The Bold Adventures of Poins--In the Woods!

[RillianPA]

ooc: Well that's unwelcome news. Very well, same plan but retreat through the DOOR instead of the HOLE.

 

[jkason]

"That could have gone better..." the little sorcerer mumbles sheepishly. With the others, he rushes for the door.

"I know how much you boys like to hit things and all, but I vote we bolt the door behind us and let the countryside deal with the zombies."

 

[Rhialto]

Unfortunately, the door is bolted. From the other side.

It's going to take a lot of effort to get the door open.

And the zombies are starting to get up.

 

[Brain]

Hemaor says to the others, "Stick together, guard each other's backs. This might get ugly.

He hefts his axe and lays into the nearest Zombie.

 

[RillianPA]

"I'm with you Hemaor." Marcus draws his axe and attacks the same zombie, or if Hemaor has finished it, the one next to it.

"Lets try to cut our way to the hole along one wall."

 

[Legend]

Norani swears under his breath, and releases another arrow at a nearby zombie (preferably one that is already damaged).

"Great. And I don't know a single spell for scaring off undead," Liev grumbles. Then the grumble builds as the boy's hands glow red-hot. Opening his mouth on an invocation that sounds like nothing so much as the roar of a small dragon, Liev shoves his palms outward. A cone of flame shoots from them and into the undead throng.

OOC: [sblock]Cast Burning Hands at the zombies. Reflex DC 14, Damage 1d4. Trying to catch as many as I can in the cone (so probably aiming for those that are furthest from us, depending on range).[/sblock]

Marcus's axe chops down at the zombie before him, cutting an amazing chunk out of its stomach, sending guts flying--but the thing clings to its twisted mockery of life.. Hemaor, some ways a way, attacks the zombie before him, and with a lucky stroke, cuts it cleanly in two. Hemaor's wolf attacks the beast Marcus chopped, pulling out its organs until it stops moving. Devon slices at the zombie before him,cutting it across the chest. Norani's arrow streaks over the zombie he tries to hit--Liev's flames do not, scorching five zombies, who seem just a tad uglier from his efforts. As the zombies stand up, Marcus chops at the one before Hemaor's wolf, while the wolf takes a healthy bite out of its flank, upsetting it again, then spits out the rotten meat. As the one before Liev stands up, Hemaor takes a swipe at it that leaves it trailing awkwardly, while Liev jabs it with his spear sending it falling motionless to the ground. Finally Devon takes another swing at his zombie, and misses.

As it now stands, the group has downed three zombies, and wounded quite a few more. However, the zombies are now all standing up, except for one. And Norani is surrounded by three of them--though not flanked, thankfully.

The advantage of being the ones who know what's going on is over. Now the zombies are ready, and the combat really begins.

 

[Brain]

Hemaor speaks in an attempt to organize the group. "Yeah, that's it. Concentrate on taking 'em out. Work together, and stay together. Help out Norani!"

Hemaor fights, taking his own advice for strategy, staying next to his wolf.

 

[jkason]

"Help Norani?" Liev says a bit incredulously, then turns to see the elf's predicament. As he rushes over, stabbing at one of the creatures, he blurts out, "But you're a priest, aren't you? I thought undead were supposed to be scared of you guys or something."
