OOC: You can take as many shorts rests as you like. So long as you have hit dice, you can use those at that time. You're only supposed to have one long rest her 24 hours, but that is sometimes very hindering for an adventuring party.
Seems like everyone is in favor of a short rest, and Erric's fine with it if we think the zombies aren't a threat right now, and this mirror world doesn't seem like it's dissolving. If we hear movement from the zombies, or if there is any sign that the shadows/clouds around us are changing or dissolving then Erric would vote to stop the rest. :)
Jambiya will take her rest leaning up against the door, so she can feel it if the zombies try it. At the end of the rest (if we get there), she will gently shake Anafrey awake. "Brave friend, it is time to get ourselves out of this. Do you feel better?"
Hit Die roll, if we get the full short rest: 2
OOC > Man, that is depressing. Then again, she doubled her hp! Woo?
He had been sitting right by the door ever since he closed it so when Jambiya sits down next to him, even in a mirror shadow world with little hope of escape, he gets a thrill and a butterfly in his stomach. The manic pixie goblin dream girl was sitting next to him!
He still keeps an eye out for any changes but tries to give himself a rest for the first time in what felt like months.
OoC: Terrible rolls all around! There will be an extra d6 when he hits level 2, and can use Song of Rest for the whole party.
Maldorn continues to sit cross-legged and finishes rolling his cigarette. Forgetting all that is happening around him, he enjoys his tobacco escape slowly.
Hit die: 11
(OOC: I rolled way higher than I needed. Is a hit die’s roll donation a thing?)
"Right," Maldorn says "If we are all ready, I believe we have little choice but try and put those aberrations down. Master Jeric, will you do the honors of initiating your 'closing-door-plan'?"
He then prepares a fresh arrow in case they indeed proceed with the plan:
-> Longbow (Sharpshooter attack) vs. one of the undead: Attack: 2 Damage: 14 piercing.
OOC: Erric, didn't you use your second lucky in the turn which we erased (moving deeper into the room)?
OOC2: If we're ready, let's keep the same initiative of Anafrey, Erric/Maldorn, zombies, Jambiya. I have posts by Maldorn, Erric and Jambiya. Anafrey? Oh, wait, this is the start of her away time. Do you all think we should take a break, or would you like me to play her? That might be a touchy decision right now. I wish I had thought to ask her what her preference is.
Yeah I like the two shorties in the front (Erric can be where he is or in S8 if we're going for the south side of the table), and the tall folks behind us? Maybe Maldorn can light another torch to throw in there on the table so we don't have to worry about lighting. And let's prepare something heavy and mobile on this side of the door so that if we need some mass to close and hold the door, we have it right there.
(OOC: Maldorn will follow Erric's suggestion and light a third torch. Once lit, he will throw it into the dining room to ensure the party has enough light when targeting the enemies. Then, he will prepare the shot posted above (which certainly misses). Maldorn is fine where he is, and he will take this and the next shots while leaning to one side so that Anafrey can do the same to the other side. Our arrows should be able to fly above Jambiya's and Erric's head, right?)
OK, see if I got this right ... Anafrey is readying an attack for after Maldorn throws a torch into the room ... Erric is also readying an attack for after the torch is thrown in ... Maldorn is readying throwing in the torch for after the door is opened ... and Jambiya will open the door. Technically, opening the door is her one free action this round, so her action could be to close the door after everyone's readied actions take place. Or, she could also attack.
That sounds good to me. Side questions: Is the door... real wood? Or shadow wood? Is there a way to break a small hole in a recessed panel or something?
Yes, if Jambiya sees zombies right there when she opens the door, she will close it as her action, instead of shooting. (Though he should probably be shooting, since she can potentially do 10 dmg.)

Afraid not, Maldorn.

"I am ready, Master Whitehare," Jambiya says, and she stands by the door. "I'll open it, as I only need one hand to attack," she says.
Action: Free object interaction to open the door.
Ready: an Eldritch Blast to shoot at the zombies, whichever is closest when she opens the door.
Attack: 13 to hit, for 1 force damage
On her next turn she will shut the door and lean up against it.

I took Lucky and I'm all out! If things are safe after our hour of short rest, Erric will ask if it's safe to take a deeper sleep.
If not, he will stand ready to fire stones from his sling through the door as Jambiya opens it, at the second-closest zombie.
Attack: 18 Damage: 7

She’s not in a dangerous initiative spot, next to the zombies. She could stand back and shoot arrows...
