Nadaar fell into a sorta trance as blades continue to swing in the air. The world having all but disappeared; save for the opponent to his immediate before him. For instance, another's face had interposed itself onto the skeleton's own. Too face for him to recognize, but jarring enough to notice. With gritted teeth, Nadaar went from intricately weaving the blades to and fro into slashing at whatever exposed joints he could to finish the skeleton off.
He doesn't miss a beat should it fall, and would after which rush past to the others, noting the Healing Elk in passing, but failing to fully process its magnificience before thoughts turned on assaulting the next still hostile fray just north of everyone else.

Blue flame blade @z3 no bounce: Attack: 12 Damage: 8 + 5
Z3's ramen fists are just a bout to connect, and Zack, seeing the fact that the attack was actually coming for his face, and that he didn't have time to dodge, called once more on that shimmering shield, his entire body effused with a blue aura that flared to life the second before the attack hit, deflecting it entirely. The aura fading moments later, as quickly as it came. he was getting more used to his powers, and making them work. And as his head turned back to meet the zombie, unable to hear Nadia's silent hiss, nor her quiet appreciation to the elk. But he finally had his bearings on a field full of passive targets.
And if they all truly were just fish in a barrel.... Clear out the ones that are close.... and move on.... Taking a strike at Z3, who had just attempted to fondle his scar. The blade once more igniting in that azure hue as it sought it's target. The rest should be fine now, right, Angar? he says, as he tries to take out the last of the closest ones to the core of the group. Before finally responding to Nadia Good then! unfortunately, in that moment, he was distracted just enough to miss...

Z9-> A Attack: 7 Damage: 2
A-> Z9 Attack: 7 Damage: 10
SA12 -> Nadaar Attack: 4 Damage: 4
Nadaar attempts to gracefully strike S12 as he goes into a trance like state. Unfortunately for him he clumsily messes up his footing causing him to tumble over and miss his attacks. While he stays standing he finds that he is in a position where he can not retreat without opening himself up to attack (cannot use disengage action on next turn) Meanwhile Zack cuts Z3 in half with a strong swing, the corpse falling over in a burst of blue flame.
Angar looks at Z3 as it falls and nods to you Zack. Yes. Just the skeleton by Nadaar and this one here in front of me. The rest should be passive. Let's finish off the already annoyed ones before taking care of the rest this time! As Angar finishes speaking Z9's fist swings to hit him in the head. However Angar is quick to block the blow with Yorick and go for a strike of his own which connects with the zombies skull with a sickening crack. Well I suppose I can take care of this guy soon enough on my own. If you want I'd recommend starting with the skeletons. Just don't look at the Bodak or attack it until the rest are down!
While Nadaar is in an unfortunate position, the S12 makes another claw attack against him, this time cutting his snout in the opposite direction giving Nadaar a bloody X on his face.
Nadia winces when she sees Nadaar miss his attacks with the skeleton doing a number on his face. The elf turns back to her elk spirit and says quietly, “Ayudalo, por favor.” The beast simply bows in understanding and begins to graciously move past her to Nadaar to give its support to the Dragonborn.
'By the nine that stings! Why did it have to be that spot' Nadaar thought as he tried to maintain a defensive form while one arm blocked off the bleeding scar. The same weak point made by Krul all those days ago. Even as his vision began to swim the Dragonborn stayed stand, if albeit half dazed for a few seconds. Which why in the confusion, seeing the skeleton fall and the stinging cease from the elk's "mere presence" warranted a confused glance up by the dragonborn before he shrugged it off.
"Thank you, Spirit, I suppose. Now onto the next one." He says as he moved on to strike down the next closest Undead to him, now that most of the non-aggressive ones seemed to be well in hand. This time Nadaar didn't lose himself in the moment, or at least tried to while trying to cut the creature down.

