 Zombie #1 connects to Eddie. Eddie goes down.
Zal's spell works and Kae's eyes flutter open.
Zal & Kae may act.

"Ack! Huh? Oh, uh... thanks Zal. Still fighting?" Kae, disoriented from being knocked unconscious, stumbles to her feet and quickly surveys the area. "Oh shoot, Eddie!" She grabs another handful of rocks from her rock pouch and gets their little chrome rings activated. She puts a bit of distance between herself and the zombies, then chucks one of the stones towards the zombie that is both close to Eddie and seems to be in especially bad shape. "Eat rocks, you filthy revenant!"

Movement: 15 feet to get up from Prone
Bonus Action: Magic stone on 3 rocks
Movement: 15 feet away from zombies
Action: Attack the same zombie that Eddie attacked by throwing a stone: 13 (8 + 5) to hit, 8 (5 + 3) bludgeoning damage

I'll retroactively include his Attack of Opportunity here:
Rc: AoO vs Hippy Guy.
Unarmed Strike - Attack: 18 Damage: 4 of nonmagic bludgeoning.

"Among other things!" Zal curtly replied as he once more found himself bound to repeat the same process of reviving an ally. "C'mon, slick! This ain't no time to be nodding off on the job. I've given ya the last that I got, so make it count!" Added the half-elf before finally taking up the spear once more, and readying to slay another zomboid.

Ma: Move as necessary to get within 5ft of Eddie.
Ac: Cast Cure Wounds on Eddie to restore 8 HP.

Kae gets back up and fights. She launches one of her magic stones at the Zombie that attacked Eddie.
With a sickening thud, the rock slams into the zombie and passes through the side of its head. It falls.

Zal attacks the fleeing hippy. His aim is true but, it hits another magical shield that instantly appears and blocks Zal's attack. 
Zal's hands glow slightly with a green glow. He touches Eddie on the forehead and the green glow spreads across Eddie's body. 
Eddie is back up. 

Eddie grabs his rapier and slashes at the Zombie that was attacking Zal.
Hit: 24
Damage, if hits: 7

Eddie slashes the Zombie. Its head wobbles then falls to the ground. Its body collapses to the ground after.

Top of the next round, only Zombie 4 is up.
Everyone may act!

"Good on ya Slick! And you too, Kae! Now! Let's' put this last one back in their grave before they start wondering away to 'cause no end of troubled elsewhere!" Zal said as he brings his weapon once more down upon the skull of the last zombie.

Ac: Stabbing some zomboid in the face!
Attack: 18 Damage: 5 nonmagical piercing.

Kae chucks another chrome-ringed stone towards the last survivor (as much as a zombie can be said to ever survive). It propels itself through the air until it lands right on the spot where Zalos's weapon just struck. "I wonder if these guys actually have graves. Probably not, if they were killed in a cave-in. Maybe they've got cenotaphs somewhere or other?"

Action: Attack the zombie by throwing a stone: 20 (15 + 5) to hit, 4 (1 + 3) bludgeoning damage

The remaining Zombie falls and does not get up. 
End of combat!
Actions?

Confused, Zalsosultuvan just stares over to Kae for a good little while, before with a "Wait! Fu-Shoot!", he whips around to look in the direction the hippie ran off. "Or for the love of Helm, this is some bogus ass--" He cuts himself out with a huff as he stabbed his yklwa into the earth to scratch his head in frustation. "I can probably still track'em down while the trail is fresh. But magic types like that one like to pull all sort of lame crap to make things complicated."

He then looks to Kae and Eddie. "And neither of you are in the best shape. So, I, er, hold on." Zalosultuvan lets out a sharp whistle to call Cornchip back to his side. While she's mustering the courage to do so he continues, "So, like, hmn... well, I'll sooner pay a visit to the nine than I would let that hippie come back and hide these. So, I say we head back. I'm gonna take at least one of the zomboids with us back to the orchard. Let them call in a priest or doctor in town in the morning, and confirm they got messed with."

Kae slowly puts her rocks back into her rock pouch. She seems satisfied that the battle is over. "Yeah, I really appreciate that forest wizardry you gave me and Eds, but it still probably wouldn't be a super great idea to go and jump into another fight. I mean, you can't really judge a spellbook by its cover, can you? That magic man could have tons of spells that, like, kersplode people, all waiting in reserve. I wanna see the dude get his dues as much as you, but we should at least try to face him when we're at our best."

Kae helps Zalos lift up a double-dead miner for transporting back to the orchard. Then, out of the corner of her eye, she spots the floating translucent hand that she somehow summoned earlier. "Oh, uh..." She waves to the hand, and it waves back. "Wacky." Half mentally and half somatically, she guides the hand over to the body and has it help lift as well. "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, I guess? Although it seems unlikely that this particular horse even has one..." She swipes at where the wrist of the hand would be, would the hand have a wrist, just in case the hand is just a translucent bit of a whole transparent guy. The swipe just goes through air. "Yeah, prolly not."

