Gwen takes a moment to glance over her shoulder at the maniacal laughter thinking it to be a new and vile opponent... Only to realize she cannot she anything beyond the organ pipe in front of her. 'Got me climbing like a damn monkey while there's some lunatic out there causing all sorts of havoc.'
"Ery, Fiona! Do you all help out there with that cackling lunatic?!" She shouts out into the fog.
Tereze keeps the music going, then puts away her club.
In between her maniacal laughter Fiona reloads her crossbow and shoots a bolt at the undead that's not yet surrounded by mist. The bolt hits the pipe it's hiding behind.
The mist at the feet of the last visible undead spreads and conceals it.
Eryzule moves over to the nearby door, which is already open, and looks into the room beyond. Inside the room are two dead priests.
Gwendallyn starts climbing up the pipe. While climbing she asks if her allies need help, but it turns out it's not needed.
Vicard decides he'll stay on the keys, and he keeps the music alive.
Urbar climbs the pipes while cursing about how humans continue to be annoying even when they're dead.

• To play the more slender black keys, one either needs to stand on an adjoining white key and reach up and yank the key down with a DC 5 Strength check, or climb directly on top of the black key (Climb DC 10). Leaping from black key to black key requires a DC 10 or 20 Acrobatics check, depending on the distance between the keys as indicated on the map.
• Anyone who successfully depresses multiple keys in a round may also make a Perform (keyboard) check as a free action. A success of 10 or more contributes to the hymn and keeps the music alive. The higher the result, the more melodious and impressive the contribution. You'll get a +2 circumstance bonus to your check for each key you manage to depress in a single round. If the same person can further succeed on a DC 5 Knowledge (Religion) check, that person can actually play the correct popular morning hymns.
• The organ keys are elevated 15 feet off of the ground. Anyone bull rushed off the keys falls to the stone church floor below, taking 1d6 damage.
• The organ keys connect to the 30-foot pipes above. Climbing the giant twisting maze of brass pipes requires a DC 10 Climb check each round.
• As long as the organ continues to play, anyone of lawful alignment in the cathedral benefits from the effect of a bless spell. The bless effect kicks in as long as any key is depressed, whether it is truly musical or just a random key which is pushed down during the course of combat.
Blindly aiming for the spot where she last saw the undead she targeted before, Fiona releases a bolt into the mist. She doesn't see it, but the bolt hits the undead. What she also doesn't see is that the bolt does nothing to damage it.
Tereze lets herself be swept up in the music and continues to dance.
Eryzule strolls over to the piano and sighs.
Gwendallyn climbs up the pipe and kicks one of the undead, breaking a few of its ribs.
Urbar continues to climb up, almost reaching one of the undead.
Vicard plays one more key, then stops. He feels pretty useless in the current situation.

Gwen growls in frustration at the tenacity of the undead operative. She adjusts her grip on the top of the pipe, then swings back slightly and then shifts her weight to swing back towards the operative, using her momentum to add power to her attack. She blasts into the operative as hard as she can with both of her legs!

Urbar climbs another 5 feet and draws his weapon.
"Found him! Finally! Time to finish this!"
He calls as he reaches for his weapon.
-Posted with Wayfinder
Tereze tries to stabilize the priest at her feet, but it's to no avail. the man's already dead. She then dances over the keys, keeping the music alive.
Eryzule moves to calm Fiona down. Fiona looks dazed and stops laughing, letting him know she thinks she'll be alright.
Gwendallyn knocks the head off of one of the Black Echelon operatives.
Vicard helps Tereze to keep the music flowing.
Urbar climbs five feet higher, provoking an attack from the undead. He avoids getting hit by the undead's rusted sickle, then draws his own weapon.

Tereze Dance:
Vicard Acrobatics:
As Vicard jumps from his key onto the key that Tereze was standing, Tereze deftly moves off her key by sliding under the leaping Investigator. As she regains her feet she smiles and whispers: Zank you, I can use ze help up here. She then spins away into the mist stopping only to pray over the body of the second priest.
Vicard meanwhile leaps back to the key he started from with more confidence then just a few moments ago.

Ery turned back to Fiona, a brow raised as he gave her a once over.
"Although I think all women look fantastic when the laugh and enjoy themselves...after all it is my job to ensure...But you seemed to have lost touch with yourself there for a moment."
His head tilted as he spoke, trying to be soft spoken to prevent her from falling into a depression.
Tereze and Vicard keep the music alive.
Eryzule asks the others how it's going and chats a bit with Fiona, who's still somewhat dazed.
Urbar swings his sword at the undead next to him, taking it out. A little bit of mist lifts, but there are still two large mist fields with undead in them.

Previous Round Remaining Action
Gwen looks in the direction she recalls the operative being before he was cloaked in fog and reaches over to grip the next pipe. She thinks she has a solid grip, however, as she lets go her hand suddenly slips on something and she has to quickly grab hold again with her other hand. She is able to steady herself and continue moving, but that slip slowed her down...
Current Round!
Given the almost disastrous attempt a moment ago, Gwen takes it slow. She ensures each grip is solid before releasing to move towards the next pipe. The cautious movement is slow, but suddenly she sees the operative hanging directly in front of her. "Time to send you back to the grave."
Gwendallyn climbs over to one of the undead, careful to avoid falling to the keys below.

Tereze dances down the keyboard attempting to keep the song going and seeming to ignore the thump of the corpse hitting the pipes behind her as it falls.
As she spins onto the second to last key on the keyboard and it makes no sound she yells into the fog: Zere must be one near zis end of the keyboard. Ze second key from ze end does not play.
Fiona's lost in thoughts and replies to Eryzule, but then the vocie reappears in her mind.
Tereze keeps the music alive and is able to make an accurate guess where one of the undead is located.
The undead next to Gwendallyn tries to hit her with its sickle, but it fails.

"I'll buy you dinner if you kill it!"
Taking a note from the Sleuthiest Sleuth of all Sleuthdom, Ery tries to benefit Gwen by shouting the promise of better things.
The large lack of sincerity in his voice led to the perception of potential ulterior motives during which more alcohol would likely had been served.
|

Tereze dances back along the keyboard. When she sees Vicard with his sword out she sputs on a serious expresses and pauses her dance to lay a hand on his arm. Zank you sir, it is wonderful to know at least you have my back, but ze zing must be up zere! She points up into the fog and with a wink and a big smile twirls away into the mist barely keeping the song going.

"Hm? Oh. I meant that you're both frightening and attractive when you seem to laugh and fire your weapon."
The elf gave a nod as he watched her reload her weapon. There wasn't much left they could do but she seemed a little more intent on doing something then usual, a mood he didn't want to interfere with.
Eryzule tries to motivate Gwendallyn by promising her dinner. His ulterior motive is way too obvious.
Gwendallyn attacks the undead next to her, but hits the pipes instead.
Urbar climbs the last five feet up and moves up to the western undead.
Fiona waits for Eryzule to answer, which he eventually does.
Tereze keeps the music flowing.
The undead next to Gwendallyn copies her move and hits the pipe as well.

As Eryzule and Fiona continue to talk, Gwendallyn tries to kick the undead. She hits the pipe with her knee.
Vicard continues to climb up. Once he reaches the top of the pipes he provokes an attack from the undead there, but the attack leaves Vicard with just a bruise.
While Tereze keeps the music flowing, Urbar lands a hit on the undead he and Vicard are facing.
The undead next to Gwendallyn tries to hit her again, but again fails.
