Rufus acts quickly and positions himself with a readied blade in hands before most others could react. A heartbeat later, the Radiant Servant displays an elaborate and well made holy symbol to Lathander and channels the Morninglord's power trough himself.
A bright yellow radiance beams out of Geryk's eyes, mouth and skin, and a brilliant wave, seemingly composed of the sun rays that shine trough the cloudy sky during a summer afternoon, washes over his allies and the undead abominations in front of him.
Upon contact with the Zombies, the energy turns them to dust in an instant, leaving naught but a fine grey powder in their place. The large greature growls with a deep, grunting voice, and braces it self for an instant, but it seems to be unaffected by the energy touching it's grey, rotted skin.
The demonic boy laughs with a maniacal grin in his eye and in an instant, propels himself upon the top of the barn.
Meanwhile, the Elven Incantatrix produces a small grey pearl from her pouch and casts a spell, summoning a cloudy gray sphere of whirling air and howling wind that heads straight for the giant undead. It hits the creature with a force that would have swept a smaller being clean off the floor, but the brute is indomitable. The lashing winds manage to peel some of it's rotted flesh off however, though that seems to be far from what is needed to harm the thing.
The brute doesn't seem happy with the pelting and harrassement it has received, and it charges madly at Rufus. The Warblade is ready for it and welcomes it with a ligtning fast stab trough the gut, but it presses on. From above, Zinerath just barely manages to plunge his scythe in the creature's massive, bulging neck. It shrugs off the wounds however, and bites off some meat from Rufus's shoulder, chomping viciously, it's jaw having the strength of vice.
The exotic sorceress bolsters her defences and observes the battle.
The Half-Orc barbarian charges in to aid Rufus, but his sword glances off the side of the creature, it's skin proving tougher than what is expected of such pale, puffy and rotted flesh. The shoulder guards and armbands it possesses help it evade the blow as well.

[sblock]For future combat - I want at-a-glance stat blocks for your characters when in combat. Ability scores, saves, active buffs, spells remaining, maneuvers remaining, how much PA you have on, how many AOOs you can make etc. Thank you
Note Geryk's Aura of Warding for your Will saves if you are within 10 ft. of him.
The Incantatrix has to list the focus for her spell in her items (costs 100 gp.) and any other foci or expensive material components. Also, other equipment would be useful for her.
Rufus gets hit for 24 damage but manages to connect. Zinerath barely hits, Thok barely misses.
So Rufus is in front of the barn, Zinerath on top. Geryk has line of effect towards the door, so he is some 30-40 feet behind tops. Where are the casters standing? I'll update the map. I want to know where everyone is and what they are looking at.[/sblock]
[sblock=DMs notes]Round 1. Large creature - 38 damage.[/sblock]
