Final words...

[Autumn]

"Why hello again," Kae calls out mockingly as she moves quickly to take more secure cover - preferably with a solid wall in between her and that crossbow. "It's interesting. Most dumb animals learn not to fall for the same bait twice, but I guess you're stupider than most. Ah well, keep it up... maybe this time you'll really catch me..." She gives a derisive laugh.

 

[ajanders]

There isn't any more cover available: the only other thing Kae could do would be get in or behind the guard shack and break her line of sight to Manticore: that would prevent her from attacking pretty much anyone at this point.

Zook is up.

 

[Autumn]

Kae goes for the guard shack. She's not interested in attacking, she's waiting for James to turn up with the cavalry.

 

[Moggthegob]

Zook buckles down and casts his cure light wounds spell on his hand, readying to tag the first zombie that tries to get past his cover. Mostly he is scared to death and feels out of options
" Olladra help me!!" he says quietly.

 

[ajanders]

The two Emerald claw mooks cheer at Zook's retreat and turn their crossbows on Sedar. One arrow misses, one flies true.

Mook shots at Sedar (1d20+2=10, 1d20+2=22) Critical threat.

1d20+2=5 Threat fails.

A bolt thuds into Sedar's chest, driving into his lung.
bolt damage (1d8=8)
Sedar takes 8 points of damage from the bolt.

The tidal wave of zombies surges towards Zook, eyes lit with a fiendish desire to crack open his skull and eat his tender gnomish brains. The barricade Zook has been using for cover begins to creak as the zombies batter their undead flesh against it!!
"CLLLLLLAAAAAAAWWWWWW!!!"
"CLLLLLLAAAAAAAWWWWWW!!!"
"CLLLLLLAAAAAAAWWWWWW!!!"
"CLLLLLLAAAAAAAWWWWWW!!!"
"CLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!"

Against the howls of the undead horde comes the inspiring strains of the Brelish national anthem.
Everyone except the zombies suddenly feels more courageous, gaining a +1 bonus to fear and charm saves, weapon damage, and to hit.

Zook, you may take your readied action now.

The order is:
Kae
Zook
Emerald Claw Mooks
Zombies
Rethlin
Bandanna Man Manticore
Sedar

Note the change: the Bandanna Man (Bonewright) has disappeared inside. Manticore has come out. That's a typo, not an action.

Rethlin is up.

 

[Moggthegob]

touch attack,cure light wounds damage (1d20=7, 1d8+2=10)
unless these zombies have exceptionally bad dex zook fails to hit them

 

[ajanders]

Mogg, don't forget to add in the +1 to hit from James singing.
Zook still misses, but don't forget.

 

[Moggthegob]

i did. I have 0 BAB and it takes both bless and James' song I make up for my -2 to my strength score.

 

[JRYoung]

OOC: Zook and the Zombies seem to be well within 60 feet of the guard shack where Rethlin has cover, which is within Turn Undead range. Let me know Ajanders if line of effect is blocked to the Zombies by the barricade.

Rethlin drops his bow to his feet (free action), brandishes his holy symbol and calls upon the power of the Silver Flame to repel the Zombies. "Back foul creatures, by the Silver Flame I cast you back!".

Turn Undead check and damage (1d20-1=13, 2d6=6)
Excellent! That is good for 2HD creatures, a total of 6 HD.

He then takes a 5 ft step behind the wall of the guard shack for better cover!

 

[ajanders]

Rethlin's voice rings with divine power as the Silver Flame answers his call.
Whips of holy fire spring from his brow and lash at the zombies, driving three of them back in mewling terror.
(You have turning momentum, for lack of a better phrase, and may turn again next round. Is Rethlin getting entirely behind the shack and breaking line of sight, like Kae, or just taking cover?)

Sedar is not up yet: I need to run Manticore first.
Sorry.
