DM Zyren's Heart of Darkness (Inactive)

Game Master Zyrenity

Feeling bold against the undead threat, Salfon holds his palm in the air, towards a far away foe. A brilliant light shines from his open hand and jumps to the zombie.

Searing Light on L, -1.

Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 No! What a waste!

The zombie dies and...

When an apocalypse zombie dies, it explodes in a burst of decay. All creatures adjacent to the apocalypse zombie are exposed to its plague as if struck by a slam attack and must make a Fortitude save or contract zombie rot: save Fort DC 12; onset 1d4 days; frequency 1/day; effect 1d2 Con, this damage cannot be healed while the creature is infected; cure 2 consecutive saves.

Alcheringa Fort 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Blaze Fort 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

"Ugh!"

Kyren looks surprised at the explosion of zombie guts as Alcheringa attacks it.

Hmm? Alcheringa is getting a lot more powerful than I ever imagined. There is nothing left of that one!"

Round 2

Kyren casts another acid splash on the Zombie attacking Berry.

"Orb go Splat!

Ray Touch Attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Damage 1d3 ⇒ 1

Hmm? This is very difficult saving my more powerful arcane spells for later! I hope we all make it to later! I wonder if Salfon knows how to use his divine energy on these undead creeps?

Ducking underneath the zombies fist Berry pulls a vial from her robes as she steps beside Salfon shaking it vigorously. It bubbles and pops and an acrid smoke starts to emerge from cracks forming on the inside. With a toss she gives it to the zombie. Where upon contact it explodes violently covering it in an all consuming glaze of angry fluid. "Was hoping to catch more than one like that but they're being so very uncooperative."

With a tug from her robes she pulls free a crossbow from her robes.

Anything within 5 ft of the splash takes 6 damage.

Initiative change till after zombies due to held action.

I know what you're thinking Kyren, but I was waiting for the zombies to move a little closer together. Soon enough...

Since Jazz' zombie has died, I'll redirect his attck. Berry, I already put you after the zombies.

Damage 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Rapid Shot Attack 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16
Damage 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Fort save vs. Zombie Rot: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15 <--additional +2 if this counts as poison.

ROUND 2
Double move to flank the injured zombie w/Ronya to F2--I can do this without drawing AoO

Edit: I reserve teh right to retcon if the zombies do somethign to somehow invalidate this choice! (in otehr words, I forgot I go after them . . . but this is my plan if the situation remains the same)

Salfon keeps his distance and dances around the zombie. He plants his feet down and pulls out his pendant, which radiates light.

Carefully step, out of threatened squares, to E6 and Channel Positive Energy. Will DC 19 for Undead to half damage.

Channel Positive Energy:3d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 2) = 11

EDIT: If my calculations are correct, all three zombies are affected.

Will save1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Will save1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Will save1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Ronya is hit several times and the zombies slam their fists at her and try to bite her. The fragile woman bleeds from several wounds after the zombies have ended their onslaught. The third monster attacks Salfon.

Advanced Apocalypse Zombie attacking Salfon/ Slam1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

"Kazam! I love the energy, Salfon! That's the way to zap em!"

Kyren moves over to A5 and casts another Acid Splash on C7.

"Dinky Orb go Splat!

I won't post Round 3 actions until the zombies go. I shoudl be giving Ronya a flank vs. one zombie though . . .

I'm going to find you, dicebot, and I will kill you.

Bomb and orb miss the zombie and Salfon does not look like he is feeling well...

The zombies chage their positions a bit and Ronya misses with one of her attacks.

Waiting for Salfon to attack.

Battle Mat

the zombies were tactically smart enough to shift positions, but Ronya wasn't???

After the zombie beats its fist into Salfon, the cleric seeks to return the favor.

Shift to D7 and spontaneously and defensively cast Cure Moderate Wounds and touch the zombie at C7.

Concentration (Got to hit DC19):1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13
Touch attack:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Damage:2d8 + 5 ⇒ (1, 7) + 5 = 13

EDIT: Only taking actions from now on that require no dice rolling. Seriously.

R3

Alcheringa takes aim (g3) with his bow and lets the arrow fly...

Blaze waits, ready to engage any who try move on Alchy.

Attack 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 7 - 4 = 8
Damage 1d8 ⇒ 1

Dicebot?!

Bomb and orb miss the zombie and Salfon does not look like he is feeling well...

That's a really good touch AC. Rolling for bounce then.

1d8 ⇒ 4

The bomb lands in B6 It needs to make a DC 16 reflex save or take 10 damage.

These zombies are really impressively fast and agile, most of your attacks are avoided by their sheer evasion speed.

Reflex save 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

The spray of acid of the exploding bomb still hits the zombie, though.

As Salfon tries to touch the zombie with his healing hands, the monster lashes out

AoO for casting in melee / Advanced Apocalypse Zombie attacking Vaughn / Slam1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Damage1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

@ Vaughn, the zombies acted after Ronya, when it was her turn there was no imminent need to shift.

The zombies hit her again, but Salfon is also attacked once more.

Advanced Apocalypse Zombie attacking Vaughn / Slam1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Seeing the Zombies are staying up longer than he'd like, and doing more damage than he'd like Alcheringa sighs and reverts to melee...

Before Alcheringa, Jazz and Kyren are able to kill the zombie (which will happen after Alchy's attck), the monster attacks Salfon again. (If Salfon kills it first, ignore this).

Ronya, Blaze and Vaughn have meanwhile brought one of the southern zombies down and the remaining one attacks Vaughn now.

Argr!

While poisonous salive sprays from the undead's lips as he attacks.

Advanced Apocalypse Zombie attacking Vaughn/ Slam1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
Damage1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

@ Vaughn and Blaze: Both of you have to save vs. zombie rot since the monster exploded. Same is true if Salfon does not amange to kill the zombie before Alchy arrives.

Battle Mat

Salfon notices the group coming in to assist, and wanting to recuperate from the zombie's blows, decides to channel divinity.

Can't remember where that zombie was, but if possible, 5' into E6. After the shift, I'll channel positive energy. DC 19 for the undead to half damage. I'm hoping heal Ronya as well.

Channel positive:3d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 3) = 12

ROUND 4

HP: 61/61 after Salfon's channel!
