The lightning struck true.
The golden sorcerer had been stunned from his impact with the castle wall, so when the bolt of lightning came his way, he had no time to respond properly. In a panic he opened up a portal to protect himself, but in his stupor he managed to clumsily place it behind himself. When the lightning struck him, he was thrown through the portal, simultaneously losing his grasp on the golden scepter he had been wielding. The portal then closed behind him, leaving only the cracked scepter where the evil man once was.
With all portals closed, the flow of zombies in this location was stopped, meaning that there would be peace once the remaining ones were slaughtered.

Psyko leapt over the castle walls, prepared to bear down on the gold sorcerer with the full weight of his warhammer. However, by the time he did so, the man was already gone.
Psyko crashed to the ground and looked around, finding no trace of the sorcerer. All that remained was the golden scepter. He hesitated before picking it up. As a user of many enchanted tools, Psyko was disappointed to find that it appeared to be just an ordinary scepter in his hands, with no detectable energy attached.
"What the hell?" he wondered aloud.

Her name was Alice. She was the most recent to inherit the longstanding title of 'archmage.' Her knowledge and ability was known far across the land, and her council of great wizards were renowned as heroes the world over.
As of today, she was the only one left. All of her cohorts had fallen in this war against the undead, leaving just herself to stand up to the onslaught in hopes of saving whatever trace of life remained in this ruined world. That trace of life - for now - manifested its self in the forms of Annie, Baba Koto, Psyko, Dariel, and a friendly Jaguar.
Now approaching the group as they stood mostly together in the field, she posed the simple question, "Who are all of you?"
