[Adventure] Dusk and Her Embrace (Judge: THB)

[MetaVoid]

Have you checked out the bloodied boon feat?

I have, it wasn't in existance when he was made and last level I had some retraining to do. Next level I need Venom Hand Master to do necrotic AND poison damage (via Spirit poison) with my power and ignore Poison resist/imune so I can damage everything (even undead) with my necrotic powers...so, I will take it as soon as 10th level

The last of the waning sunlight that has been filtering through the trapdoor ends; the sun has finally set.

The rectory is suddenly filled with a low, guttural moaning. To your horror, the five corpses, no longer simply inert flesh, climb unsteadily to their feet. The gem around the neck of mummified cleric pulses brightly as the five undead horrors lurch to the attack.

[MetaVoid]

Bellegon moves across the room, flickering shadows deepening the gloom around him. Part of the shadow dettaches and clings to the mummy. He glares at undead creature, embeding horrors from under the world in it's mind. Unfortunately, he chooses demons as his horrors and the undead almost smiles at the sillyness of it.

”Cut the head from the snake, me pappy always said.”, Brondin says as he closes to melee with the zombie priest.

With a silent prayer to Onatar, Brondin swings his craghammer at the undead creature. As he does, red runes appear on his armor and weapon, glows brightly, then fade, empowering his swing. It damages the thing slightly, but it looks a little weakened by the attack.

[sblock=Actions]Summary:

[Son of Meepo]

Taking her cue from Brondin, Ghourra stands her ground to protect Deimos, she tosses the weapon in her hands. The runes in Dwarven along the haft flare to life as it sails impossibly through the air. The zombie priest barely deflects the blow in the nick of time as Ghourra's weapon flies back to her hand.

[horticulture]

The undead Katashkan priest, showing a profane intelligence, peels back its face and lets loose a horrific howl before retreating towards the other undead. Bellegon and Brondin stumble backwards, retching at the disgusting features.

The zombies, moaning with an unending hunger, lurch forward toward the now exposed pair. A trio of the monsters club at the dwarf, connecting multiple times. The remaining zombie swings at the drow; Brondin, seeing his companion in trouble, causes a ward on his shield to flash with an obscene brightness, blinding the creature. Despite his efforts, the zombie still slams a clawed hand into Bellegon's shoulder.

[drothgery]

Normally, Tana would close right at the greatest threat on the field, which seemed to be the priest. However, two things contra-indicated that. The first was that had just attacked her greatest weakness, and she new she was very lucky to have avoided taking damage from that. And the second was that Brondin was already doing everything he could to attract the creature's attention on him, and diverting it to her would make that effort useless. So instead, she decided to do what she could to the zombies. She moved to between her allies and channeled a burst of magic energy from her sword. It damaged both of them, although not all that much.

[sblock=actions]triggers: 1. if a bloodied ally is hit by someone not marked by her, use Channeling Shield
2. if someone marked by her Aegis attacks someone else, use Aegis of Shielding (option 1 has priority)

move: move to G9 without provoking OAs
minor: mark the zombie at H9 with her Aegis
standard: attack the zombies at H9 and H10 with sword burst
H9 vs REF; H10 vs REF; dmg (1d20+9=23, 1d20+9=21, 1d6+7=8) - because they were hit, if they attack Tana before her turn, they take 5 Force damage due to White Lotus Riposte

Brondin staggers from the zombie’s blows. Green runes flare to life as he tries to shake off most of the damage. He then turns his attention to the zombies surrounding him, eyes lingering on the one that dealt the strongest blow. ”That snake sure is a’ slippery one, ain’t it? Out of my way!.”, Brondin yells.

Brondin strikes the ground at his feet with his craghammer. Instantly the ground begins to ripple and buckle limiting the zombies’ movements. Then he shifts to the right, focusing a might strike on the zombie that hurt him.

OOC: @Walking Dad : During the first round of an encounter, I usually don’t like to post before everyone has gone, but I wanted to set you up for a push (and then knock prone) round. I hope you don’t mind lol

GM: [MENTION=6672544]jsb420[/MENTION], I'm not sure if I missed it, but did you want to mark any of the monsters this round? Also, the Zombie Adventurer in G11 is now bloodied. 30/60 HP.

OOC: @horticulture : oops! forgot my mark was a free action. Thanks. Yes I'll mark ZA (H10) prior to shifting. I'll edit my post (including Warden's Grasp - Immediate Reaction)
