Ramirez beheads him. Samurai Master style, the cut doesn't make his head fall off, and Grevane is so crazy at this point that he tries to continue to fight because he believes death can't touch him.
Turn out believe isn't everything in the Dresdenverse.

ROFL! I thought he just severed the flesh, not the severed the whole neck?

--- Quote from: Anubissama on July 07, 2017, 05:28:19 PM ---- It is also odd that an experienced Wizard like Kemmler would leave blood and skin on his bonds when escaping, a quick fire spell to burn the ropes was too much of a hassle? Feels like an obvious trap.

Well, we didn't see what happened next. ;)
I think Dodge City was already a trap to catch a Warden. Kemmler was expecting one, though he said not until a week later or so.
Another interesting thing was that Luccio said the zombies weren't very high quality. This indicates that Grevane was still new in the business of Necromancy. Or that the group felt confident enough to use the incident as a training experience for one of the new recruits.

--- Quote from: Anubissama on July 07, 2017, 05:28:19 PM ---- It honestly feels a bit unrealistic that a vanilla sheriff can shoot down a 40+ sized horde of the Undead, especially with Wild West era weapons, those things weren't known for range and precision. Did they had even rifling back then?
--- End quote ---
Accoding to wikipedia they did. Might not be common though.

peregrine:
They had rifling in the 1700s. I can't think of any Wild West era guns that weren't rifled. Except for shotguns, of course. Handguns especially were rifled because it's easier to do on a shorter barrel.
