After the first bolt whizzes past, Peri's hand moves like a blur as he snatched the second out of the air. (No roll since his minimum damage reduction is 12)
Boko rolls her eyes at the two gents who insist on staying out in the undead horde. She casts aura of vitality and wildshapes into a cave bear. She hopes that the hits she took didn’t make her sick or turn her into a zombie.
If no one is headed back to the kitchen then she will surge into the melee to roar and distract from Qivys and Peri.
Though he had been planning to run up the stairs and confront the mysterious shooters, Gerrard sees Qivys take a series of nasty attacks and follows Boko into combat in the open room. Muttering to himself something about "tactical repositioning" and "choke points", the young noble engages the nearest Drowned Blade.

Gerrard Feldren - Human Noble in Ghosts of Saltmarsh
Kerric Brightblade - Elven Warrior in "Apocalypse"
He positions himself between Boko and the shooter, hoping to deflect any incoming arrows. She was all that was keeping them in the fight now. He points to the shooter and shouts, "Thwack! Kill that @#$& with the crossbow!"
Peri glimpses of a masked figure on the floor above, near the door to the bedroom, trying to hide after its volley of bolts. It was corpselike, like the others, but wearing a full gnarled wooden mask. Stepping in front of Boko and keeping a careful distance from the zombie-like monsters, Peri lashes out at the closest – the last one carrying a sword.
He hits it all four times, but it's still not enough to take it down (but close!)
Meanwhile, the two unarmed corpses step over Qivys' fallen form to take on Gerrard with three unarmed attacks each. Unarmed Strike #1 vs. Gerrard: 23. Hit: 5 bludgeoning damage, and Gerrard must succeed on a DC 12 CON save... Unarmed Strike #2 vs. Gerrard: 13. Hit: 5 bludgeoning damage, and Gerrard must succeed on a DC 12 CON save... Unarmed Strike #3 vs. Gerrard: 6. Hit: 8 bludgeoning damage, and Gerrard must succeed on a DC 12 CON save...
Unarmed Strike #1 vs. Gerrard: 10. Hit: 11 bludgeoning damage, and Gerrard must succeed on a DC 12 CON save... Unarmed Strike #2 vs. Gerrard: 21. Hit: 11 bludgeoning damage, and Gerrard must succeed on a DC 12 CON save... Unarmed Strike #3 vs. Gerrard: 9. Hit: 5 bludgeoning damage, and Gerrard must succeed on a DC 12 CON save... (Did Gerrard already fail this save...?)
Peri sees the masked figure again, appearing out of the shadows above and firing at him: Hand Crossbow Attack #1 vs. Peri: 15. Hit: 6 piercing damage plus 3poison damage, and Peri must succeed on a DC 12 CON save... Hand Crossbow Attack #2 vs. Peri: 12. Hit: 5 piercing damage plus 4poison damage, and Peri must succeed on a DC 12 CON save... It then vanishes into the shadows. (Hide. Stealth: 10)
Peri's barked order spurs Thwack into action. Hugging the wall he slinks up the stairs until the masked attacker comes into view.
The shadowy figure may have attempted to hide but Thwack's keen eyes soon pick him out. He stops and waits a second, making sure he hasn't been spotted. With a deep breath he takes aim and points his finger at the crossbow wielding assailant. With an inaudible hiss he let's fly a solitary brain-dagger.
Thwack slips up the stairs and crouches low behind the balusters. (Thwack Hide: 16) He can just see the masked figure Peri pointed out, but it doesn't appear to see him at the moment. He launches a psychic blade into its dead mind.
Boko is up next! (And then the Drowned Blade looking at Peri and Gerrard with his rusted blade drawn and readied.)
The Drowned Blade remains inert as Bokobear charges forward over it, saving her second savage attack for the unarmed Drowned Ascetic nearest her. It is torn and damaged, but far from down.
Peri, Gerrard, and Qivys may act next! Two ascetics and one upstairs assassin remain in the fray.
...But the impact of his mental blade seems to have shattered whatever foul arcane enchantment was keeping this thing animated. It stays down.
(Thwack may use his BA elsewhere if he chooses, and Boko may act next.)
Peri:
After the first bolt whizzes past, Peri's hand moves like a blur as he snatched the second out of the air. (No roll since his minimum damage reduction is 12)
Boko rolls her eyes at the two gents who insist on staying out in the undead horde. She casts aura of vitality and wildshapes into a cave bear. She hopes that the hits she took didn’t make her sick or turn her into a zombie.
If no one is headed back to the kitchen then she will surge into the melee to roar and distract from Qivys and Peri.
Peri catches the bolt and remains in the fray, while Bokobear charges in, an aura of healing energy prepared to deliver shortly.
The two Drowned Blades, ignoring Peri and Boko, continue their assault on Qivys.
#6 Rusted Longsword Attack #1 vs Qivys: 24. Hit: 8 slashing damage
#6 Rusted Longsword Attack #2 vs Qivys: 17. Hit: 11 slashing damage
#6 Rusted Longsword Attack #3 vs Qivys: 11. Hit: 6 slashing damage
#7 Rusted Longsword Attack #1 vs Qivys: 7. Hit: 7 slashing damage
#7 Rusted Longsword Attack #2 vs Qivys: 9. Hit: 8 slashing damage
#7 Rusted Longsword Attack #3 vs Qivys: 21. Hit: 10 slashing damage
Peri, Gerrard, and Qivys are up next!
Both foes manage to pierce Qivys deeply with their rusted, barnacle-encrusted blades. Crit damage: +6, +4.
Peri, Gerrard, and Qivys are up!
Gerrard:

