Sollir Furryfoot said:
Sollir looks about in frustration, having a hard time finding an opening for one of his arrows. Looking over a bit, he takes a step back, shooting two arrows at one of the ghouls in sight.
Sollir takes aim at the ghoul that threatens to penetrate the party lines and fires a pair of arrows. One misses and smashes into the wall but the other hits in the ghoul’s groin. (Hey, it had to happen one day or another ; 7 damage)
Taz said:
Taz readies again, hoping for the trick to work at least once more. Anyways it's the best she can do, this way there's at least the chance, that the ghoul priest's nasty spells will not affect the party. God (and Heavy G) knows how many hold persons that one has left.
(I like how that last part isn’t identified as OOC
)

Ubaar has many thoughts swirling in his head, now that it is not filled with the razor-keen clarity of Uthgar's rage.
. o 0 (That gnoll with emblam on shield - wonder what that symbol represents? Were gnolls willing parti-ci-pants in their undead-ness, or were they forced to?)
. o 0 (Why one of them so skinny?)
. o 0 (Why there raggedy-looking humans here? Were they slaves?)
. o 0 (Where Ivellios running to? Wonder if he run into some undead orcs, like he always feared? Can't say Ubaar'd miss 'em. We could use his Strength, but it seems he has lost his...)
. o 0 (Oh, well. Guess I'd better smash this undeady-gnoll before he hurt me or my friends.)
Ubaar swings a wide stroke with his greatsword, hoping to cut the gnoll (K19) in two.
. o 0 (Wow. Head too full in bat-tle if not angry. Too much time to think.)
The zombie takes the mighty blow in the chest. Ubaar’s sword cleaves through the zombie’s scale mail and putrid flesh and opens a deep gaping wound in the still-moving undead. (10 damage)

Kytess hears Ivellios' call to the group warning of danger from behind. She forces herself to ignore it as she holds the line against the undead horde.
She concentrates her efforts on one of the weaker zombies, in hopes of dropping it and another of its kind.
With a precise attack routine, Kytess dispatches the human zombie to her left and continues her blow on to the gnoll zombie in front of her. Unfortunately, the blow deflects off the gnoll’s shield. (8 damage on K16, a miss on the cleave on K17)
CRGreathouse said:
The stiffness of the ghoul-wound continues to spread. Kytess is fairly sucessful in ignoring it, but that doesn't make it go away...
The large rune-skeletons stand their grounds as Ubaar’s zombie attacks him with its battle axe and the other zombies slowly flee away from Jalon. The zombie’s battle axe manages to score a deep wound on the slowed-down barbarian’s shoulder as one fleeing zombie gets a greatsword blow in the back, then a spiked chain blow killing it and the other fleeing zombie gets a chain blow too, but flees. (Ubaar gets 8 damage from K19, then gives 8 damage to fleeing K18(AoO). Kytess inflicts 10 damage to K18, killing it, then misses the cleave on K17 and hits for 8 on K17 on its own AoO.)
Then, the undead priest starts casting another spell at the halfling woman (a darkness spell as far as she can tell) just as she fires off another pair of magic missiles. The missiles slam into the priest and spoil its spell. (9 damage for the MMs, concentration roll failed lamentably)
At the same time, the ghoul to Kytess’ left attacks her in a frenzy of teeth and claws, but the agile warrior dodges all attacks, or deflects them with her weapon.
Jalon Odessa said:
Feeling his energy slowly draining away, Jalon nevertheless remains resolute before the evil priest.
'Surrender and repent, evil one, or you shall be made to stand before the true face of judgement.'
And with that, the priest forces his way to the front of the party [J19] and lashes out with his longsword at the zombie not driven away by his strength of faith[K19].
The priest’s sword cleaves through the zombie gnoll’s shield arm. The wooden shield collapses with a clang on the ground. (6 damage)
Murhid said:
Murhid attempts to get dirty once again, running a series of blows into the ghoul.
With one good blow, Murhid breaks the ghoul’s spine. The undead collapses to the ground and twitches twice. Murhid can barely see a thin black mist escaping from the dead ghoul’s mouth. (6 damage + 1 miss)
