[QUOTE="Mark Chance, post: 4312429, member: 2795"] [b]Battle of the Welcome Wench (Round 4)[/b] "Somebody help me with that thing," Xenon calls the others, still trying to retrieve one of his daggers and slash the zombie. "I am working on it! Seems this great feast has somewhat disrupted my aim." Gordon says with a chuckle while - yet again - sending forth his purple ray. This time the ray strikes true. The zombie's putrid flesh bubbles and hisses in a narrow strip across its back. Realizing that her attacks thus far had been ineffective, Tetsuko approaches the zombie attacking Xenon and tries her quarterstaff, hoping for a more meaningful result. Unfortunately, she can't find a good enough opening for her strike Xenon yanks his hand free from the zombie's grip and pulls a dagger from its sheath. The soulknife then rams the blade deep into the zombie's gut, twisting the blade into the monster's gas-filled stomach. The resulting stenches are far from pleasant, but Xenon can see the creature has been seriously wounded. "In...fant..." hisses the zombie just before its jaws clamp shut on Xenon's neck. The soulknife's armor again takes the brunt the attack, but the pain and the sudden lack of oxygen are almost enough to push Xenon into unconsciousness. Norim steps towards the closest Zombie and swings his longsword mightily. The Zombie dodges with astonishing grace as the sword goes wide. "Stand still and take your punishment!" he screams at the creature. "Curses!" Gundigoot says, tossing his crossbow aside and pulling a stout cudgel from behind the bar. He then clambers over the bar and rushes past the knot of heroes battling the zombie. "The dead man's getting up!" Sure enough, Gundigoot is right. The man who first staggered into the inn before having his skull bit open by the zombie is rising. Gore covers his head and face. By this time, the tavern area is all but empty. A few spectators lurk in the doorway to the kitchen and on the lower reaches of the stairs to the second floor. One of these is Goodie Gundigoot. Then, bursting onto the scene through door to the kitchen comes Onslo the stableboy, bearing a militia longspear in his youthful hands. "One side!" he says to the people in his way. "Let me through!" Onslo rushes forward, and then stops, staring wide-eyed at the horrific scene before him, uncertain what to do. [sblock=Combat Box]Initiative Order: Onslo (23), Zombie 2 (22), Gordon (21), Tetsuko (15), Xenon (4), Zombie 1 (4), Norim (2), Gundigoot (2) Effects in Play: Tetsuko (force screen) Status: Xenon (10 nonlethal) Zombie 1 (grappling with Xenon; 6 damage) Two zombies are dead. Xenon and zombie 1 are grappling. Gordon is about ten feet away from zombie 1. Norim and Tetsuko are adjacent to the grapplers. Gundigoot is adjacent to zombie 2, which is about 10 feet away from the party. Onslo is about 10 to 15 feet away from both groups, depending on which way he decides to go. Onslo and Zombie 2 have acted for round 5.
