The kitchen door is on the West wall, 10’ N of the SW corner of the room. There are no windows on the West wall of the common room, but there is a 15’ long carved oak bar starting 50’ from the SW corner.Both the eastern and western doors are currently open. Lighting comes from six continual flame lanterns set to give coverage to the entire room.The Kitchen measures 25’ E-W, 15’ N-S. It too has a large fireplace, and an iron stove as well. The fireplace is in the center of the South wall. Doors are in the center of the North wall, the center of the East wall, and the center of the West wall. Shuttered windows flank the fireplace, and the Western door. Lighting comes from a single continual flame lantern hanging in the center of the room, as well as the fireplace.Init Order:Kaltesis 18Larris 15Ari'mone 14Oxana 13Aaldar 12Calimorton 11Foe 10Toby 9Dora 9Erkenbrand & Frea 8Aidan 6Positions at start of round:Kaltesis Bottom of stairs in common roomLarris At table in common room, 15’ from kitchen doorAri’mone 10’ inside kitchen door, facing the horrors in the kitchenOxana 25’ E from kitchen door, in common room, comforting DoraAaldar 15’ north of kitchen door, in common roomCalimorton 5’ north of Ari’mone, facing the horrors in the kitchen.First Horror – facing Ari’moneSecond Horror – facing CalimortonThird Horror – facing ErkenbrandFourth Horror – 5’ W of Third Horror, lifting a kettle of hot stewToby 5’ N of OxanaDora with OxanaErkenbrand 5’ S of Ari’mone, facing horrorsFrea 5’ E of Erkenbrand, getting yelled atAidan 5’NW of OxanaKaltesis makes his way down the length of the common room, making it almost to the door of the kitchen. There are, after all, more undead to kill.Larris, in an amazing display of strength and speed, charges at the shutters of the nearest window, smashing them asunder as he leaps out in a spray of breaking glass, the storms might slamming into him like a living thing.  Dashing down the side of the still well lit inn, He leaps at another window, again smashing his way inward, erupting into the kitchen behind the Fourth Horror.Ari’mone leaps to the attack, rolling under and between the malformed horror’s legs, and bouncing nimbly to his feet, kicking the back of the thing’s leg, (5 points), willing the golden ice to form…but it does not, the thing able to fight off the ravaging effects of the halfling’s strike.Oxana, noting that the window Larris just “opened” is a lot closer then the door, follows him through it, taking wing, and unlimbering her bow.  She finds that the wind and the rain make flight difficult, and a moment later, finds that archery while flying in this weather is nearly impossible, as her arrow embeds itself firmly in the inn wall, a full 3’ above the window she was trying to shoot through.Aaldar moves to where he can actually look through the kitchen doors, and ponders what to do next, given the close quarters the fight is taking place in.Calimorton swings his cutlass twice at the horror he faces, the first blow biting deep, the second stopped by the things unnaturally thick skin.The First Horror turns to face his agile opponent, the Halfling only barely ducking under the whistling edge of the thing’s blade. “Maybe I’ll make a snack of you, little man.”The Second Horror hisses it’s laughter as it hacks at Calimorton, more blood and corruption leaking forth as it chops into the tavernman’s leg.The Third Horror turns it’s blade upon Erkenbrand, slashing a long bloody gash in his arm, after beating down his guard. (9 slashing, 2 special)The Fourth Horror, turning towards Larris, dumps the hot stew down on his head, the kettle slamming down with brutal force. The thick stew half blinds the fighter (8 bludgeoning, 1 fire, -2 to hit and skill rolls for 3 rnds) Then the Horror draws it’s blade, chuckling in a raspy voice. “Tasty, isn’t it?”Toby and Dora just hug each other, the young boy trying to comfort his sister, who continues to cry brokenly.Erkenbrand gives back the damage he just took, and more, his blade flashing in once, then twice, brushing aside the defense of the Third Horror, the balefire abruptly winking out of its eyes, as it collapses in a welter of corruption and stench. (17 points total)Frea, not a stupid man, and noting the opening that just appeared when the Halfling rolled forward, moves steps up and slashes at the First Horror,  but the blow is turned by it’s mail.Aidan again finds himself abandoned, as Oxana rushes off just as he raises his hand to heal her. Shrugging, he rushes into the kitchen, and seeing Erkenbrand’s condition, calls upon the power of Aeos, a holy light briefly suffusing the room as the Jordman is healed for 15 points.</blockquote>
