Oh yeah! Them spell slots are gonna be mighty precious! Oh well.

Given that we are in a fairly desperate situation and need to get behind the gates quickly, I'd say it was a good use! Unused spell slots aren't much use when you're dead.

Don't think I wasn't briefly tempted to use my teleport to go behind the zombies and then get to the gates...

I think most of the monster in 2024 have been buffed but, from what I can tell their hp have always been this many.

Good use of smite! Which brings up a question...

@TaranTheWanderer IIRC did you say this was a one-night party? Asking for a friend.... named Ricksource O'Management.

Yeah, it is a one night stand...but you will be leveling as we go so you'll get more slots.

I'm going to wait on @Neurotic to post. Next post from me, advancing the story, will be tomorrow.

Not that I would ever look at the monster manual while playing (looks sidelong at the book sitting near the desk), but I think 5e 2024 zombies have around 15 hp. Nevertheless, I always enjoy a good challenge - keeps things exciting!

D&D beyond has them at 22hp. Weird. Maybe those are the old ones?

Well, these are fresh zombies! The added flesh makes them hardier.

It turns out I was looking at the legacy zombies which have more hp than 2024. Looks like these two were 20th level fighters before they became zombies. That's why they're tougher

All the more epic for our first level peons!

I was going to object to calling us peons, but I'm not here to kink shame.
