[Goonalan]

He swings with all his might, howling his anger lke never before.

And another attack goes wide!!

OOC: Howling Strike

This is desperate now, another of Krogan's attacks sails high and wide...

[Pinotage]

Kazzagin

"No!" Kazzagin screamed as the massive fists pummeled into Len, and the warrior's neck snapped like a twig. For what seemed like ages Len's body hung in the air, before falling to the floor with a thud that Kazzagin would not forget. One more brave warrior dead. One more who didn't deserve it. One more Bottom Dweller gone. Pelor would lift him up.

Dejection and fear started to flood him, but Krogan's continuing assault stirred primal rage in the paladin of freedom. "Aaaghhh!" he cried before jumping up and slamming the holy power of Pelor into the ogre zombie. The flesh burnt and sizzled as Kazzagin ripped the blade out at an angle that would tear and rend flesh. "While I still be breathing, you be destroyed!" he growled.

OOC: Standard - Holy Strike 22 vs Zombie Ogre - Damage 10 hp radiant damage (20 hp with Vulnerability).

"No!" Kazzagin screamed as the massive fists pummeled into Len, and the warrior's neck snapped like a twig. For what seemed like ages Len's body hung in the air, before falling to the floor with a thud that Kazzagin would not forget. One more brave warrior dead. One more who didn't deserve it. One more Bottom Dweller gone. Pelor would lift him up.

Dejection and fear started to flood him, but Krogan's continuing assault stirred primal rage in the paladin of freedom. "Aaaghhh!" he cried before jumping up and slamming the holy power of Pelor into the ogre zombie. The flesh burnt and sizzled as Kazzagin ripped the blade out at an angle that would tear and rend flesh. "While I still be breathing, you be destroyed!" he growled.

OOC: Standard - Holy Strike 22 vs Zombie Ogre - Damage 10 hp radiant damage (20 hp with Vulnerability).

And tear and rend flesh is exactly what Kazz's blade does, suddenly the great undead creature stands still, looks for a second at its hand, blue-crazed light flickers beneath the creatures skin forming tesselated patterns- the lightning blue spreads beneath the creatures skin. It rushes through rent veins and ripped arteries, leaps and lutches through the Zombie Ogre's broken body.

Till all the creature is a maze of blue- shining through the skin...

The Zombie Ogre looks again at its hand, which is slowly at first melting away- between the myriad blue lines small random shaped pieces of the giant are atrophying and then turning to dust.

The creature looks at both hands- which are now nothing more than stumps- it's mouth agape in terror.

Suddenly it lurches forward, the rot spreads and the creature slips forward as its knees rot and disappear- in a silent scream the creature falls forward, now almost limbless, nothing to prevent its fall.

"BoooooooOOF!"

It thumps hard in to the ground and shatters in fragments and dust, here and there pools of blue radiant energy- like lightning, surge and spider across the stone floor.

Kazz is briefly illuminated, his sword shimmers.

[sblock=Kazz]
And you get 1d6 Temp HP, see below
[/sblock]

The creature is no more.

The Dwarfs share a brief smaile and then look up as the second Zombie Ogre charges... straight at Cinara, catching her but only a graze.

[sblock=ZO#1 Readied Action]
Readied Action: Charge Cinara- Hit 9 damage (did you see that roll), the gods are smiling- at last.

Tears began to well at the edges of Mardred's eyes as another of his kinsmen is destroyed. A sudden, resolute determination coursed through his chest. If we die, we die together, he swore silently.

Len

Len sees the blow as if in slow motion, and hears the crack. Then two images seem to superimpose onto each other - he's standing there facing the ogre, and he's falling, looking up. then he hears his comrades' shouts of despair and anger, but he no longer feels the pain. He looks around and up from his two perspectives, until one begins to fade, and he's just standing, but somehow taller than before - he's looking the ogre in its undead eyes. The undead eyes of a killer, his killer he realises, as his spirit continues to rise.

As the fight continues, the edges of his vision blurs, his existence has ended, the flesh destroyed, the world fading fast. This is how it ends, like this, just fading, nothing finished, The Lost Hold still lost, the Bottom Dwellers still held down, its not right, not like this, his companions in danger, unable to help, he must help, if only he could help, but he can't help, there's no way, nothing physically possible, his body lies unmoving below him, nothing physically possible ..... nothing physically possible, but maybe ..... 'BOTTOMS UP'!!!!

Tears began to well at the edges of Mardred's eyes as another of his kinsmen is destroyed. A sudden, resolute determination coursed through his chest. If we die, we die together, he swore silently.

OOC: Shift to N-52, activating Ambush Strike. +2 to hit for CA.

Revenge is taken, at least part way- Mardred's aim is true the dagger lodges in the great undead brute's throat, whether psychological or not the beast is distraught, panicked- it claws at the spot, only making the wound worse. Black blood, bile and viscera spill out as the Zombie Ogre claws its own throat out in a futile attempt to dislodge the blade...

Larry already sent me his turn- he's going away for the night (I think it's just the night), anyway- here it is...

Cinara


"ORCUS! Hear me, you Bastard! This undead abomination is no match for the righteous will of Moradin! And once it is gone, my hammer will eventually seek and snuff out your miserable existance. This I vow!"

With an anger not yet seen by the remaining party, Cinara thrashes wildly about with her hammer, desperate to strike a blow against the ogre.
