Chongo raises one finger to his lips. If the party were silent, it would make subduing any enemies that much easier. He steps out and moves easterly, listening intently for trouble.

Bael silently nods in acknowledgement of Anar's and Chongo's tactical advice and positions himself to watch the opposite doorway for trouble.

Col keeps to the middle of the room. He didn't care for this place much. Reminded him about this tomb he once read about. Something about a carsed pirate treasure that would turn you undead if you took the gold. Had something about an apple in it to. Col didn't like apples. Oranges, yes, but not apples. They were a symbol of fertility---evil fertility.

Hands on weapons, Anar and Chongo lead the way to peer through the eastern set of double doors. Bael, seeing no trouble from the west, falls in with Col as the party cautiously proceeds east. At first, the gloomy illumination from Col's spear reveals little of the large room beyond the doors, save for two pillars which support the low ceiling. But then, Anar hears a low moan, which draws his attention to a humanoid form shuffling towards him. Garbed like an ancient bucaneer, the figure's skin is rotten and sloughing away, while its eyes are as vacant as the grave. Two other similar undead pirates emerge from the darkness as well. Seeing the living intruders that have entered their world, all three extend their arms and begin to stumble mindlessly forward. Their fanged maws open impossibly wider than they should, revealing row upon row of jagged teeth as they attack!

Combat Actions?

Guys, my webhosting site seems to be down, so there's no combat map for you right now. Just know that you're in a roughly 60x60' room, and the zombies are all about 10-15' away from the party. Also, since I know Voadam hasn't yet returned from his holiday break, would anyone like to volunteer to NPC Kalen for this battle?
edit: I uploaded a thumbnail combat map, it's better than nothing, I suppose.

Chongo will utter an oath in Olman as he struggles against the superstitions of his people. The shamans on the tribes would often animate corpses to serve as guardians of holy sites, and if the group was breaking a taboo, naught but evil would come of it. The pause is only momentary, however, and he moves forward and attacks the nearest zombie.

[Sblock=OOC]Move 10' east to #1 and attack with the flail I already had out.[/sblock]

Anar Tovanni

Anar curses at the sight of the dead pirates, a salty sailor's curse that would make a woman blush. He had to fight the urge to flee, and knew too that his weapon would be little use against an opponent that had no functioning organs to thrust the blade into. Still, his companions needed him.

Stepping north, Anar engages one of the three "things," his rapier held in a two handed grip. He wields it defensively, but stands ready to plunge it into his foe should an opening arise.


OOC: Fight defensively, bringing AC to 18. Attack -1, Damage 1d6+3

Mad Col

The old man is quite animated at the appearance of the zombies. "Thrice carsed zombies! If you find dark Olman gold on them, let it be! It's sure to be the doom of you!" The old man racks his brain quickly, trying to remember what the excerpts from the Nethertorme he found scribbled in his copy of the Journeys of St. Tovak said about zombies...there must be something there! At the same time, he pulls free his sickle in preparation.

OOC: Move action to use Dark Knowledge. Move action to draw sickle (longspear held but not wielded in other hand).

BTW: The map is a bit smallish---doesn't enlarge on a click. You can also embed and attached image directly the same way you embed normal images---just use the URL link to the attachment (I do this for the Ravenloft game).

Kalen

By the Seven Courts of Titania, more monstrosities! The elf draws his shortbow, hoping to score a lucky shot on one of the zombies.

OOC: I'll try to imitate Voadam's style. Move action to draw bow, standard to fire at at zombie 2 (should be a clear shot).

OOC: BTW: Let me know if that knowledge check (or another free one if needed) tells him anything unusual about this zombies (or, if they are normal 'Z's, to ensure Col can communicate their weaknesses such as DR if he rolls high enough).

Bael scrunches his face in disgust at the sight of the undead. Quickly enough his senses return to him, and he casts a bolt of energy at the leftmost zombie.
OOC: Magic Missile for 1d4+3 against zombie #2
