[QUOTE="stonegod, post: 3444431, member: 36973"] [size=3][b]Church Round 3[/b][/size] [COLOR=DarkOrange]"A little help here, Brother!"[/COLOR] Jarrith calls out, keeping defenses up but not pressing his attack. He waits on the defensive until his Lumin Brother comes over. Undeterred by Danovich's flight, the zombie parishioners again swipe at the party. The one facing Sir Urik cannot manage to disentangle itself from the knight's shield, while the clumsy second one cannot land a blow on Jarrith.

A partially smashed laboratory work bench stands in the northwest portion of the cellar, including an iron slab surrounded by a clutter of broken equipment of incomprehensible complexity. Looking around, Janis sees the heavily wounded Danovich leaning against a shattered table nearby, another worn scroll in his hand.
