Sollir Furryfoot said:
"Sure thing, just let me get this...thing...out of my way." Sollir moves back, hurriedly reaching for his arrows and shooting them at the big ghoul.
(5 ft. step back to I16, shooting two arrows at the ghast)
The two arrows hit the ghast in the center chest and in an eye. The ghoul falls down, still. (6 and 7 damage – btw, I think Sollir is massively underused in dealing damage in combat, but that’s JMO.)
At the same time, Ubaar and Kytess, separated from the group and in dire straits, are tapping into their Reckless Hero Reserve (tm) (I could have been a lot more nasty in naming that 
) to disregard the rule that the skeletons should logically attack before them and thus have one last heroic action each before dying an heroic death. (Skeletons delay after them)

Kytess attacks the high priest, being careful to keep her defenses up. She tries to yell something to Ubaar, but the physical shock of all the poison in her system cuts it short.
Attack defensively, then takes a step (to S18). Attacks are at a total -6 (nausia and defensive), but AC is 21.
Kytess strikes a hit on the priest, removing a large piece of flesh from the undead’s arm and letting the white bone shine through. The priest continues swinging his staff around like a maniac, though. (8 damage)

Although Ubaar cannot call on the strength of the Thunderbeast to help him in this conclusive battle, he still has his own Strength to draw on till his last breath subsides:
Ubaar hears Kytess' choke back a yell, he sees the situation and how hurt he and the warrior-woman are, and decides to go out fighting.
"It look bad to Ubaar -
Hope the others have our backs.
(the barbarian flashes a glance to Kytess and stammers) It.... GOOD... fighting with you, Kyte."
Ubaar 5' steps to S16 to better cut off the boss (flank?) and puts all the strength he has left into one (last?) mighty slash with a bellowing roar of menace from deep within.
Stepping quickly behind the priest distracts him for an instant and Ubaar uses it to strike the undead with all his orcish might. The blow cuts him in half through the waist. The upper torso of the enemy falls, separated from the rest of its body. (And it would have missed without flanking, too. 17 damage)
Then, the two warriors spin around as they hear large figures coming up behind them. A pair of skeletons, towering over them hominously and with silvery fire dancing along their runes are preparing to slash them with long sharp claws and a pair of scorpion-like boney stingers are on their way already. Kytess manages to avoid the stinger, dodging and spinning as it scrapes her armor and throws off sparks. She also deflects a pair of claws with her weapon. Ubaar is not so lucky. His reflexes, much slowed down by ghoul poison are not up to the task of dodging the incoming blow after putting everything he has into cutting down the priest. He receives the stinger into the abdomen. It then slashes upward before exiting into a spray of blood and flesh. The barbarian stumbles to the ground as the skeleton turns towards the human warrior. (the attack did enough damage to make Ubaar unconscious but I’m not saying if he’s dead or not until someone examines him. In any case, it wasn’t 2 or 4 points of damage so even if he’s just unconscious, help will have to arrive soon.)
And then the zombie fighting Jalon misses with its battle axe.
Taz said:
Taz is a little confused about Jalon's comment, but still continues to attack the ghoul priest. This time she doesn't wait for him to do anything, since Kytess and Ubaar should be able to prevent him from casting this round, anyways. Two Magic Missiles for him!
(Let’s change that for the Skeleton that just defeated Ubaar, shall we ?)
The pair of missiles strike the skeleton in the back, sending bones flying everywhere. (9 damage)
Jalon Odessa said:
Ignoring his fatigue, and the poison flowing through his veins, Jalon continues to hack away at the undead with his longsword.
The two-handed longsword blow cuts the zombie gnoll’s head off. The undead falls to the ground, inert. (8 damage – If you want to have Jalon move after the attack, you can.)
As soon as the last ghast falls under Sollir’s arrows, the monk sprinted forward to help the two advanced warriors. He arrives just after the leftmost skeleton finishes stabbing Ubaar, then dodges the same stinger as it comes at him too before jump-kicking the skeleton’s ribs in then landing on his feet in a battle-crouch. (7 damage)
