Zombie's Slam vs. Aldric = 13, Miss Zombie's Slam vs. Rumble = 17, Hit for 3 bludgeoning damage
The lady zombie stumbles forward as Rylan's whip, Rumble's axe, and Arkun's mote of light slam into it one by one. The creature lurches, picking up speed and giving chase as the trio fight for space in the tunnel that led into the room, catching up with Arkun. The jester zombie, its cap jingling, grabs ahold of Rumble's arm, trying and failing to bring the big man down. Aldric's axe carves into the bear zombie's hamstring, toppling it to the ground. The creature has no real way past the armor at Aldric's legs, slamming its fists against the metal while Sylra drops radiant flame upon it.
Round 2 Order: Players <===== Zombies
Placement: Arkun is engaged in melee combat with the lady zombie. Aldric is engaged in melee combat with the bear zombie. Rumble is engaged in melee combat with the jester zombie.
Health: The bear zombie is severely wounded. The lady zombie is wounded.
Arkun sees the lady zombie lurch forward toward him, he holds up his staff and swings at the thing, aiming for the head. “I guess this has to be… horrible things! Go down to your rest, lie down and gain peace, whoever you once were!”
Shillelagh : 22 to hit, for 5 points of force damage.

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
Rumble grimaced a little but refused to buckle from the jester's assault. If anything, the attack began stirring something within the earth genasi, as a growl came out unbidden as the haft of another handaxe finds its way into his hand. "Tyr give me strength!"He spoke through gritted teeth as he brought the weapon down hard. But having retreated previously into tighter quarters, he could only bring so much to bear while slamming the axe into the arm of the Jester.

OOC: Attacking with advantage as I didn't see anywhere in your post that the zombie got up after it was knocked prone. But I'll roll them separately in case I'm wrong.
Aldric narrows his eyes, but remains in complete control as the zombie at his feet bangs harmlessly against his greaves. He raises his axe toward the ceiling then bends at the waist and brings the weapon down upon the undead menace.
Attack: 7, 17; damage: 9; no need for topple since it's already prone
While Rumble's axe tears through the sinew of the jester's arm, rendering its riposte useless, Arkun's staff dents the lady zombie's skull inward. The stubborn creature continues toward the druid until Rylan severs its head from its shoulders. Aldric, meanwhile, brings his axe down into the skull of the bear zombie, leaving only the jester to flail uselessly against Rumble as it burns slowly from Sylra's radiant light.
Round 3 Order: Players <===== Zombie
Placement: Rumble is engaged in melee combat with the jester zombie.
Aldric considers stomping hard on the bear zombie's face to make sure it stays down, but when he hears the continuing sounds of battle, he moves to help. He marches into melee with the creature and swings his gore-spattered axe at the remaining threat.
Attack: 8, damage: 8, if it hits, topple weapon mastery
Despite being the one the most engaged with the Jester, Rumble is so put off by its very being that he hesitates to swing his axe again. But in seeing the others free to start ripping into the jester, the earth genasi swallowed his discomforts, took a steadying breath as its battered around, and then if it yet still stood after all other assaults, he'd bring his handaxe down straight for its skull; the light of lantern still held in his opposing hand remaining undisturbed despite the intense movement.
Action: Strike with a Handaxe. (Melee, Lethal)Handaxe - Attack #1 - To Hit: 15For:6nonmagical slashing damage to Jester Zombie. (IF at adv. from target being toppled, the to hit becomes 18 instead)
(OOC: The flat d20 roll was for in case of advantage, which came to a 13. With the appropriate modifiers added to it's an 18)

Aldric's axe ends what Arkun's magic and Rylan's sword begin, and the jester zombie is in pieces by the time Rumble's axe separates it further. The macabre zombie display is spread throughout the room as undead viscera, with none of them moving any longer.
Area Description:
The natural passage widened out into a star-shaped cavern with many clefts in its walls. Only two of the clefts, across the cavern from you, are large enough to actually traverse.
OOC: Each character has received 30 XP for defeating the zombies!
After the pieces of the Jester fall to the floor, Rylan begins jumping up and down growling, through gritted teeth. "I. Don't. Like. This. Dead. Things. Should. Be. Dead. Gods. Damn. It."
As he finishes his little outburst, still quivering, he looks to the others and says, "Sorry, I just... Needed to get that out." He looks to the others and points to the different passages.
"Which of these should we..." His voice trails off, out of breath, not able to finish the thought.

"WhooOooOo~ Woof! Not the cleanest work by any imagination, but-..."Rumble pauses mid-stretching of his back to regard the Jester with a mixture of both sadness and relief. "I'm sure if there was any shred of the soul that once occupied that body left in it, they 'preciate what we did all the same...But, in any event, it's all good Rylan. Ain't like it can be helped. And as far as courses go, well, ain't like we got much clues yet on he best path. So, might as well go that way."He gestures towards the southern most one. "That way, we're keeping relatively to the outskirts of the Rock, before working our way inward as need be, yea?"He suggests as much, yet would look to Aldric as if seeking approval.

Aldric watches Rylan as he releases his pent-up anxiety. Once the human has finished, the half-orc's nostrils flair as he breathes in. "So, we shouldn't touch any bodies, but we can't ignore any that are still walking around either."
While Rumble makes his suggestion, the knight gives everyone an appraising look and determines the novice is the only one of the group who is actually hurt. Luckily, even that seems minor. Everyone else is just splattered by undead remains.
He catches Rumble's eye and clocks the man's wish for praise. But instead of giving him any visible sign of agreement, Aldric only sucks on a tooth and gives his axe a spin.
The half-orc once again moves toward the southwest passage. This time, however, he takes the lead instead of offering to protect the rear. His axe and shield at the ready — and not hesitating — he enters the passage.
