New adventure

Tyrus hangs back with the others, holding his shield at the ready.

"Thagakh, throw a bar of soap if you need me, will you?"

After checking the large chamber, Thagakh chucks his precious soap back to Tyrus and tells what he found.

"The smell of death really clings to the clothes inside here. Keep that in case we have time to take bath. Don't worry about Thagakh's supply of soap."

Thagakh then actively looks for tracks that might be left by the undead creatures constantly attacking them.

Survival 17

Where is Thagakh searching .... the area with the group or the room he want to investigate with the furnace?

"Jinkies,  that smells awful!" Boghadair says, walking towards the channel to see if the smell is coming from there. 

Perception: 19

Did Arafiel find anything on the bodies?

There is nothing of value on the bodies of the slain Ghouls.

Boghadair and Thagakh discover more than a dozen withered corpses are scattered around the room. These slain dwarves and orcs are still wearing the remnants of their armor. Floating above them is a skull engulfed in green flame.  Eight of the fallen dwarf warriors are zombies. They rise and pursue any living creatures that enter the room.

OOC:  ok who is where and what can i see

Zombies are walking ..... you know zombie like ....towards Thagakh and Boghadair (20 feet away).  The green flame skull is a bit away and has not engaged yet (35 feet away).

Arafiel moves up 5 feet    "cover me"

casts Witchbolt (level 2) at green skull:    Attack: 16 Damage: 22 lightning

Ian heads the direction he sees Thagakh and Boghadair going. “Let’s not get too spread out.”

Arafiel hits the skull and does damage but strangely the skull doesn’t seem to take the full effect.

The flame skull turns to face arafiel.   He sends 3 magic missiles back at him 5.  Damage each.

OOC: Need some clarification, where is Tyrus in all this?

Ouch    ooc: think i have to make a save or lose the spell

Tyrus is back in the other room about 50 feet away.  Thagakh and Boghadair went to check out the smell.

If Ian can hear the battle, he uses his dash action to join the fight 

Initiative: Boghadair, Thagakh, Zombies, Ian, Arafiel, Flameskull , .... depends on what Tyrus, Sildar, Gundren, and Johnson does next.

Tyrus follows suit with Ian

Boghadair shoots two arrows at the green skull, and then moves as far away from the zombies while keeping the skull within range. 

Longbow Ranged Attack: 18; Damage: 11 piercing damage

Shadow Arrow:  8 psychic damage

OOC : Action Surge for second shot

Longbow Ranged Attack: 24; Damage: 7 piercing damage

OOC : GM Strap,  well it looks like what we discussed earlier creates a dice manipulation message.   Maybe we just go with automatically posting the Arcane Shots, and the damage only takes effect when the arrow connects.   

Thagakh tries to cut the one of the zombies near them as he swings his weapon.

Feral Might, Hew Two Handed Melee Weapon Attack: 8 Damage: 13 Slashing Damage

Crimsom Rite, Rite of the Storm: 3 Lightning Damage

Boghadair does some damage to the skull but again it seems somewhat resistant to his attacks.

Thagakh damages one zombie.

 The zombies attack Thagakh 

z1 Attack: 13 Damage: 4

z2 Attack: 14 Damage: 4

z3 Attack: 15 Damage: 4

z4 Attack: 18 Damage: 4

z5 Attack: 22 Damage: 4

The remaining zombie pursue Boghadair.
