Okay, wasn't sure if my last attack was round 1 or surprise round...
Tricksi reloads and fires again.
Attack:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22 Damage:1d6 ⇒ 3 Hmmm, think I would have been better falling back
Ixat grunts as he swings his bardiche at the closest zombie, cleaving through rotting flesh and bone, before preparing to cut down another zombie.
Attack:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 Damage:1d10 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14
As the team of monsters rushes forward, Tricksi fires another bolt, with minimal effect, she begins to think that you must slice these things apart to stop them. And, Ixat and Eckowo prove that she is right as they slay one after another of the monsters.
Eckowo severs the lead zombie’s head, and as others come around the corner, Ixat’s bardiche goes this way then that way, lopping of one head and then another.
Round 2
More Zombies struggle over the corpse of the monster on the floor, they are almost on top of you
Round 2 Zombies move so that they are in Melee Range, as this is round 2, Ixat gets another AoO and then all of you can go again…hmmm must think of way to drop zombies on top of Player Character’s, wonder what a helicopter will cost?
"Hmmm shooting holes in Zomfies no work." Tricksi drops the Crossbow and draws a dagger, if she can get a shot at one of them with no risk to her allies she'll throw it.
Throw:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 Dmg:1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 Daggers do S or P damage, not 100% sure if that applies to throwing them, but can't see anything preventing it
HP 15/23 | AC 20/T12/F18 | Fort +4 | Ref +2 | Will +1 (+2 vs illusion)
Since I'm down at the bottom of the order, and I don't expect them to last until my turn, I'll spoiler my post. Ignore it, wait, or use it out of order.
Later in the round:
Eckowo lashes out at any surviving zombies. "Die, evil rotting things." Irrelevant is the fact that they are already dead.
Power attacking and bardic bonuses on all
DR is already factored into the gore damage
I'm directing attacks at one zombie until it goes down, then attacking the next, and taking a 5' step in the middle if needed: Claw 1 (B/S):1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 1 = 15Damage:1d4 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 1 = 11 Claw 2 (B/S):1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 1 = 13Damage:1d4 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 1 = 9 Gore (P):1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 = 11Damage:1d6 + 6 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 1 - 5 = 8 Talons (S):1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 1 = 17Damage:1d4 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 = 8 Bite (B/S/P):1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 1 = 25Damage:1d3 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 = 8
If he has to use his bite attack and hits with it:
Eckowo spits at the downed zombies several times, wiping his mouth on the back of his clawed hand. "Disgusting." He spits again.

Since melee is not available to Izabek he will simply put his sling away and draw his weapon, just in case one manages to slip by. He'll conserve what little in resources he has until he can complete his rest and regain his spells.
Ixat grins viciously as his polearm cuts the undead beast in half. He swings it once more at the oncoming zombie, before dropping his pole arm and ripping any reaming zombies with his claws.
Day 3, 295/92 (Current Turn/Turn of the Clock, time 3:10 pm) Turn 4 of 6
Initiative Order:
ZOMBIES – 16
Izabek – 16
Ixat – 16
Tricksi – 13
Dasilane – 8
Eckowo - 5
Slugg – up, but needs to roll Initiative!
Round 2, wrap up
Tricksi’s dagger slices off a chunk of Zombie as it flies past the creature
I really don’t know what Slugg is doing, but he misses, and I am sorry the game is so dull you lost interest in it, makes me feel like I need to try harder
Dasilane continues to bolster his new friend’s efforts
With three Zombies remaining, Ixat and Eckowo stand toe to toe and begin to tear them apart
I think, Ixat will destroy one zombie with an AoO from his weapon, and then both Ixat and Eckowo, with their multiple attacks each, easily dispatch the remaining two
End of combat, each Character receives 200 experience points
The passageway is now piled with corpses, and giant insect parts, effectively sealing the party on the other side. You can rest safely for 8 hours here in the passageway. It is now turn 344, the Turn of the Clock is 140, approximate time of day is, Day 3 11:10 PM
Reduce your rations by one day's worth
Damage Tracker:
Zombie Yellow – dead, well deader
Zombie #2 – deader
Zombie #3 – deader
Zombie #4 – deader
Zombie #5 – deader
Zombie #6 – most deader of all

