Free acrobatic 10 to use momentum and roll up standing.Still have your Standard action.There was no LOE between Andrec and Jarel from his location, so Inspiring Word didn't work (and wasn't expanded, of course) in the previous turn.Tor is on autopilot; if anyone wants him to push them up OR if you want to push him up, he'll comply!  You can roll him up yourself.[/sblock][sblock=DM Errata]Montroya : actually, you missed the Spider Zombie.  You rolled 15 and its reflex is 17.  And that means the SZ didn't take 4 point of damage form OAing Matlal.  [/sblock]Tor's rage is rising and his attacks gain a frenzied aspect.  He tears apart the last sewer zombie and moves next to Andrec. The zombie that Matal went through is confused for a moment, having taken damage from all direction.  He finally steadies himself and moves against Montroya and makes his displeasure felt the only way he knows how.Meanwhile, Jarec focuses his will and suddenly a blast of corrupted air erupts over Matlal and Jarel-Karn.  It smells like rotting corpses but the heroes, disturbingly enough, finds that they have been knee deep in zombies so much today that they have built a resistance to the smell and they shrug the effect!Meanwhile, smelling a weakened enemy, the Spider zombie tries to finish off Jarel but does not enjoy the same success as previously.  On the other hand the nearby zombie grabs ahold of Jarel.  He tries to drag Jarel away but the swordmage hold his ground.[sblock]Tormiror: ShiftingStandard: Twin Strike<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2208977/" target="_blank">Twin Strike vs AC 13 (1d20+7=19, 1d20+7=8, 1d8+2=4, 1d8+2=4, 1d8=8)</a> first attack hit, 4+8=12dhpMove to E11vs Montroya<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2208984/" target="_blank">vs AC 17+1 (1d20+6=18, 2d6+2=5)</a> right on the noseFlesh Rotting cloud vs Matala & Jarel<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2208993/" target="_blank">1:Matlal vs for 16 2:Jarel vs For 15 (1d20+5=15, 1d20+5=6, 1d6+3=8)</a> What a load of...  And it came with a such a nice onging effect of granting +2 to attack and damage to undead attacking the victims.  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/cry.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":.-(" title="Cry    :.-(" data-shortname=":.-(" />Vs Jarel<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2209002/" target="_blank">vs AC 21 (1d20+8=17, 1d6+5=10)</a> miss<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2209009/" target="_blank">vs ref 15 (1d20+4=18)</a> zombie grab (-5 to escape check)<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2209018/" target="_blank">vs Fortitude 15 (1d20+4=13)</a> fail to move[/sblock]<a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/125053982/20d06cbc/Morgue6.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://dc160.4shared.com/img/125053982/20d06cbc/Morgue6.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></a>[sblock=status]Z3: 15/40 bloodiedZ4: 27/40SZ : 33/45Jarec : Flesh rotting cloud expandedAndrec : 21/22 [3] Jarel Karn: 11 /37 [11] bloodied, Matlal : 14 +5 /31 [11] AP bloodied, grabbed/immobilized  Mesa : 23/26 [7] Montroya : 6/24 [6] bloodiedTor : 14 (16) /31 [6] bloodied, ShiftingJarec Perception 12; low-light visionHP 47; Bloodied 23AC 14; Fortitude 13, Reflex 14, Will 16Dark Staff Strike (Standard, at-will) +7 vs Armor Class; 1d6+1 damage.Spider ZombiePerception 17HP 45; Bloodied 22AC 17; Fortitude 15, Reflex 17, Will 14Immune disease, poison; Resist 10 necrotic; Vulnerable 5 radiantOA : Slam (Standard, at-will) +8 vs Armor Class; 1d6+5 damage.Halfling Thief (Ht) Perception 11HP 34; Bloodied 17AC 16; Fortitude 13, Reflex 15, Will 14Dagger (Standard, at-will) Weapon+7 vs Armor Class; 1d4+3 damage.ZombiePerception 10; darkvisionHP 40; Bloodied 20AC 13; Fortitude 13, Reflex 9, Will 10Immune disease, poison; Resist 10 necrotic; Vulnerable 5 radiantSlam (Standard, at-will) +6 vs Armor Class; 2d6+2 damage.[/sblock]</blockquote>
