Sorrin nearly drops his blade in the excitement of battle.
Even with cover two pokes pierce the undead causing damage. (HP 31)
Moving out of a threatened square usually provokes attacks of opportunity from threatening opponents. There are two common methods of avoiding such an attack—the 5-foot step and the withdraw action.
Now would be a good time to tell him Torgue is colorblind.
Bri frowns at the moving bloated corpses. "Stupid undead. Sorry guys, not much I can do in this fight expect make potshots with my crossbow. Unless of course you want me to drop a fireball behind them....."
Bri seriously considers the fireball.....
Chell swims up or down to get a decent line of sight at the undead approaching. She spies three of them in a nice neat line but not close enough for what she had in mind. Sorrin was playing it smart and weaving his sword in front of him in a defensive maneuver. A wight's touch was deadly and very difficult to heal. Once the creatures have gathered closer she lets loose a blast of bright, white light right in their midst.
Round 1
Astrianna is once again stuck at the back of a line when all the action is happening up front. Ah, some of them were undead. Intelligent undead are the worst, really. I wonder if the Karikanti have a deal with them? Otherwise how do they co-exist?
She acts as rear guard and watches the room they just exited.
Bri your attack hit but you did not crit with all the penalties and cover. You did 8 HP of damage.
Nonmagical fire (including alchemist's fire) does not burn underwater. Spells or spell-like effects with the fire descriptor are ineffective underwater unless the caster makes a caster level check (DC 20 + spell level). If the check succeeds, the spell creates a bubble of steam instead of its usual fiery effect, but otherwise the spell works as described. A supernatural fire effect is ineffective underwater unless its description states otherwise. The surface of a body of water blocks line of effect for any fire spell. If the caster has made the caster level check to make the fire spell usable underwater, the surface still blocks the spell's line of effect.
The one in q:16 which was previous poked by Torgue is destroyed, while the other one suffers damage and is blinded.
the blinded wight Moves 10 feet.
then he whacks wildly with his slam.

*UWP=undersater penalty
**half damage due to UWP
The creature cannot see. It takes a –2 penalty to Armor Class, loses its Dexterity bonus to AC (if any), and takes a –4 penalty on most Strength- and Dexterity-based skill checks and on opposed Perception skill checks. All checks and activities that rely on vision (such as reading and Perception checks based on sight) automatically fail. All opponents are considered to have total concealment (50% miss chance) against the blinded character. Blind creatures must make a DC 10 Acrobatics skill check to move faster than half speed. Creatures that fail this check fall prone. Characters who remain blinded for a long time grow accustomed to these drawbacks and can overcome some of them.
The creature actually moves to Q:19.
Initiative Order: RD 2
Chell
Astri
Torgue
Bri
Sorrin
Wights
Seeing as that was the only spell she could offer at this time, Chell sinks back to the floor and contemplates her life choices that brought her to this point. Fighting wights in sunken ruins in a swamp which was inhabited by gatormen called Karikanti. This was the kind of story only adventurers told. I guess that made her an adventurer now. Had a nice ring to it.
Round 2
Astrianna stays alert defending the rear... for about 6 seconds. Then she notices there is some moss stuck in her hair. The bard blanches and quickly picks it out.
Follow me.... He follows the creature.
Torgue moves up and thrusts
With the blinded creature's loss of armor and dexterity Sorrin's attack hits but it's less lethal underwater. (slashing dam = half 9). torgue trudges up behind sorrin and pokes the undead. (14 HP).
*I fudged your movement and gave you an additional 5 ft(10 with terrain) ft so you could reach and attack.
RD 2 Wight
The wight has a sense of direction again, now that he has been hit a couple times. He tries to slam sorrin,

Missing sorrin
----
Torgue takes the opportunity to inflict damage on the undead.

Sorrin, encouraged by the excellent teamwork... presses unexpected advantage.
One of sorrin's attacks hit home.
The last wight is destroyed by the piercing spear.
The party emerges form the tight colonnade into an endcap room similar to the one you began in. It is roughly boxy in size measuring 20 by 25 feet or so, and there is a lot of debris and fallen rubble. You don't detect anything magical in this room, nor do you find anything of real value.
There is a wider hallway leading to the North form the room. You do see a large and what appears deep hole or fissure in the floor.
"Hold up a sec you guys, i can detect something in that pit."
Bri has a quick discussion with Emmy and then sends he down there to make sure there isn't anything down there. She figures another of those undead things would have no interest in a tiny snake.
Astrianna stops as they come to the large fissure, standing near the edge. "Is this a sinkhole? I hope nothing but catfish live in it."
When says she detects a magical presence, Astrianna kneels down near the hole and casts detect magic herself. "Really? Hmm, someone before us could have met an unfortunate fate..."
"If the bolts on the chains could be removed, we could maybe use the chains and butcher hooks to trawl the deeper holes like these."
Astrianna doesn't really have the patience for it. "Or..."
The half-elf weaves another spell, and attempts to telekinetically lift the source of the aura from the depths.
Astri struggles but her spell can not lift the source of the aura.
Meanwhile Emmy weavers her way through the hole when she comes upon the skeletal remains of a warrior — his metal breastplate beaten and still shining slightly in the murk, his skeletal jaw hanging slack and filled with weeds as it hangs on some roots that kept it from falling deeper into the abyss.
"Hmm, looks like a skeleton with a breastplate. Might be heavy, do we want to swim down for it or try to haul it up to us? We could probably catch it with a grapple hook."
Astrianna perks up at the mention of a breastplate, a clearly magical one. "Ohhh? Let's haul it up. Breastplates tend to be 20 to 30 pounds... If the body slips off the hook it will sink into that abyssal hole, it's not too far away."
Another cantip is cast from the bard, and she creates her signature quad of Dancing Lights. Maneuvering it into the hole,she sends it as deep as possible to see if anything stirs within the depths. "Just making sure nothing lives in this..." If she sees no obvious stirring, Astrianna slips into the hole and swims down to the skeletal remains with whomever else comes along to help.