BFB@ 11 or 8: Attack: 25 Damage: 13 + 6 (No bounce targets available)
Zack nods, as the one he had been fighting seconds before ceases to be an issue, and finally responds to Nadia We're doing good, thanks to Nadaar shouting at them. Keep up the good work Nadia. I'm going to move to where Nadaar is and we'll both work our way around to the bigger *****... Just keep supporting us from there beautiful. Unless the one Nadaar had attacked had fallen... He'd head to 11 himself. Don't care if you need the help. With two of us focusing one down, and with most of them useless at the moment, this will clear them out faster, and reduce the time they're 'pissed' sorry if this somehow upsets you. If not he'd move to 8.
If however, he got close to Nadaar, he'd dip his arm into the elks body for just a second.. letting the healing energy flow through him for a moment before striking..... out at it, his blade once more engulfing in that same azure flame as he strikes out at the enemy. Coming in an upward angled slash from a low hit, that would send most things flying if they died under its force.

Z9-> A passed save Attack: 17 Damage: 7
A->Z9 Attack: 24 Damage: 5
Nadias arrows strike the joints on S12 shortly after it strikes Nadaar once again. As the arrows collide with bone the creature falls apart in a pile of inert matter. Taking the opportunity to move on, Nadaar moves over to the next closest skeleton but misses with his first swing. The 2nd scimitar strikes but only barley, doing minor damage to the creatures bone. The once passive skeleton turns to face Nadaar, now back in the fight it raises its sword arm to strike. Just as it does the skeleton is swept away in a bright blue flame as Zack easily destroys the creature in one quick movement. Angar hears Zacks comment and turns to glare at him as he runs off. Nadia can hear him ask Yorick Did he just ignore us stopping the worst of it? His momentary distraction seems to be enough that he doesn't react in time to stop the Zonbies fist from hitting him hard in the face. Now visibly angry Angar simply apologizes to Yorick saying Sorry buddy but you never were great in a fight Angar reaches out a hand and mutters and incantation. A spectral, skeletal hand appears next to the Zombie in from of Angar, and acts like a mirror of his own hand. With it his grasps the zombie tightly and when he does so the zombie starts to squirm and shrivel until the lingering soul is fully removed. He releases his grip and the hand dissipates and the corpse slumps to the ground.
Unable to speak, the spirit gives a blank stare to Nadaar at his thanks and watches him move onto the next enemy followed by Zack soon after, the beast then turning to Nadia for her instruction. The elf nods with a small smile on her face. "Gracias. Siguelos. Estaré bien aquí," She reassures them, nodding her head in the boys direction, and soon the creature would be in their general vicinity again, healing their wounds with spectral stems.
Nadia only really hears the second part of what Zack says in regards to her back up, the elf giving him a thumbs up and a wink. "You got it, papi!"
As she's drawing another arrow from her quiver, she overhears Angar's comment, earning a light chuckle from her. "Hey, if it makes you feel better, I appreciate you pacifying them for us." She gives him a cheeky smile before turning her attention to the next undead target.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Nadaar just shoots Zack a confused look for the last comment before just brushing it off as paranoia. While had claimed earlier having the one skeleton well in hand, and still believed it to be true despite the injuries, the more militaristic training of early life had long since taught him to not let pride get in the way of victory. A difficult thing for most dragonborns on a daily basis, but one hammered home long ago.
Besides, who was he to balk at some spirit ally striking down the dead?
'Although-....' He thought for instance only to ultimately cast aside the train of thought. Focus. This was what was needed, and so it was the Dragonborn rushed the next undead to finish what Nadia started with a beheading passing stroke. Then turn on the one next in line with another, rib tickler of a downward cut from the offhand.

