While everyone is in sight, Lord Zohan gestures, mumbles and chews on a piece of licorice root to cast haste on the group.
As he's standing right next to Andras, he'll also touch him for the protection from chaos benefit.
Lucan grimaces. "This is... terrible," he mutters, looking at the gruesome display. When the bodies animate, he casts a spell, charging up his sword with a freezing chill that will enhance the damage he does with his attacks. He steps forward to engage the zombies, or whatever it is that is animating the gruesome dead bodies.
The recovered items are quickly whisked into me for safekeeping.
Ok so the map is looking a bit odd since I didn't do a great job describing it, I should have just posted it in the first place. The trap Sera tripped is actually at the end of a short hallway at the bottom left.
The zombies are behind that door. You came in trough the door at the top and the playpen with the young ogrekin is at the top-right.
Have a look and position yourselves on here, edit your actions if you need too.
Lord Zohan is still next to Andras in the back, leeching on his protection from chaos.
So Andras, Zohan, Zadderk and Serra can post your round 1 actions, then enemy will go and then Karla and Lucan.
You can post in any order. Lucan and Karla you can post also but your actions will take place after enemy so try to take that into account or you can wait.
Retrieving a tiny bag and a small candle, Lord Zohan begins casting to summon aid.
Andras swiftly touches the holy symbol hanging from his neck with the stock of his crossbow, calling upon Abadar's might to crush his enemies. This action somehow makes the crossbow seem larger and more menacing, as he trains it on the doorframe over Zadderk's shoulder, waiting for ogres to appear.

Lucan looks up the stairs he's next to and listens to see if he can hear anything.
After that, he moves up behind Serra, still gripping his longsword that he's charged with a chill spell.
First move action: Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 18 (not Lucan's forte)
Second move action degraded from standard: Move to B8
Zohan begins casting his spells of summoning (The creature appears on the beginning of you next turn I believe)
Andras readies his shot.
Serra prepares himself but takes no action.
Zadderk readies his crossbow as well.
The ogrekin in the dining room come out and the first is shot but Andras and then Zadderk he shouts in pain and goes north attacking Zadderk by driving a rusty hook into his shoulder.
The second one out goes after Lucan who is the easiest target for him to reach slashing at him with his own ogrehook but missing.
The third one comes out but is unsure were to go so he waits in the hall.
The zombies come up to the door and start battering at it. The door wont hold them long.
Lucan will most likely reconsider I think.
Lucan and Karla post round 1 actions, and everyone else can post round 2 actions. Then I will post enemies again.
Please indicate round 1: at the beginning of your post if your posting for round 1 and round 2 at the beginning for round 2.
Round 2:
On Lord Zohan's turn, Khartelosch the hound archon appears. If there is an unhindered (no cover) square next to the ogrekin in Lord Zohan's line of sight, he'll appear there. If not, he'll appear just to the south of Lord Zohan and east of Zadderk (on the map) and immediately attack the ogre in front of Zadderk in spite of any cover.
Lord Zohan delays his action in hopes that the others bring down these foes quickly.
sorry yes this is the updated map:Encounter Map
Round 1
Lucan briefly concentrates, infusing some of his arcane power into his sword. He then whirls and swings his magically enhanced longsword at the ogrekin that attacked him. That done, he takes a step aside on to the stairs to allow Karla to move in.
Round 2:
The ogrekin manages to resist the command to attack his brother.
Upon seeing the ogrekin emerging, Andras clutches his holy symbol and utters a loud prayer to Abadar, citing how his favor cannot ever grace such ungainly creatures.
As the hook sinks into his shoulder, Zadderk pulls back at a diagnol 5 foot step, looking towards the first Ogre in the abysmally short hallway. Raising his crossbow, his better arm masterfully reloads the weapon as a hail of bolts leaves it with a surprising level of force. "'Ow ye' like that, ya damned fools! Someone brace the middle of 'is 'allway so I can fire safely!" he suggests as he reloads his crossbow for another volley.
Round 2
The Ogrekin (3) resist the murderous impulse from Karla's spell.
Lucan strike the Ogrekin (2) who attacked him. (dealing 17 damage) and moves into the staiway.
The hound archon appears in Zadderk's spot and attacks the closest Ogrekin (3) it lands a single attack dealing 12 damage.
Andras casts a spell. Prayer, +1 for allies -1 for foes.
Zadderk steps back and lets loose with his crossbow hitting twice and dealing 35 damage to the closest Ogrekin (1) and he goes down.
Only Seras hasn't posted yet. with the undead ogrekin about to break down the door what does he do?
