Ouch.
Unfortunately, the horse laughs at The Embalmer's measly attempts to swing a chair at it as the chair bounces right off its leg.
Uh, well.
The Embalmer looks up at the horse, looks back at his human, politely takes a step back, picks his human up again, and books it the ******** out of here with the human in his arms. Time for a backup plan from the Joseph Joestar School of Survival!
The Embalmer hauls a** until he stops in front of a car, spotting keys conveniently stuck in the ignition. It's probably a little small for them both even in spite of how roomy it is, but he obviously wasn't escaping this thing on foot with ease and it was only gaining on him. He stuffs his large human into the passenger seat before climbing in himself, starting the car and slamming on the gas pedal to get the hell out of Dodge before this thing decides it wants to mock him some more for thinking a chair would be enough to stop it.
To add insult to injury, as The Embalmer is keeping his eyes on the road, the human next to him stirs. Now, ordinarily, The Embalmer wouldn't find this much of a problem -- he didn't have much of a 'true form' to worry about, so the human would likely see the Reaper as one of his own kind, and maybe he can explain that he's trying to help.
Not so.
"Hey, buddy, I don't know where you're going but I'd like to get off," the old man says, placing a big hand on the wheel and trying to wrest it out of The Embalmer's grip.
The Embalmer growls angrily at the man as he tries to take the wheel back, swerving the car along the highway as the portal looms into view. It's not much farther, now, and if he can keep this idiot distracted long enough to just throw him in there, broken hips be damned, he can consider him saved and he can go back to wrestling instead of trying to pass his academy courses like he's supposed to.
By the time he punches the old man out and drags him out of the car by his hair, the portal is nowhere to be found.
The Embalmer exhales an agitated sigh as he knees the man in the face for good measure and drops him on the ground. This is just great.
He can have someone yell at him for that later,
if he makes it back to Halloweentown.
