After seeing Flint Vaporize most the skeletons Rip will run to Marav's aid. if i can get close enough i'll firebolt the nearest stinky 23 for 6

Marav howls loudly in pain then he and Steele tear back into the Zombie.

Attack: 13 Damage: 7
Steele Attack: 17 Damage: 9

DC 13 or knocked prone

//Pack Tactics is why I always choose Dire Wolf. The prone stuff is for everyone else's benefit. :)

I think I must be getting to a record number of rolled 1's
//

The large ogre zombie is once again taken down by Marav's dire wolf shape, but still the thing persists, even when much of its bones are laid bare by Marav's savage attacks. 

Ink remarks upon seeing Flint decimate the skeletons, "We probably should have led with that... Noted."

//  Assuming Ink can hear the commotion outside ...  //

"I think Marav needs some help outside, I can mop up these bones that are left."

Ink charges forward attacking with the scimitar and short sword ... 

//  Scimitar 1 Attack: 16 Damage: 7

//  Short sword (ba) Attack: 19 Damage: 8

//  Scimitar 2 Attack: 23 Damage: 1, plus 5

As Ink moves away from Flint, a large form can be seen galloping towards them. A towering hulk of metal and wood interwoven charges toward them atop a clockwork horse. It’s moving at full gallop, however, as the horse reaches near the keep, the figure dismounts in a leap. A thunderous crash erupts as the humanoid figure rises to its full, seven-foot height, roughly 5 feet away from Flint. Light seems to trace from within the faceless, mechanical creature. In an... oddly chipper voice, the entity speaks with a mechanical wave, “Hello. I am Crownsguard, your collaborative, combative companion. How may I be of assistance? I am detecting large quantities of undead in this area. Do you require additional extermination?” In fact, upon further investigation, it seems that there is a marking drawn upon his face plate. It seems it’s a small, rudimentary smiling face drawn in dried ink. How strange.

//Since this was a bit more narrative post, I’ll summarize. The clockwork horse dashed 120 feet for its turn. Crownsguard then dismounted for 15 feet. He then moved 15 and dashed an additional 30 feet. Total of 165 feet moved.//

Reeling at the sudden appearance of the tin man, flint says from behind his shield "ye  speak then? Get in there an' help th' elf! 'E'd be th' one with th' pointy ears, covered in skin...."

The automaton’s gaze stays locked on the dwarf, “Dialect identified: Dwarven. ‘Don’cha worry, lad. A’ll be takin’ care o’ it for ye.’” His head then turns 90 degrees toward the wizard, “Command understood. Assist user, ‘Pointy Ears,’ in eliminating undead menace. Lethal force authorized.” Crownsguard draws a longsword and removes a shield from his back, “I will be happy to assist.”

However, having no actions, he’ll help next turn.

"I think Marav needs some help outside, I can mop up these bones that are left."

Ink charges forward attacking with the scimitar and short sword ... 

The remaining five skeletons inside drop their bows in favor of small swords, and many charge past Ink out of the opening of the building. 

The rush forward and attack Flint...

Attack: 23 Damage: 3
Attack: 24 Damage: 7

...and Crownsguard...

Attack: 6 Damage: 6
Attack: 11 Damage: 7

...and one stays behind to strike at Ink. 

Attack: 5 Damage: 3

Meanwhile, the zombies renew their assault on Marav, striving to rend the wolf form into pieces for consumption... 

Attack: 12 Damage: 18
Attack: 22 Damage: 3
Attack: 22 Damage: 5

...and the wounded ogre zombie reaches for Steele in an attempt to grab him...

Strength 20 // Need an opposed Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) from Steele! //

PLAYERS UP!

Steele Strength Check (Against an Ogre.. for real?): 3

Marav's howl of pain turns into a grunt as he changes back into his normal orc form half way through the attack. "I'm not done yet!" He yells out at the undead changing his form again into his familiar Dire Wolf form and attacks the same ogre again.

Attack: 14 Damage: 12

(And if Steele isn't dead or grappled)
Steele Attack: 22 Damage: 9 

DC 13 or knocked prone

The first attack slides off Crownsguard’s iron plating, but the second swing barely catches him in his wooden body, “Please. Stop resisting. You are making this awkward.” Crownsguard plants his sword in the ground, removes a hammer from his hip, and swings it towards the heads of the skeletons, Attack: 26 Damage: 4 bludgeoning and Attack: 17 Damage: 6 bludgeoning damage.

Rip runs forward and tosses a firebolt at the ogre that grabbed steele 19 for 9 "Unhand that bird fatty!"

Steele is grabbed by the ogre zombie, but as he is drawn towards his gullet, Rip's fire bolt comes in and smashes into the side of the ugly creature's head! The blood hawk then manages to poke out the undead ogre's eye, and with the momentary distraction, Marav is able to leap stop the body of the ogre and rip its head from its body. The carcass drops to the ground, inanimate, and Steele is able to wriggle from the cold grasp of its hand. 

Meanwhile, the curiously constructed Crownsguard's attacks against the skeletons are incredibly effective. With two swings, he caves in the skulls of both undead warriors, putting them to rest once again.

 Flint's strength, which was sapped from the earlier confrontation with the undead shadows, has not returned to him. The skeleton manages to rebuff his slow attack.
