Weretiger's Curse - The battle with the Zombies

Post by Nathan »

Here's the state of play at the moment:



Zombie 1 - Dead
Zombie 2 - Fleeing in fear!
Zombie 3 - Dead
Zombie 4 - Dead


Charn 9hp
Caamora 13hp
Irian 4hp
Vargon 13hp
Xavier 2hp

Zombie 2 is fleeing in fear, Caamora is chasing it.

Xavier is at the edge of the cavern, Vargon is still stading where the other 3 zombies lie dead.

Charn is standing at the edge of the cavern near the entrance and Irian is running towards the last zombie.

[Round 1]:

Zombie 4 lumbers towards you 30feet, and is now 20ft away.

Xavier fires his shortbow at the closest zombie (zombie 4). The bolt slams into the zombie and does one damage. However, the zombie doesn't seem to be affected at all. After firing his bow he moves 30ft, skirting the edge of the cave in order to try and flank the zombies.

Vargon charges up to zombie 4 and attacks it with his longsword. He hits it and does 12 damage. The zombie looks badly hurt.

Zombie 1 lurches over towards vargon but doesn't quite reach him

Zombie 2 shuffles towards vargon but can't quite reach him and stops next to zombie 1

Brother Charn drops his lantern by the tunnel wall and charges in to attack zombie 4. He hits it for 5 damage, but the zombie doesn't seem to be affected at all by the strike.

Caamora charges in and attacks zombie 4 with her fists. She swings wildly and misses.

Zombie 3 makes its way towards the growing melee and stops right next to zombie 4 (and thus next to Vargon, Charn and Caamora).

Irian stays where she is and casts magic missile on zombie 4. The magic missile deals 4 damage and the zombie collapses into a pile of flesh.

[Round 2]

Xavier runs in behind Zombie 3 and attempts to sneak attack it with his rapier. Unfortunately, the creature seems to have no vulnerable points on its body. He plunges his rapier deep into the zombie's body and does 6 damage. The zombie seems hurt, but not as muc as it should be.

Vargon turns his attention to zombie 3 as well. He swings his longsword in a mighty arc and slashes into the zombie for 9 damage. There are now large cut marks in the zombie's flesh.

Zombie 1 flings its arms towards Xavier and manages to hit him firmly across the chest, dealing 6 damage.

Zombie 2 moves towards Vargon, ending next to him. As he passes by Xavier, the rogue gets an attack of opportunity. Xavier plunges his rapier right through the monster and out the other side for 6 damage, but again it seems to do very little to hurt the zombie.

Brother Charn moves back 30 feet, grasps his Holy Symbol of Pelor in both hands and holds it before him! ""Avaunt, creatures of darkness!" he shouts. The three remaining zombies look immediately terrified!

Caamora takes a 5ft step so as to be flanking zombie 3 and then flings her fists at it in a flurry of blows. The first of two strikes hits the zombie squarely in the face. The strike does 6 damage, but the zombie seems less badly affected than you would expect from the power of the punch.

Zombie 3 turns and moves as fast as it can in the opposite direction from Brother Charn. It provokes attacks of opportunity from Xavier, Caamora and Vargon.

Xavier stabs his rapier into the retreating foe and deals 7 damage, but the zombie seems less hurt than it should be.

Caamora punches it right in the gob, dealing 7 damage, and the zombie crumples to the floor, dead.

[Vargon doesn't get his attack of opportunity as it's already dead].

Irian casts another magic missile, this time at zombie 1. The missile hits and deals 3 damage. The zombie looks a little hurt.

[End of round 2. At the end of each round you are free to make changes to your battle plans. Just PM me or post in this thread.]

Dropping his rapier as the Zombies flee, Xavier catches up his shortbow, and, stepping aside from the group, begins loosing arrows at the retreating Zombies.

[we're still in combat time at the moment, as there's a limit on how long the zombies will be "turned" for. I'll let everyone know when we're back to normal time, but for the moment any instructions should be battle plan style please]

Caamora will continue what she is doing - attacking with fists and feet.

Charn brandishes his mace once more.
"Friends, ware! They that flee do so only till they be engaged again in close battle. They be abominations and must be vanquished!"
Saying this, Charn chases after the nearest, intended to smite with mace if he can catch up.

Swallowing her fear, Irian removes her dagger and runs after Brother Charn. She had noticed Vargon's longsword seemed more effective against these creatures than Xavier's rapier, and hoped her dagger would be as effective as the longsword.

"Slash, not stab," she panted to herself, closing in on the retreating undead...

Charn pauses before getting too close to the fleeing creatures, visibly calming himself. He mutters as if to remind himself as much as anyone else, "If I advance too close, the warding be broken." He appears frustrated between his inclination and his training.

[Round 3]

Xavier moves 30ft away, to the edge of the cavern and fires his shortbow at zombie 1. His arrow slams into the zombies leg doing 3 damage. The zombie seems completely unaffected.

Vargon swings his longsword at zombie 1 and scores a direct his on its torso, dealing 11 damage. The zombie looks very badly hurt and shuffles with a bit of a limp now.

Zombie 1 starts to shuffle towards the back of the cavern at top speed, away from Brother Charn. It provokes attacks of opportunity from Vargon and Caamora.

Caamora aims a kick at the zombie's chest but misses entirely, spinning round and almost losing her balance entirely.

Vargon swings his longsword in a prodigious effort and chops the zombie clean in half. It's dead.

Zombie 2 shuffles 30ft to the back wall of the cavern and stops there, cowering.

Brother Charn stays where he is, fighting between the impulse to attack and his training, which tells him the turning effect will be broken if he approaches.

Caamora charges in and launches a massive blow at the last remaining zombie. The punch lands and does 4 damage. The zombie doesn't seem affected at all.

Irian draws her dagger and moves 30ft toward the last remaining zombie.

Drawing his shortbow again, Xavier shifts his aim to the final Zombie, and fires, intent on at least weakening it further before it can be engaged in melee again.

[Round 4]

Xavier fires another arrow, this time at zombie 2. The arrow hits and does 4 damage. The zombie is entirely unaffected.

Vargon charges over to zombie 2 and swings his longsword into its head. The hit does 6 damage and leaves a big slashmark across the zombie's skull.

Zombie 2 continues to cower against the wall of the cavern.

Brother Charn carries on standing where he is.

Caamora also charges at zombie 2 and unleashes a flying kick. The kick strikes cleanly in the zombie's chest and deals 4 damage. The zombie is unaffected.

Irian charges in with her dagger and slashes at the zombie. She hits it on the arm and does 3 damage. It leaves a cut on the zombie's arm.

[round 5]

Xavier fires another arrow at the zombie. The arrow thuds into the zombie's leg and does 2 damage. The zombie is unaffected.

Vargon swings his longsword again, dealing 10 damage. The zombie's head comes off and flies across the room, slowly rolling to a halt near the mining cart.