Nadias first arrow strikes #8 in the rib cage causing the calmed skeleton to awake with fury. In an attempt to finish it off she fires again but as she looses the string of the bow comes loose at the top causing the arrow to fall limply to the ground. The string hasn't come undone completely luckily, and the bow is still useable, but the draw is much lighter than it should be and her attacks will be less effective. (-3 dam to all bow attacks until bow is repaired)
In an attempt to steal someone elses kill for once Nadaar rushes in to cut down the skeleton, but his sword simply bounces of its rotten armor. His next attack is focused on the remaining skeletal alchemist, but the first attacks failure throws off Nadaars momentum and thus his second attack cuts only air. The skeletal alchemist just calmly stares at him disinterested, almost more insulting than anything else.
Nadaar rushes past Zack in a dance of blades. Zack himself following not long after. And just before he passed 8, the arrow striking it and awakening it in a humorous rage, much like someone sleeping at a party, only to be awoken by the prankster with cream pie... slipping just behind it and then.. placing himself in that perfect nook between 8 and 7 Mostly to keep his face away from the Bo-dork. As he spins around, conscious of Nadaars location, he brings the sword down from behind like a big, thin, hammer. Once more lighting on fire as it seems to be doing the work.... Seeing the elk follow them, he nodded silently in Nadia's direction.
As the skeleton Nadia injured waked up and shakes off Nadaars attack, Zack walks up and cuts it down before it has a chance to do anything. Angar just stands there looking at the undead still standing (except the Bodak) and decides to let the group finish taking out the remainders. Slowly one by one you clear out the remaining undead, leaving the Bodak for last. You all gather around the tree to discuss a plan of action. (Keeping initiative order but combat is suspended)
By now Zack was feelign a faint burning in his arms. One could only swing around a weapon this large for so long, no matter how much training one had with it before the pain of use began to set in. But for him, it was a pleasant burn. As they stood around by the tree, Zack would say This may sound overly simple... But I think the easiest way to deal with this is to have myself and Nadaar on opposite sides... With Nadia off to one cardinal side or the other .. Like a T. Whoever its facing, keeps their eyes closed, while the other attacks, and.. when it's turning to face it's attacker.. IF it does... Nadia.. or whoever it's turning to face calls it out... closes their eyes, and the one who's eyes were closed before... can then open them while it's still safe.
Sound liek a plan? if so... I'll take the front first.
Restored at least somewhat by the healing energies of the spirit over the next few moments of execution, Nadaar had a bit more of a spring in his step. Unfortunately, Zack's suggestion is met by a grimace out of the Dragonborn. "We will have to make that initial round of attacks count. For after which, short of Hlal finding it amusing enough, we shan't get a second when a simple turn of the head and a glimpse is all it needs to work its foulness."
He looks to Nadia and Angar. "I'd suggest keeping your distance as well as you can if you do not need to. I feel.... If there are more tricks to this thing, best some our ready." On that note, unless either Angar or Nadia wished to voice an added point, the Dragonborn took up position behind the creature, and with his gaze averted as just a cautionary method, readied his blade to strike as soon as Zack or Nadia opened up.

The elk spirit dismisses itself as it finds that it's time is up, Nadia bowing just as they do prior to disapperating into the air as she whispers, "Gracias de nuevo por la ayuda. Descansa bien." With the spirit gone and she feeling much better than before, she turns and listens to the plan being explained as her hands work on re-tightening the string on her bow. "Sometimes you just gotta do it the simple way to get the job done," She says with a shrug, giving Zack a small smile in reassurance. "But yeah; keep our distance, give it all we got, be mindful of any surprises, look away when needed. Understood."
"Just, uh, be careful," Her gaze scans over the boys, her eyes lingering on the fighter just a few seconds more. "All of you, seriously. Having your life sucked out of you isn't exactly the most pleasurable experience in the world. Who knew?" With a snort, she moves into position and readies herself to take a shot at the creature.
Zack shook his head, simply not responding to Naadar but thinking to himself Gotta quit taking everything so literally man. obviously the first round has to matter. But not planning for what comes after is the bad choice. The initial rage the fighter had shown was gone. As it was likely toed to thinking he'd just watched her die. It had been replaced with the atypical seriousness he usually had during a fight. He too had dipped into the spirit as much as possible, until he felt better, and before it disappeared.
As Nadaar setup behind the creature.. Zack waited until Nadia had finished stringing her bow.. or attempting to and either gave the 'i'm ready' or 'just start..' sort of reactions. Then, keeping his eyes at the ground, he shifted so that he would be mostly behind the creature. Then.. when everyone seemed ready... His blade glowing blue once more... He charged at the thing from behind but also at an angle that.. should it look instantly, it wouldn't be at either of the N's, his sword out to slice the creature as he ran by, his eyes closing the moment the blade connected as he shifted to be as close to in front of the creature as he could, eyes shutters, and ears perked....
Apart from some brief confusion and a squint, Nadaar shrugs off Zack's vague response to get into position. Now was not the time to question or try to parse more human subtext. He could only hope his taking initiative by moving would be enough. That, and the lack of talking wasn't going to be an ongoing thing. Otherwise, well... However much he prefered silence over poorly thought out "jests", difficulties in communicating strategies would just not do.
Not with something or 'one' capable of calling a Bodak ally...
Seeing his moment in Zack's charge, Nadaar tries to go in low with a sweeping cut in hopes of maybe hamstring the thing and carrying on into a defensive stance with a flourish of both blades.
Action:Readied Attack. (Main-Handed)Scimitar - To Hit: 15 For: 3 non-magical slashing Damage to Bodak-senpai. (Spending final Bardic Inspiration for Defensive flourish, adding 7 additional damage to target and to Nadaar's AC.
Nadia's gaze flickered between the fighter and dragonborn, mentally sighing at the slightest bit of tension she felt between them. Now isn't the time to dwell on this, but if it persists...When they concluded the plan and Nadia got herself into position, she gave an affirming nod over to Zack, and soon after he swung his sword on the bodak, Nadia let loose the first arrow right after Nadaar's follow up...

