This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As the glaive diced the hand, Warren flies out of the darkness dagger stretched out. He lands prone as he impales the already motionless appendage. He looks at it, then up at Jaylin.
"Oh. You got it. Right"
He stands up and dusts himself off. He Jaylin a smile and then darts off back into the darkness (D->G->H->I)
(Just to confirm, there is larger than a 3x3 area. It was just for showing how people were moving around. Each room being about 50'x50'.)
Warren heads back into the darkness, kicking some of the bones on the ground as he goes. Looking around, there are quite a few destroyed skeletons lying around. As he heads through another couple of rooms, the faint silhouette of some small shambling forms can be seen coming towards him. (About six small sized undead) It appears the noise attracted them towards where the party are.
(I'll give Warren a chance to dart back to the others or do something else)
Warren runs back to the group, no attempt made to be quiet. He gets to the entryway infront of Johann he stands there dithering.
"Um theres... Down there.... Ugggggghhhhh (he raises his hands and imitates the zombies).. there's lots of dead things down there and they're coming this way! Cool?"
With that he darts behind Brazzak, peaking out from behind the dragonborns huge body.

Unfortunately Warren isn't a Lightfoot Halfling, so can't use his ally for hiding cover.
As the group is being updated on what's going on, the groaning noise seems to come closer, as six zombies begin to be seen on the edge of the torchlight. They appear to be halflings in tatty robes with remnants of shrouds clinging to them.
Scenario: The zombies are 40 feet away, just on the edge of the torchlight. There is a smattering of bones along the floor, but not enough to hinder movement. The ceiling is around 20 feet high, and the zombies are headed towards the 15' gap between them and the party, attracted by the signs of life.
(I know he can't hide, just felt appropriate RP :) how many turns would it take for Warren to peel off the back and sneak around through the other room? I'm assuming he cant use dash as that would negate the stealth)
Based on how far away they are, it'd be about 30 feet to get into the next room, then 30 feet to get to the doorway of the room after that. (Using the sample from above again)
| A | B | C | | D | E | F | | G | H | I |
You're in D, they're coming towards the group in E. 30 feet gets you into A, 30 more feet gets to the entrance of B.
Kithre smiles as she sees the clumped up zombies shuffling forward. She points and a haze of green light fills a large cube of space, trying to encompass just the halfling zombies.
Casting Faerie Fire, DC13 Dex save or they are outlined in the glow and shed 10 feet of dim light. Attacks against outlined people are at advantage.
Jaylin steps forward to put himself between the zombies and the party (Party -30'-> Jaylin -10'-> Zombies). He has an action, should he want to do something, like ready to attack a zombie when it gets close enough, or dodge to keep himself on the defensive.
Kithre casts a faerie fire out into the group of zombies as they shamble forth.

Three of the zombies are illuminated by the magical fires. The illumination makes the zombies clear to see and easier to attack (you have advantage on attacks vs. Halfling Zombies 2, 3, and 6)
Actually, poll arm master, Jaylin strikes first (Han Solo reference)

Regardless, the zombie hand is definitely dead this time.

Walking backwards from the group, Warren heads back into the first room they entered and merges into the shadows.

Warren slinks into the darkness of the prior room, blending in with the shadows.
