Khessa's Greatsword Attack: 11 Damage: 13 (slashing)

Z3's CON save: 14

Z5's CON save: 9

Z8's CON save: 23

Jack sends forth another crackling bolt of energy, while also showing off his fancy footwork, though no one is paying attention. The power strikes the zombie in the chest, and it falls to the ground. It tries to stand, calling upon its undead fortitude, it manages to rise once more, and begin to shamble forward again. 

Tabitha swings her mace once again, the solid hit connecting to the forehead of another one of the foul creatures, which stumbles backwards into the path of Khessa's mighty blade, which cuts the creature down for good. 

Ketangu slinks forward, spear in hand, and delivers two powerful blows to one of the abominations, first a vicious stab then a whip-like pseudopod strike, which falls and doesn't rise again.

As the rest of the party slays the zombies, Kit swings her blade, back and forth, holding off a particularly persistent and tough zombie which doesn't seem to stop. It takes multiple cuts and slashes, but is not quite done for. 

Z3 & Z5 both are dead. Well, destroyed. Z8 & Z7 are almost done for. The rest are all injured at least somewhat

Erven and Mud, you know what to do!

Erven leans in, pulling his bowstring to full capacity and launches another arrow, at Z7.  He feels the satisfying twang as the arrow goes straight to its mark.  He gauges distance between him and the remaining zombies, trying to determine whether to wade in with his short sword.  

Long bow : 17 to hit, for 7 points of piercing damage.  

Mud grunts as one of the zombie manages to slam a heavy fist into his side. It wasn't elegant strike, barely worthy of being called an attack, but it hurt nonetheless. "Platinum One take you," he growls under his breath and his fist crackling with lightning swings towards the zombie that hit him. It was a good thing that none of his family was around to hear his curse; while it wasn't a terribly offensive one, they all would have been quick to reprimand him. The thought brought a slight grin to his face. He knew far worse curses than that one, and to be honest, he was a bit eager to finally use them without his family constantly being on his case about it. 

Shocking Grasp against Z6: 22 Damage: 6 lightning damage, and it can't take reactions until the start of its next turn. If it hits, Mud will retreat a bit to put some the melee characters between him and the zombies.

Z6’s CON save: 18

Erven lets loose another deadly arrow, which soars through the air before skewering his foul foe. The horrible abomination falls to the ground, writhing and twitching, but as one of its companions had done, it rise again and once more begins its relentless assault.

Meanwhile, Mud fists crackles with power as he swings arcing lightning at the head of another zombie, it connects with a satisfying crack and a sizzle, and the creature goes rigid, paralyzed momentarily by the jolt. Taking advantage of this, the Dragonborn slips back behind his friends, keeping him safe from harm. For now, at least

Z1, 2, & 6 are bloodied. Z7 & 8 are almost done for. Z4 is somewhat injured

Zombie’s Turn!

The dark creatures one again shamble forward, hungry for flesh. Their grasping hands claw at the party, ready to devour

Ketangu surges forward like spilled Jello and attacks Z4

Spear 

25 to hit 7 damage - Rolled in game log

Unarmed Strike as bonus action. He headbutts the zombie with his Dread helm.

19 to hit 5 damage - Rolled in game log

He then retreats to 10ft behind Kit provoking no opportunity attacks. 

Kit continues to bring down her longsword in overhead strokes, using gravity to her advantage as she hacks at the seemingly relentless foe...

(Longsword against Z1 again Attack: 22 Damage: 5)

Erven watches Z6 and Z7 close the distance and swing at him, but the elf manages to dodge their blows, nimbly ducking out of the way.  Now that they are closer, with one of his ducking motions he sets his bow down on the ground and when he raises up, he pulls out his short sword, a look of furious anger on his face.  “Stay down you foul abomination!” he says out of gritted teeth.   

Shortsword attack to Z7 : 15 to hit, for 13 points of piercing damage.  

Tabitha once again manages to dodge the blows, not even relying on her armour to absorb any impact. She then retaliates against Z8.

Attack: 26 damage: 11 magical bludgeoning.

Lance is then commanded to attack Z4 (assuming Z8 dies and Z4 is still alive): 23 for 8 force damage

Seeing the downed clumsy corpse (Z8) stubbornly rise again, the young dark-haired man in the back rolls his eyes and groans, stepping back closer to find a clear shot at it again, blasting it with a greenish beam of eldritch force from his outstretched hand.

Eldritch Blast: 13 Force: 14 Necrotic: 4

He then again steps back again, giving place for the markswoman Kevori to use her bow.


(Did Kevori have some problem firing her bow last round? ;-)

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.

 

(Longsword against Z1 again Attack: 18 Damage: 11)

 Original rolls were attack 21 & damage 8

Z4’s CON save: 5

Since Tabitha managed to destroy Z8, which zombie would Jack like to target instead? If Z4’s save is 13 or higher, it is still up and kicking

And Kevori, well…you’ll see

(Closest still standing zombie, first placing the hex on it)

Mud throws at a crackling bolt of lightning that wraps around one of the further zombies. The electricity coils around the undead, and then starts to pull the zombie closer to the group, hopefully within the melee range of his allies.

Lightning Lure: You create a lash of lightning energy that strikes at one creature of your choice that you can see within 15 feet of you. The target must succeed a DC 14 Strength saving throw or be pulled up to 10 feet in a straight line toward you and then take 8 lightning damage if it is within 5 feet of you.

Z2’s CON save: 14

Ketangu once again slithers forward, striking with both helm and spear, repeating the process which has worked so well before. His strikes wallop his foe, sending the zombie stumbling back, right into the clutches of Lance, who rends the undead into shreds. Meanwhile, Tabitha swings her trusty mace, crunching the skull of another zombie, sending it sprawling, down for the count. Kit continue her assault, slow and steady, sword strikes falling steadily like the beat of a drum, and her foe is almost done for. Ervin delivers a powerful, vicious strike to another of the foul creatures, which falls and doesn’t get back up. Jack waves his hand, and with a twist of his wrist, sends a bolt which strikes another zombie and sends it to the grave. Or, rather, back to the grave. while all this is going on, Mud summons a whip made of his innate power, coiling it around one of the remaining zombies and attempting to ensnare it.

Z6’s STR save VS Lightning Lure: 15

Z1 is severely injured. Z2 is bloodied. Z6 is somewhat injured. The rest have been destroyed.

Khessa, you know what to do!

Khessa grits her teeth and resists, while the two tenacious restless corpses pepper her with blows. Her armor cushions the impact and her powerful physique does not give way, but at least a bruise must have formed, under her chainmail, where that slam landed on her chest.

The blonde arcane warrior responds by bringing the pommel of the heavy greatsword to impact violently against the rotting head of the undead who struck her, thus gaining space to swing the heavy blade in a slash at the collarbone.

[[ OOC: Khessa gets hit by Z1 and attacks it with her Greatsword ]]