It takes some time but the party makes their way back down the path, the corpse in tow.
As you travel you feel chill from the cool night air.
You fumble around through the path for about an hour when the adrenaline dump of being in a battle catches up with you. As soon as that happens, coupled with the wounds you suffered from the battle, exhaustion hits you.
You have to make camp.

Watches? Actions?

Zal is quiet during much of the journey, as carrying the dead even with assistance was no easy task, and he wanted to be as far along as possible. Even as exhaustion burned away the dregs of adrenaline, his usual stubbornness had him gritting his teeth and trying to keep up the march. He might've too, if it had just been him and CC on the trail. But one look at the others leads to him eventually quietly urging Kae to help him lower the body just a couple feet off the path, then take a moment stretch sore limbs and catch a breath. 

"Hate to say it, but this'll be as far as we go. Least 'till morning." He confesses. "I can get us a campfire going, but it'll have to be a small one to keep the notice down a bit. Tho', we might have other nightly visitors thanks to stinky. If you two can figure out a way to, uh, tone down the smell, than be my guest -- er, withOUT destroying it, if you don't mind." Zal gives Eddie and Kae a serious look. "And, uhh... uh... what else, uh -- oh! Right! Decide amongst yourselves too who's taking second and third watch. I'll take first once everything is all set. Got it?" 

Kae roots around in her pouches a bit. "If you want to mask a smell, I'm pretty sure I have... aha!" She produces a few tree-shaped air fresheners, which she throws down next to the corpse. "Minty fresh, and it smells just like the forest! Perfect!"

Magical Tinkering: Cause three objects to continuously emit an odor (in this case, that of pine trees) in the area

"I can probably manage most of the last couple watches on my own. 'Cuz, y'know... elf. Assuming I can get the trance thing figured out. I've got a hunch though. Trancing is supposed to be, like, meditating, right? Well, tinkering is very meditative for me! Maybe if I just do nothing but tinker, I'll get all my energy back. I mean... I've tried it before, and it super didn't work when I was normal me, but..." Kae shrugs. "It's worth a shot, yeah?"

"Oh, and speaking of tinkering! Eddie and Zal, do you guys mind if I borrow your weapons tonight?" She addresses Zal, "A bit ago, I put a little thing on Eds's bow to beef it up a bit, but I just got an idea for how I could use it on your... uh... spear thingey." She turns around to Eddie. "If it doesn't work well, I can just put it back on your bow, don't worry! I just wanna test it out."

Eddie nods and says he will take 3rd watch, if that's good with Kae.
Encounter rolls:
1: 10
2: 16
3: 1

You settle in for a rest.
During Zal's watch, Cornchip makes a low growl and looks off to the north of the camp.

Before watch...

Zal snapped his fingers and points to Kae with a smile, digging her suggestion. But when it came to such speaking points as to trancing and tinkering, the half-elf had to pause for a moment in whatever he'd happen to be doing at the time and rubbed at his chin quietly in thought.

"...According to my mom, there's a bit more to it than that. Though considering you weren't born an elf or even mixed blooded like myself before then, things might be a bit more... awkward and confusing for ya, dollface." Zal confesses frankly. "I'd offer to teach you what little I know of the whole thing, but for now.... yea, for now keep the experimenting to a min. And if you do manage something, feel free to a double shift with Eddie, if nothing else."

Zal then looks to his spear. "Can't say I'm too thrilled having a mechanic of all things go at my Freebird here, but.... eh! If we're gonna be dealing with more giant snakes, zomboid hordes, and lame ass Hippie wizrobes, any edge I can get is better than nothing." With that, he offers the spear, and for the moment resolves to using his spare walking stick and his wits as his weapon for the remainder of the night....

Back to the Present...

Hearing her growl, Zal looks up sharply with a frown, squinting into the darkness and tried to find the source of CC's worry even as he moved to stand more so between her and the potential danger. Only after at least the attempt does he nudge Kae's side with the end of the stance to get her attention with a softly utter, "Company" mean for her ears only.

Perception: 21.
If disadvantage due to dim lighting or range: 17.

It takes Zal a couple of nudges to break Kae out of the weird state she's managed to lock herself in, where she moves slowly and basically blocks out everything around her, like she's just decided to turn off half of her brain. "Huh? Oh, okay. Uhhh... you can have your weapon back if you want, but I didn't finish the modification. Or start it. But that's just 'cause..."  She holds up a little model car that she obviously made herself. It has plenty of metal and not much paint. As in, no paint at all. The sight makes it very apparent why cars are usually painted in the first place. Curiously, there's a sizeable hole in the roof of the car that doesn't seem to serve any purpose. "Ta da! And and and..." She produces what seems to be a miniature turret, which she slots right into the top of the car. "Ta da!"

Eldritch Cannon: Summon a Tiny Force Ballista with "legs"

"So, company?" Kae takes a look around, noticing CC staring off in the distance. She sets her new creation on the ground, then slowly pulls her crossbow off of her back.

Zal is able to make out a figure peeking out from behind a tree about 70 ft. away. 
The figure, humanoid in appearance, peeks out then moves back behind the tree.
