Darion went to the graveyard wall first.
The bats roosted in the same gaps they always had. In the crumbled mortar between the old stones and the dark recesses where the wall had separated enough to create shelter.
He summoned one undead knight and pointed at the wall.
"Go catch one bat and bring it here," he said. "Walk almost silently, grab it and hold it. Don't crush it."
The undead moved to the wall slowly, which was the right instinct because fast movement scattered the colony and it had been commanded to walk slowly.
It reached into the nearest gap with one hand, felt around for a moment, and closed its fingers around something that immediately started making noise.
The rest of the colony exploded outward from the wall in a flurry of wings, filling the air above the graveyard for a few seconds before dispersing into the sky.
The undead stood with one bat in its grip.
