Legacy of Death Part IX: The Ultimate Tomb

[Jin Abackis]

Sim tries to camouflage/cover his cloak with some of the grey dirt around here. He wraps the cloak around himself and moves off to one side of the open mouth trying to keep under cover and within 10 squares of Buckthorn. He has the Ruinblade in hand.

Buckthorn suddenly appears out of the gloom, and mentions Zombies---he saw at least three and heard more, many more. Toiling away at some pointless task. He suggest trying to get the jump on them.

on roll 20, you can see what he saw and most of you (the newcomer is behind) at the bottom of the map. This place is dark, so you can't see everything.

Let me know what you do, if you get a chance roll for init and, stealth(?).

Allowyn will dismount and approach behind the others, staying within 10.

-Everyone within 10 that can see and hear Allowyn gets +4 initiative

 

[TerraDave]

on roll20 (link above) you can NOW see where the characters are.

or don't make those checks.

Alerted by Buckthorn's scouting, and because they are zombies, albiet Hades ones infused with who knows what power, you can all take a turn before the zombies react. Then they will go, tomorrow morning.

On the map, you can draw to indicate how you want to move. Please go ahead and make attack roles. As someone moves ahead and sees more, I will indicate it on the map.

16 initiative for Forge. He won't bother being stealthy but will charge the one in the middle or another one if closer. 39 to hit ac and 27 damage if hits.

 

[TerraDave]

Forge charges through the open ground (the rubble is rough terrain) and hacks down the zombie, ending the drudgery it was engaged in.

However, as you swing your mighty axe, you or another may notice it glows strangely a bit, and then you definitely notice the blast of energy from the eldritch storm that suddenly strikes right next to you. A less hardy soul would have felt the effects of that.

Along with the rubble--which seems oddly creepy--and the storm, there is also the black ice, which blocks line of sight and seems really cold.

 

[dyermaker001]

Seeing the blast from the dead zombie, Allowyn and his cat take up a central position to avoid any further blasts. They will also avoid the black ice when possible. Allowyn throws his javelin at the left zombie (33 v. AC)

"We've got the drop on them, watch for the death blast and take them out from range before they know what hit them"

(Everyone gets +1 from attacking an enemy that hasn't acted yet, +2 attacking when adj to allowyn, and +4 damage to opportunity attacks when with 3sq. of allowyn.)
