Victor advances on the leader, taking a swing with his longsword:
Also, maintaining Inspire Courage. To hit:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26 Damage1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Rekkstuff slams the door closed on the horde and bars the door, before bracing himself for retaliation from the zombies trapped in the room. Meanwhile, Victor and Roger score solid hits on the skeletal creature.
In retaliation, the Mohrg swipes at both Victor and Roger, trying to grab Victor in its claws.
And the zombie swipes at Rekkstuff again, but misses.

Rekkstuff tries to finish off the Mohrg.
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20 1d12 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
His axe cracks the bones of the Mohrg's chest as it slices straight through. The creature collapses into the ground with a clatter. As it does, the zombie stops in its tracks, and remains motionless.
Unfortunately, it looks like Rekkstuff doesn't have any healing. I guess you can wait until Victor un-freezes.
That should be enough to regain consciousness for me and, once he realizes that there doesn't appear to be any immediate dangers, he'll go about using CLW to restore Roger to consciousness, then healing everyone. I don't believe I've used any 1st level spells outside the wand yet, which means I've four CLW's before moving to the wand.
After he wakes up, Roger begins talking. We're.... We're alive? That's good to know. So, how'd things pan out after I went down? I mean, I see what the end result is, but how'd we get to it?
Jordon says, "Well, if we're all done here, I'd vote for a change of venue. But first..." Jordon goes over to the corpse of the disgusting mohrg, glancing over it for valuables without touching it.
Searching the room, you find 15000 gp-worth of stockpiled gems, gold, platinum, and art. Now, do you remember why you're all here in the first place...?
We're here to look for said chick's husband. Let's get to looking. Waidda sec, do we even know his name, or what he looks like? That could be a problem...
Yeah, I do think we're here because Jordon was in search of tail. But I suppose a large amount of swag works too.
Jordon takes as much of the valuables as he can easily carry, then says, "Hopefully the dame's husband was not among the already zombified. I suppose we should look for any who are still living, yeah?"
Outside the office, you see the horde of zombies standing perfectly still and unresponsive. Most of them look relatively fresh, with only minimal decay. However, none of them look like they are still completely human.
Roger helps gather the swag Jordon can't carry, and starts checking round, looking through the assorted mass of zombies for someone who fits the, I assume, given description of the husband.
You eventually find one of the zombies matching the description given to you by Elendra. He's a dwarf, with a distinctive scar across one eye. Like all the others, he is simply standing in place with a glazed look on his face.
The zombies throughout the ironworks simply stand and stare as you walk by, carrying one of their compatriots. When you reach Elendra, she exclaims "You found him!" as you plop him down on the floor.
It's quite late by now, and you're all starting to wonder what happened to Tobar. You're going to need him for the show tomorrow (or rather tonight, since it's well past midnight).
"Well then, I guess you'd better get ready. It's almost dawn, and you still need to rehearse. Or practice. Or whatever it is you music people do to get ready."
OK, you guys can do whatever you want to get ready. Sleep, scout out the venue and competition, etc.
You'll have a 4-song set again. Remember the rules: All but one of you have to make the Perform check for each song. Let me know if you want to do anything else to amp up the performance.
Tobar awakens from where he lies in the alley and brushes off the detritus that had lodged up against his slumbering form. Figuring the lads will see him at the gig, he spends a bit of time grabbing breakfast and figuring out what floats the local's boat...
