Two armored figures crouch behind the table, crossbows leveled. Two crossbow bolts snap at her as soon as she appears, both of them fortuitously missing the barely-standing rogue.  Her own throw arches up, and the tiny vial of fire breaks against the tabletop, causing a small fire, but splashing both of the priests. (Atk 11 hits, 4 fire dmg to table)Johanna and Broderick both charge out, laying into the zombies before they can react. Their attacks are almost choreographed, Johanna striking marginally faster, her blade biting deep into dead flesh. (22 hit, 10 dmg) Broderick's axe finishes the job, removing the zombie's head. (26 hit, 10 dmg) The heavy axe then slams into the zombie beside the first, crashing into its side (25 hit, 12 dmg)At just that moment, out of the mist behind and to the side of the two battlers, a figure comes tumbling. It is in fact Zeln, or Bloody Moe, whichever you prefer. Held in both of his hands is a longsword, which he tries to insert into Johanna's back. However, the wily rogue obviously misjudged his distance, and misses badly.Just at that point, Redbeard and Larren come out of the mist, and both of them lay into the rogue, with scimitar and morningstar. Larren bashes him with some force, rocking Zeln forward. (19 hits, 8 dmg)  Redbeard takes full advantage, scimitar slashing for the man's throat, stopped only by the edge of the light helm he wears. (20 threat, 5 fail, 5 dmg)Pauli, too, comes out of the mist, and his pulsating ball of ectoplasmic goo flies straight and true, wrapping Zeln in slime, slowing his movements. (22 hits)The remaining two zombies swing clumsily at Broderick, one club batted away easily, the other smacking into his shoulder. (-6 hp Broderick)OOC:Well, this time the bad guys had the really sucky round. About time for it, I reckon. I took some liberties with actions, trying to have the characters react to a changing situation. Most especially, I didn't have Redbeard use alchemist's fire, due to the close range of the situation.Note that both Jillian and Larren are still in the very northernmost edge of the mist effect.New Order of Initiative: Jillian, Dark Priests, Johanna, Broderick, Zeln, Larren, Redbeard, Pauli, Zombies[CODE]ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01...xxxxxxx...02...xxxxxxx...03...=pp=......04...xxxx.......05...xzxz.......06...xBJx.......................07...xPRZ.........................08...xxIL.........................09...xxxx...10...=xx=...11xxxxxxxxxx12xxxxxxxxxx[/CODE]</blockquote>
