the first Zombie surprisingly quick swings at T'chal

Attack: 12 Damage: 5 missing

T'chal'fronack'zcinicker, surprised he's now in a fight whips out a rapier which he wields with surprising grace, and swings at the creature. Attack: 23 Damage: 8 

The slash rips across the front of the zombie, while he speaks out loudly, "Kerric!  We've been attacked without provocation by a mindless undead creature. The warning out front did not state anything about undead used as local security. By both the terms of public rights edition 2322.B.23, which is the most recent and current version, according to Section D23 on Self Defense, you are permitted to destroy the said undead without prejudice and without threat of legal action by an potential master of undead. You should feel completely in your rights to attack this creature!"   (this 'inspires' proud Kerric.  Kerric gains 1d6 inspiration die for the next 10 minutes.)

Reghys, standing on the flat rock and in full view of the two undead throws their dagger at the first one, hoping to make it stick somewhere in their decaying rib cage. Then, the satyr starts stomping a savage war beat with their hooves, before singing:

"The heat is on, on the street
Inside your head, on every beat
And the beat's so loud, deep inside
The pressure's high, just to stay alive
'Cause the heat is on

The heat is on - flames are burning higher
The heat is on -baby can't you feel it
Yeah, it's on the street
The heat is on- i can feel the fire
The heat is on- flames are burning higher"

Reghys is using their bonus action to throw the dagger, and then is casting heat metal on the dagger.

22 for 4 damage from the initial dagger impact.
Heat metal for 7

OOC: The die roller didn't like me changing the 7d8's to a d20, sorry.

The first zombie staggers a little but dies not fall

Reghys' dagger hits Z1 in the forehead which when followed by the heat metal causes its head to explode --3  luckily the zombie splatter only covers T'chals foot

Z2 swings its arm at Tchal Attack: 11 Damage: 4

Kerric:

Stepping up to the second zombie, Kerric swings with a wide slashing strike at its center mass.

Elven Curved Blade attack with Bardic Inspiration:  19 + 6

Elven Curved Blade Damage:  6

Kerric swings cutting the zombie across the midsection

Ebele would sweep in to compliment Kerric's attack with a follow up of her own. Just as before with the last zombie, the monk would repeat the same flourish, sending blows to the Zombies head.

Staff Attack: 19 Damage: 4
Unarmed kick: 9 Damage: 3

Ebele cracks the staff across z2s back then kicks it behind the knee.    It starts to turn towards her

Xalkas seeing the still standing zombie turn towards Ebele panics a little, fearing for the safety of the berry cider maker. He begins running towards the zombie attempting to leap on to it’s back and stab it in the head with both daggers simultaneously. 

Xalkas slips on a little gore but lands with 1 dagger

after the fight Reghys realizes The boulder is stained with dry blood.

Xalkas get a good running start towards the zombie but fails to notice the splattering of zombie entrails near T'chal'fronack'zcinicker causing him to slide into the remaining zombie instead of leaping onto its back. The resulting moment is enough to knock the zombie to the ground giving him easy access to its noggin.

Xalkas quickly plunges his daggers towards the creature now exposed cranium “Leave my cider maker alone!” He shouts as the dagger in his left hand barely misses, the dagger in his right however finds its mar, right in the middle of the creatures forehead. He turns to his companions, “Should we investigate this room further? Or take one of the tunnels next?” He says calmly as though nothing had happened.

T'chal'fronack'zcinicker raises his hand, "Well, just before we continue, I think we should make clear the rules of our wager. I'm afraid it could get quite complex if we're not careful, so I suggest we revert simply to, whomever downs a creature, gets a score. This was the initial implied intent, and anything more complicated seems unpalatable.  In such a case, I believe Ebele has one point, Reghys has one point, and I am left with zero points. Hopefully we three can agree on this?  Xalkas, nice kill, but as you are not part of the bet I'm afraid it does you no good." 

Glancing around for acceptance from Ebele and Reghys, he nods. "Now, let us just take a closer look here."  

He glances down at the box, and at the boulder, and the bodies, trying to determine any pattern or detail that means something. "Xalkas, would you mind giving me a hand investigating this?"  (the second roll is the advantage if Xalkas helps him) Investigation :  19. 8

Kerric:

Keeping an eye out for threats from the unexplored tunnels, Kerric waits for the others to finish their investigation and asks, “Which way from here?  North or South?”

Perception:  16

T'chal'fronack'zcinicker attempts to look under the rock if it seems it might move. 

He shrugs to Kerrick.  Then fishes a coin out of his pocket. "Left is heads."  1 (even is heads) 

"The coin says go left." 

Investigation Reveals

a broken box, loose stones, zombie body and parts   and the flat boulder is covered in dried blood

as far as you can see down either passage :  they look like cave passages
