The Goliath eyed the campfire, then the wizard, before moving ahead with the rest. As they enter, his left hand instinctively raises to rest on the hilts of the two swords though his right remained normal, swaying at his side. His step was surprisingly silent for one of his size, his footsteps only a soft scuffle of dirt or gravel. He would position himself near the middle of the group, to act wherever needed.
As Kriv recites the arcane words that bring his spells into being, a large fire is created in the darkness ahead, illuminating a part of the chamber. The flickering orange light reveals six humanoid figures milling about in front of what appears to be some kind of building. They look with vacant eyes towards the fire, then out the door to the source of the words that created the flame which now brightens the darkness of the Cove. These individuals are slightly bloated, pale-skinned, slack-jawed, and vacant-eyed people that now shamble towards the light where you all are standing.
The Goliath would drop into a low stance and draw the longsword on his left hip using his right hand. "It would seem we have a fight on our hands. I have not fought these before."
My turn! Oh! Wow! Sorry! Went out tonight for a dinner.
Well, The plan is to use the bottleneck of the doors to hold them and killing them little by little Spartan at the Thermopilae style right?
If that’s our plan and if it’s possible Codric will move up to that point and will take the dodge action holding the position until the rest can come up and form the “pahlanx”
“Let’s hold them at the doors!” Says the young cleric and, despite the fact that his armor still looks bigger for his size, he puts himself there and readies his mace and shield to hold them.
As Codric prepares to hold them at the doors, the zombies shuffle forward. Only one of them makes it far enough to attempt to strike at the young cleric.
Attack: 13 Damage: 2
The zombie swings its arms wildly but Codric manages to block it with his shield.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Raziel darts to one zombie that is attacking Codric and with one quick thrust of his rapier from the back, Raziel leaps over the zombie and Codric disengaging and backing safely away until the elf can flank another zombie for a sneak attack
Sword already in hand, the Goliath rushes forward as the elf disengaged from the creature. Holding the sword as though it were still in its sheath, Draythos brings it up in a slash across the zombie's torso from left hip to right shoulder. He would then disengage and position himself behind the cleric to assist in keeping these monsters contained.
Ed clenches his fist as smoke begins to elute from between his fingers. He thrusts his hand forward and a small concentration of flame launches from his palm towards the closest corpse still standing.
He rushes towards their enemies to stand shoulder to shoulder with the goliath and draws the two shortswords from his hip.
Kriv begins muttering again and points his staff towards the doorway. The bonfire disappears and reappears in the doorway.
The bonfire (5 foot cube) is positioned so that a) it is not touching his friends b) it is centered on the doorway as much as possible... but if shifting it one way or the other puts it in contact with one or more zombies, it does that
If the zombie is still "alive" it needs to make a DEX 12 save or take 5 damage
Two zombies pass through the fire to walk past the undefended point in the open doors. Three more get very close to the opening, but cannot move quickly enough to keep going. The zombie engaged with Codric attacks the cleric.

And is still standing, though most of its flesh has burnt away.

Raziel darted around Codric and placed himself in a flanking position once again on the zombie attacking Codric. The elf switched tactics however, driving his rapier for the zombie's skull with hopes to end the zombie soon. He'd disengage and dart around the party to move towards Draythos's flank. He couldn't do much more except stand shoulder to shoulder with the monk, rapier and dagger at the ready.
