He takes Col's suggestion to heart and aims for an eye.Kalen finds his opening by moving north, but his aim is poor, and the arrow flies to the right of its target. (Kalen moves 15', attack roll vs. zombie #2 with dark knowledge and firing into melee penalty: 6+0=6, Miss)Bael: Seeing Chongo in trouble, Bael switches his fire to the zombie grappling his companion.Another mystical bolt flies forth from the warmage's hands, striking the zombie which now has a hold on Chongo. The bolt slams into the undead, but its grip on the Olman remains. (Magic Missile hits zombie #3 for 5 damage; Z3 -5hp, moderately wounded)Keoni: Keoni scowls as he sees how little his spear blow affected the oncoming foe.  He lets the spear drop from his hand as he ducks underneath the clumsy grab of the dead man and his hand searches at his belt for the ceremonial dagger he keeps there. The gleaming blade in hand he swings again to his foe, this time ready to rend the creature apart with his own claw.  He tries to keep his shield inbetween himself and those teeth as his blade lashes out.Keoni's spear falls as he smoothly draws his silver dagger and slashes at the near zombie. His blade rends the thing's rotten flesh, leaving a putrid wound behind. (Keoni attack roll with dark knowledge: 17+2=19, HIT! Damage roll with aura of power =3; Zombie#2 -10hp, seriously wounded)Chongo: As the zombie's teeth tear into his skin, Chongo goes berserk. Lashing out with his free hand, he attempts to grab the zombie by the neck and force the undead off of him.Chongo's veins bulge as he enters a state of primal rage, but even so, he cannot force the strong undead thing away from him. (Grapple check to escape, Chongo roll 2+6=8, Zombie roll 13+4=17; Zombie wins, escape fails; 6 rounds remain for rage.)Zombie #1: The first zombie reaches out slowly for Anar, but the rogue senses its intent, and easily avoids its clumsy movement. (Z#1 attack roll 1, Auto miss)Zombie #2: The most wounded zombie gnashes its jaws as it tries to bite Keoni, but it also is too slow to catch the islander. (Z#2 attack roll 7+4=11, MISS)Zombie #3: The zombie which grapples Chongo bites down hard once more, despite the barbarian's struggles. This time the undead closes its awful jaws right on the Olman's face, leaving a savage, bloody wound! (Grapple check, Zombie rolls 16+4=20; Chongo rolls 7+6=13, zombie wins. Bites for 9 damage! Chongo now at 3/16 hit points)Anar: Anar realizes that to defeat these undead foes, the companions will have to combine their efforts. Thus, he aims his rapier at the same zombie that Keoni is fighting, hoping that their combined attacks may overwhelm the foul thing. He continues to stay on the defensive, though, just to be safe.His attack overly cautious, Anar's rapier fails to penetrate the zombie's leathery dead skin. (Attack roll 10+0=10, MISS)Col: The old man shakes his head and cries out widely, "No, you guttersnipes, their dead flesh only be open'n fer the cut'n blades. Poke'n them be as useful as air to a fish!" Col tosses his sickle towards the sailor Anar. "Use that, you damned fool!" He then draws his own dagger, its dark blade reflecting dully in the spear's light.Col's sickle lands near Anar with a clatter, where it may be retrieved by the rogue if desired.END ROUND 2Initiative Round 326: Kalen15: Bael14: Keoni (Aura: Power)12: Chongo (3/16hp, Grappled by Z3, Rage 6 rounds remain)8: Zombie Pirates (Z1: Unharmed; Z2: -10hp, Seriously Wounded; Z3: -5hp, Moderately Wounded, Grappling Chongo)5: Anar4: ColEffects: Dark Knowledge Tactics, +1 to Attack Rolls; Keoni's Aura: Power (+1 Melee Damage); Chongo Rage 6 Rounds Remain</blockquote>
