Alfonso dances with the dead thing, tossing it blows and parrying it's clumsy claw slashes. He see's an opening and
thrusts his greastsword! (1d20+6=15) It seems to have anticipated the attack though, and dances away from Alfonso's powerful blow.
Meanwhile the green-eyed dead thing, deprived of it's target,
turns on Ma-Barak. (1d20+1=3, 1d20+1=5). But it has no chance against his thick armor. The giant begins to whimper though, and you can can hear the wretched mind-voice egging him on, taunting him.
Yossarid draws his shortspear and with one fluid motion
tosses it into the melee (1d20+1-4=4) with the dead thing. The throw was off however, and the spear passes the dead thing to strike the far wall and clatter to the floor.
On the other side of the tower, Yina screams as the mind-voice teases her with foul promises, "I stand for freedom, creature bound by darkness, and I will not be bound to serve you!" She swings her massive greataxe in the hopes of
severing something. (1d20+3=9). The mind-voice must be getting to her though, as her swing goes wide.
Taking advantage of Yina's well-meaning but misplaced swing, the dead thing
slashes at her (1d20+1=9, 1d20+1=19)with both claws and scores
another hit (1d4+1=5) along her flank. The young champion of freedom seems to be teetering on her last legs as blood begins seeming from the wounds the blasphemous dead things has dealt her.
At the same time, the blue-eyed dead thing launches itself in a flurry against Alfonso, but his armor takes the brunt of the thing's questing claws and he is safe for the moment.
Ma-Barak, his eyes open wide and bulging in fright, backs up a step towards the tower door that you just entered. He looks like he might make a run for it soon, though he keeps his sword weaving in total defense of himself at the moment.
Daro, noting that these brave souls looking nothing like the Broken Blades, attempts to pierce the minds of the dead things using his strange magics... he locates the corrupted and putrified mind of his former kin-folk and launches a massive mental attack. The creature doesn't even flinch as it continues it's battle with Alfonso.
...ahh, another one to serve me as these do... we'll deal with you shortly, you hear.
Seeing the dire plight of his friends, Strahm fights down the fear welling up inside of him and faces the corrupt mockeries of life that stand before him. Thinking that, as the power of the Dark flows through them, the power of the Green might return them to rest, he
reaches out (1d20+0=4) in an attempt to infuse the dead-thing with the peace and tranqulity of life itself. The dead thing seems quite capable of handling Alfonso and Strahm's flanking though, and the lithoran can't seem to lay his hand upon it (OOC: your Infuse w/ Life ability is not used up until you successfully touch either the dead thing or a companion).
Battlefield Situation:
* Yina is battling one-on-one with the yellow-eyed dead thing by the cubby hole. Yina is obviously on her last legs.
* 10 feet away, Alfonso & Strahm are flanking the blue-eyed dead thing.
* 10 feet from them, and also 10 feet from Yina, Yossariad & Ma-Barak are fighting the green-eyed dead thing, though Ma-Barak seems to be on the brink of running away.
* A strange red-wine colored newcomer with a staff seemingly made from ebony has just appeared in the doorway to the tower (roughly 5 feet behind Alfonso). He has attacked the dead things with some strange magic, but it didn't seem to do anything.
