Combat, round 1
As soon as Otto pushes the door open, you are immediately hit by the stench of death and decay. Five greyish, emaciated creatures stand poised about the chamber, all facing the door you just opened. One, standing near the western door, smiles as it sees you, baring its sharp teeth. "Sees? I told you I heard food..."
Before you can act, two of the ghouls close. One leaps at Coraine, biting. Its teeth fail to penetrate the paladin's fine armor.
The second closes hungrily, and as it does the stank of decay and death strikes you like a hammer...miraculously, all of you save Dara manage to fight past the nauseating smell. Dara however is sickened by the stench, leaving her gagging and shaky on her feet. The smellier of the two creature sinks its teeth into Otto, tearing a chunk of flesh from the halfling's shoulder and worse: paralyzing him with its foul taint!
Coraine ignores the ghoul right in front of him and, instead, launches a spirited attack upon the foul-smelling creature which has bitten Otto. Calling on the power of his god, he whirls his battleaxe overhead before crashing it down on the abomination's head. The vile ghast jukes at the last moment, but Coraine's axe still tears a raged wound along its side.
Ragnok growls and steps in front of the paralyzed halfling, swinging Norryjar with all his might. His axe chops brutally down, cleaving a huge chunk of dessicated flesh from the ghast; somehow though, the creature remains standing.
The other ghouls mill about in the room, taking up positions behind their companions. The one furthest north, though, moves to the northern door and throws it open, hissing as he does so. "Come, food...fresh eats!"
Kurt grunts as he sees the speed of the ghouls' attacks and the effect on Otto. Anticipating Ragnok to cover the hole in the line, Kurt sets his mind to dealing with undead as best he knows how. "You be lookin' poorly," he says aloud to the ghouls, instantly recognising them for what they are. Grasping his holy symbol and presenting it boldly, Kurt concentrates firmly on the power of his god. "Best you be havin' some of Heironeous' treatment!" he bellows and a rush of power leaves him in a wave. (Sacred Purification - anyone living creature within 60ft heals 1d8+2 hps and undead within 60ft take the same in damage - see character sheet for full description).
"Now, begone!" he hurls after them. The ghouls in the chamber shriek, and begin to withdraw with all haste before Kurt's power.
Momentarily stunned by the sudden attack and the foul stench, Verdis gathers his wits and fires his crossbow at an advancing ghoul. The bolt slams into the chest of the ghast, sending it staggerin back and collapsing to the ground.
Feeling a bit less adventerous with all the ugly stench around, and seeing what the creatures did to Otto, Dara first protects herself by casting a Shield spell.

"Now, begone!" he hurls after them. (Turn Undead attempt, check 1d20+4 for 3d6+5 damage)
ooc: Kurt moves to I88 beforehand if Ragnok moves to Otto's square (H87).
ooc2: Sacred Purification is apparently a swift action (never used swift/immediate actions before), so that still leaves Kurt with his usual actions available, so he'll add the turn undead AFTER the damage.
