[LPF] Kostry Kopec

Ausk gives up fighting a clearly unwinnable fight, stops raging, and with no place to retreat, simply goes full defensive, pretty sure that he's still dead, but not really caring at this point.

Pointing towards the fall zombie Anaerion yells to the summoned leapord "Focus on freeing Ausk! I'll deal with the clean up of those that I can!"

The leapord turns towards the downed zombie, and charges forward, attempting to leap over part of the part to take the most direct route to the zombie:

With one more swipe of his claw, Gragnor downs the zombie that was harassing him. With the other kitty taking out a prone zombie, Gragnor leap frogs ahead, approaching the next in line.

Kalgor uses the rail to move forward a bit, then shoots the zombie on Ausk in the back with a bolt of electricity. Rylidak shoots twice at the same zombie, but her coughing throws the arrows off their mark.

With the caster's fate resolved, the party begins to make fairly quick work of the zombies. Anaerion's summoned ally makes a daring leap over the bubbling mess of middengoo, and in a flurry of fur and claws, leaves its victim a rather gooey mess, itself, torn into so many rotting shreds.

Gragnor takes a final swipe at his foe, slicing its spine through and leaving it an immobile heap of seeping flesh. Gragnor makes haste away from both the recently dead and the dead-again, adroitly crossing the slippery walkways.

Their primary target down, the humanoids in the party are free to focus on aiding their pinned-in companion. Kalgor's jolt runs through his corpse target, searing much of its flesh until it rips open in several places. It shakes visibly from the electrical energy in its form, eyes bulging. It takes only a spash of acid from Anaerion to finish the job, as the already-swollen zombie head pops open like an oversized pustule, spewing its unused brain matter onto the walkway before it collapses.

Undeterred, the few stragglers continue their assaults. Ausk's remaining accoster, however, cannot breach the increased defenses of the half-orc as he hunkers down. The zombie on the middle walkway shambles southward, and Ausk fears he may be back in the situation his friends just alleviated, but apparently the casters have caught the creature's attention, as it closes with the elven caster, instead.

[sblock=Actions and status]

Z6: Move action to stand
Z7: Attack Ausk. Miss.
Z3: Acro check. Success. Moves to threaten Anaerion

My apologies. It wasn't until I went to update Ausk for falling out of rage that I realized I didn't have his Raging HP on his status. On the upside, falling out of rage didn't put him appreciably closer to falling.

Anaerion: 44/44, Mage Armor, Bless, Sickened

* Sickened: -2 penalty on all attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.

* Grappled: -4 Dex, -2 attacks and maneuvers (except grapple / escape grapple), no 2 handed actions, Concentration to cast, no AoO

[sblock=Environmental Notes]* The squares on B2 are all on the same level, but are 10 feet above the blue areas. I've screened the creatures who are down the level.

* Fumes in here are much more potent than out in the lobby. Base save Fort DC is 15 for EACH ROUND you're in the room to avoid being sickened while there.

* The walkways are slick. Moving at more than half speed requires a DC 5 Acrobatics check to avoid falling prone. Failing by 5 or more means you slip entirely off the walkway and fall to the vats below, taking fire instead of falling damage from the heated muck.

* You can use a free hand to make use of rails and chains to help steady you for a +5 on the Acro check, but that means the hand is not considered free for any actions during the round.

* Moving at full speed on the walkways gives a -5 on the Acro check.

* Note the Acro check is not required for moves that only contain rows 1-6.

* Area B3 is another 15' above the walkways in B2.

* The gray screened area is filled with Black Tentacles. Entering the area triggers an auto-grapple attempt (success also causes damage). Even if you avoid the grapple, the area is difficult terrain.[/sblock]

Using the rail once again, Kalgor steps forward and slices through another zombie as it approaches the wizard. The heavy weight of the blade is just enough to end its wanderings. Rylidak takes steady aim and pierces the trailing zombie on the far catwalk squarely in the chest. Unfortunately, it is still trying to move forward. Gragnor zig-zags across the crosswalk to end up beside Ausk in an attempt to help him.

Exhausted, sickened, heavily wounded, and lacking a weapon that would be able to do appreciable damage to his current foe, Ausk continues to maintain full defense, dropping his morningstar to take advantage of his bill in that capacity.

Anaerion also helps destroy the undead with another splash of acid.

The leopard charges at the undead in front of it, hoping to kill another.

Kalgor cuts down the zombie threatening Anaerion, and between Rylidak's arrow, Anaerion's acid, and the flurry of attacks from the celestial cat, one more falls.

There remains then only a single, groaning undead, and though it's undeterred by the clear numerical advantage of the party, brainless determination does it no good. The celestial cat slices its hamstrings with two claws as Gragnor sets it shuddering with an electrified claw of his own.

Ausk takes full advantage to vent his frustrations on the remaining undead. A grim look in his eye, he swings his morningstar. When it connects with the skull of the zombie, it sends the creature's head flying over the walkways in a high arc. The headless body crumples to the floor even as the open-mouthed head splashes into the thick, bubbling mud below. With a sizzling sound, the final zombie's cranium sinks below the surface of the vat's contents, leaving the party alone with the stench of middenstone and a room full of bodies.

[sblock=ooc]With only one zombie left, it seems like nothing but grind to keep things going. So end things with nifty visuals, I always say. Ausk gets first and last blood, and you guys are out of combat. Not only that, but with 1,000 xp apiece plus time XP, everyone levels! Congrats.

I'll get the first post updated shortly. If anyone wants input into Rylidak's next level, let me know. Otherwise, I'll get that done here soon, as well, and get you the new stats.[/sblock]

Ausk takes a minute to catch his breath as he heals himself a few times. He seems to be in a bit of shock he's still alive, and it doesn't help your impression when he starts having an argument with the weasel that pops his head out of one of the pouches. What the argument is about is hard to tell as it's in a completely foreign tongue to anything you've ever heard.

[sblock=ooc]Good, I can finally see if the effort of going for rage prophet was worth it, and the weasel gets to have some fun.[/sblock]
