"Your speed is an amazing team. Strike hard."
Sid see this fight going their way and 5ft steps away.
With three of Zavier's blows the devourer is destroyed.
"Great job! We managed before it could drain us" Leira smalls as the devourer is decapitated "I suspect the ice is a haunt we better inspect the other doors which seems less dangerous first"
Unless there is some other idea, Leira rushes to open the eastern doors.
Zavier shudders as the thing 'dies'. We will come back and burn everything before we leave. he mutters.
A portion of this large room has collapsed into a wide chasm to the north. The chamber's structural integrity remains intact thanks to three support columns that run in a line from east to west. A smaller chamber opens to the south. The settings for the hinges in the doorway suggest it's intended for future expansion.
Leira you do not see anything of note in this room.
Leira advances to have a quick look at the chasm to the north.
"Another door to the east, let's see what is in there"
Sid will cast detect magic and a look around the room as well as check the doors.
To the north of T15 you can see that there is a bit of a path between the rubble that would allow you to move northwards.
[i]Five thrones line the walls of this icy chamber, nestled between support columns in each of the four corners. Runes are inscribed upon the headboard of each throne. On each of the thrones is a desiccated corpse.
Leira examines the desiccated corpses before approaching, fearing they might also be undeads.
Only then she closes up to the thrones to find what the runes inscriptions might be "What do you think Sid? Are these the kings of the giants?"
Every other dead thing here moves. Zavier does not like. The big human grumbles.
Leira you recognise three of the creatures as zombie lords. They have damage reduction except against slashing weapons. They are vulnerable to fire.
Sid you do not get anything more on the creature type, however, you do know that one of the zombie lords could be the remains of a giant known as Hhurrun Springbane, a former general of Skirkatla. Centuries ago he and his henchmen were slain by a mighty dwarven hero named Akargrim.
"Akargrim? Who is that?" Leira readies her falchion "Either way, those three are undead. We better destroy them before they wake up. If you have a fireball, those things will burn like dried logs!"
As a surprise greeting Leira moves towards the midst of the room and delivers a vital strike on the northernmost zombie lord "Greetings from Akargrim!"
Leira deals one of the zombie lords a mighty blow.
[ooc]Anyone else taking a surprise round action?[/occ]
Zavier asks if these are still giants. If not he will flex into Dedicated Adversary, these things and also GhostSlayer as his surprise action, otherwise, just GhostSlayer.
Dolgrym moves and casts Fire Snake, getting the two undead that Leira isn’t fighting into the range of the spell.
Fire Damage
Sid will try a disintegrate DC 22 Fort. Unlikely to do much but let's see.
The fire snake strikes two of the zombie lords and they howl in pain.
Forgot the attack roll.
I was just waiting on a pass/fail as disintegrate has two different rolls.
Better than average.
[i]Sid's bolt strikes another of the zombie lord, it almost starts to completely dissolve into ash but just manages to hang on, it does look very badly damaged, however.
Block 1: Zombie lords
Block 2: You guys
Two of the zombie lords attempt to attack Leira, one attacks Zavier
[ooc]And on to you guys
"Ouch! Ah!" Leira shouts in pain as the zombies tear her skin, fortunately the bone floating around defends her a bit. Anyway she responds with some strong slashes of her falchion!
Gallant moves up and forward 5t and attacks the creature repeatedly.
Leira swings round and hits the zombie lord behind her and it crumbles into dust. She then tries to attack the one in front of her but misses.
Gallant tears and bites into the one in front of him, tearing it to pieces.
Dolgrym casts Fire Seeds and moves to 20’ from the closest baddie.
Zavier tires to grapple the giant in front of him.
But, to his surprise, is unable to get a hold on the undead giant!
Sid is going to hang back.
The remaining zombie lord tries to attack Leira again.
Leira blocks the first axe attack with her falchion, but then is surprised by the second one, and the third one nearly sever her neck, but her magical defenses just barely avoid a clean critical cut. Fortunately, her defending bone absorbs part of the damage while she gives herself painfully to a final attack "For Trunau!!!"
]
Leira deals the last zombie a mighty blow but it is still there.
Dolgrym waits to see if the others can take it out before he has to use another spell.
Gallant does look a fair bit like one of the enemies when he moves over to bite.
Gallant tears into the creature, however it is still there.
Seeing it barely alive Zavier just tries to pound it into dust with his meaty fists.
With a series of blows Zavier causes the remaining zombie lord to crumble to dust.
Loot: 3 + 1 chainmail
3 m/w heavy steel shield
3 battleaxes
A manual of war
Zavier breathes heavy for a moment before scrutinizing the manual. The big man is very confused.
Why would anyone need such a thing? Zavier does this all the time without the words. Hah. Maybe Zombie Brains need it.
Leira heals herself before moving on. She smiles Zavier "Perhaps other fighters are more dumb and slower to learn. You should write a better manual of war yourself"
"What do you think if we explore next that area at the other side of the cliff?" profiting Dolgrym's air walk spell, Leira walks back and over the air of the great cliff to reach the northeast area.
Sid will send Gallant over with Leira. "I don't think she will need it but watch out for her either way."
Zavier follows as well, enjoying the air walk.
[i]An ornate stone shrine is built into the stone of this room's north wall, forming a narrow chancel upon which rests an obsidian altar. Placed near the corners of the room are three columns carved in the likeness of a nude giantess who is skeletal from the waist down and cradles a scythe in her hands. Coloured tiles on the floor form a mosaic of a gigantic fly with a death's head symbol on its back. To the southwest, the room has crumbled away to form an immense chasm. In the room are a tomb giant, a zombie and a strange one eyed creature.
Leira observes the layout and the enemies ahead whispering back to the others what she discovers "Wait a second... there are more undead ahead"
Know. Nature

Leira you recognise the statue and symbol on the floor as symbols of Urgathoa the god of physical excess, disease and the undead.
You know that tomb giants are immune to death effects and paralysis and their physical attacks do energy drain.
You know that zombies have damage reduction except against slashing weapons.
You and Dolgrym identify the one eyed creature as a cyclops. They have the ferocity special ability allowing them to remain conscious even if their hit points are reduced to zero.
