This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ura watches Ander go down the stairs, her eyebrow twitching just a bit. Turning to her remaining three teammates, she grimaces. "I'll be right back. Hold the proverbial door open for me, will you?"
Skipping down the stairs, she sees Ander standing before her and immediately sidesteps, moving right next to the clerk boy. Murmuring a few arcane words, she raises her sword high over her head, feeling the electricity crackling through the blade. Then with a swift motion, she swings it towards the zombie right next to the boy. "Well, you've really lived up to your potential, haven't you?"she tells the clerk as she's fighting off the undead menacing him. "Why don't you surprise us all by getting off your duff and following me upstairs?" With that, she turns and flees, giving Ander a brief wave as she climbs back up the stairs. Once she's behind the barricade with the others on the upper floor, she keeps moving until there's enough room for Kel, Anearis, and Uthal to position themselves around the stairwell.

Elevator forgot about the additional Sneak Attack damage from Ander: 6
As quickly as she appeared, she was once again gone. Z1 took the strike from Ura, but even though it successfully hit, causing the zombie to fall to the ground, it continued moving, in a prone stance.
Z3, another prior human, this being a woman of some size both in height and girth, followed the suit of Z2, and smashed at the still downed clerk. Attack: 18 Damage: 6
The weight of the decaying woman was enough to effectively injure the clerk, knocking him out. The boy now sprawled on the floor, was unmoving, the torch and explosive falling to his sides, still in his hands.
Kel grit his teeth, unwilling to compromise the set position despite the man taking point being reliable with a blade. Ura was at the very least capable of skirmishing effectively the way she danced into and out of the fray. Should the man in armor get dragged down however, he would be hell to secure and drag up stairs in a fighting retreat. As cold as it would seem, Kel had mentally written off the clerk as a combatant, surprised he didn't demand the undead cease their shambling for trespass against the Watch, destruction of Watch property and have them deal with themselves by lighting himself aflame.
"Ser Anders! Fall back enough that we can cover you!" Kel held his pike at the ready in the event any undead reached the ten foot length it provided him.
With the corridor getting crowded with fighters and undead, Anearis evaluated the situation for a moment. Kel, Ura and Ander were already engaged with the enemy. His eyes turned to the uncounscious clerk. He had been a real thorn in their side, but he didn't deserve such a terrible fate. At least, that was what Anearis thought. He ran forward to rescue the boy. He passed his arms around the clerk's shoulders and began dragging him back to safety, as close to the make-shift barricade they had managed to build.
Once the clerk was out of danger, Anearis began trying assess the clerk's wounds and keep his condition from deteriorating any further.
Grabbing the unconscious boy, Anearis successfully dragged his body from the danger zone. As he did so, Z1 lashed out at them. Opportunity Attack: 23 Damage: 3 Additional damage from crit hit: 6
In a true show of having been eating his wheaties, the elf lugs the armored boy off the ground and manages to sling him to the base of the stairs, behind Ander, even as Anearis is hit by Z1’s smash to his knee.
Anearis falls to the ground, beside the boy, before having a chance to stabilize him.
Z4, an undead elderly elvish man in tattered robes moved to fill the space which the clerk had previously lay, bumping into the others as he shambled forward. During this drawn out trek to get into a position for attacking the nearest living meat, Ander, the creature's robes pass over the clerk's torch, which was now on the floor. The edge's of the robe's remains begin to smoke, though the creature appeared to lack the ability to notice or care.
Z2 moves past Z4, to surround Ander as well ((moving to A6 (top row, sixth grid from the left) on discord map)), however, the flames of the still lit torch fail to light his decaying clothing. Z2 attacks Ander: 6 Damage: 2
Ura sees Uthal hauling up an unconscious Anaeris and says "Again?!" Then she looks down and sees the clerk's body on the stairs… notably missing his torch and his dynamite pack. "Well, shossorcs*!" she swears in elvish. "I'm going down," she says curtly to Kel and Uthal, before diving into the fray.
Stepping uncaringly over the poor clerk boy's body, she scans the room for the torch and the stick of dynamite.
Investigation Check: 12
Spotting the dynamite, Ura makes a dive for it, slashing at the zombie in her way and trying to snatch the explosives away from the fire. As she retreats back up the stairs, she yells at Ander: "It's suicide to make a stand here! Bring the boy or don't, but get your ass upstairs!"

Z3 flanks Ander, cutting him off from the stairwell. A clever maneuver, had the creature had the intelligence, for it to be intentional. Realistically, the undead corpse simply found the only opening for it to lay its hands on living flesh.
Kel watched with cold calculation as each member of the band of travelers passed beyond the barricade to perform recovery. He gave Ura the slightest of nods as she bounded down and back again as she had done before. Ander was getting surrounded and the elf Anearis was lingering at the edge of the shadowlands somewhere behind the tiefling. Kel said nothing. He watched intently as the battle unfolded before him and stood his ground behind the barricade. Either things would swing to their favor or he would have his feet planted when the world moved.
Uthal crouches down to place Anearis gently behind some cover muttering a bit in giant at the elf. spare the dying He then returns to the line, grabbing one of the long spears from the wall to hold the line.
