Alan is 27 year old male who was living a tough life in the city, living day by day hustling through whatever job he can get. He is quite fit and agile as most of the jobs he undertaken needs someone who has a way with words and the guile to be in and out before any one realizes it. He was doing one of his usual "delivery" jobs, delivering some black market accessories (stolen gold watches and low end jewelry) to his customer's shop's basement. As they were about to make the trade, Alan received the money and in the midst of handing the bag the electricity suddenly shuts down with no apparent reason and Alan is hit with piercing headache that is apparently affecting everyone around him.
Realizing that this is affecting everyone around him, Alan pushes himself to his feet with pure strength of will while everyone is still trying to figure out whats wrong with them, he then grabs the bag and perfectly recollects what the basement looks like, he feels his way through the basement and heads upstairs, dashes through the street thinking only about the free loot he just ran off with. All around him the streets were in a uproar as cars have crashed together people lay injured in the streets, but all that was running through Allan's mind was the thought of his well earned payday.
OOC: Im assuming the piercing headache is something everyone receives even if they don't see the "blinding flash" correct ? Im basing this scenario on that
After this job Allan saw this "blessing in disguise" as a means to get more of what he never had. He sold the merchandise across several towns and traded them for gold plates that he kept in his backpack (less conspicuous than a big bag of money). As he later crosses into the city of Corvallis he is hunted down by cannibals and finds himself in the midst of shoot out when he notices some people moving away from the fighting and thinks to himself these seem like smart people I’m sure there going to look for safety
OOC: He didn't see those firebombs coming
As Alan finally catches up to the group he finds them in a heated battle with what looks like a crazed prophet and his muscle headed goons. He quickly ducks between the bushes to find himself next to teenage girl
Alan scream to Genara: 'What is going on hereeee !!!!'
George screams 'What the Actual F$$***?!?!?!?!' as Thomas points at the Zombified corpse of the Prophet rising from the ground. Despite his horror, he continues to concentrate his fire on the guards, hoping to help Max and Uthvern break contact.

Genera yelps as the prophet rises again, "ohh f&%*!!" She whispers, almost turning back to run. She braces herself, puts another arrow in her crossbow and lets loose at the prophet.
20 George does just enough damage to take out the profit (there are two options here, either the guards are terrified that the prophet has died and run away or they are enraged at your blasphemy and fight to the death) The higher the number the angrier they become 14 Angry it is. 16 Max strikes 19 Damage: 11 14 Thomas puts down the guard facing Max 12 Uthvern switches to katana and shield before charging in after Max. 11 Genera puts a bolt in a guard for 7 damage 5 Prophet and Guards 221112 two on Max one on Uthvern Max takes 8 Uthvern interposes his shield to protect Max 21.

Calling out “Remember Highlander! “ Thomas runs to join Uthvern, drawing his sword and trying a cut at the Undeads head. ( Sneak attack from friend within five feet of enemy, advantage from Gamliel Help action. ?) He then Disengages and weaves around, still aided by his pseudo bird .
Attack: 12 Damage: 9
ooc - If damage is irrelevant then Tom will try a decapitation.

Well he appears dead so decapitating him is relatively easy.
Quickly wiping his sword on off on the clean-ish clothes of one of the bodies, Thomas retreats as directed, slinking back into the shadows near the group and re-equipping his crossbow for action. Both he and his familiar keep a sharp eye out for any surprises.

Uthvern will grab Max and start running back towards the other all the while chuckling about the Highlander quote, "That was pretty good! Best we leave. Now! Throw those bombs and let's get the hell out of here." And also attempt to stealth as well 14
As they strategically withdraw, Thomas answer Ulthvern - "With the return of magic, I KNEW there'd be undead and more coming. I wonder when I'll get to meet an actual Elf? Oh, and who has those firebombs to toss, anyways?"

"Did you see that, i got him in the eye" whispers Genera with a smile to thomas as she approaches the group. She notices she is a little more hardened as the killing is affecting her less. "What do we do now ? " She asks.
