Cora Initiative: 3

Zombie Initiative: 13

Everybody please post what you want to do with your turn, and I will post a round summary afterwards. Order doesn't matter for this.

Alva will stride forward, moving to engage with the zombies. Letting our a blood-curdling viking warcry, she attempts to strike with her battleaxe at the nearest one, if possible!

Battleaxe: 16 to hit, 7 slashing damage. If Alva hits the zombie, she will mark it as her Favored Foe for 1 minute, dealing an additional 2 damage to it.

Ini's ready to back off the fight entirely. She pulls out a dagger, and she's ready to throw it when something happens. She freezes in place for just a second, and she starts feeling a headache. The dagger is dropped on the snow, as she moves a hand to her head. For some reason, she speaks a few words in Infernal, and that seems to make the headache she was feeling pass to the closest zombie.

DC 13 Int save or take 3 Psychic damage and subtract 1d4 from the next saving throw.

Finally relieved of the pain, she looks around confused, her heart still racing. She doesn't move a lot, hoping to stay less than 30 ft. but more than 20 ft. away from any zombies.

Bart lifts his new sword and pulls it down in a hard arc toward the nearest zombie, attempting to split the creature in two.

One-handed attack with cold iron longsword: Attack: 9 Damage: 10 slashing

Zombie A slam vs. Alva: 13 Damage: 3

Zombie B slam vs. Bart: 20 Damage: 6

Zombie A INT save: -1

Zombie A WIS save: 18

Toll the Dead damage: 5

Round 1 summary:

As the two zombies emerge from the carriage, Bart bravely charges forward and attacks the closest one, but swings wide and misses.

The zombies attack Bart and Alva, hitting the former for 6 damage, and missing the latter.

Ini works her magic and deals 3 damage to one of the zombies. (ZomA3)

Alva strikes the first zombie for 6 damage, plus 3 additional. (ZomA12)

Cora casts Toll the Dead on the first zombie, dealing an additional 5 damage to it. (ZomA17)

Post your round 2 actions!

OOC: Alva's Favored Foe should've triggered against the first Zombie for an additional 3 damage, unless there's something going on w/ resistances. Apologies if it wasn't clear in my Round 1 Post.

Alva, feeling adrenaline rush over her body, has her eyes dead-set on the first zombie she's been wailing at. As one attack comes her way, she deftly raises her shield to block it, making a follow-up swing into the zombie nearby. Determined not to let it get away, she attempts to cleave into it once again. She maintains concentration on the zombie, continuing to make it her Favored Foe.

Battleaxe: 14 to hit, 3 slashing damage + 1 slashing damage (from Favored Foe).

Zombie A WIS save: 0

OOC: Hehe... They got a 0 on their wisdom save, and it'd actually be even lower with the effects of Mind Sliver.

Whatever spell Ini cast clearly happened, yet she doesn't seem to realize it, as she's still confused and frightened, looking around. Ini's only weapon was the sling she got back in Heldren, but she had no ammunition for it, so, feeling no confidence in her skills, but still wanting to help, she crouches to the ground and takes a bit of the snow. She makes a snowball and throws it at the zombie that's been keeping Bart busy.

OOC: It's an improvised weapon, so I'll let the ruling of what it does up to the DM, and if there needs to be done a damage roll, also up to the DM to roll for me, I'll just roll the attack roll.

Attack: 6

OOC: My bad! It has been fixed.

Cora raises up a hand and points it at one of the wounded zombies, disgust in her eyes. A loud tolling of bells can be heard by all, but most of all by the zombie. "Disgusting creatures," she mutters under her breath, regardless of whether or not the zombie is effected.

Action: Toll the Dead
DC 13 Wisdom save or it takes 8 necrotic damage

Bart makes an "Oof!" sound as the zombie slams into him. His former superiors would have been furious if they'd seen his sloppy attack. He swings again, trying to remember his training while ignoring the pain in his side.

Attack: 6 Damage: 8

Zombie A slam vs Alva: 18 Damage: 5

Zombie B slam vs Bart: 7 Damage: 3

Zombie A WIS save vs. toll the dead: 3

WOW. Okay. Extra damage time:

Zombie A: 6

Zombie B: 3

((I dont like that you just got 3 nat 20s in a row))

Round 2 Summary:

Bart swings wide again, missing the zombie.

The zombies attack Bart and Alva again, hitting the former for another 7 points of damage, and hitting the latter for 13.

Both Bart and Alva go down.

Ini throws a snowball at the zombie, but misses.

The zombie is able to resist the effects of Cora's magics.

Everybody post your round 3 actions, and let's hope this isn't a TPK! Alva and Bart, death saving throws, please.

Bart's neck makes an awful cracking sound as the zombie's arm slams into the side of his head, and down the human goes.

Death save #1: 5

Welcome to PbP, Woja! :)

Ini gives a small short scream, looking at the battle turning against them in a matter of seconds. She spends one second thinking through her options, and she finds a solution. She runs straight towards Bart, even though he was furthest, since he was her friend. She drops herself down in front of Bart, trying to body block the zombie's next attack, and then pulls out a potion of healing, which she quickly puts down on Bart's throat.

Bart heals for 5 HP

OOC: Ini's right after the zombies, so Bart still gets a turn.

Alva slumps down to the ground...

Death Saving Throw: 6

((How close am i to Alva?))

OOC: You are within walking distance, about 20 feet. I'm going to use maps for future combats, I just haven't had access to Photoshop for this one. In fact, I'll make a map when I get home.
