The bolt flies too short to be of any harm to the undead apes.

Yelling back over his shoulder at Oniss, Irommek jokes, “I once saw a monkey dance to a musician in a street performance.  Just think of the moves a four-armed monkey could do!”

Suddenly Irommek notices a pattern to the flailing arms of the ape that Gertrude was engaged with.  Quickly he called out, “Gertrude, that lower left arm is a little slower than the rest.  Aim a strike into that armpit when he raises it again!”

OOC: moving a little closer to the action.  Using Commander’s Strike to order Gertrude to use her reaction to attack ape 2 again and add 1d8 to the damage on a hit. 

Gertrude hears a voice in her head and feels her limbs moving. What is happening??  But then she realises it is Irommek's voice and she is getting a second chance to attack that beast. 

With all her might she does exactly what Irommek said and plunges her warhammer into the armpit of the beast:

to hit 23 for damage 9 + 3 = 13

"Hey Irommek, you gave me a fright there! Next time I will be prepared to make an attack for you. Sorry I missed this one..."

Gertrude is confused about which armpit was to be stricken. Irommek needs to be more specific.

Felix conflicted on whether we are running or not will use a dash action to the side then, as cunning action he will hide again.

stealth:24

Inete starts throwing radiant flames against the undead apes, thinking it would be wise in this situation to save magical energy for healing spells.

Kurma is conjuring a mighty longsword in front of one of the creature. (spiritual weapon on Ape number2 ).
Then, similar to Inete, he creates divine flames then engulph the Ape (number2) (sacred flame).

Longsword : Attack 18 , damage force 4
Sacred flame: DEX13 or 7 radiant damage

Ape 2 DEX save 21

The glowing, spiritual longsword catches by surprise the undead ape, provoking a serious wound on the chest. However, this gives the foul creature the momentum necessary to avoid the radiant flame.

Brunella charges, greatsword overhead. She summons the swell of rage within and unleashes a powerful overhead cut to the undead monstrosity in front of her. These foul undead perversions are everything anathema to her, and she cuts without hesitation or mercy.

Poor Musharib falls unconsious un the ground.

After seeing how hard the apes hit, Gertrude focusses again on her protective rage force (+2 temp HP to Musharib and Gertrude). Then she swings her warhammer against the same ape again (ape 2): 19 for damage 12

Then Gertrude shouts: "Inete, can you help Musharib? But please, stay outside of the reach of those things, they hit very hard!!!" 

"Also, if you need, grab a healing potion from my backpack!"

Seeing Musharib crumple to the ground, Irommek ran to his side.

“Brother!  Hang in there you crazy half-naked dwarf!”

“Gertrude, you’re right.  These beasties hit like a small mountain with all those arms!  OK you overgrown monkey, let’s dance!”

Spinning his Warhammer over his head for effect and to boost his confidence, he smashes it across the creature’s knees with a growl.

OOC

Attack ape 2 (20+5)

Critical hit for bludgeoning damage (10)

Irommek's confidence allows him to shatter the undead ape's skull into pieces.
