"Ok, my friends, Let us try and use the power of ice as we take on these foes. I suspect that they are completely immune to fire as they have already been consume by that element! Let's stay together and watch each other's back. This will not be easy, but I know that the Inheritor is on our side!"
Before racing into battle, Solaric moves his hands in somatic gestures as he calls forth the powers of the Inheritor.
"Mighty Iomedae! Hear my prayer as I call upon you to bless us before entering this battle! Give us the power and strength to strike down these foes and take us closer to the heart of this evil that we may fulfill your will and bring victory to your people! I ask this in your name!"
Solaric casts Bless upon his companions and a burst of divine energy spreads forth in a fifty foot radius surrounding him.
Johenric nods and demonstrates the holy symbol of Pharamsa, the spiral and casts invisibility on himself.
Jo, your initiative is obscene...

Cairn steps to the side to allow room for their heavy hitter to get through before firing his pistol at one of the lead zombies.
Hey everyone, at some point in the next 3-4 days I will be returning to a tropical island I was at a few months ago where internet is hard to find and expensive by the minute. I'll probably only be getting access for maybe an hour every few days (that was what I averaged last time I was there). This will likely last until around the 20th. Hope that it's not too much trouble, and if I'm ever slowing the game down please DMPC or somebody feel free to run my character if necessary!
Kirk nods to Victoria as a subtle and unspoken message passes between them, as though they have worked together many times before.
Come back and hold here with me Solaric! Flofer says, taking position between the pillars (L16.5)

Cairn's bullet vanishes in the hissing flames and none of you is able to tell if it had any effect on the slowly advancing monster.
The heat is nearly unbearable as the zombies get in melee reach. Their faces look distorted and and you wonder why the fire hasn't consumed the remains of skin, hair and clothes by now...you can still make out the ragged vestments of monks...but before you can think more about the gruesome fate they have suffered, fists of of fire hit you
Round 1
Solaric attacks the zombie at J18 with few words to say.
Victoria gestures at one of the undead, uttering a nasty sounding word in its direction....
Hex:Misfortune at J16.
DC18 Will save
The witch can cause a creature within 30 feet to suffer grave misfortune for 2 rounds. Anytime the creature makes an ability check, attack roll, saving throw, or skill check, it must roll twice and take the worse result. A Will save negates this hex. At 8th level and 16th level, the duration of this hex is extended by 1 round. This hex affects all rolls the target must make while it lasts. Whether or not the save is successful, a creature cannot be the target of this hex again for 1 day.
And she cackles away, delighted to be vanquishing her foes...
"So who are you all..." She enquires to herself.
Know religion:
Kirk steps forward around Flofer and cuts toward the zombie in front of Solaric with his razor-sharp dagger.
Attack
Damage
These must be the poor undead remains of the monks of Pharasma that once lived in this cloister.
The zombie ignores his bad-hair day and is ready for another devastating (uhoh) attack.
Kirk and Solaric hack at the zombies and are able to deal some damage - all in all these monsters seem to be very resilient...

Round 1
Finding himself behind the front line and otherwise useless, Flofer snaps his fingers and produces a guitar, playing inspiring music for those up front.
Perform:
Round 2
Solaric pulls out his holy symbol and channels energy in a thirty food burst of positive light that damages all of the undead around him.
Cairn feels the impact as his weapon stabs into undead flesh, however the zombie seems rather unimpressed...again
The undead seem irritated for a moment but the burst of light has left much less damage than you would have hoped for...
Round 2
Johenric casts Grease on J 17, J 18, I 17, I 18.
In addition he thinks if he knows such creatures and what weaknesses they might have.

The zombies remain on their feet..for a moment it looks like they become one with the ground!
Then they lash out against your frontline
Instead of pushing forward, the zombies in the back suddenly fold their hands like they were praying and unleash a burning flame
Kirk blocks the zombie's fiery slams with his shield, sparks flying, but grunts heavily with the blow.
Reflex Save
Reflex Save
And with a flurry of ducks, spins, one or two lucky leaps into the air, and a few precious heartbeats huddled behind his shield, he manages to avoid essentially all of the magical fire blasts from the zombies in back. His eyes flash angrily, but he remains unharmed.
Round 2
Ref:

Flofer does his best to dodge the fire, but stumbles because of his armor...somehow, the idiotic dance he does trying to regain his balance allows him to avoid most of the flames!
He starts right back up singing and playing, like a true performer he lets nothing hold him from his performance!

Cairn winces as the flames wash over him. His quick reflexes allow him to avoid the worse of the damage but the smell of burnt flesh and leather are still prevalent. He slashes at the zombie in front of him with his kukri.

The zombie halts in its movement and seems much clumsier now...
As Cairn slashes at the zombie small burning particles of aeon old flesh spray forth and the zombie even stumbles a bit...
Johenric moves to L16 and touches Cairn with his wand. A magical barrier forms itself around Cairns Body Protection from Evil
The zombies keep up their flamy work and lash out again burning and smashing right into your frontline

From the back the other zombies again use their supernatural powers to form flaming funnels of death
From the back another zombie tries to get into the second line, but stumbles and slips on the greasy surface.
Round 3
After being scorched by the burning hands, Solaric presents his holy symbol again and channels energy in a thirty food burst of positive light that engulfs all of the undead around him once again.
"I Solaric Zekkaran, Lord of Sinaria, call down the light of the Inheritor to vanquish you and restore this holy place to the noble purpose for which it was created!"
The zombies stare at Solaric's holy symboal and suddenly their flames are reduced to a mere flickering, they seem to have lost quite a big portion of their undead vitae.

Victoria continues cackling, maintaining the bad luck on the already cursed creature, and now targets her Misfortune at the next Zombie in line...
DC18 Will save of be Misfortuned!

Kirk manages to dodge the next barrage of flaming magic as well, and his shield still deflects the attacking zombie's blows. He retaliates with another flurry of attacks from dagger and shield.

Damage +1 bleed (w/ +1 damage from Cairn)

Round 3
Flofer continues inspiring the front line with his music.
Perform:
Despite the persisting flames Cairn presses the attack on the zombie in front of him...man I hate these things!...
Kirk hacks and slashes like a whirlwind, but most of his wild attacks miss - Cairn fares much better and begins to cripple one of the zombies...the undeads' frontline seems to have lost most of its "unhealth" now.
And another zombie now moves much clumsier than before...
Waiting for JO.

Flofer continues playing music like there is no tomorrow, and the sweet and epic music lends courage and strength to his companions' arms as the battle the fiery fiends.
Inspire courage: +1 to attack and damage, +1 against fear effects
Perform:
The zombies don't look very impressed by Vicky's magic, but the clumsiness of their movements betrays them...
