Arsill will be able to attack those that have climb on the tombs if Mirage is staying in the front
Lacking other tactics, Mirage keep attacking!
!
"I know these things are lame, but eventually they are going to surround us. We need a plan!"
Vuvu you believe Hagrin to be dead.
The 'zombies' move very slowly, they climb up onto the tombs, but it may take a couple rounds for them to get in range to melee them Arsil.
Mirage you may take an attack of opportunity as it attempted to grapple you. Yes you get one, that is implied in the wording. Taking the last action of Mirage as 'Round 3' which misses the desiccated body.
Mirage gets another AoO, as the corpses push in mass, 4 now occupy the five foot square in front of Mirage and two occupy his square with him.
vs. Mirage, if he fails then he is pushed back into Arsil's square.
Big door and Vuvu ----30 feet --- Arsil --- Mirage with '2 zombies' --- more zombies
Round 2
!
!
Round 3
!
!
!
Since no other option has been laid out, Mirage stops talking and starts slashing.
Vuvu spend his second round trying to rouse Hagrin and confirm he is dead. Then he moves to catch up w the others
Mirage hacks and slashes the 'zombies' as they move in on him. Laying low the first one and wounding the second. Once the zombies get in range Arsil unlooses several attacks dealing damage to those walking corpses.
Round 4
Heroes Go!
Then zombies.
Presently one zombie occupies Mirage's square as he holds them off. The tombs to Mirage's left and right now have a zombie or more on them. A wall of zombies push forward towards your group.
With more enemies around him and a little bit more regarding space, Mirage swings his greatsword at the enemy on his square, cleaving through him and hitting something in the wall of zombies!
!
!
"David!!"
Mirage cuts through the adjacent zombie and hurting another of the writhing bodies. Smoke comes from the wounds. Mirage is now in his square by himself.
Vuvu clambers onto a tomb and lines up his bottled lightning and fires it at the rear one
for all intervening take 1 pt of sonic damage
save if needed
The lightning released shoots through the wall of bodies hurting them as it goes and an audible pop happens at the back of the wall of corpses.
I'm down to one flask of Acid!
Arsil will attack the Zombie
Ok for the moment we have the things well in hand Vuvu
there shouldn't be that many left.
She yells David ! Lock ! you guys somewhere down here?
There is literally a wall of zombies pressing in on the three of you. None are in the same square as Mirage but at least a dozen can be identified, likely more.
Round 4
The zombie wall pushes in on the group. They seem more intent on pushing you rather than biting or slamming you.
it provokes...
The first zombie gets hacked for its attempt though its severed limb expells smoke. Only one of the four are able to push him back as the others merely attempt to assist. Mirage is not moved back but he does feel pressured by the wall of zombies.
Mirage takes strength damage. He feels weak after breathing in a good amount of smoke and more pours out of the chopped corpses.
Round 5
Heroes
Then zombies
Then Locke and David
Round 4
David and Locke charge down the hallway through the smoke. The three of you can hear them charging down, then the sounds of their armor. Then the sounds of their weapons slamming into bodies.
Round 5
"Hold your breaths!"
Mirage says this and closes his mouth, avoiding breathing the weakening smoke again. Anyway, he keeps chopping and chopping to clear a path for the incoming heroes.
!
!
Round 5
Arsil will also hold her breath and move to a place where she can attack the zombies
Vuvu sends his last flask flying into the wall
for and 5 damage to all splashed
The whole wall seems to cringe back from the three of you as you sever limbs and inflict a whole bunch of pain. The wall is dazed for the round but even more smoke begins to fill the room, now there is 20% concealment for any attack.
Round 6
Heroes go!
Round 6
Mirage says this and closes his mouth, avoiding breathing the weakening smoke again. Anyway, he keeps chopping and chopping to clear a path for the incoming heroes.
!
!
Round 6
Mirage is too focused on not breathing in any more smoke and fails to connect his sword with the flailing wall. As the zombies charge into Mirage he still holds his own the wave is turned back, though he is having trouble getting his weapon to hit correct with so many 'pushers and smoke' around him.
Arsil and Vuvu?
it provokes...
20% miss chance low bad outcome
Damage: 2d6 + 8[/dice]
Round 7
Heroes go!
