, brandishes a cleaver that looks as wide as your chest. Then it charges, knocking the other zombies aside.
"Mine," Rakshara says, as she steps forward to meet it.
===Conclusion===
It's like watching two mountains collide. The massive zombie's muscular monstrosity of a body crashes down at the oroc's lithe frame -- which seems almost petite in comparison. But for all their differences in volume, Rakshara may well have the advantage in mass.
Her feet dig into the path and plough furrows in the dirt. Yet she holds her ground, as you've seen her hold it against foe after foe. Her crystal shield wards off the chopping cleaver and braces against the immense avalanche of undead thews.
"You're not my equal," she says. She sounds almost disappointed.
Her sword plunges into the underside of the zombie's jaw, piercing his brain and ending his twisted existence.
