Undead in Skyraker, One-shot

(Since it is a surprise attack, everyone gets advantage but everyone already hits.)

 As both Brozznan's and Kastor's attacks hit, the dead seems to gain a burst of speed, evading Nicola's flare. Sylvester throws his dagger, landing straight into the chest of the other zombie. Yet it still stands even as Sylvester follows up with another slash. The creatures groan as they turn their attention towards the party.

Roll for Initiative

Sacred Flame to the zombie I attacked last turn.

Brozznan removes another bolt and loads his crossbow. He aims the sights and launches another bolt toward the same zombie. 

Attack: 7 Damage: 7 

(Happy holidays to all, hope all had a wonderful time. And just to inform, I will hopefully get back into a daily posting routine during the holiday cooldown. I apologize for any period of silence that might occur.)

 Sylvester attacks once more, slashing at the zombie's legs as he slides between them. Brozznan's shot is off as it nearly hits the zombie from before but misses. Nicola's flame singe the zombie this time as it cannot avoid it.

(Kastor is up.)

Kastor will once again Produce Flame and hurl fire at the zombie Nicola hit.

Attack: 17 Damage: 2 

 And just as it seems Kastor lands a final blow upon the zombie, it remains standing. Then it goes towards the party as it tries to rush to them. The zombie before Sylvester groans as he tries to attack back at the halfling.

Attack: 11 Damage: 2

Sylvester will yell out as he notices the zombies are not falling to the onslaught. “They seem to fall when Nicola brings down her Deities wrath.”

Despite being hit Sylvester has his ever present grin and continues his attack on the zombie. 

Attack: 25

Damage: 3

(OOC: I'm confused as to what's going on. We're fighting 2 zombies, right? I think I got a bit lost because everyone posted their actions without waiting for the DM to resolve any of them, including a zombie that should have gone in the midst of our attacks. And then I only saw one zombie roll an attack. So I must've missed something. Did one of the zombies die? I didn't think they had? Did I just miss a DM post with Zombie 1's actions? I've read through a couple of times and still struggling to keep track) 

"I noticed that too, Sylvester! Host, aid me in bringing these zombies their final rest!"

Nicola casts Sacred Flame on the zombie that Kastor tried to down.

Damage: 4

(So I might be confusing Zombie 1 and Zombie 2 here, DM let me know, but I think this is what happened. The DM resolved my, Sylvester's, and Brozznan's actions in the first post, then resolved your action, Zombie 1's action (to attack Sylvester) and Zombie 2's action (to lurch toward us) in the second post. These were resolved out of initiative order. We did enough damage to down Zombie 2, but it made an undead fortitude save and came back to life.)

(Actually, I've got it all confused since I switched back to another way of managing fights instead of numbering it like the way I did before for you all. So a bit of a retconn and change back into what you guys are used to.)

1. Sylvester slashes Zombie 2 with his daggers, 19 damage total to Zombie 2
2. Brozznan shoots another bolt but misses Zombie 1
3. Zombie 1 throws himself towards the party, dashing as best it can
4. Kastor lobs another ball of flames to the zombie 1 as it charges towards the party, 15 damage total to Zombie 1
5. Nicola calls down another flame of radiance as it singes the zombie 1 to death. Zombie 1 dead
6. Zombie 2 attacks back at Sylvester, 4 damage total to Sylvester

(So to clarify, the zombie that was charging was zombie 1 but with Nicola getting a killing blow with radiant damage, it negates any death save for him. Zombie 2 is in a melee with Sylvester. And with the updated initiative order now being the entire party before the zombie.)

(Ah, that's helpful, thanks.)

Kastor is going to keep producing more flames and hurling them at the zombie.

Attack: 15 Damage: 9 

Sylvester continues his blade dance around zombie 2 and makes another attack at the zombies legs. 

Attack: 8

Damage: 1

1.  Sylvester slices up the Zombie 2, 22 damage total to Zombie 2
2. Brozznan sets his sights onto the last zombie, shooting it straight into the chest. It knocks down the zombie and pins him to the ground. As it struggles for a short while, it suddenly goes limp as it goes back to being dead.

Encounter Over!

"Well done!" Nicola says, surveying the scene. She tuts silently about the party's wounds and makes a note to herself to use some of the job's earnings to purchase potions of healing for when divine power is in short supply.

The eternal autumnal grove gives her an eerie chill. She prays for Guidance and tries to pick out anything additionally peculiar about the natural surroundings, trees and terrain.

Nature + Guidance roll: 4 + 3

Is there anything notable that stands out about the grove now that we're a bit closer to it and without the imminent zombie threat, especially the mound in the center?
