Kazadar will move to M22, and in row 21 he will cast stone shape.
Kazadar steps forward, and seeing the need for a bulwark to slow the oncoming enemy, Kazadar grabs his shield by the edges and carves a faint line along the ground, and from that line springs forth a crude wedge of stone to serve as a low wall.
making a wedge spanning the width of the hallway (10ft) and .7 feet thick at the bottom and 6ft tall. It'll have less hit points at the top but should be sufficient enough to take several hits given 15hp per inch of thickness and hardness 8. I imagine a few hits will take the top down to 5ft, or better yet we could fudge the numbers a bit to make it stop at 5ft tall and the extra bit melting in to add thickness to the top (i'm no math wizard, used a volume calculator to calculate the area of a "right wedge" even though i didnt want it to fade to 0 thickness at the top. I wanted it to be more of a trapezoid but i don't know what those are called when translated to three dimensions.

Gil's positioned at a fallback position, wearing the armor, at the other end of the short hall, just inside the room of mirrors. So she's not on the map.
I feel it incumbent upon me to point out that Janosz is less than 6 feet tall and probably can't see over the wall, let alone shoot a bow over it. Anyone bring a footstool for him to stand on (there might be one in the tent)?

well, i figure enemies will rush forward, the lesser ones will pile up until some can crawl over, providing targets for Janosz as the others. Also the large creatures protrude above the 6ft line, so i figure he could also shoot at those. at least that was my logic.

"Cover works both ways. So..." Janosz steps up to the wall and easily pulls himself up on its edge. "I'll jump back down when the dead guys get close."
Janosz' Climb check is +17; it'll be trivially easy for him to get up on top of the wall. It top edge is, however, pretty thin; Acrobatics 13+19=32 to maintain balance while standing on top of it. I assume I can't fire my bow - instead, I'll resume firing next turn.

Seeing the wall and reasoning that it will give her time to prepare if it is breached, Gil opens the face of the suit. She debates a suitable casting to aid her friends. Delaying beyond the action to open the suit so she can cast later.

More of the usual, starting with OZ3; if it falls, I work my way down the ramp to the right. I'm using Manyshot, Rapid Shot, and Clustered Shots.
Attack 1: 11+20=AC 31, damage 2d8+6=15 + 2 electricity + 10 fire.
Attack 2: 8+20=AC 28, damage 1d8+3=8 + 3 electricity + 6 fire.
Attack 3: 9+14=AC 23, damage 1d8+3=10 + 4 electricity + 3 fire.
Attack 4: 12+9=AC 21, damage 1d8+3=8 + 2 electricity + 4 fire.
Then it is the zombies? And the way we've set this up, then it might be my turn again.
Not from all the way back there. I'm wondering how Ez targeted them from behind the wall as well with his fireball. I guess we have learnt what we didn't know before - that Ez is freakishly tall and gangly. Seven years and we never noticed before!
The zombies shamble onwards, another falling to Janosz's deadly arrows.
That's it, they've moved, time for Janosz to shoot again.
"Terrible waste of money. With a little planning we could have marched them right into the tent, locked them up somewhere and had our own zombie storage. Of course that is the kind of thing I would think of after destroying the majority of them."
When you are less than 6' tall, a 6' wall is most definitely tall enough. But Gil is too far away to see much, rather than being too short in the suit.
The way this looks, if I knock down the front zombie this turn, I'll probably take out OZ5 on the next. But after that OZ9 might get a swing at me. We'll see.
Janosz still has his last set of attacks - he hasn't used that, but if he does he'll cop an AoO. Please let me know if he is going to shoot, or alternatively let me know what his other actions are. And Ez can get an attack too if he wants if he wants to stop delaying, as can anyone else if they are in range.
AoO
Club 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 12 + 2 = 18 to hit, damage 2d8 + 11 ⇒ (8, 2) + 11 = 21
The dice don't like these guys much.
The zombie thrashes in Janosz's direction but doesn't get a hit in, and the master-archer finishes it and its companion. All the zombies are now destroyed.

"Gross." Janosz wrinkles his nose in disgust at the tableau of rotten flesh and ruptured organ that smear the walkway in front of him. "Now, how do we move on without awakening the skeletons? They are faster and more agile than the big zombies; frankly, they worry me more than the now-rekilled ogres did."
Looking back, the zombies were pretty much Janosz' ideal enemies - slow, weakly armoured and unable to gang up on us. I could probably have killed all of them myself (which would have taken two months of game time).
Ezreal surveys the carnage and the still motionless skeletons. "Nice work Janosz. Gelb, Gil- we need to inspect the next door for traps. Everyone else- on guard but do not engage the skeletons unless they make a move."
Cast Detect Magic. Give it the rounds become fully functional and then glide down the central walkway scanning for magical triggers from here to the door.

"OK. I'll walk over to the door next. If the skeletons wake up, I'll run like hell back to the wall. If they don't animate, Gelb's next, so he can check the door." Janosz jumps off the wall's edge and walks towards the exit with measured steps.
I'm sticking to the M column. Perception 10+26=36 to spot skeletons moving.