He looks to Nadia and Angar. "I'd suggest keeping your distance as well as you can if you do not need to. I feel.... If there are more tricks to this thing, best some our ready." On that note, unless either Angar or Nadia wished to voice an added point, the Dragonborn took up position behind the creature, and with his gaze averted as just a cautionary method, readied his blade to strike as soon as Zack or Nadia opened up.

The elk spirit dismisses itself as it finds that it's time is up, Nadia bowing just as they do prior to disapperating into the air as she whispers, "Gracias de nuevo por la ayuda. Descansa bien." With the spirit gone and she feeling much better than before, she turns and listens to the plan being explained as her hands work on re-tightening the string on her bow. "Sometimes you just gotta do it the simple way to get the job done," She says with a shrug, giving Zack a small smile in reassurance. "But yeah; keep our distance, give it all we got, be mindful of any surprises, look away when needed. Understood."
"Just, uh, be careful," Her gaze scans over the boys, her eyes lingering on the fighter just a few seconds more. "All of you, seriously. Having your life sucked out of you isn't exactly the most pleasurable experience in the world. Who knew?" With a snort, she moves into position and readies herself to take a shot at the creature.
Zack shook his head, simply not responding to Naadar but thinking to himself Gotta quit taking everything so literally man. obviously the first round has to matter. But not planning for what comes after is the bad choice. The initial rage the fighter had shown was gone. As it was likely toed to thinking he'd just watched her die. It had been replaced with the atypical seriousness he usually had during a fight. He too had dipped into the spirit as much as possible, until he felt better, and before it disappeared.
As Nadaar setup behind the creature.. Zack waited until Nadia had finished stringing her bow.. or attempting to and either gave the 'i'm ready' or 'just start..' sort of reactions. Then, keeping his eyes at the ground, he shifted so that he would be mostly behind the creature. Then.. when everyone seemed ready... His blade glowing blue once more... He charged at the thing from behind but also at an angle that.. should it look instantly, it wouldn't be at either of the N's, his sword out to slice the creature as he ran by, his eyes closing the moment the blade connected as he shifted to be as close to in front of the creature as he could, eyes shutters, and ears perked....

Apart from some brief confusion and a squint, Nadaar shrugs off Zack's vague response to get into position. Now was not the time to question or try to parse more human subtext. He could only hope his taking initiative by moving would be enough. That, and the lack of talking wasn't going to be an ongoing thing. Otherwise, well... However much he prefered silence over poorly thought out "jests", difficulties in communicating strategies would just not do.
Not with something or 'one' capable of calling a Bodak ally...
Seeing his moment in Zack's charge, Nadaar tries to go in low with a sweeping cut in hopes of maybe hamstring the thing and carrying on into a defensive stance with a flourish of both blades.

Nadia's gaze flickered between the fighter and dragonborn, mentally sighing at the slightest bit of tension she felt between them. Now isn't the time to dwell on this, but if it persists... When they concluded the plan and Nadia got herself into position, she gave an affirming nod over to Zack, and soon after he swung his sword on the bodak, Nadia let loose the first arrow right after Nadaar's follow up...
