Round 2
Hacker bellows orders, causing Woe to back away from the monstrous golem and Kathalia to shake off much of her pain. Hacker assaults the golem's mind with a twisting melody, but finds too little of it there to affect this time.
Woe, clothing still afire, dizzily points his spear in the general direction of the flesh golem and bellows taunts.
Atreus hurls his dagger with pinpoint accuracy, sinking it deep in the flesh golem's patchwork chest before it magically returns to his hand. Atreus hugs the wall, somehow hiding himself completely in the few inches of clinging shadows there.
Kathalia burns, and fires her bow again. Her arrow passes beneath one of the golem's arms, only scratching it. The flames licking at her clothing sputter and expire.
The golem shrieks pain. NOT BORROWED! IS MINE! WHY YOU SO MEAN?" it bellows in an inhuman voice. It advances, ignoring the flicker of lightning from Woe's spear, swinging two of its heavy fists at Woe. It appears to be hampered by the flames, though; neither blow connects.
Two of the zombies lumber forward, hunching over between the flesh golem's legs, and bite at Woe and Kathalia. Their teeth are sharp and surprisingly accurate; both take painful bites on their legs.
The hexer moves forward into the cloud, capering and laughing at the carnage. "For the master! He is watching us!" it cackles. It waves its arms dramatically, and the noxious vapors drift forward, choking more of the tunnel. Almost as an afterthought, it directs a curse at Kathalia, but the incantation fails to take hold.
[sblock=ooc]Woe slides to G15 from Hacker's virtue of cunning.
Hacker designates the Golem as prey. Blunder misses. Majestic Word heals Kathalia 13, and she is no longer bloodied. She slides to F15.
Woe burns for 5 damage and readies his spear to attack with +1 square reach when the golem approaches within range. He doesn't save. Woe's mark expires.
Atreus hits with sly flourish for 12 damage. Can't hide, since there's nowhere to get improved cover or total concealment in this tunnel. Best you can do is normal cover in D14, I think. You know what? I'm going to say you're hidden anyway, since it was a nat 20 on stealth. That's hidden from all enemies. This is not a precedent.
I did put you in D14, too.
Kathalia burns for 5 damage. Her longbow attack misses. She saves and is no longer dazed.
The golem moves forward. Woe's readied attack fires, and misses due to concealment. It double attacks Woe. Nat 2 and 4 both miss; can it be that the Punishment Patrol's luck is turning? This might trigger virtue of cunning again, which may change later things slightly.
Zombies 1 and 2 charge past the golem. Z1 hits Kathalia for 4 damage with 19 vs. AC. Z2 hits Woe with 27 vs. AC for 4 damage. That's more like it! Woe is bloodied again.
The Hexer sustains the cloud, moving it to be centered on G18. (So Woe and Kathalia are inside it). The Hexer moves forward, and attacks Kathalia with stinging hex: 10 vs. Will misses.

Kathalia's bow clatters to the ground as she is rapidly transformed into her wolf-form (OOC: Wild shape). The dark splotches all over her body shimmer in the relative darkness of the cave.
She quickly bites at one zombie, and then the other, trying to cut them down quickly while sending some earthen healing in the general direction of Woe (OOC: Darting bite (without mods) hits zombie one reflex 17 for 11 damage, misses zombie two for 12 damage. Kathalia will use elven accuracy to reroll attack roll on zombie two - that hits reflex 20. If elven accuracy attack hits, Woe spends a surge. If either attack hits, Kathalia shifts two squares west from her power, and uses her remaining action to use her screaming hide power on the golem (-2 attack rolls TSNT). If for some reason Kathalia misses both targets, she will instead shift one square west. )

[sblock=Virtue of Cunning]Hey Ken, how about Hacker sliding Woe to F14?
That way, Zombie 2's charge on Woe is invalidated and Woe can charge the golem on his own turn. As is, Woe is unable to attack the golem with anything but the same basic reach attack due to being dazed.
Thanks for the healing, nerdy, I think you just took out both zombies.

[/sblock]Dunamin: Don't forget Woe has a +1 bonus to his damage rolls until our next rest.
"Aw, *****, no," says Hacker, walking forward, "That just ain't gonna work, boys and girl. Woe, you're gonna just bee-bop your twinkletoes back a couple of paces and smash those walking mounds of rotten meat." (Move: to E12. Virtue of Cunning: Slide Woe to F14.)
"And as for you, you big ***** cry-baby," yells Hacker at the flesh golem, "Suck it up! Die like a gnome, you raggedy-***** glob of mix-and-match muti-****-lated autopsy rejects." (Standard Action: Dissonant Strain on Flesh Golem -- v. Will (1d20+8=26, 2d6+7=12). Probably a hit. The golem has a -2 to attacks until Hacker's EONT. Also, Woe makes a saving throw versus the fire/daze effect.)
Spend Action Point. Standard Action: Misdirected Mark on Flesh Golem --v. Reflex (1d20+8=27, 1d8+7=15). Golem is marked by Woe until Hacker's EONT.
"Now, let me add a little insult to your injury," says Hacker, vigorously strumming a tune on his banjo...

In a split second, Atreus strides from his hiding place and hurls his dagger again at the golem. The dagger spins brilliantly and slices parts of the golems flesh before returning to his hand. Then he slides back to his hiding place.
[sblock=Actions]
Standard Action: Deft Strike: Moves to F12 and attacks golem with his magic dagger(ranged). Hits AC 28 and does 16 damage(sneak attack included)
Move Action: moves back to D14
Minor Action: Nothing

To Covaithe: Thanks for being large about the hide attempt

[sblock=Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chan-ges]Since Woe slid west when the golem missed, the zombie's charge attack against him applies to Kathalia instead. So Woe gets 4 HP back and isn't bloodied, and K takes 4 more damage and is bloodied.
Intermediate results: K kills both zombies. I think just Woe is up, yes?
