Rurm sustains a blow, but grits his teeth and keeps fighting. Many of the zombies are damaged – that one missing a hand, unnatural cold having eaten away skin at that one's feet, another with a gaping spear wound, and yet another with a silver mace lodged in its head! Blocking an attack, Russet calls up to Jack, “What can you see from up there, Jack?”From his vantage point and the strange way your party’s light is diminished by the illusory wall, Jack can see faint traces of an arcane runic circle around the edges of the circular room's floor. They ever so faintly flicker in the dim light, like distant lightning. Either it wasn’t there before and you just noticed it…or it was activated by the zombies’ movement.Alma can sense abjuration magic growing in intensity from beyond the illusory wall; it feels like a high-pitched prickle on the back of her skull.Suddenly, the dwarves’ shield wall is broken, and one of the zombies grapples Brydum, dragging him deeper into the circular room. "Aargh! Wait! That's the Dain's Horn! We need that to reach the temple's last level!" He cries out, gesturing to the war horn (for blowing) slung over the zombie's shoulder.[GM]Top of initiative - go in any order you like!From current positions, everyone (besides [USER=6746292]@Aethmud[/USER] , Russet, and dwarven NPCs) can only see zombie at base of stairs – the one whose hand Ludo tore off – which has 3/4 cover (from your current positions), i.e. +5 AC and +5 DEX saves.INITIATIVE3.
