*Diedrik continues singing and fails to take another action. Yuriko also remains standing in place, although in her case she is at least preparing for an attack.*
*To pick up the slack, Kirkesh shoots an arrow in a marvelous and flawless arc that takes out the undead's rotted heart. Unlike a living target, the undead is not vitally impeded by the loss of the heart, but after the beating it has taken from the force missiles, the evil spirit animating it is not enough to keep it standing and it implodes in around the hollow chest cavity, falling backwards, stilled.*
*Zaeryn keeps looking around in all directions, but he eventually turns back and fires three missiles of force at one of the other uninjured undead, slamming into it with concussive force and blowing away some of the rotted flesh.*
*Not quite as mindless and unthinking as they seem, the undead dart forward to attack, one circling slightly around Yuriko and her dangerous holy blade to strike at Diedrik, unable to reach the ones in the back who are actually attacking because Yuriko and Diedrik are in the way of any possible charge, as the injured one manages to find a trajectory that allows it to charge Kirkesh. Nonetheless, the clumsy slams of the undead are unable to harm the two nimble Rowaini.*
(OOC: Kirkesh's Attack 20 + 12 = 32, would have been a crit.
UndeadC takes 10 damage (would have been 30) and returns to the netherworld.
Zaeryn casts Magic Missile.
UndeadB takes 11 Damage
UndeadA's Attack 15 + 3 = 18, Miss
UndeadB's Attack 10 + 5 = 15, Miss
Everyone's Turn Again)

Description of area said:
OOC: Huh . . . based on the description, I thought that yuriko and diedrik were ahead of the pair and effectively preventing them from being attacked . . . otherwise it would be silly (being that the pair were basically guarding the others) just to stand there and allow the smart bad guys to run around to get to the juicy center. Ah well . . . live and learn.
*Yuriko steps up to the closest one to her and swings with her katana.*

(OOC: Actually, I just realised that Diedrik had a blade drawn--missed that on the last page. That means he gets an AoO on the one that charged Kirkesh. It's set up like this
Diedrik and Yuriko basically block access, but if the site didn't distort what I typed, you can see that B has a path to charge whereas A does not have any possibility to do so (of note, Yuriko and Diedrik's position also stopped any attack from the now-defeated C, who was in the middle and positioned such that he wouldn't have even needed to charge to hit Kirkesh but couldn't possibly attack them due to the obstruction of Diedrik and Yuriko). It gets an AoO from Diedrik though because it goes through two of his threatened squares.)
*Diedrik swipes at the charging undead as it passes, but his blade misses its mark.*
*Yuriko slices the uninjured undead twice with her blade of blessed jade and instantly slays it, its body sizzling as it is purified.*
(OOC: Diedrik's Attack 3 + 9 = 12, Miss.
Yuriko's Attacks 19 + 11 = 30, 15 + 11 = 26, Two Hits.
UndeadA takes 28 Damage and is defeated)

*Zaeryn hurls another volley of magic missiles at the undead creature that has charged Kirkesh, if others cannot handle it.*
[SBLOCK=OOC]Zaeryn will delay to give Diedrik and Kirkesh a chance to act first. Not that it’s going to matter much now, but do you think we could have stayed with a fixed sequence instead of randomising which PC goes when.