Vuvu goes full defense being completely out of ways to help.[
Round 6
Arsil will attack the creature
And Again
Round 7
Arsil attacks the wall of flesh, one of the zombies who crawled up on the tomb cutting into its flesh leaving a trail of smoke. More of them fill the spot to either side of Arsil.
Map:
tomb --- Tomb --- tomb*--- tomb*----tomb* --- door** --- tomb
open --- Vuvu --- Arsil --- Mirage---4 zombies---**----------**-
tomb --- Tomb --- tomb*--- tomb*---- tomb* --- door** --- tomb -
* 2 zombies are here
**4 zombies are here
As the smoke gets even thicker, does Arsil hold her breath on Round 7?
Arsil takes strength damage. She feels weak after breathing in a good amount of smoke.
Vuvu do you attempt to assist Arsil, stay in full defense, move back, or try to find a way out there are other doors nearby 15 feet away?
Looks like there are zombies in the way? Vuvu is full defense this round unless there is a path to the doors, or a possible path to the doors for him to take.
Round 7
Mirage tries to take down the two zombies to his right, over the tomb!
!
!
Where's our freaking channeling cleric!!
Vuvu heads away from the fight to get to one of the side doors. They seem to have hieroglyphs. There is a spot to put your hand or some object into the door then into the wall.
Vuvu attempts to read the door
linguistics
an armory perhaps something here can help!
Vuvu opens the door
Vuvu puts his hand into the receptacle and feels around for a lever of some kind. He is rewarded to find some bugs and a switch. Once you move it, the door slowly begins to grind open but stops after an inch as if a clasp was released and the door needs to be pushed open. Str check DC 12 to open it 3 inches, every 5 over another 3 inches. The room within is utterly dark.
Takes 4 rounds for me to open the door and another one to light a torch...everyone will be dead
For the moment we are still in fighting shape and doing well :)
I found the armory! Having trouble with the door...
Vuvu calls out
Mirage waves a hand for Arsil to go there since someone needs to stop hold the hoard back.
If Arsil goes he will take a step back and starts fighting defensively.
!
Arsil still holding her breath (4/14) will nod to Mirage and head over to vuvu and assist him with the task at hand
The tombs are horizontal but the zombies have already filled those spots.
Round 8
Mirage holds them back, but they keep the wall next to him the best they can, one more slash into the wall of flesh as it attempts to overcomes him knocks them back. As Arsil leaves mirage, sheathing her blade to have both hands free, she can see the smoke is nowhere near Vuvu. She grabs onto the door and pulls as hard as she can...
It has not been opened in likely years and the three inches that it budges makes an awful screeching sound like metal on stone.
it provokes...
20% miss chance low bad outcome
Round 9
Arsil keeps trying to get the door open with Vuvu...
They don't make any progress then a large metal gauntlet grabs onto the door and opens it for them. The door is now just over a foot open, and they can hear a soft feminine call with urgency in her voice, "Quickly enter before the smoke can get in, quickly now or become zombies yourself."
With a perception DC 10, Mirage can hear the female voice as well.
SM
Arsil will quickly enter the room and look at the mysterious woman
Vuvu will follow
Round 9
Mirage withdraws and moves inside the room, close to the door to prevent zombies from coming in until someone shuts it.
Once Mirage is in the room the suit of armor closes the door.
The voice seems to be far off, likely towards the back of this room. There are racks of falling apart weapons, shelves holding armor, and an assortment of chests large enough to hold weapons or armor. There is light filtering through all the items far in the back, but not really enough to illuminate the room. With Vuvu's lit torch you can see the items around you are mostly in disrepair.
The suit of armor rests next to the door as if it had always been there.
Taking your time you only bump into a few of the items in your way toward the light. Once at the back you see a light in a tube of liquid. There are other tubes with other lights and designs next to it. A black liquid with a wriggling mass within it. A green liquid with a floating skull. A tube that is filled with eyeballs with a red liquid. Three more tubes are empty. The tube with the light in it has a clear liquid of somekind within it.
The light dims some as you step near. It flickers as the feminine voice speaks, "It is true you are in grave danger, though the black men will not follow you here. "
"Now what? A talking light?"
Mirage tries to get a closer look at the thing.
