He steps to the side, drawing his spear, then sets his stance carefully, as a tidal current washes over his legs. Remaining upright, he hurls the spear at the hideous robed skeleton, only to see his weapon sail to the thing's left where it lands harmlessly with a splash. A terrible laugh escapes the cleric's bony mandible as the spear misses.Crying once more, "Death! Death comes for you all at the hands of Veldimar Krund!" the undead enemy wades resolutely forward, its eyeless gaze locked on Keoni. Chongo takes the moment of opportunity, and swings his flail hard at the monstrosity. He connects with a loud thump, but the Olman can only look on in alarm as the undead cleric seems utterly unaffected by his weapon. Bael's magic missile is more effective, thankfully! The warmage sees the undead cleric come into view, and utters his words of arcane might. The glowing bolt of force slams into the robed undead cleric, staggering it and evoking a snarled curse. Still on its feet, the cleric begins to chant a spell of its own. Chongo and Anar seize the moment, trying to disrupt the thing's spell with their weapons, but the flail and sickle both fail to penetrate the rusty chainmail worn beneath the monster's clerical vestments. The cleric reaches forth and grabs Keoni's arm, and the dragon shaman cries out as a nasty, bloody wound opens up at Krund's touch. "Ha ha ha! Die!"Anar, now that the enemy is right next to him, abandons his efforts at hiding, and strikes out with his borrowed sickle once again. Still, the blade fails to penetrate the undead cleric's armor.Col, seeing that the bulk of the party has chosen to stand and fight, rather than withdraw, moves carefully to a better vantage point, then begins to incant the words that will summon a celestial porpoise to aid in the fray.END ROUND 2[sblock=Round 2 Mechanics]Chongo readies attack with flail.Bael readies casting of Magic Missile.Kalen moves 15(30) feet to the east, heading back for dry ground.Keoni moves 5(10) feet, drawing a spear as he does.
