The Mourning After (Horror) (IC)

[FitzTheRuke]

The rider was likely dealt with, but Lazharis knew that the mount was just as dangerous a threat, with a taste for living flesh. He took cover in the nearby yard and fired his bow, which struck the clawfoot in the side of its head.

OOC: He'll leap south over the fence if he can, or just stand next to a post. Shortbow Attack: 1D20+5 = [20]+5 = 25 crit for 2D6+3 = [3, 6]+3 = 12 & Sneak Attack 2D6 = [2, 4] = 6 Oh! I noticed that Lazharis' Passive Perception is 15. You have it at 14.

Round 2


The Ghoul, still blazing with radiant flames, contorts its broken body in unnatural ways, dying a second death as Xian's rapier pierces it.

The Clawfoot Zombie turns its attention towards the dwarf who dismounted its rider. While the dwarf readily blocks the rotting maw filled with teeth, the undead hunter uses its instincts and weight to pin the shield, while its decrepit claws find Ozzar behind it. 19 damage!

Ripples in the mists form, much like shark fins breaching the surface of water. From below the cover, a swarm of decaying and disembodied limbs lash out at Yelisha and Vesile. Fortunately, they saw the dangers in time, and were able to dodge.

In an alternate universe where I totally missed that Xian had killed the Ghoul, Ozzar would have been bleeding out thanks to a pack tactics bonus, while Malix would have been clawed and possibly paralyzed!

 

[Neurotic]

Malix uses the distraction hardy dwarf created to beat at the undead dinosaur. He slams his staff over the back of the beast as the closest part to hit. But then he uses that as leverage to jump up and next to it with leg extended high above his head and dropping kakato geri directly across the extended neck of the beast. The neck breaks under the sudden force with a crack and Malix lands straddling the cadaver.

OOC: kakato geri = heel kick or axe kick
OOC2: if zombie survives due to zombie resilience, leave Malix back in the original square, movement is for show only

Lahzaris turned his bow from the dead clawfoot to the grasping arms and sent an arrow off toward them.

OOC: Bow: 1D20+5 = [17]+5 = 22 1D6+3 = [2]+3 = 5 & Sneak Attack1D6 = [3] = 3

Ozzar reels from surprisingly agile undead. Still, he has a job to do and centers himself moving back to support the casters and their charges.
"Back behind me! Come on! Vesile! Yelisha!"

"And I thought they were scary when alive," Maladiel remarks drily as he studies the decayed corpse of the clawfoot, a creature favored by the halflings he was brought up with.

Mal sees Ozzar carry on as if nothing serious has happened, but he knows the dwarf watchman is as stubborn as any of his kind. He quickly moves over and lays a hand on his ally, the magic inside him gently flowing from Khorovar to dwarf, healing wounds and injuries.

He almost sighs in relief, until the half-elf realizes there are more enemies about.

OOC: Cast Cure Wounds on Ozzar, healing him for 11 points. Maladiel. Speed 30, AC: 12, HP: 13/13, Passive Perception: 14, Spells: 2/4. FBTG: 1/1. SP 2/2

 

[Hades#2]

"Damn!" Xian exclaims.

Thinking quickly Xian inspires Ozzar with an epic poem.

Using Bardic inspiration as a bonus action on Ozzar. Within the next 10 minutes he can roll a d6 and add the total to an ability check, attack roll, or saving throw.

Then he runs forward, rapier leading the way, to stab at the creature attacking his teammate.

Mal sees Ozzar carry on as if nothing serious has happened, but he knows the dwarf watchman is as stubborn as any of his kind. He quickly moves over and lays a hand on his ally, the magic inside him gently flowing from Khorovar to dwarf, healing wounds and injuries.

Ozzar nods "Thanks! Now git! Let's get out of here!"
He remains standing in place though until everybody else passes him.

OOC: if Vasile or Yelisha don't move on their turns, he will go and attack the hands and try to save them.

Round 3

The Zombie Clawfoot falls inanimate from Malix’s artful assault.

Yelisha and Vesile disengage from the zombie masses, falling into the newly formed back-row, as Ozzar and Xian move to form a new front line.

Xian and Lazharis’s attacks prove to be less effective than either had hoped. While the blows were solid, the gangly mass of undead parts lacked any vital organs to stab at, resulting in only structural damage to the creatures. (Damage Resisted)

As Xian stabbed into the mass, the mass in turn surrounded and assaulted him. Countless body parts: arms, hands, feet, legs, eyeballs, heads, and entrales. Detached, twitching, and pulsing in a grotesque mockery of life. They batter the half elf with parts that a living foe wouldn't dare attack with, and constrict around him like a visceral broken snake. (10 damage, DC 12 STR Save or be restrained)

Ozzar, however, was ready for an attack, once again using his shield to defect the decaying claws and rotting meat that sought to rip apart his body and add it into their collective. Miss!
