Serris quickly appraises both enemies, and glides across the rubble to reach the walking corpse. He strikes out at it, trying to get it to falter before the psychic onslaught, but its single-minded hunger is not so easily overcome.

Big goliath moves around closer enemy, flanking it with Mythra.
"Don't you fall on me, gladiator. We're coming, punch that corpse that it feels it!"
shouts Orsik to beleguared warrior as he draws one of his healing runes, blood red again. As Baracus feels the healing, his fists grow heavy and hard as his blood collects over them.

Orsik then swings the maul, which leaves traces of red in it's wake as it heavily slams into the enemy. Small motes of red swirl around it, exaggerating it's moves, making it easy for Orsik to predict next attack.

Mythra nimbly steps away from his foe and unleashes more of the invisible Winged Horde on it but once again failing to make an impression.

kal'Tarron advances on the Corpse locked in combat with Barracus. He swings his axe, connecting with the corpse, but a chance movement from the target robs his blow of much of its power.

Grys moves in for the kill. "Pull back from the corner guys. That thing will have to come out and we can surround it. Can you wrestle that thing out into the open Baracus?" Grys shouts out. The last winged zombie falters under his assault and drops to the ground.

Baracus continues to try and pummel the corpse into submission, but the stink coming off the creature continues to throw off his aim.

The corpse once again hurls necrotic goop at Baracus, but it goes wide this time and splats unpleasantly against the wall nearby.

PROTECTION: adjacent allies gain DR 2

Orsik runs between the columns and tenses. His strong legs push him upward and he lands clearly using the wall to bounce toward the zombie without pushing Serris away.

His maul however catches the wall and he misses the beast.

Still, powerful presence of the goliath sheets Baracus in protective aura.

Jump E3->C1; Symbol of the Wrath Reversed vs AC; damage (1d20+14=33, 1d20+10=15, 2d6+6=14)

Bah, I could've cleared 5 square jump, but cannot hit side of the barn I think it's a miss even if it grants CA somehow (which is not included) Also, I didn't include bonus from vengeful since it missed last turn

Serris thrusts between his allies, managing not to hit anyone.

Baracus swings a mighty haymaker and connects solidly with the zombie’s head, with an effect something like an overripe pumpkin being smashed. A split second later the corpse’s bloated body follows suit, spontaneously erupting in a shower of putrid ichor over Baracus and kal’Tarron. Happily, both of them prove hale enough to withstand the blast with no worse effects than a new coating of filth.

[sblock=Baracus’s Turn]NPCing to keep things moving. Grappling Strike vs C: 1d20+11=23 -5 from aura = hit vs AC, Damage 1d6+8=14[/url [/sblock]

[sblock=Death Burst] C explodes in burst 1 as it dies. Baracus: [URL="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2655934/"]1d20=8+? = miss vs Fort, kal’Tarron 1d20=2+? = miss vs Fort.[/sblock]

With the last of the undead put to rest, the ancient stone temple stands quiet and still once more, and the party are able to catch their breath.
