Round 2 (con't)
Ashnar's spell is again effective, although the zombie still attacks, heedless of the quivering lumps of flesh torn from its bones by the spell. Fortunately Ashnar's mage armor prevents the claws from touching his body.
The room now seems small, as the swirling mayhem encompasses almost all the space. The sole light source is held in Rinaldo's left hand, as he constantly adjusts his sheild position to defend against the zombies. The party can only just hear the clash of arms and the shouts of their comrades over the high pitched wail of the undead. Clumps of oozing flesh and limp bone fly across the room, accompanied by the splattered blood of the living. Each blow to the undead only increases the fetit stench rapidly thickening in the still air.
Rinaldo adjusts his stance to avoid flanking, and stabs out at the armless zombie next to him. His rapier penetrates where the creature's stomach should have been, but there is no visible effect on the creatures attacks. (4 pts - all covered by DR)
Somac tries to step back to continue to use his long glaive, but finds there is little room to maneuver. Stepping back puts either the stairway or Nurlan in the way of attacking his former opponent. Circling to find an opening, he dashes around Tenebryn and brings down his new glaive on the elf's opponent, chopping through its skull and into its chest. This massive wound affects even the walking dead, as it drops to the stone floor and moves no more.
Tor targets Ashnar's attacker with his spiked chain. Again he strikes, pulling another clump of flesh off, but not reducing the ferocity of its attack (8 pts, reduced to 3)
His opponent downed, Tenebryn turns his attention to the one attacking Nurlan. Dropping his staff, the elf whips out his dagger and slashes it at the zombie's chest. He can feel it catch on soft bone and ligament, but continue tearing through, making a huge gash in its torso, exposing rotting organs. (7 pts)