Eckowo eyes the pile of various body parts with satisfaction. "Well, that's one way to find a wall."
He settles down against a wall and is soon sleeping again.
Don't forget to regain your 2 hp for resting, everyone. And can anyone make the DC 20 heal check (and have the healers kit) to restore more? Any non-magical healing is good healing.
Day 3, 344/140 (Current Turn/Turn of the Clock, time 11:10 pm) Turn 1 of 6
Everyone rests as well as they can, sleeping on the cold Dungeon floor. You wake, and feel ready for a new day
There is a Door (it was trapped, but the has it Rest?), it is not Locked, but it is stuck, and requires a Take 20, plus some helpful modifiers, or a good roll by a strong character using a crowbar or other door opening tool, to open. Or, the party can climb over the carnage and go back to the Chamber to the southwest, and choose a new direction to try
You recoiver Hit Points, as Eckowo mentioned, naturally, and you recover spells, when you are ready to go, choose a path and we’ll see what lies ahead!
How many times does Eckowo try before the Door Opens?:1d6 ⇒ 2
With some effort, and a groan from the door, it opens
Now somebody can throw a d20 to determine what is on the other side. If there are Enemies, you do not have surprise, as it took two rounds to open the door with a crowbar.
Day 3, 344/140 (Current Turn/Turn of the Clock, time 11:10 pm) Turn 1 of 6
Eckowo pries open the door and when it is loose he kicks it inward.
A menacing Gargoyle is ready for him and rushes at him to attack
Behind the gargoyle on the floor are three small coffers
Here is a new thing I am trying. Each of you should roll Initiative, and a Perception Check. The DC for the Perception Check is 10 plus the Monster’s HD, so here it is 15. If you roll a 15+ you can act, on your initative in the first round, if you roll 14 or less you are surprised and do not act in the First round. The first round will be a Surprise round, so only a Move, or Standard Action can be taken, if you can act in this round
Gargoyle’s Initative:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
DM Notes:
Gargoyle HP 42 | AC 16, t 12, FF 14 | F +4, R +6, W +4 | DR 10/Magic | 2 claws +7, d6+2, Bite +7, d4+2, Gre +7, d4+2 | CMD 19, CMB +7
Knowledge(any):1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18 I believe Gargoyles are "monstrous humanoids" and would fall under Knowledge(nature), but I could be wrong. As a CR4, the DC should be either 14 or 19 depending on how rare GM decides these things are.
EDIT: if I succeed, I'd like to know about DR/any resistances.
I typically default to a DC of 10+ the creatures HD, and avoid the whole CR debate, so here it is still a DC 15, to know the details of a Gargoly, and that would be Knowledge Nature. Now in any other game i would be running, I might make all kinds of changes to that, but this is supposed to be moving a little quicker than one of my normal games. So, Dasilane, is a font of information regarding gargoyles, in fact he is so busy ticking off details on his fingers, that he doesn't remember that he should probably be doing something this round
"Hey, that's a Gargoyle! I've heard a lot about them. They can fly and have almost as many attacks as Eckowo. They blend in with statues really well, too. Oh yeah, nonmagical weapons don't really hurt them.... I wonder what this one's name is! Goliath? Hudson? Demona?"
I go after the gargoyle in init, so I presume no sneak attack... so my Crossbow's going to do a whole heap of nothing.
Tricksi will toss it aside and draw her shortsword.
HP 15/23 | AC 20/T12/F18 | Fort +4 | Ref +2 | Will +1 (+2 vs illusion)
Ignoring the warning about non-magical attacks as something he can't do anything about, Eckowo steps forward into the doorway and attempts to gore the monster.

If Eckowo can't affect the creature due to the need of a magic weapon, Izabek will cast Magic Weapon on his own flacata and ask that Eckowo withdraws so he can take point in the fight. If, by some chance, he can damage the creature after all, Izabek will cast Shield of Faith on Eckowo.
slugg got his appropriate healing, putting him just shy of max. this fight, i hve one spell worth a damn, chill touch, my weapon cannot beat DR 5 if he has DR 5.
Dasilane will pull out his scorpion whip while he continues to rattle off information about Gargoyles. Interspersed with the random trivia are the occasional important insights into movement patterns and fighting style.
Its probably incredibly stupid, but if the Gargoyle comes out, Tricksi will try and slip through it's legs to get behind it into a flanking position with Eckowo.
Acrobatics:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
Eckowo and the Gargoyle “but heads” and square off sizing each other up. Izabek imbibes his weapon with eldritch energy and Tricksi barks out an order while judging the stride of the stony beast. Finally, Dasilane readies his whip while he begins Inspiring the other’s with important facts about how to kill Gargoyles!
Round 2
Eckowo withdraws, and the Gargoyle lunges after him, but before the Gargoyle can attack, Tricksi takes a daring move to roll through the creatures stride to spring up behind him.
Okay, taking some liberties here. Eckowo withdraws, and I am thinking that Tricksi is holding a ready action (a move action) to tumble behind the monster if it comes out, and she does. Her action interrupts the Gargoyle’s action, this round, and adjusts her Initiative to 20. She can attack now, with flanking, and then the Gargoyle will attack Eckowo with two claws and a gore
