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

Ambrus · Apr 5, 2011

The double doors to the manor suddenly explode open; propelled by a violent gust of wind which ruffles the hair and loose clothing of those waiting outside. Carried out upon the wind, the panicked urchin tumbles end over end through the air before crashing into Edmond's chest. "T-t-tha dancin dead! They're coming!" Through the open doorway, six masked party-goers dressed in finery shamble across a blood-stained dance floor towards the group.

Manachan pauses for a moment as the lad comes barreling out the door. Quickly recovering his poise, he raises his hand in benediction and calls on Irori to lend his friends guidance and courage.

Knowing that he needs to get closer Brindom cautiously steps forward into the abode. He brings forth his holy symbol and unleashes a wave of positive energy upon most of the dancing dead.

Brindom calls upon the power of Erastil to blast the undead, and their decaying flesh is stripped away by the surge of energy. All of them continue to stagger forwards, however, although most seem to be in a bad state.

[sblock=OOC]
Brindom channel energy 3d6=11, Will save DC 14

Zombies #1 and #6 make their save, the others fail, but none are down.

Gritting his teeth the urchin wipes a tear from his face with a sleeve, half-turns in Edmond's arms and holds out a hand towards the shambling horde of undead. In response the air around the party grows cold as motes of frost begin to swirl around them.

OOC: Readying an action to unleash a blast of frigid air upon the zombies once they shuffle into range. Aiming to strike at least four of their number, possibly more if feasible (15-ft cone or 30-ft line of cold; 3d6 damage; Ref DC 17 half)

Neurotic · Apr 8, 2011

Edmond puts diminutive friend behind him and advances toward the undead menace with hate filled eyes.

Deathwail makes deadly arc toward the right zombie.

Move to within 10' of the zombie. Attack (forgot +1 from bless)
Melee attack vs zombie 2 (1d20+10=17, 2d4 +6=10)

Dr Simon · Apr 11, 2011

The zombie collapses under the force of Edmond's attack, but the others continue to shuffle forwards.

[sblock=OOC]
Majenko to act next, then I'll adjudicate Dj'hân's attack.

Ambrus · Apr 11, 2011

OOC: But Dj'hân's action is ahead of both Edmond and Majenko...

Dr Simon · Apr 11, 2011

Several of the zombies become coated with frost from Dj'hân's blast of frigid air. Theyir movements seize and they topple forwards. Several fragments of frozen flesh shatter on the tiled floor.

[sblock=OOC]
I took "Readying an action to unleash a blast of frigid air upon the zombies once they shuffle into range" to mean that Dj'hân was readying an action to trigger when the zombies moved on their turn, which they hadn't yet done. If you want to act before Edmond, however, I reckoned that 2,3, and 4 were within line of effect for the, er, line effect.

3d6 damage = 12 vs. zombies #2, #3 and #4, none of whom make their saves.

Only zombies #5 and #6 are left.
