Boghadair is still firing at any Blights that are sill upright.

All blights in the area are now dead.

After seeing the sign of zombies nearby, the half-orc attempts to smell any nearby undead using his heightened senses.

Perception: 20

well it’s safe to say we found the plants so... let’s keep an eye out for those zombies.

searches the cottage where the other blights came from.

investigation

Johnson finds nothing in the first cottage.  Thagakh can smell undead in the area but the scent is not strong.  Ian search is successful. A merchant who once lived here had a chest full of coins hidden under the flagstone floor of his home. A thorough search of the interior of the eastern cottage reveals an old chest among the roots of the tree growing up through the house. The chest contains 700 cp, 160 sp, and 90 gp.

this area produces nothing else.  Further up the road are more structures.  No movement is detected.

"Thagakh will go ahead and check other structures ahead."

The half-orc tiptoes with his clunky scale mail.

Stealth: 6

Ian draws his bow to provide protection for Thagakh.  Following at a safe distance, “Thagakh .... I got your back... If you see something, back off so we can keep you safe.”

Arafiel is also providing cover for Thag

Seeing the half-orc clunking around, Tyrus shrugs and heads in with him to check the structures.

Boghadair has his bow and arrow ready,  and follows the rest of the group.  He follows at an additional 5-10 feet behind,  and keeps an eye out on the surroundings in case something decides to ambush us.

Perception: 5

OOC:  Yup.  All safe behind us.  D'oh! 

A weathered signboard by the door of this large building shows the faded image of a workhorse holding a flagon of ale. The building is sagging and dilapidated, but it is more intact than the ruins across the road.

This looks like my kind of place.  Maybe just late to the party.

The half-orc takes a peek inside with his head, takes a deep breath, and tries to smell if there are undead inside.

Perception: 18

Arafiel summons Jester from her pocket plane

Jester  go check out those ruins across the way and let me know if anything is not right

Four ash zombies lurk in the shadows in this building, slumped against the walls or under the bar. As Thagakh and Jester enter the zombies groan and stir, slowly climbing to their feet. 

The eastern half of the building is the old common room, while the western portion held the kitchens and the brewer’s vats. Huge wooden tuns stand to the west, and a faint smell of yeast still permeates the air. 

looks like Zombies fellows

Jester come back

"Clear the area boys!  I have something new to try when they come through the door!" Boghadair shouts,  while looking waaay to excited upon hearing about the zombies. 

Boghadair lines up an arrow with the doorway waiting for all zombies to be visible.  When they are he shoots his Bursting Arrow at the zombies. 

Longbow Ranged Attack: 18; Damage: 7 piercing damage

Bursting Arrow Damage:  5

Bursting Arrow Damage if critical: 18

OOC: yup,  too lazy to work out proper if then statements right now. Also,  bursting arrow damage gets added to the target,  and all creatures within 10 feet.
