beneath Stonegate
Pauly and Redbeard both hesitate a moment, awaiting developments, the ectoplasmic ball of goo sort of hovering above Pauly's hand in a faintly disturbing fashion, pulsating and slurping wetly.
A figure emerges from the shadows, dressed in a chain shirt, and black leathers, the symbol of the ebon flame etched onto the light helm he wears. A crackling aura of dark flames surrounds him. Jillian recognizes him as one of the rogues she's met from time to time in the streets above. He was using the name Bloody Moe then, and it fit his rather brutal style of back alley muggings and murder. He disappeared perhaps a year ago, when he had drawn the full attention of the Thane and the city guard. Now apparently he is Zeln of the Ebon Flame. Or perhaps he always was.
In any case, Pauly's ectoplasm flies at him, and he grins darkly as he ducks under it, without pausing. (Atk 12 misses) Then he lifts a light crossbow, takes careful aim, and fires it at Larren. The bolt is well aimed, but Larren's new breastplate blunts much of the otherwise lethal shot. (-9 hp Larren)
Jillian's arrow finds its mark in the zombie she aimed at (Atk 17 hit) but simply hangs in the dead flesh. (Dmg 4-5=0)
From the shadows, a voice calls for blessings in the name of the Ebon Flame, while another calls down down imprecations of woe upon the adventurers. (Will Saves: Pauly 9 fail, Redbeard 21 save, Broderick 20 save, Johanna 8 fail, Larren 11 fail, Jillian 5 fail.) Pauly, Johanna, Larren, and Jillian all feel a wave of malice wash over them, blighting their minds, and demoralizing them. (-1 to atk and saves vs. fear)
Perhaps it is the bolt sticking in his upper chest, or the horror sweeping over him, but Larren finds he just can't seem to focus properly on the power of change, life, and entropy. (Turn Check 3, no effect)
Redbeard reads off the scroll, and the area of the doorway is surrounded by an obscuring mist, making it hard to distinguish things further then 5' away.
Johanna's greatsword chops into the zombie nearest her, one of the "doormen" (Atk 11 hits, 11 dmg) the blade chopping deep in dead flesh, yet the thing remains.
Broderick chops away at the same zombie, deciding its best to take down one foe then hurt two. His axe (atk 16 hits, 9 dmg) finishes what Johanna started, bringing the undead thing to the ground.
The remaining doorman swings a crude club at Broderick, but the dwarf easily bats it away. No further zombies emerge from the mist, and the group is unable to see beyond it into the room.
