Trusk decimates the Zombie in front of him. Destroying it to small fragments in that one blow alone.
Luther moves and punches the zombie, it's flesh squishing under his fist. It just stares at Luther, with its dull eyes, daring him to try something like that again.
Alexis bursts out the zombie in front of Luther so it will not have a chance to hit the monk.
As the zombie falls, you only hear the sounds of the cave around you. The dripping of water, shuffling, occasional falling rocks.

"Is everyone ok? That went good, although there were many enemies. We can do this!"
"Yes, but you hear that? There are who knows more where in this cave. Be alert."
"Yes, and I'm tired. But if we go back now I bet there will be many more tomorrow."
"We have to be smart about this," Luther said, staunching the blood flowing from around the crossbow bolt sticking out of him.
"I'm still good to go but that turned into a mess quickly. Trusk, where's the next one?"
"There should be 3 or 4 about 60 or 70 feet ahead. It's hard to tell how they may have moved though, and I suspect they'll see us coming and hit us early, so keep your guard up. That last one put quite a hurtin' on me."
Valeria, hearing all the fighting going on, and the cries of pain, can no longer wait outside. "I'm sorry, but it's obvious to me you people need an expert here dealing with these undead." She moves to the front, taking the lead, moving slowly.
Seeing the undead kobold in the alcove, she turns and blasts it with a quick incantation, calling on Pharasma to cleans this corpse of evil.
Valeria's ray just narrowly misses the Kobold as it stumbled over a rock. The ray though, does catch the attention of the zombie and it rushes forward spear prepared to stab Valeria through.
Though it seems its clumsy movements are not its saving grace this time. It trips right as it reaches Valeria, the spear piercing open air instead.
You hide, prepared to ambush. The thick grass hides your position, your prey, is unaware of your presence. A warm breeze rustles the grass, and lazy clouds dot the sky.
Time: 1 min 30 secs
Alexis approaches to grant some support to the crazy foreign red woman, and sends another Ray of Frost toward the kobold:
!
!
Luther moves in and tries to pummel the unsuspecting zombie from behind.
Alexis hits the kobold right in the face with a ray of frost, freezing the flesh there. It turned its head to glare at her, though it seems she's frozen the face into some demented grin.
Scath wiggles his butt in preparation of pouncing on the prey.
Something niggles at the back of his mind, but he thrusts it out of the way as he pounces on his prey!
But he stumbles on a root at the last second, and goes crashing into the brush next to the prey, scampering it off. Something in the back of his head satisfied with that result.
Trusk moves up to join the fight and swings at the zombie.
Wylliam will also move to the zombie.
"Hmpf."
Wylliam moves forward and lands a solid blow, but the zombie still stands. It's Valeria's blow that completely destroys the kobold. All once again falls quiet at the end of the attack, leaving only the echoing sounds of the cave.
You can hear multiple moving things, though you can't tell how many. Too much echoing to pinpoint anything.
Birds are chirping in a tree nearby and you can hear rustling in the grass a couple yards away. Bugs buzz around lazy on the warm day.
Time: 1 min 42 secs
"Shh, listen. I hear something, i can't tell how much, but i'm hearing what sounds like footsteps. But it sounds like more than one.
May i suggest we stick to the wall so we won't be in plain sight."
Valeria nods, and responds in a whisper. "I'm up front, with Wylliam and Luthor flanking me. Alexis behind, and Trusk with her since he's injured. We'll move through very slowly, and Alexis and I will hit them at range and draw them to us one at a time. Wylliam, Luthor, you two be ready to hit them as soon as they get into range of us. If we do this right, we can lure them one at a time into a wall of damage and grind them up without taking any damage ourselves."
Once everyone is in moved up and ready, she'd fire a disrupt at Kobold 2. Wylliam and Luthor should be in the 2 squares south of her, with readied actions.
Scath, having missed the rabbit, walks over to a sunbeam on a rock and drops down, letting the sunbeam warm him from above and the rock from below. But something keeps buzzing at him, like the insects, but harder to ignore.
Finally, he blinks. Why feel like should be in cave? He wonders to himself.
"I may be wounded, but I'm not dead yet. And you humans are half-blind in the dark, I'm not. I can see further than your torches reach. I'm staying at the front." Trusk adds before following Valeria, adamant in his decision.
Valeria rolls her eyes. "Cleric, either heal or stuff thyself. You're a liability in your present state." She responds. "Alexis could knock you down with a cantrip right now. Don't be stupid just to be prideful."
"I'm ready, let's move!"
Luther nods, ready with the ropes to ruin the next zombie's day.
"You want to take point? Fine. Just don't be surprised when you get jumped because that torch of yours didn't shine bright enough or into the right corner."
The light hits the kobold, a ray flying past it. It lets out a screech.
Searching for the source it rushed foward with a loud echoing screech, slamming into the first person it saw, which was Valeria.
As the little beast rushes forward, Luther immediately loops an arm around its scrawny neck.
Readied sword swing:
!
The kobold was only inches from slamming into Valeria, when it all happened at the same time. As Luther moved to grab the creature, a ray of frost zooms past the creatures ear only to have Wylliam lands a sold blow. But it still stood, and it fought it's grappler.
It's struggles slammed into Luther, but did not stop the attempt to grab it. Thwarting it's attempt to get to Valeria.
Alexis sends another Ray, hopefully finishing the creature, but not.
!
Valeria's attack misses, as the kobold is dragged around by the grapple. The frost ray zooms past, missing completely, only to hit the far wall.
Luther feels the spear tip grind against something in his leg but does his best not to imagine what as he moves to lock the little monster's arms.
