Round 4
Kathalia snaps weakly at the golem as it rampages over her, and Hacker's feeble kick makes him glad it's pretty dark in the cave, and hard to see. Atreus manages to scratch the golem as it passes, but to little effect.
Hacker's penetrating voice rouses Kathalia, restoring some energy. Without standing, she slips back into human form and, calling on the magic of her necklace, clears her eyes back to normal.
Atreus readies himself to fling his magic dagger again, calling instructions to Woe.
Woe's knee impacts the goblin's face sharply, sending teeth and goblin flying to the ground. Though groggy, Woe heroically taunts his much smaller foe. Atreus sends his dagger flying true again, cutting the goblin.
The flesh golem, blood streaming down its massive chests in dirty runnels, howls, "YOU NO SAY MEAN THING! YOU GET SMASH!" Suiting word to deed, he hammers Kathalia into the ground like a recalcitrant tent peg. She drops, senseless and bleeding heavily. Then, with a burst of energy, the golem pounds on Hacker for good measure, sending blood trickling from one ear.
The last remaining zombie turns its jaws on Atreus. Despite having a clear head, the human can't avoid its bite, and loses a chunk of muscle from his forearm.
"Ahhhahahahaha," cackles the goblin from the ground, spitting teeth. "Soon, now! Yes, you'll see. Soon!" He shoves the everburning torch into a thick leather sack lined with fur, completely hiding its light. The tunnel plunges into complete blackness. Many of you hear the goblin's not-quite-suppressed cackling as he crawls away from Woe.
[sblock=ooc]Woe fails his save against dazed. Which is good, since if he'd made it, that could have led to a massive retcon.
Hacker's and Kathalia's OAs miss. Atreus hits for 4 damage.
Hacker uses his second majestic word, bringing K up to 13. She slides SW. The golem is no longer Hacker's prey, nor does it have -2 to hit from Hacker. Hacker doesn't save.
Kathalia shifts back to human form. She uses her amulet to turn failure into success for her save vs. blindness, but is still dazed and prone. The golem's -2 penalty to attack rolls expires.
Atreus readies an attack. He saves vs. dazed.
Woe charges the goblin, hitting it for 5 and knocking it prone and marking it. Atreus' readied attack fires. It hits, but the prone condition only grants CA for melee attacks, so no sneak attack damage. Still 11 damage, though. Woe's mark expires from the golem. He doesn't save vs. dazed.
Flesh golem hits Kathalia twice, 25 and 29 vs. AC for 22 total damage. She's dying again, and still dazed. It -- he, apparently -- uses an AP to attack Hacker, hitting once (22 vs. AC) for 9 damage. Hacker is bloodied. And of course, I forgot CA again, so all the rolls should be +2 higher; outcome unchanged though.
The zombie steps up to Atreus and bites at him, 17 vs. AC hits exactly for 4 damage.
The goblin puts the torch into a pouch (move action). It sustains the vexing cloud (minor), and it crawls... somewhere, but makes a lot of noise doing it. Stealth check 12; those with 12 passive perception know that it's in I21. It's complete darkness in the cave now; everyone has total concealment from everyone else. Unless, you know, someone happens to have darkvision.
The map represents last known positions.
