Curse of House Thimbrall (orsal judging)

"I haven't found anything like a basement yet", replied Boog. "Let's go upstairs as soon as I finish searching this little room."

Looking at Levin, "Would that be so bad?" After looking around, Kamdar steps toward ao'Thuir, "Yep, let's go up."

ooc: How about we assume we pick up things we find--Animus can tell us what we found and what happened--and we move on?

Ridik put back the scroll where he just added some notes and follow the other as they proceed to go upstair.

Jann Hurst Half-Elf Sorceror1

Jann attempts to be near the middle of the pack as they ascend the stairs, not quite trusting to the emptiness of the lower floor.

Does this alignment seem to be right? Because this is what I'm assuming.

You ascend the stairs to find that they lead up to an open foyer on the second floor. It measures 40 feet by 20 feet without the nooks in the southern corners. There is a rug in the middle of the floor that looks especially worn and ragged. There are four zombies standing around. These zombies don't seem to be normal however.

Initiatives.

OOC: Initiative roll: 8

As Ridik finally reach the upper steps, he looks around and see the zombies. "Strange creatures..." He takes his holy symbol and put it over his head. "May Russna's knowledge protect us." (Turning check: 16, Turning Damage 8)

ao'Thuir lunges up the stairs, and spotting the zombies charges the first one he can (Z1). He moves quickly slamming his great sword into the foul abomination. "Now thats what I am talking about!" he shouts.

[ooc:Init 16; Atk 21 (23 if able to actually charge); dmg 17]

I think it's awkward, because it's not clear to me which set of stairs we would have taken or if we'd have taken both sets of stairs at the same time.[/sblock]Reacting too quickly to the sight of the zombies, Boog dropped his staff with a clatter, stepped away from the landing and fired wildly at a zombie, nearly tripping over his own feet in his haste to ascend the stairs and get out of the way of those behind him.

OOC:[sblock]This is also awkward because I don't know how well the landing of the stairs is going to clear out. For example, if ao'Thuir stops on the stairs just before the landing, Keth will be on the stairs near the first floor and Boog will be stuck on the first floor. Boog will follow Keth up to the landing, then perform his usual tactic of stepping out of the way to clear a path for those behind him. He will target first any zombie that is attacking him, then the nearest zombie he has a clear line of sight to, then the nearest zombie of any kind. He will drop his crossbow and draw a dagger if engaged in melee.[/sblock]

Jann Hurst Half-Elf Sorceror1

Reacting with a speed borne of adrenaline (init=20), Jann curses briefly and fires off one of his trusty magic missiles over the shoulders of the others, aiming for the zombie in the upper left portion of the room (Z2). The bolt of force flies true, but only singes the zombie waiting there. He then moves just off the stairs to clear the way for the others, to the left if he can, but no more than 5' away from the top of the stairs.

OOC for Animus:[sblock]As per post #345, do any of the items we found radiate magic? Oh, 3 damage to the zombie if you don't want to click the link.[/sblock]
