Dragons of Stormwreck Isle [2][IC][2024]

Dirk’s face is smashed by the brute force of the undead.  He retaliates with a shillelagh powered club and a slash of his scimitar.

Action attack club 7 for 11 bludgeoning

Extra action (nick) off hand attack scimitar 15 for 5 slashing.

Bonus action Shillelagh.

Object interaction drawing scimitar.

Zombie 2 dex save 6

Both zombies look damaged, especially zombie 1 which is now in a rough shape. It looks like one or two more hits would finally drop it... or would it? Despite the damage, it hasn't slowed down, its dead eyes still locked on Dirk.

Round 2

Back to Onji and Marin

Marin will use his bonus action to Disengage from zombie 1 and Dirk, then dart over to attack zombie 2 near Ash. Marin will first thrust with his shortsword and then hopefully if it hits follow up by stabbing with his dagger. And finally he will use the remainder of his movement to put 10 feet or more between him and zombie 2.

Shortsword Attack: 11
Shortsword Damage: 15 piercing damage.

Dagger Attack: 10
Dagger Damage: 4 (max, because I don't add anything)

I wanted to make it clear that you can still attack from the lower deck on the next turn (round 2) if you want (using your Action) even if you have Disadvantage on that attack, 

Onji decides, that there is enough space to attack with his bow.  He grabs the Bow, notches an arrow, mumbles a quick prayer to not hit his team, and lets his arrow fly.

Attack: 14 Damage: 10

Attack: 14 Damage: 10  Checking it out this was a disadvantage as the other one rolled higher.  Also not sure which zombie to aim at, I guess Zombie 1 as that one is by Dirk.  And the other one has both Ash & Marin.

Zombie 1 con save 25

Zombie 2 con save 23

Both zombies look really roughed up now and should by all account be dead... but there seems to be more fight left in them.

Zombie 1 tries to slam Dirk with its soggy arms again. Attack: 13 Damage: 6

Zombie 2 squelches as it moves to do the same to Ash. Attack: 6 Damage: 3

Over to everyone else.

Marin sidles back into the mix with zombie 2 and Ash. He will strike again like last time with shortsword and dagger against zombie 2.

Shortsword Attack: 24
Shortsword Damage: 7 piercing damage

Dagger Attack: 11
Dagger Damage: 1 piercing damage

Ash will strike again with his staff.
Hit: 19
Damage, if hits: 11

Hit: 20

Damage: 9

Irtos will again call down Divine Flame on any zombie still standing.

DC 13 dex save to avoid 6 Radiant damage

sorry for going out of order.

Zombie 1 dex save 12

Zombie 2 con save 22

Marin and Onji already had their turns this round so their attacks don't count.

Both zombies are still kicking, it is up to Dirk to finish one of them. Will he succeed? 

Dirk again lashes out with his club and scimitar.

Attack 21 damage 7 force

extra attack (nick) 5 damage 2 slashing

Zombie 1 con save 18

After all the slashing and bludgeoning, the zombies are still alive! Barely, but they just refuse to die!

Next round, back to Marin and Onji

Marin will strike again at zombie 2 hoping he can finish it before it can make another attack.

Shortsword Attack: 26 (WooHoo! the crits are back)
Shortsword Damage: 13 piercing damage.

Dagger Attack: 26 (No way... is the roller busted or something?)
Dagger Damage: 3 piercing damage.

(if the first attack kill zombie 2 then I will move to make a melee attack (or just throw from where I am since Finesse allows me to use DEX for both) against zombie 1)

Finally, after the creatures defied death over and over, Marin's blades find the precise marks needed to sever whatever dark magic held them together. The two drowned sailors collapse on the floor, finally unmoving.

End of combat. 

What do you guys do next? 

"Are those things always that hard to kill?" Ash asks his fellow adventurers. "I've never faced such things but they seem to be really hard yo battle. Just imagine a full troop of them?" he reflects on the last of his statement.
