My desktop PC died last night, so my posting may be diminished until I fix it. I can still rely on laptop until then.

OOC:

OK, no problem, thanks for letting me know.

Good luck on fixing your PC

As Dorn blasts the zombies Marcel shrieks in rage. Very well, you have sealed your fate! On his command, the zombies shamble forward. Two slams their fists into Sir ExSixTen, denting his metal plating, the other slams Jax with his fists. The two fighters charge at Dorn swinging their swords. One managing to connect through the dark mist surrounding him.

The Ju-ju zombie moves up to Sir ExSixTen, he grabs the Warforged and picks him up, and starts to strangle him.

My minions, kill them all! Marcel shouts. At his command, three of the zombies make another attack.

OOC:

One new power supply later and I'm back in business.

Despite the presence of several zombies right beside him, Jax opens his belt pouch and retrieves the small stone he picked up from the madman's house. He strikes it against his dagger several times, imbuing it with a pulsing green glow. While he sharpens his blade, Jax says "They're everywhere! Dorn, can you handle these hordes? And I'll go for this one! HYAH!"

Before he gets an answer, he strikes back at the large zombie between him and Sir Exsixten. His dagger tears a shallow gash in the zombie that, while not immediately fatal, sizzles and burns from the leftover green ooze.

[sblock=Jax stat block / actions]Actions
Minor: Retrieve caustic whetstone.

Minor: Apply caustic whetstone to Goblin Totem Dagger. Until the end of the encounter, the dagger now has an additional effect of ongoing 2 acid damage (save ends) on a successful attack. The whetstone is consumed.

Standard: Piercing Strike vs Zombie Fighter 2 hits Reflex 26 for 19 damage and ongoing 2 acid damage (save ends). CA comes from flanking with Sir Exsixten. (1d20+16-2;1d4+6+1+1;2d8+3). I forgot the -2 to attacks, but it still easily hits.

Jax said:
They're everywhere! Dorn, can you handle these hordes?

Dorn smiles at Jax's question and transforms...

// Action post coming - also note Dorn started the battle with 4 TMP hp so he should have only taken 8 "real" damage

nerdytenor · Apr 5, 2011

From the inside of Dorn's shadowy shroud a blue spark of pure lightning can be seen. Dorn's body accelerates, giving itself over to pure elemental chaos as it explodes across the battlefield.

(Spark Form Dorn shifts 8 squares, moving through enemy squares. Whenever he leaves an enemy square, he makes an attack. Path: R30, R29, Q29, P31, Q32, R33, R32, S32. Dorn misses zombie fighter on the left. Dorn kills zombie 1, 2, 5, and 6. Dorn hits juju zombie for 14 lightning damage and hits fighter on the right for 11 lightning damage. Move action - shift to T32. Minor - sustain shroud).

Brenn stepped around to the far side of the entryway. He took careful aim and fired an arrow into the largest zombie, striking it in the shoulder and sending it spinning away, so it lost its hold on the crazy (in a good way) warforged. The stench of the undead was still almost painful to Brenn's keen senses, so he took another step back, trying to recover...

AXTRORDINARY! THESE ZOMBIES CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF SIR EXSIXTEN'S AXE! AXPLORE THE DEPTHS OF PAIN AND <RE>DEATH AXEHOLES!

OOC:

@pathfinderq1 , I don't suppose you could slide the ju-ju away 1 to break his grab and then slide him back to where he is? I prefer to have as many enemies next to Sir Exsixten as possible.

Turn summary:
*If the ju-ju ju-ju above was possible: Zombie Fighter 1 takes 14 damage and is marked, Fighter 2 takes 20 damage and is marked, Ju-Ju takes 21 damage and is marked and Sir Exsixten has 4 THP.
*If not: Zombie Fighter 1 takes 14 damage and is marked, Fighter 2 takes 22 damage and is marked and Sir Exsixten has 8 THP.

[sblock=Actions]Minor: Activate Rain of Steel: for the rest of the encounter, any enemy that starts its turn adjacent to Sir Exsixten takes 1d12+2 damage(reroll the first 1).
Standard: Either Sweeping Blow(if the ju-ju is next to Sir Exsixten) or Hack and Hew(if only the two other zombies are):
*Vs Zombie Fighter 1: 1d20+11-2=22 AC, miss.
*Vs Zombie Fighter 2: 1d20+11-2+2(CA)=27 AC, 1d12+6=10 damage.
*Vs Ju-Ju: 1d20+9=27 AC, hit, 1d12+6=10 damage(made 2 rolls but forgot it was a burst).
Summary: *If Sweeping Blow, Zombie Fighter 1 is marked, Fighter 2 took 10 damage and is marked, Ju-Ju took 11 damage and is marked and Sir Exsixten has 4 THP. *If Hack and Hew, Fighter 1 is marked, Fighter 2 took 12 damage(since Sir Exsixten would have THP before the attack is made) and Sir Exsixten has 8 THP.
Move: -
Save: 1d20=10, saved vs -2 attacks.
Enemy Start of Turn Damage: 1d12+4=14 vs Fighter 1, 10 vs 2, 11 vs ju-ju.

>If it is possible to slide the ju-ju zombie 1 square away (up the stairs) and then back, breaking the grab but leaving it in its current position, I'll do that instead. [/sblock]

GM:

Brenn was able to slide the Ju-ju zombie back next to Sir ExSixTen.

Fools, your pathetic attempts cannot stop me! I can raise an army at my whim! Rise my minions, rise and slay them all! Marcel shouts, raising his rotting hands up in the air. Four pairs of undead hands burst through the ground and Brenn's feet and claw their way up to the surface.

The zombies continue their attack, smashing their crusty fists against Jax, Brenn and Andras. One of the fighters stabs his sword into Sir ExSixTen, the Ju-ju Zombie next grabs him, lifts the Warforged over his head with inhuman strength and hurls him into Dorn. Both fall flat on their face, sparks flying from the exposed gears of Sir ExSixTen as he stops moving.
