"... Push the beast away...!"

In the dark Templeton hears Zanword, and it dawns on him he is trying to come out of the tunnel but he has no room.

OOC: You could shove the ghoul, but I would wait to see if Hexiros [MENTION=23298]industrygothica[/MENTION] wants to give you advantage? Trip it with his polearm? Or he could get in some extra damage. It only has 11 HP left, and doesn't have a zombie's fortitude, thankfully. He could kill it.

Templeton swung wildly at the darkness in a panic...he could smell the fetid, rotten flesh of the ghoul, he knew it was close, but his weapons found no purchase.

OOC: Whiff whiff! Those rolls hurt me!
attack ghoul w/disadvantage: 1D20+5 = [6]+5 = 11
1D20+5 = [20]+5 = 25

attack ghoul w/disadvantage offhand: 1D20+5 = [19]+5 = 24

Hexiros tries to help Zanword in finishing off the ghoul.

OOC: Sorry for the long absence. Back from camp and finally rested up.

 

[EarlyBird]

OOC: WB, might be best if you roll an attack with disadvantage, as poor Templeton has already gone.

 

[industrygothica]

Hexiros struggles to get his halberd through the small opening and poke at the undead thing.

​

Zanword gets in a slight cut as Templeton fights for his life. But it is the large blade and long pole of Hexiros's weapon that truly does some damage. Passing the blade by Zanword's head and using the paladin's shoulder to brace it, he saws at the foot of the attacking ghouls, hamstringing it as he pulls the blade back.

It howls in pain and hobbles away as best it's ruined foot can take it, giving the tunnelers the room they need.

Aridha lies on top of a casket a ghoul about to use its claws to disembowel here so it can feast on fresh meat and blood. It blocks the way of its cohort who angrily bites deep into the other monsters shoulder. Enraged the first ghoul backhands the second as they fight over who will get to eat the young druid first.

OOC: Still need death save from Aridha for this round.

"You will pay for making me make this trip." Zanword comments as he stretches getting up after the tunnel. Naked blade shines in the dark with greenish gold shine as he advances toward the ghouls. Quickly deciding to remove the most immediate threat to Aridha, he strikes at the ghoul closer to her. Fueled by his fear for her and anger at the undead in general, the blade bites as deep as it could while the anger lashes at the ghoul channeled through divine magic of his patron.

"Return to your graves, foul things! Your hunger serves you not, you will find only final rest here!" he smiles grimly, showing the blade which ichor darkens for a bit before it shines again.
"You will find me a better dance partner than the lass." he mock-bows behind his shield looking for an opportunity if the ghoul bolts.

Templeton fumbles in his pack. Panic subsides a bit as he hears Zanword's boisterous words. "You tells it to em Fancypants! Shows the bugger the wot for eh!"
Finding the items he needed by feel, he quickly strikes flint to steel and the resulting sparks cause the tarry resin of his torch to blaze to life.

Ooc: Use action to light torch
