Street Ambush: Round 3

Marot continues his holy assault, and makes a clear shot over the shoulder of her Flamist companion. The silver blast sizzles the shoulder of the zombie's blue dress, but the wound is superficial. [AC 14 touch through cover to a target in melee hits, 6 damage]

The contents of Jarrith's stomach splash to the ground at his feet, as the burning from the new wound festers inside of him. Realizing he's in no condition to press the attack at the moment, he steps back into the alley to get out of harm's way, drops the rapier in his off-hand, pulls out the wand of Cat's Grace that is strapped to the forearm of his main hand, and calls out "Gracellus". The magic from within the wand engulfs him... and while it doesn't make him feel any better, he does regain a bit more speed and mobility.

Janis rolls her hands in a circular fashion before her chest, forming a whirling globe of acid which she quickly releases and watches as it speeds across the battlefield toward the remaining rat creature. However, a sudden step by Khensu throws off her aim, and the acidic blob goes wide, scaring the stone facade of a nearby building. [AC 8 touch through cover to a target in melee misses]

The elf ranger continues his assault on the undead; all three shots strike true. With the last, the dress wearing zombie emits a pitiful moan and collapses. [AC 20, 30, and 19 hit; 30 damage before DR]

Khensu continues to hack at the feral rat-creature. "Their touch is poison!" His two handed slash decapitates the creature and has enough momentum to tear into the crone zombie as well, his axe easily cutting the dead flesh. [AC 22 hits rat; 22 damage; AC 17 cleave hits zombie; 17 damage]

Selase awkwardly slides from the back of her frightened Nali, stepping a few feet away and toward Daellin, in case the horse completely panics. She pulls her dagger from its worked leather scabbard at her belt, and the ruby set into the pommel glimmers three times, almost like a pulse. Her frightened horse nickers and skitters into the mists.

The crone and wizened zombies once again try to crush the two Flamists, but their limbs cannot find purchase.

"Daellin - take out the cowering zombie!"

He steps to the right, blocking the zombies from moving towards the rest of the party. The shifter slashes at the closest zombie, hoping to bring it down before the remaining zombies get past him.

OOC: No zombies are currently fleeing. The child zombie has already fled, the magic-infused undead is stuck in the alley, and Salease has cowered another.

(I misread the legend. It's been corrected in the original post. Thanks!)

Daellin steps up, shifting his target to the rebuked zombie. (5' step to L8, another improved rapid shot at undead from point-blank range).

As he sees a number of the zombies drop, Jarrith feels like their luck is turning. He quickly drops his wand (Free Action) and picks up his other rapier from the ground (Move action), then takes a stab at the zombie that is just around the corner from him (Standard Action on K5: +7 to hit / both have cover to each other +4 AC).

"I think we have a pretty good idea what's happened to the town, wouldn't you say? Ugh... I feel like I'm on fire!"

Janis, mimicked all around by her duplicate images, crackles with barely withheld electrical energies and with a backhand flick of the wrist tosses an arc of electricity toward the zombie in front of her (K5)

Street Ambush: Round 4

The font of tainted-turned-holy power continues to flow from Marot, striking the crone zombie. The undead stumbles in its attacks, but even severely wounded, continues on. [AC 21 ranged touch through cover hits, 12 damage]

As he sees a number of the zombies drop, Jarrith feels like their luck is turning. He quickly drops his wand and moves to picks up his other rapier from the ground. The desiccated corpse tries to make use of the distraction, but fails. The Stalker tries to use the opening to his advantage, but a wave of nausea staggers him, making the thrust totally ineffectual. [Natural 1 misses]

"I think we have a pretty good idea what's happened to the town, wouldn't you say? Ugh... I feel like I'm on fire!"

Janis, mimicked all around by her duplicate images, crackles with barely withheld electrical energies and with a backhand flick of the wrist tosses an arc of electricity toward the distracted wizened zombie. Blue-white sparks light up the square, causing the animated corpses to spasm briefly.[10 damage]

"Daellin - take out the cowering zombie!"

Daellin steps up, shifting his target to the rebuked zombie. His hands a blur, the ranger fires another three shots. Two land, disorienting the foe. [AC 21 and 16 hit; 23 total damage before DR]

Sir Khensu steps to the right, blocking the zombies from moving towards the rest of the party. The shifter slashes at the crone undead, hoping to bring it down before the remaining zombies get past him. With a mighty chop, he lops of her distorted grandmotherly head and uses his momentum to also slash a gory blow on the wizened one. [AC 22 hits K6, 13 hp destroys it; AC 21 cleave hits K5, 10 hp]

Selase stands back, ready to provide assistance, but not wanting to distract the forward fighters.

The wizened zombie turns its hunger towards the paladin, a wrenching howl escaping its lips. The paladin, having overextended himself, cannot block the savage blow. Again, Khensu feels the brief filthy tingle as dead fingers tear his skin, but it quickly fades. [Khensu hit for 10 hp]

The other normal zombie and the magic-infused one remain cowering in awe and fear.

Daellin continues his attacks on the undead creatures, staying in the same spot as he fires another trio of arrows at the cowering zombie.

Edit: If the others manage to destory the zombies Daellin's got a clear shot at (or can take a 5' step to get a shot at), he'll take a single move and use manyshot to fire at the remaining one.

Sir Khensu (29/47 hp)

Khensu weaves between the two remaining zombies and brings his axe in a whirling arc, trying to slash through the active zombies' legs.

(OOC: Move K7, then J6 and attack the non-rebuked zombie. If able, cleave the rebuked one.))