Seras falls back to Karla and prepares himself.
The two remaining ogrekin attack and the undead break down the door.
Ogrekin 2 steps into a better position to hit Lucan and attacks swinging his ogrehook landing a solid hit.
Ogrekin 3 attacks the hound Archon.
The zombies are slow and cannot attack this round.
Lucan round 2:
Lucan attacks the ogrekin.
Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21
Sword damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Cold Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6
The attack hits.
Ogrekin fort to resist str loss.
Karla can post round 2 action.
Everyone else can post round 3.
Both attacks hit the ogrekin and after the blows from Lucan and Karla the ogrekin goes down.
Now that the celestial creature has been here a few seconds, an aura of menace emanates out to 20 feet from its core. All evil creatures feel the threat .
The ogrekins two attacks had bounced off its armor. The archon swings its masterwork weapon at the ogrekin.
Assuming that's not enough damage to kill it, he swings twice more, followed by a bite.
If that somehow fells the ogrekin, the archon takes a five-foot step forward down the hall.
Round 3: Lord Zohan listens at the door to the 'nursery'. If he hears no threat, he opens it to see how much of a concern the ogrekinlings are. He's particularly interested for any signs whether they've been fed humanoid body parts, i.e. wholly or half-gnawed humanoid bones, the remains of a person, etc.
With the Ogrekin he and Karla were fighting dispatched, Lucan steps down the stairs and turns to his left to attack the one further down the hall. He swings his still-cold-enhanced sword at it, but is disoriented from coming down the stairs and turning the corner, and misses badly.
Crits for an additional 26 damage so 36 total since it's a X3 multiplier.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The young ogrekin are no danger to you they are still crawling on all 4. One of them seems healthy while the other seems malnourished you cant really tell what they have been feeding them.
For a moment, Zadderk seems to see everything in just a wee bit of slow motion. By a wee bit of it, it means a lot. His friends are all still moving at the same rate, but his shots could literally have been made with his eyes closed, though he wasn't about to attempt that.
"Fish in'a barrel!" he yells as his shots proceed to grow in speed and number, properly thunking multiple times in the creature down the hallway in first view.
With the attacks from the Hound Achron and From Zadderks bolt the third ogrekin goes down, only the zombies remain.
Lucan steps back up on to the stairs. "Drop back and draw them after you! We can combine attacks on them!"
Seras is before the zombies also if he is still playing but otherwise correct Karla.
Andras moves past Lucan and makes his wound stop bleeding by releasing a portion of positive energy.
He then shouts: The wounded can fall back to the side room, it's now clear! We'll take care of the undead!
The zombies make their way down the hall and the closest one attacks Karla with a powerful slam.
Karla lands two powerful blows on the zombie but it still stands.
You can move back into the same space as Andras but you will both be squeezing, you can also move further back but doing so will provoke an attack.
"Hey I just came here! This battle is too chaotic and needs to be more orderly."
Andras attempts to touch Karla's sword to imbue it with his Blessing of Law before moving back to E4.
Lord Zohan asks the archon to go to the dining room and make a new entrance. It moves to the dining room and tries to smash open the boarding on the window. Lord Zohan move outside to that side of the house awiting a way in.
Wont have any effect on the zombies, they are neutral evil.
Still missing Zadderk and luca.
Lucan is posting round 3 and Zadderk for round 4.
Then zombies again.
Focusing on the Zombie in the back that hadn't been aimed at behind the people in front of him, Zadderk grinned. "A hook shot, eh?" he said as the room slowed down again. Pointing his crossbow forward he spun his hand over the reloading mechanism with an unprecedented grace, letting loose 4 extremely potent shots at the least damaged Zombie Ogrekin with a fervor and a laugh. The Arrows whir around the lot of everyone else, and magically curve to land perfectly in the hillbilly abomination.
Zadderk fires a volley of bolts and bring down the zombie at the corner.
Z3 is down.
Lucan still needs to post will skip if not posted by tomorrow when I wake up.
Right skip Lucan for now He takes a rest in the stairs.
Zombies move up and the one in front attack Karla this one misses.
Your go again.
I don't know if the hound archon was able to smash open the window but regardless, Zohan shouts for him to deal with the zombies. With his 40-foot movement, he moves to Karla and risks the attack of opportunity to greater teleport to the square behind the two zombies. The two zombies get a Will save (DC 16) to not suffer a -2 on attacks, AC and saves for one hour.
If the window is open, Lord Zohan climbs into the dining room and goes to the door to the hallway. If not, he circles back and goes back in the door they first entered by, assuming there has been no hidden threat to Withers and the horses.
