Landing Zone - Northern Gateway

Mod Post - This is the Meeting Area for the Northern Gateway, those who requested for this particular landing zone in the An Ominous Shadow topic please post here.

The Fortress itself was silent but the ground beneath was not. Every so often a gate would open and disgorge another helping of the Undead to the battle beneath. Some were borne aloft on the wings of skeletal Condors, others just accepted the fall, slamming into the dirt before rising on broken limbs or crawling along the ground hissing in an echo of agony that they could no longer hear. Fire and lightning and wind sputtered along the ground, ruining trees and scorching the undead where they stood. Here and there were worse creatures, massive golems made of sharp bone and rotting meat, robed figures that cast out knives in the hundreds or unleashed bolts of flashing corpselight. It was hard fought but it was not the focus...

Several clearings had been opened up, eight to be exact, not quite equally apart from one another, ready to send teams up to the Fortress above to stop the constant onslaught, there had been barely a break for the past twelve hours, medics were on their last legs trying to keep casualties to a minimum and the longer it went on, the worse it got for the people on the ground. It was up to several groups of genin to fight against the remaining undead threat in the Fortress to save their comrades...

The northern gate was coated in images of writhing shadow, monstrous forms barely seen within the flickering depths. If one looked away and looked back, they could swear the waves of shadow had changed positions. This doorway leaked dread and anyone looking at it was known to shiver at the thought of stepping through the massive door.
