Naraj looks about and says with mock disgust, "These people need to hire a much better decorator...", as he passes a trained eye across the room, looking for anything dangerous or valuable that might be hidden within.
Naraj carefully examines everything in the room, and to the group's surprise finds a dagger and sheath of very high quality that must have been hidden in the false bottom of a desk drawer before the desk and accompanying drawer were wrecked and discarded down here.
"How useful! An enchanted dagger. Let us continue."
Naraj smiles, "What can I say? I'm good at finding pretty things."
Unlike the previous room, this room is completely devoid of furnishings. At the far side of the room, the door to the third chamber is closed.
Map is updated.
"Look at these footprints, someone came this way at some point. Let's see who it is!"
Rhulgha gets ready by the door.
Miraji nods:
Yes, lets find this horrid woman and be gone from this place. I like water, but not water that is polluted in a sewer.
Naraj says, "Let's hope it's the people we're looking for... a spot of revenge would do wonders to salvage our evening."
He stands near the door and slides his bow from his shoulder, raising it with an arrow to fire at whatever might be on the other side.
A well is set into the northwest corner of this long room. Much of its low retaining wall has collapsed, scattering bits of stony rubble and broken bricks around it. Six dusty oak barrels, all swollen with age, line the south wall. The entire room reeks of rotten meat.
Peeking around the corner, Naraj spots what seems a vast horde of the undead!
Round
Katie is impressed.
"A real undead horde. Let them come to us!"
"Arrow won't do much. Bash the skellies and slash the zombie puppets."
Edit - Just realized I can make untrained knowledge about undead (Favored Enemy)
Knowledge(religion): <-- might know something about them if they are real weak.
Naraj, seeing the hoarde, drops his bow and casts grease on the floor on the other side of the door. "There, that should help balance out the numbers. We can take up positions and kill them at bottleneck. Beauty and brains, what can I say?"
Assuming Katie yells something about the skeletons and zombies and their weaknesses.
Surround the door. They are mindless, let them come to us one at a time so that we can encircle them.
Miraji then moves forward next to the door.
A quick assessment shows there to be four zombies and six skeletons.
Miraji figures that blunt force trauma will be most effective against the skeletons, confirming Katie's shouted warning/advice.
Gotta get these Sandals of Quick Reaction. Combine them with the Cleric(Divine Tactician) or Wizard(Diviner) abilities and you get an extra FRA every combat. Good way to start as a full caster.
Round 1
Naraj brings the otherwise terrifying horde of undead low with an incredibly apt Grease spell as all three of the closest monster hit the floor in a shambles.
Nonetheless, the one skeleton able to strike claws at Rulgha in an attempt to bring him down - but fails to inflict injury as the bone claws scrape across his armor without puncturing it.
Party on, Garth!
Katie grabs a firebomb and throws it at the center skelly.
"Fire in the hole."

Katie's bomb is hucked through the crowded doorway and explodes right in the middle of the pack and simultaneously ignites Naraj's Grease. The resulting devastation outright burns down half of the skeletons and sets the nearest zombie on fire as well.
Rhulgha steps into crane-style and uses his Nine-Section Whip against the skeleton that almost hit him. (Or a target if I have to move in)

Rulgha's beastly whip quite literally splat!'s the zombie on the floor in front of him, incidentally leaving the party unthreatened.
Rulgha, back up. Make them come to us.
I believe Rulgha has a 5' step he can make straight back. His call if he does this.
If a skeleton or zombie moves into the square in front of me.

Naraj draws his longsword and positions himself near the door, then waits for a target worthy of a slash.

The visible zombie charges through the grease fire to attack Rulgha! Behind it, the remaining skeletons and zombies try to follow - with one of the skeletons falling and burning up entirely. The other two skeletons catch flame, but do not fall yet.
Otherwise, Party on, Wayne!
AoO: -- Miss, most likely.
Damage:
I also had the readied attack, but only did 2 damage with that one.

Naraj handily dismembers the charging zombie before it can eat Rulgha's face.
Pary's turn!
Miraji waits once more for the next mindless undead to wander to its destruction.
Readied Attack-unarmed:
Damage:
"I could throw another acid flask or holy water vial in there, but it would be a waste."
Katie moves up and readies a longsword attack only against zombies.
"I don't want to insult anyone's fighting skills. Plus we could use the practice mopping them up old school!"
Rhulgha will delay until there is a target to hit (Not ready)
Between the four of them, the party handily destroy the remnants of the zombie horde before them. Moving into the room that now smells of burning oil and charred objects in general.
Miraji's sharp eyes quickly spot the hiding place.
Hey, look what I found.
"A wand and vials. I like vials."
Naraj whistles, "Nice find, Miraji. Hopefully whatever that is wasn't damaged by whatever resulted in the burn damage out here."
He chuckles at Katie's comment as she opens the pack and says, "I only like the vials that are filled with the good magic or valuable, personally. But I guess that's why I'm no alchemist."
