Kane sees that the humans cower behind their protective wall, and the variety of injuries mounting, Kane decides to turn back to the group of undead harrying his allies.

The bugbear steps to the far side of the group, knowing the dwarf would draw their attention, and unleashed a long horizontal slash that leaves slowing oozing wounds on a trio of the foes.

OOC does the zombie aura attack provoke an AoO from Kruk since he marked it?

 

[renau1g]

[sblock=Aura]
It only triggers if you start your turn in it, but I do believe it would trigger Kruk's combat challenge.[/sblock]

 

[dimsdale]

Kruk sees an opening on the horde and takes advantage of it. Another slice and another dismemberment. The horde is getting smaller.

[sblock=OA]
OA: 1d20+15 vs Horde AC: 33 for 1d10+7+2(combat superiority) = 11/2=5

Zombies dropped left and right as the group focused their fire on the horde. Turning back to the Dwarf, the first zombie lunged at the Kruk. The fighter pushed the creature back with his shield, and it lost its balanced; the zombie fell back, causing a domino effect that toppled the entire group.

The last archer moves down the wall toward the gate. He takes aim with his crossbow and fires at Kane. The bolt shot straight for Kane's heart, but the barbarian cut the bolt in two in mid air, and the pieces bounced harmlessly off his body.

The fat woman moved awkwardly to the end of the wall. She staired at Kruk with a scrunched face, but nothing happen. Cursing, she stomped her feet, and nearly lost her footing.

Ajathan Strongheart climbs atop the right Wall. "Get up you fools! And you too!" He two mental bolts, one slamming into Wil and pulling the prone archer closer to the wall, the other ripping Kruk through another space-time hole. As kruk found himself closer to the wall as well, blood began to pour from the orifices in his head.

[/sblock][sblock=Terrain Notes]
1. Difficult Terrain:
Snow Drifts: M9:O10 and M26:N28 and O27:O28
Snow-covered Rocks: R15, W21, X21:X22, H14
Treeline

2. The wall and gate are made of wood, 12' tall.
If standing on the wall, there is no cover bonus granted.
If prone atop the wall, the target has superior cover (-5) vs opponents on the ground.

3. The cliffs on the east and west side of the map are too steep to climb, so basically impassible, creating a bottleneck in the road.

Motives
Kruk: Find his friend Greggor

Everyone Else: Locating the missing Silver shipment for Lord Byron

Summary of Events
1. Bested Pirates en route to Allaria. Traveled on the ship Wind's Will captained by Captain Levenbrech, and mated by Porse and Trig.
2. Arrived in the port, to find it besieged by Lizards from the unending mire. Defeated lizards and met/teamed up with Charina.
3. Journeyed to Geardagas and asked the locals for information with mixed results (link to the leads gathered).
4. Went to the temple of Netari, where the new priest, Father Niris, has been tending to the ill (apparently quite poorly). He led the players into the catacombs, where his zombie minions ambushed. The priest, over confident, rambled on about Hellview (background reference for players).
5. Dealing a mortal blow to the Priest, he says Master De Luccia (First time they have heard the name) cannot be stopped, and he stated that Greggor "will be... among the first... at Hellview." The priest laid dying on the floor with his fallen minions.
6. As they approach Hellview, they encounter the ghost of Sir Alistair Glasston, who begged them to enter the cave and retrieve his lost battleaxe.
7. They entered Hellview, and came across a portal, as well as some guards/workers. It seems they were using zombies to dig a new path near the portal...
8. They step through the portal into a bizarre world. A demon statue looms ahead, with a tall gate behind. The bodies of fallen adventurers, as well as a dead demon, lay about the floor. Wil Triggered the Demon statue trap, alerting the nearby demon's.
9. After a long battle, they slew all of the demons who had come through the hell gate, and they found Sir Alistair Glasston's lost battleaxe. But Greggor was still missing, and there is the question of why the demons were digging.
10. Hergunna departed the group to alert the local militia, while the others pressed ahead North, trying to find the source of the demon-aligned miners, as well as the lost silver.
11. They came upon a wall blocking the road to the mine. Mounted knight Brother Arleas leads a band of outlaws and zombies to defend the mine entrance. After slaying the Knight and half his men, the remaining wizards and archers closed the gate.
