Per postNecress casts Murderous Command! 1d20 ⇒ 3 the man is filled with rage at the giant undead!

The man stands and begins casting! at the monstrosity!
Draws AOO from Rysk, Cirri (if have a second), Morvius

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 121d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Rysk misses the blow!

Cirri does not have another AoO, so she uses it to hit the caster as he stands.

Cirri whacks him squarely as he stands!
All good, I had conflated the earlier trip and an AOO

R 17!

Morvius AOO, then the round continues

Random and Morvius up...

OK guys, think we are drawing a line under it there and can just handwave the final blow - he's one hit from dead, but you only have a couple of players in the fight and one has requested to opt out and doesnt wish to be GMPC'd, so its now sort of odd. Necress/Cirri/Sif - any cold blooded cool one liners you'd like to close this off with before being declared the victors?

"It's time for you to meet the Grim Harvestman now." Sifvery comments, as she fires her arrow, placing it right between the caster's eyes. Took a little liberty since she has a truestrike on board :)

Aha yes, good point. That sort of means it was going to end pretty cleanly right then and there anyhow...!

Sif gives the final deliverance with enchanted fury!

With him down, the rest is a blur of steel and wood - the zombie not having a chance.

The party having cleared out the threats returns to the Opparan nobles trapped in the theatre and finishes seeing to their rescue.

The Zyphus Stone is a terrible artifact and as Pathfinders you immediately know that its acquisition could be both a boon and a terrible burden for the Society.

It is a choice between taking the time and effort necessary to destroy the stone, thus ridding the world of its potent necromantic magic, or returning the stone either to the Grand Lodge in Absalom or to the Pathfinder Lodge in Oppara for safe-keeping. A choice you leave to wiser and cooler minds.

As a party you extensively search the House of the Immortal Son for Wuthers, and find his zombie corpse among the dead theatre foyer. In his belt pouch is a draft of the final letter he wrote to Venture-Captain Eliza Petulengro, wherein he details the final stages of the dig and the strange character of his companion—noted as “cleric of Irori” but clearly Bustani the gaunt fanatic. His pouch also contains a personal journal, a shorthand record of his many adventures as a Pathfinder.

Surprisingly, more than half of the theatergoers survived the zombie onslaught by gathering together and fighting off the undead menace. Because your mighty party dealt with Quint’s roving band bent on stamping out resistance as well as defeating Bustrani himself, the wealthy socialites and nobility of Oppara now have several dinner parties’ worth of sordid zombie stories with which to frighten
and awe their friends.

Congrats!

"Man, zombies creep me out. " Cirri shudders. " But I'm glad it's over. Good job, everyone! "
