laid back apocalypse

Kerric:

Leading the way down the passage on the left, Kerric attempts to be both stealthy and perceptive.

Stealth:  6

Perception:  7

Ebele’s eyebrows would raise in surprise from Xalkas’ burst of spunk, chuckling to herself when he doesn’t skip a beat to move on to investigation.

The monk would pat her nose a couple times in though just to keep T'chal'fronack'zcinicker in suspense longer than necessary. Wasn’t he the one who suggested half points? Or was that someone else? Regardless, she was more than fine with the killing blow for simplicity’s sake. Besides, that was her original understanding all along.

With a friendly nod to T'chal'fronack'zcinicker, Ebele was ready to follow Kerric’s lead to the next area, assuming he wasn’t trying to scout ahead?

This narrow passage is about ten feet high in most places, with rough, irregular walls. Protruding spurs on the walls are coated in dried blood.

Eventually the passage widens out to The star-shaped cavern ahead has many clefts in its walls. Only two, across the cavern, seem large enough to traverse. Three zombies lurch about the area. One is costumed like a bear, another is dressed as a lady in a frilly dress and thick makeup, and the last is costumed as a jester with jingling bells on its collar and sleeves.

T'chal'fronack'zcinicker mutters, "I'm sure the story behind this must be fascinating. However, we do have a bet in progress, let us destroy these and proceed?" 

He holds his action until one of the other members of his team hurts one of the creatures, and then shoots that one. 

Attack: 18 Damage: 9

initiative if needed : 15

(sunnuva.....)

Reghys agrees for simplicity's sake, happy to have made a notch on the scoreboard. Unfortunately, they didn't think far enough ahead on their last song, and the glowing dagger would have to remain where it was for a while longer, since Reghys wasn't ready to be burnt by it. Hopping down from the stone, they quickly followed Kerric, the ongoing bet driving them to new heights of courage. Upon seeing the weird motley of undead, they just sigh: "This is getting ridiculous..." Then, leaping forward, the satyr stands in front of the first zombie in the animal costume, grimaces and says: "Dear, this outfit is simply un-bear-able."

Vicious mockery, for 1d4 damage. Wis save 14

Kerric:

“To die and have one’s physical remains returned to a mockery of life as a zombie is bad enough—but to dress them up like circus performers?  What madness is this?  Whatever their life’s work, these people deserve more dignity than this!” Kerric finds himself thinking as he rushes in to deal with the foe.

Initiative: 19

He strikes with another two-handed slash at the nearest zombie center of mass, hoping to strike the creature down before it can damage him or his friends.

Elven Curved Blade:  Attack: 20 Damage: 14

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.

Elven Curved Blade:  Attack: 11 Damage: 8

 Forgot to roll for initiative and it changed the numbers when I edited.  It was 9 to hit for 11 damage, which probably misses.

T'chal shoots the zombie in the Jester suit after Kerric slashes him

Zombie in bear suit wis save 16 and takes damage 

i need initiative from Reghys

and surprise action/initiative from Xalkas and Ebele

Ebele would cock her head to the side as she listened to Reghys' exclamation of the absurdity before them. She'd listen once again for Kerric's motions to set the stage. The monk would follow up his attack, setting herself up to spar with the easiest target for her to hear, the jingling jester. This time she'd open up with a jab to the Zombie's forehead to hopefully square it up for a follow up jab to the jaw.

Staff Attack: 17 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.
Unarmed punch: 21 Damage: 6

Init: 20

Ebele smacks jester zombie in the forehead following up with an open palm strike which snaps its head forcefully, and with a jingling of bells it hits the floor

T'chal'fronack'zcinicker groans, "Who invited the blind girl to play our game?!"

Reghys' initiative: 24

I think it's safe to say I went first :P

Yes you will be first. So you can post now.  After Xalkas takes his surprise round your action will occur

Seeing Ebele smack another of the undead down, Reghys grumbles a bit: "Fine, seems like the pen might have to take a back seat today." And they slash at the bear-costumed zombie.

25 for 6 damage

And 4 for the critical damage

Xalkas watches as the rest of the group charges forwards and attacks the peculiarly dressed zombies. Let’s  out a groan followed by, “Ok, so we’re doing this.”(pardon the Hamilton quote. I’m currently obsessed with the play on Disney+)

Xalkas then moves into to the room positioning himself in such a manner that he is able to target both of the two still standing zombies with burning hands has he directs the flames around his allies so as to not catch them with the intense flames. (Assuming of course they would be in the way, I can keep 3 creatures from the effects of evocation spells) He then says, “So what happens if I get more kills than the lot of you?”

flames shoot out of Xalkas' hands flying over Reghys' head and incinerating the zombie in front of him as Reghys slashes at its midsection finishing it

the remaining zombie staggers back its dress beginning to burn

Kerric then T'chal are up

T'chal'fronack'zcinicker shakes his head as the group efficiently finishes off zombies.  He reloads, cocks, aims, and fires his hand crossbow efficiently trying to beat Kerric to the punch of ultimately finishing off the last undead creature.  Attack: 18 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.

Kerric:

Stepping up and swinging at the last zombie, Kerric stabs for the throat this time with his blade.

Attack: 18 Damage: 11

Kerric swings and although his aim is slightly off  the Zombies right arm is now lying on the floor

followed by T'chal shooting the thing (he can describe)

combat is over

The arrow slams into the things forehead, and the thing goes still, and falls straight onto it's back with a puff of dust.  He does a little semi-secret fist pump.  And then quickly pulls out a pad.  "Finally on the score board. Ebele has two, Reghys has two, and T'chal'fronack'zcinicker has one." 

He walks over and attempts to pull the crossbow bolt out of the things skull, putting his foot on it's face as he pulls it out.  He uses the dress to clean the bolt before adding it back to his belt bolt pouch. 

When he's done that, he does a quick inspection of the costumes and checks for anything valuable...though the smoke rising from two of the burned bodies is enough to dissuade him from trying too hard, and he looks to Kerric, "Let's get us to some slightly fresher air...."
