(OOC: We still need the Dwarves, even if they just decide to re-ready the same actions--I'm guessing it's the ENWorld site slowdown that's holding us up)

OOC: I think the dwarves were played by some guys in school, using the campus computers to play online. I guess they didn't schedule any summer classes.

I propose that we have Rystil run them as NPCs until the players return, or until new players can replace them.
How does everyone feel about this?

(OOC: With no objections, I shall do so--sorry for the delay, I had serious connection troubles)

*The dwarves ready attacks for the first zombies to come into range. And, of course, that is just what happens, as the remaining zombies pour forward, the weight of their rotting bodies slamming against the front line presented by the dwarves, as they both swing and injure one of the attacking zombies while holding off the overpowering stench of death. Hasin and Droggle each take one hit, and while they are surrounded by a near wall of undeath, several more zombies slip past towards the clerics, though they are unable to attack just yet.*

(OOC: Each of the PCs gets another action)

*The dwarves attack again, and though Hasin's attack swings wide, Droggle chops his injured zombie in twain.*

Posting this again for convienence (or however its spelled)

Self said:
Anything that doesn't have a pulse that gets past the dwarves triggers a turn undead attempt
Turn Undead 4/day (60ft., d20+3 to turn, 2d6+3 damage)

And so you don't have to wait for me,
Jace's Intended actions:
1. Cast Bless for self and allies.
2. Swap crossbow for morningstar.
3. Cast Protection from Evil on self.
4. Hurl flasks of oil into the throngs of undead
5. Target as many of the oil-laden undead as possible with Jace's Burning Hands spell.

EDIT: OOPS! Anything that gets up next to Jace gets whacked with a morningstar (+1 to attack, 1d8 damage) or a gauntlet, depending on Jace's state of readiness.
Click to expand...
If I read Rystil's post right, then I need to turn undead:
Turning check; Turning damage (Cleric 2) (1d20+3=9, 2d6+3=13)
I think that means Jace destroys up to 13 HD worth of 1HD undead within 60ft. and turns none.

Enheartened by his two successful turns, Dorrin tries once more to push some of the unholy minions away. However, the thick amounts of unholy energy presented by the crowd of undead means his pulse of positive energy is weakened drastically.

(OOC: Oops, I thought that was Valan's last turn, but you're right)

*With so many failed attempts to send them away, it is no surprise that the advancing zombie horde is able to inflict major wounds on the staunch heroes. Fortunately for the clerics, there aren't that many zombies close enough to attack them, but the dwarves do not fare so well. Hasin is on the edge of collapse, and Droggle is badly injured as well. Hasin responds by slashing another zombie's head off, perhaps his last act, as many other undead close around him, and Droggle wounds another, taking off an arm.*

(OOC: As far as the Clerics, Valan takes 4 Damage and Dorrin takes 3

Clerics' Turn)

AC 17, HP 11 of 14

Dorrin presents his holy symbol once more commanding the undead to leave. Not feeling a huge surge of positive energy flow through him, Dorrin tries to refocus the power of Grendath and push more energy through his holy symbol. However, only a meager showing of light trickles off his holy symbol... Only one more...

Dorrin's Fourth Turn (1d20+2=14, 2d6+4=9)
Don't think that's strong enough so using the Luck Domain Reroll...
Dorrin's Fourth Turn (try two) (1d20+2=9, 2d6+4=7)
*Fizzle* (oh, and sorry about rerolling turning damage. Shouldn't count for turning anyways, my bad.)

Valan will stride forward if he needs to, avoiding the rotting hands as best as he can. He'll attempt to heal Hasin. Don't let them hit you. He says unnecessarily.
Taking a half a moment Valan will look over there foes, any sign of the spectre?

ooc: Well, for some reason I thought these things were tougher than normal Zombies. Eh, you win some, you die some.

Edit: You know how silly someone can get after a long time away? Well, for some reason, I thought I only turned 2 HD creatures with the +1 level turn. Kinda forgot I was second level. Wow, now I feel pretty dumb.

*Jace switches for a more appropriate weapon, as Dorrin's luck eludes him like so much sand sifting through his fingers. Valan gives a quick prayer and heals Hasin on the defensive. Meanwhile, the undead continue their advance and their assault. Droggle is hit again and seems on the verge of collapsing. Hasin too takes a heavy blow, but Valan's healing keeps the dwarf on his feet. For his troubles, however, Valan is bludgeoned again by a meaty fist infused with necrotic power, and even Jace takes a hit this time, though his morningstar is able to ward off the undead before too many can reach him. Valan notices the incorporeal creature, but it is nestled deep within the mob of zombies, quite safe from any possible turning attempt.*

*Droggle decides to fight defensively lest he fall, and luckily, his attack still strikes through, dropping another zombie. Hasin also fights defensively and gets an extremely lucky blow, but sadly, even though he pierces through where the heart would be, these things have no need for human organs, and the zombie just keeps coming.*

(OOC: Oops, looks like the Nat20 was no help to Hasin.

Valan takes 3 Damage, Dorrin takes 5, Jace takes 5 as well.

Clerics' turn)

3. Cast Magic Weapon on morningstar.
4. Hurl flasks of oil into the throngs of undead
5. Target as many of the oil-laden undead as possible with Jace's Burning Hands spell.

Jace tries to shake off the blow and cast his spell, pausing long enough to call out, "should I burn them or just bruise them?"
