Holding his rapier in one hand and the torch in the other, Tarlin responds to Bumble: It is not only the living that can play instruments and by the sounds of it it surely isn't being played by someone with the finesse of finger movements like Decus. Let's not lower our guard.

Taman: you take the thing that caught your eye, its a longsword, but it's slim and the craftmanship is notable, you recall your days in the monastery the old masters had weapons like this one, the name katana comes to your mind.

everyone: You go through a narrow passage, that is about ten feet high in most places, with rough, irregular walls. Protruding spurs on the walls are coated in dried blood.

After a while the passage opens to another chamber.The star-shaped cavern ahead has many clefts in its walls. Only two, across the cavern, seem large enough to traverse. Three zombies lurch about the area. One is costumed like a bear, another is dressed as a lady in a frilly dress and thick makeup, and the last is costumed as a jester with jingling bells on its collar and sleeves, he is playing a rusty lyre and moving in a unnatural manner trying to resemble a dance. 

Decus looks on the sight in a sense of horrifying awe. "This, this is, creepy" he says changing his gaze between each of the characters individually. "Do they not see us, or have they not been ordered to attack, you think?"

Taman takes the sword and cleans the scabbard of dust and debris. It is surprisingly polished under the dirt. The pommel is covered with strips of black leather around manta ray skin. The guard depicts a dragon and he feels a special chill when he closes his hand around the pommel and unseathes the sword a little bit. He admires the work of the steel and how the more flexible steel makes a wave motion around the hardened steel that forms the core of the sword, where the master weaponsmith folded the steel around itself, thousands of times until the correct shape and resistance is attained. He has passed the last years of his life studying and practicing to weild one of those weapons and he knows that he doesn't deserves it yet but he cannot let that weapon in that cave. 

He looks to the corpses of the zombies his companions had destroyed and didn't recognize any monk or warrior of its order of other order in neither of them. 

His companions walking down the corridor he rushes to join them and not to be alone in the darkness. He was amazed seeing the bizarre scene. 

"Do we... " he doubts how to formulate the question " Does anyone knows of someone who can be able to reanimate corpses and loves this song to this... point?" 

Bruce looks at the dancing zombies not quite sure what to make of it. He lifts his Great sword to attack them but hesitates as he is not sure which one to hit first. 

Without a better idea and not wanting to hit a woman Bruce decides to take out the jester. "Take that clown." 

Attack 23  damage 10 

Arix: 3 zombies enacting a play....

Skeletons usually do this, but not zombies. I think a mad necromancer lives in here.

Ezekiel, somewhat dumbstruck, shrugs and charges the bear-dressed zombie.
Attack: 15
Damage: 9

Decus watches on as his group strikes out against the Zombies. He takes spear in hand and makes his way towards the zombie dressed as the fair maiden. "I am sorry, but this is abnormal life, I lay thee to rest", he strikes out with his spear hoping to end the life of the zombie as 'humanely' as possible.

Spear Attack: 10

Spear Damage: 9

you caught the zombies mid interpretation.

The jester lets go his lyre, and silence takes over for a while as they stop dancing, and slowly turn around towards you opening their mouths letting out a chilling scream and jumping towards your group.

^Attacks and ddamage

Initiative (focus on Precognition, advantage to intiative rolls): 19 vs. 12

 Attack (Dart): 18, Damage: 6

Whoever controls these zombies is not immediately seen. Shade decides to hang back and take out the minions until the real target shows.

(*To clarify the warning baner above, I accidentally used 1d20 for the dart dmg. As much as I would love it, a dart can't do 18 damage...*)

The look a bit roughed up but they are still standing and they are angry. Arix is the first react and uses her training to exert  huge amount of force concentrated in her fist and rams it against the corpse then when she tries to hit her opponent with an open palm, the suit makes the zombie look a lot bigger than he really is and hits just a bear fur, not making contact with the rotten flesh beneath. Not being afraid to hit a woman, even an undead one, Bumble moves her hands and a ray of blue arcane energy shots directly at the unnatural moving maiden. 

The undead are not gonna stand there and start attacking the last person that hurted them so 

Bear:9 => 4 damage to Arix, the corpse makes a punch that resembles a real bear and  even makes a sound like one would do.

Maiden : "she" start tumbling towards the gnome, bit the ice forming around her dead body prevents her from going too far.

Jester: angry that he wasn't allowed to finish uses his lyre to attack decus 21 => 4 damage

Bruce wants to make sure that off key never sounds ever again he lifts his great sword and with a mighty swing down, as the zombie launches to attack decus he chops his arms off along with his head (undead fortitude 20 vs DC 16 [11+5]).

Shade decides to hang back and take out the minions until the real target shows, but not wanting to leave her companions totally alone launches a dart to the one that looks like a bear, the dart hits the target and the bear falls. (undead fortitude 7 vs DC 8 [3+5]).

Decus sees a pair of hands coming to his face ready to tear him appart

swoosh! 

the hands fall to ground without their original owner, wich falls in the ground the head still chomping, but no longer a threat. Decus now focuses his attack on the girly dressed rotting pile of flesh just next to where the jester was, and with a strong thrust of the spear the weapon goes in and out as the frilly zombie turns around to lash at Decus , Tarlin goes behind her and with a swift movement pierces the right through the head of the zombie finishing her (undead fortitude 8 vs DC 13 [7+5]).

Ezquiel watches as all the enemies fall, but just as he is about to seathe his sword the body of the jester without hand nor head starts to rise and begins walking towards the group, thinking quickly, he swings his weapon and sends the undead body flying to wall.

Edit: posted an unfinished version, I kept the results.

Edit 2 : I made some booboos sorry Arix and Tarlin

150 exp for everyone

2 notes.

1: Arix is female. 2: I punched twice.

The monk stands guard in case more enemies approach due to the conmotion.

[Perception: 3. ]

Still the foul stench of the zombies made him very close to throw up. Wich kept him to be really aware of his surroundings. He tries of beign as far as posible of the zombies.

Taman: You hear faint steps but can't quite locate where the sound is coming from.

The star-shaped cavern ahead has many clefts in its walls. Only two, across the cavern, seem large enough to traverse one is at the south west the other at the south east.
