The zombies continue towards the group, their moved hindered from escaping by their irresistible dancing compulsion. Divine flames strike the zombies, taking them down one by one. A couple of the zombies get close to the party (will roll randomly, 1-6 in alphabetical order) and attempt to grab them.

Jaylin rushes forward towards the necrodancer. He points to two of the zombies futher back, who attempt to sandwich him in, preventing him from reaching the necrodancer. Both basically attempt a grab on him. "Ah, ah, ah! You need to play with the minions first! Them's the rules."
Jaylin rushes forward, the first zombie grabs a hold of him, then divine energy strikes down his glaive, turning the body to powder. The second zombie is only slightly wounded from butt end strike, but managed to grab hold of Jaylin's hands.
Johann struggles with the zombie in front of him as it somehow manages to get a hold of his hands too. The two zombies use their strength granted by undeath to pull their respective grabbed people closer as they begin slowly dancing a ballroom-style dance.
"Yes, see the might that is necrodancy!"The necrodancer attempts an evil cackle.
Johann's currently got his hands held by the zombie, preventing him from doing somatic components. He attempts to blow the zombie away, but its firm grip prevents his casting. This necrodancer is a devious one, his minions finding ways to debilitate casters...

Warren walks up behind them twirling one of his daggers in his hands. As the pair dance they circle around, and at the moment the zombie is facing away from him and between him and Johann he sinks the dagger into the back of it's neck.

Warren sneaks up behind the zombie and with a sly flourish, the zombie collapses, freeing Johann.
"Curses!" The necrodancer says with a smile. "Minions, guard my escape so I may look for more!" He calls out, the zombies begin to pair up and dance in the passageway between the party and the necrodancer as he moonwalks away from the group, giving them a thumbs up.
As with Johann, the zombie has a firm grip on Jaylin's hands, meaning he can't strike with his weapon yet. (DC 12 escape attempt, yadda, yadda, yadda...)
Kithre spins about, easily avoiding the grasp of the zombie dance partner. As she does so, she tells the zombie off. "No no no, green fiend! You don't just grab a lady to dance, you ask POLITELY!" Her last word surges with a twisted magical tone that only the zombie can hear.
(Casting Dissonant Whispers as a second level spell. DC13 WIS save or take 19 psychic damage and immediately use its reaction to run away from Kithre. 9 psychic damage and no need to move on a success.)
Brazzak inhales a lungful of air, then begins to cough and splutter from a bit of dead skin flakes getting into his system. The lightning goes a bit of everywhere, leaving singes on the zombies, but they aren't completely destroyed.
(Crit happens, man...)

Johann does NOT like this one bit. He will cast Gust on the zombie holding him. (DC 13 Strength Save) All he says is, "Oh that's not a good smell."

Brazzak strikes at the zombie holding Jaylin.
"I am so confused."

Kithre spins about, easily avoiding the grasp of the zombie dance partner. As she does so, she tells the zombie off. "No no no, green fiend! You don't just grab a lady to dance, you ask POLITELY!" Her last word surges with a twisted magical tone that only the zombie can hear.
(Casting Dissonant Whispers as a second level spell. DC13 WIS save or take 19 psychic damage and immediately use its reaction to run away from Kithre. 9 psychic damage and no need to move on a success.)
Kithre manages to evade the zombie's encroaching tango while Johann thrusts the zombie off of him and straight into Brazzak's weapon.
The zombies, now repelled from the party, are in a nice little formation in the hallway to the next room (if only someone had explosive breath...)
“Brazz, I’ll let you in a little secret ok, when you’re adventuring like this you’re allowed to use your breath”

Wrenching his dagger out of the zombie, Warren notices the rest clumping up. He turns around and looks at brazzak and with a sweep of his had.
”bras, if you would please do your thang”
Sighing, Brazzak repositions himself to line up as many zombies and as few allies as possible.
Sucking in a lungfull of air, he lets loose with a huge belch that crescendos up into a clap of thunder. A line of lightning steaks out from his jaws.
5 by 30 ft. line (DEX DC 12, half damage on success)
Damage: 6