After 4 attacks successfully strike the dwarf, Qivys drops.
Death save #1: 14
Qivys goes down, and so does Gerrard's new target. (Rolls: 18, 5)
...And it stays down.

Peri is up next!
Peri:
Peri lashes out at the nearest corpse:
Attack #1: 14 for 9
Attack #2: 9 for 7
FoB #1: 21 for 7
FoB #2: 27 for 6
He positions himself between Boko and the shooter, hoping to deflect any incoming arrows. She was all that was keeping them in the fight now. He points to the shooter and shouts, "Thwack! Kill that @#$& with the crossbow!"
Peri glimpses of a masked figure on the floor above, near the door to the bedroom, trying to hide after its volley of bolts. It was corpselike, like the others, but wearing a full gnarled wooden mask.

It then vanishes into the shadows. (Hide. Stealth: 10)
Thwack and Boko are up next!
Gerrard has not failed a save…yet. He attempts to parry the first attack that would have otherwise hit.
Reaction to Parry: 8
Gerrard Feldren - Human Noble in Ghosts of Saltmarsh
Kerric Brightblade - Elven Warrior in "Apocalypse"
Adroitly parrying the first hit, Gerrard dodges all but one solid hit…
Constitution Save: 18

Thwack
Peri's barked order spurs Thwack into action. Hugging the wall he slinks up the stairs until the masked attacker comes into view.
The shadowy figure may have attempted to hide but Thwack's keen eyes soon pick him out. He stops and waits a second, making sure he hasn't been spotted. With a deep breath he takes aim and points his finger at the crossbow wielding assailant. With an inaudible hiss he let's fly a solitary brain-dagger.
M - heads up the stairs against the wall
BA - Cunning action to Hide
A - Psychic dagger Attack: 16 Damage: 10
SA - 16
Thwack slips up the stairs and crouches low behind the balusters. (Thwack Hide: 16) He can just see the masked figure Peri pointed out, but it doesn't appear to see him at the moment. He launches a psychic blade into its dead mind.
Boko is up next! (And then the Drowned Blade looking at Peri and Gerrard with his rusted blade drawn and readied.)
Bokobear tears into the corpse readying itself for an attack, and then whichever one seems most torn up should it fall.
Bite Attack: 10 Damage: 13
Claw Attack: 13 Damage: 8
Then, a tendril of healing magic from her aura of vitality reaches out to Qivys and heals him for 5 hp
Doubling the claw attack dice damage for the crit: 11
Bokobear charges forward and tears the sword-bearing corpse into pieces. (Rolls: 12, 12)
Qivys wakes up.
The Drowned Blade remains inert as Bokobear charges forward over it, saving her second savage attack for the unarmed Drowned Ascetic nearest her. It is torn and damaged, but far from down.
Peri, Gerrard, and Qivys may act next! Two ascetics and one upstairs assassin remain in the fray.
Peri:
Peri's astral arms whip out from beneath Bokobear and thrash into the remaining dead thing.
Attack #1: 10 for 5 force
Attack #2: 9 for 10 force
BA Attack: 21 for 9 force
He tries to position himself again to intercept any incoming bolts, shouting at the assassin, "I see you coward!"
