New adventure

"Cover yourself in splint and immediately find an enemy that strikes the neck, what are the chances!"

Tyrus uses his action to remove one of the stirges in his neck.

Tyrus was able to remove the Stirge before it could bite him again.

Gundren swings his axe at the pest as soon as it is removed from Tyrus.

Attack: 8 Damage: 12

He misses and so Sildar swings his sword at it twice.

Attack: 7 Damage: 8

Attack: 21 Damage: 8

He kills it with his second swing.

The group is at a four corners situation.  The cave has hallways to the right, left, and straight ahead.  

"Gundren,  did your map include any portion of these caves,  or was it just to get us to the entrance back there?" Boghadair asks the dwarf.

Gundren says, " the only thing we know about the layout of the cave is that the forge is near a water source.  Unfortunately we will have to search room by room until we meet someone we can actually talk to."

"There's nothing here but those dozens of skeletons down there."

Thagakh points at the cavern below. Something ominous enter his mind as he begins to check if those skeletons are truly not undead.

Wisdom Check: 13

a sadly familiar sound is heard from the right of the party.

6 Zombie come creeping from 15 feet away in the shadows.

"This is the second time Thagakh found undead creatures."

The half-orc performs the rite of the storm on his battleaxe and transforms into a wereboar.

Boghadair sheaths his daggers and pulls out his longbow while creating distance with the zombies, 

Longbow Ranged Attack: 23; Damage: 12 piercing damage

Ian takes a stance near Thagakh and awaits the range attackers.

johnson pulls out his crossbow to weaken the group before they arrive.

Boghadair hits but Johnson misses.

The zombies stop moving forward until the fire stops.  Two try to go around the the flames.

Arafiel observes them stopping   and laughs lowly

heh heh that will last a minute,  enjoy the target practice boys

"Thanks Arafiel!"  Boghadair says with a chuckle.

OOC:  I'll take as many shots as you will allow before the zombies get into melee range again, or they die.  I am going to be unavailable the rest of the evening most likely.  So I'll just give you 8 rolls of Longbow attacks for these zombies.  I will  not burn an action surge, or anything like that.  Just my normal attack once a round, with movement to stay out of melee attack range.

The party can get two shots off before the zombies move around the fire and or the fire goes out.

*Woosh* *Wapow*

Since the half-orc cannot go through the fire, he makes the sound effects of the arrows as they hit the skeletons in the hopes to make the fight more intense and dramatic.

*Woosh* *Wapow*

Ian moves to the left side that the zombies are trying to come through and attacks the first Zombie.
