To Catch a Crimelord, or Down the Rabbit Hole (garyh judging)

[sblock=BUmp]
After lunch if Tinwe hasn't gone, he'll twin strike the big zombie. If Raiyek hasn't updated, he'll just charge, then AP[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]Oops, forgot that charges ended your turn.

Editing original post with new actions, they'll be there soon.

New actions edited into original post. Basically changed HQ to a move action to get next to the big zombie before the attacks, the rest is the same.[/sblock]

The overgrown zombie's fist smashes into Raiyek's shield as it storms by, and the paladin notices that all of his allies also avoided the zombie's blows. "Hah! You'll have to do better than that!" He charges after the undead and slashes his sword across its legs, but there isn't enough power behing the blow and it merely scratches the monster's thick hide.

Looking at Kruk and his bleeding wounds, Raiyek quickly murmurs a prayer. "Palladys, help him."

Turning his attention back to the large zombie, Raiyek spots an area where its hide seems thinner. "Palladys' strength!" he calls, bathing his sword in holy light and plunging it into the weak spot.
[sblock=OOC]New set of actions, keeping as much the same as possible.

Kruk staggers from the repeated blows from the zombies, but the bleeding soon stops. Kruk takes a few deep breaths, then sidesteps in order to counter the zombies' advantageous position. He then attacks the already bloodied zombie to his south. His axe strikes true with a sickening thud, and the 'dwarf' falls over.

[sblock=Kruk]
You were hit by 2 ongoing 5 damage, but I don't believe they stack. You made the save on Raiyek's turn so only 1 left.
save (1d20=18), which you save at end of your turn.[/sblock]


After Kruk gets out of the way, Georg slams his staff into the floor sending a wave of thunder into the remaining zombie. Back foul spawn! He tosses it back and then moves to aid his fellows against the behemoth. The enemy slams into the cavern wall and cracks his skull open.

The nimble halfling dart past her companions, and past the golem, to get into a flanking position where she again stabs at what she thinks would be a vital spot on the horrid beast. The golem again strikes out at the small foe, but Carolina ducks under it and the creature punches the wall, again.
Lily's eyes about jumped out of her head at the sight of the huge monstrosity barreling toward her. Eep! Big Zombie!

She called to Lith to come to her and ducked back out of stitched together dwarven giant's range. Pressing herself up against the wall she leveled the skull at the thing, and a host of tiny spirits poured from the sockets and jaw swarming around and through the undead behemoth. Whether because they where of this place, or because of their target, the conjured spirits seemed to filled with a great fury.

Grim slashes twice at the golem both swords flashing and slicing off parts of the beast.

[sblock=Grim]
vs ac; dmg (1d20 9=29, 1d20 8=26, 1d10 2=11, 1d12 1=5, 1d6=5) jeez... I need to roll for you more often.
crit (1d6=3)
Hits both times for 26
save (1d20=1) still bleeding though
[/sblock]

The smaller zombie moves forward and bites and slashes at Raiyek. The bite continues to bleed and the slash gets through the warrior's plate, with a glancing blow.

The blades around Georg strike into the monster as it attacks his friends. The wizard seems dwarfed by the mighty creature, but he moves slightly to the side to be next to Lilith before chanting a spell. He tosses a burst of fire, his shimmering robes protecting his action and the wall of the cave next to the creature blossoming out to hit it and miss Georg's allies.

[sblock=OOC] renau1g missed my move, but he knows about it now.
Move: Shift to J23
Standard: Scorching Burst at K20 should only hit the monster 1d20+6=11 (vs Reflex) for 1d6+5=11, hmmm, wonder if it's Ref is below 12? No combat advantage on ranged attacks huh?
[/sblock]

Kruk, now that any immediate threats are gone, runs to Raiyek's aide, taking hack at the zombie to the elf's north. He swings, but hits nothing but air. Kruk screams in frustration. "Well now, how could I miss that!"

Carolina steps in time with the golem, still working her dagger into its vital spots.

[sblock=Carolina]
You're dazed so no move + attack, but you have CA anyways thanks to Lily's attack last turn so you hit it with your sneak attack anyways[/sblock]

Raiyek fends off another blow with his shield, but this time his allies aren't so fortunate. "Grim! Palladys, heal him!" the paladin shouts as he touches the bugbear briefly, infusing him with some of his own strength.

Turning back to the stitched-together monstrosity beside him, Raiyek calls a challenge and bathes his blade with holy light again, attempting to burn the zombie with Palladys' radiance.
[sblock=OOC]First, a question. Do we know if the big zombie is vulnerable to radiant?

My resist all 1 would make it 4 damage from the zombie, and I take 4 damage from the ongoing at the start of my turn and am bloodied.

Minor: Lay on Hands on Grim. Raiyek burns a surge, Grim heals 8 hp.

Move: Divine Challenge the big zombie. Marked and 5 radiant on first attack that doesn't include me as a target.

Standard: Holy Strike vs. big zombie: 1d20+8+2=17 vs. AC, 1d10+7=9 radiant damage. Miss.
Elven Accuracy reroll on Holy Strike (1d20+8+2=19). Not much better, but could be a hit.

Save vs. ongoing (1d20=12), success.[/sblock]

Click to expand...

[sblock=renau1g]Ack... sorry about that. I saw it in the stats, but I guess it didn't stick with me because the attack wasn't in the narrative (or I'm just blind, which is a grand possibility).

Anyway, save: 1d20=20

Figures....[/sblock]
