Rikas quickly throws a dagger into the eye of the nearest zombie! The creature staggers and falls to the ground, unmoving.
Xenobia channels holy energy, burning the zombies!
Two of the zombies shuffle toward Kris, while the third steps forward and breathe out a cone of smoke at Andrazi and Rikas!

If she can ID the breathy one as 6hd or less, she will attempt to control it with her channel energy power. If she doesn't ID it, she'll attempt anyways. Otherwise, she'll attempt to control these weaker zombs, up to 6 HD. DC 20 Will vs Channel.

Kris recognizes that all the zombies are the same, a variant zombie that breaths flayleaf smoke.
Kris exerts her will, but only manages to command the one that just breathed smoke!
Andrazi moves up and slashes at the zombie, but misses!
The man yells to his sleeping companion. "Elbie! Get up you godd for nothing, lazy sack a...." He then moves up next to Kris and Andrazi while pulling a blade, ready to attack!
Rikas takes a running start and hurls a dagger at the man, sinking it deep in his chest! One of zombies slams his with a decayed arm for his effort!
Xenobia channels more holy energy, turning two of the zombies to dust, including the one under Kris' control! The third zombie resist the energy and still stands.
The last zombie tries to slam into Andrazi, but misses by a wide margin!
Andrazi swings and slashes the man with the mustache!

"I think I'll still take this one. Maybe you'd make a nice replacement?"
Kris asks the remaining shopkeep.

The first man yells, finally rousing his companion. As the mustachioed man steps south of Andrazi, the other moves in, taking an attack from the controlled zombie!
The zombie misses, but the men both lands hits, one on Andrazi and one on Kris!
The zombie attacks again, this time landing a solid blow on the newcomer.

Kris wreaths her hand in dark energy of Death's Touch again at whichever one hit her!
If that connected, she'll then draw her pick to keep giving flanks.

Kris feels the amulet for a minute, "I can't feel any distinguishable power."
She will be using her wands to heal her undead and herself (and follow up with a False Life.)

Looking around, you see that there is a back room.
Moving into the back room, the party sees that it is a workroom. In the center of the room, a long table bears a confusing mess of stains, a glass of red wine, and a half-eaten bag of peanuts. A huge oil-on-velvet painting of woman in varying states of decay covers much of the eastern wall. A wand lays on the table.
Rikas' sharp eyes notice a lever secreted behind the painting.

Kris fails to ID the wand. She will order her new zombie to eat them peanuts and wine after making sure nobody needed them for a weird faction mission or something.

Rikas checks the lever and decides it opens a concealed door. Pulling the lever pops up a large stone tile in the floor. Beneath is a winding staircase that leads down about 20 feet.
|
Finishing his check of the walls, Rikas turns around feeling slightly dejected at his failure... only to see the trap door at his feet. After checking it for traps or ooze traps or zombie traps or any sort of trap, he opens it before peering down, his eyes piercing the darkness.
If nothing is down there, he holds up a hand toward his companions to hold a moment while he descends.
Rikas peers into the darkness and sees a set of stairs leading down, that double back on themselves.
Heading down, a stone staircase doubles back on itself as it stretches deep below surface level. A stone wall divided by a pair of doors faces the foot of the stairs, with a single door each on the east and west walls. Two human skulls rest on identical shelves on either side of the double doors.
As Rikas enters the room to check for traps, the two skulls flanking the double door, speak out.
Otherwise, Rikas finds no traps.
