Dr. Si's Curse of the Crimson Throne - Seven Days to the Grave

Seeing the foes fairly well decimated, and the remaining ones blinded by his spell, Manachan decides to save the rest of his magical arsenal and moves into the room to confront a zombie directly. Fists fly, and one actually thuds into rotting flesh.

[sblock=Actions]Move into the room to just west of zombie 5 (in the corner) and attack.

--------------------
Silken hair the color of spun gold; eyes the dark blue of deep ocean but shot through with silver; skin the hue of milk with just a hint of chocolate. Manachan was a sensation among his much darker Varisian clan – plainly proof that their kapenia showed true and that their line was descended from divinity.

The Aingeali clan claims descent in direct line from Irori himself, though the claim has been disputed by many. The birth of Manachan, with his very unusual coloring, has been taken as proof by his parents and others of the clan. In many ways, the young man had a charmed childhood.

However, the pressure on him to live up to his ancestor’s divine example has been tremendous, and has led to great internal conflict between the wild ways of his nationality and the discipline espoused by his perfect ancestry. In an effort to resolve this conflict, Manachan left his clan at the age of 13 to enter a small monastery devoted to Irori. He has spent the last four years there, training relentlessly and learning that the path to perfection requires, for him at least, a balance between freedom and discipline, and carefully maintained contradiction between his clan’s nature and his ancestor’s teachings. Adding to his difficulties, about a year after entering the monastery his sorcerous abilities manifested. The instinctual nature of his magic disrupted even further the strict discipline required by the teachings of the monks.

Now 17 and finished with his studies at the monastery, Manachan has found that balance and been released into the world to continue his struggles toward perfection. A confident, outgoing young man with an easy humor and tremendous ability, he has found it fairly easy thus far to make his way.

Now at loose ends and with no instruction other than to find his own way to pursue his perfection, Manachan resolved to return to Korvosa – he had met a young scholar (Edmond) there on one of his errands for the monastery and they had struck a fast friendship. He was fascinated with the life of the sprawling city and decided that learning more of it would provide him some valuable lessons for his path.

Manachan dresses in dark, smoky oranges and forest greens, typically wearing a narrow kilt like wrap from the waist down and either going bare chested or donning a simple tunic – depending on weather and social requirements of his current location. He keeps his hair tied in a ponytail. Other than eyebrows his body is completely lacking secondary hair. He wears his bata strapped to his back, along with his crossbow. All of his other belongings he carries in a sack – to be dropped at a moment’s notice in case of a need to defend himself.

Edmond enters right behind Manachan ending next to him. With room enough to swing Deathwail properly, he cleaves into farthest zombie, leaving closer enemies to Mhairi and Ignatius.

EDIT: I really need keen enchantment or some other increased crit range, I'm rolling really well In 3.5 there was a property which increased cost of the weapon, but it increased non-magically weapons crit (it was serrated or something like that)

Manachan moves in and punches the only zombie left unblinded. Edmond steps up beside him and practically bisects the further zombie, which explodes in a burst of filth and rotten flesh. The last skeleton staggers in Edmond's direction, flailing its claws. It almost manages to hit him, but Edmond neatly cleaves its head off with Deathwail and the bones clatter to the floor.

[sblock=OOC]

Edmond's attack is enough to destroy Z8. The death throe burst only affects adjacent squares.

Skeleton 4 moves to attack Edmond, provoking an AoO. I took the liberty of rolling it - hit for 12 damage, destroying Skeleton 4.
[/sblock]

Mhairi

Seeing the devastation of heavy weaponry and offensive magic Mhairi hesitates. There isn't really much I can add here...they didn't need me to come save them after all. Stupid girl...what are you doing here?!

OOC: Lost track a bit over the crash, but I think it's Manachan up next, and there's just one zombie left standing.

After seeing the destroyed Zombies explode, Manachan backs off. "Erm, Edmond, you want to take care of this last one? Seems like keeping them at range is a good idea . . ."

@Axel, you can contribute damage, these are enemies that fall from stronger breeze as Manachans hand waving shows

Click to expand...

Short answer yes, in theory. Long answer: With p/s damage reduction, the inability to sneak attack and Mhairi's lack of strength bonus she'll be effectively doing 0-1 points of damage. Undead are every Rogue's worst nightmare.

Don't forget that sneak attack is more useful against some undead under Pathfinder rules. Don't recall off-hand if zombies and skeletons count, though...
