Hagrym swings at the monster yet again. "Is that the best you have undead demon? That's not enough to harm a servant of Dwerfater!"
Attack
Damage
huh, look at that, a couple of dwarves dancing to a Halfling jig. That's odd I would of swore they were both alpha male types but who can tell cause of the beards
Naomi watching the battle unfold, continues playing the Halfling battle jig on her mandolin, changing keys and picking up the tempo on the bridge.
Turvijagal will slash at the ghoul again with his scimitar, same as before
crap, now I won't be able to figure out which one of them was leading
Naomi releases her mandolin back to the ether, she walks up and slaps Turvijagal on the back and asks with as little sarcasm as possible
well boys, shall we keep banging on stone doors no one has gone through? Or, head down the hallway the opposite that this abomination came from?
Out of the shadows something attempts to touch Hagrym
Damage=1 point of STR
"NOO, come on laddies, I couldn´t even bloody my axe on that thing. Thank you, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!" The dwarf looks sullenly at Hagrym as if to say, come one brother, do not do that to me again!
"Argh! What in the bloody hell," Hagrym yells as he was hit by the shadowy creature. He swings his axe at it.
Attack
Damage
Miss chance. (High roll is good)
The metal bar for the stone door is split asunder and the door lies in two large pieces on the floor of the room. The door is scratched and scarred, but still legible. The room is empty.
this door is broken
after congratulating Turvijagal on defeating the ghoul Naomi just barely catches the combat with the shadow, seeing the open room she goes in and inspects it, coming out she tells the boys
Well struck, Hagrym, the room is empty, but it's the same shape as the room we came into through the tunnel that was dug. Turvijagal can you read the writing on the broken door?
The dwarves can see another group of zombies off to the west.
"Remind me to not try to hack down any doors from now on, Naomi," Hagrym grunts, as he continues to suffer the effect of the shadow's touch.
"I think the Dwarves need to stay on look out or we need light to see from someone, so far just a bunch of undead, but we should attempt to see them first. Good job on the ghoul everyone!
Hagrym outstretched an arm and pointed to the group of undead. "We have to finish them, too! If anyone wants to soften them up first, I'd appreciate it. Ulfguard, it's time to wet your blade with undead entrails!"
Hagrym will give a round for the others to ranged Attack, before he moves to close the distance.
Initiative
Loads a bolt in his crossbow
roll init Shandar
"Hewoo, well at least one of them is just for me. Maybe two."
Charging happily into the zombies he will attack the first
Letting Ulfgard go first, Turvijagal follows behind and charges to hit the Zombie hit by Ulfgard. Using his scimitar.
Things were moving faster than Cyrus could keep up with them, but he knew he had to do something.
~But what? It is true that Zors has responded more to me in the past hour than he has in five years, but I am no warrior.~
Taking stock of the surrounding and seeing nothing that could aid them nearby, Cyrus just watched as Ulfgard and Turvijagal rushed by him and began attacking the undead creature.
~It is like they have faced these creatures thousands of times before.~
what the heck is that?
as Naomi is returning to the hallway she hears an odd shuffling and heavy panting; stepping to the door and seeing the scrum around the bend she realizes what she heard was the dwarves and company scurrying to attack more undead. Concerned that there may be more coming from the opposite direction; she draws her sword and turns right, returning the way they came, with the intent to protect the squishy spell casters. As she nears Lucky and Galerio,keeping a keen eye out, she asks them.
do you think all the undead are approaching from the clock-wise side because Rayne D’Anzeray and his goons cleared the other direction out?
Letting Ulfgard go first, Turvijagal follows behind and charges to hit the Zombie hit by Ulfgard. Using his scimitar.
[dice=scimitar]1d20 + 5; 1d6 + 2
[dice=critical confirm]1d20 + 3; 1d6 + 2
Turvijagal slices the head off a zombie and it falls.

Watching the half-elven swordsman sever the head from the staggered undead, Cyrus was again impressed at the killing efficiency of these men.
"I wish I knew. I would not be surprised if those men had joined the ranks of these creatures if they were of the same skill as their companions. Although from the look of these corpses, they have all seen better days."
~Especially that one that spoke in a strange tongue. I would like to examine him to see if he carried any mark or symbol on it.~
Turvijagal swings around behind Ulfgard and strikes at the zombie in front of Ulfgard (so he's only facing 1, not 2) and slashes at it with his scimitar (no charge, because he took a sort of circular route)
Still in round one guys:)
Jarvis
Ulfgard
Galerio
Shandar are up.

*innocent whistling*
I knew that.
Ulfgard will with an almost mad glee hack left at the other undead
Galerio will load his crossbow and keep his eye out for any additional creatures coming from either direction.
Shandar was loading his CB so we are waiting on Jarvis then the lone zombie if he survives that long!
Hagrym double moves to get closer to the remaining zombie.
Jarvis double moves to the front... it is clear the enemy has been dealt with.
Joined there ranks?
Naomi, surprised the zombies have lasted this long asks Lucky
Do you think this Rayne D’Anzeray would have surrounded himself with incompetents? He seemed to know enough about this place to find his way in.
watching the combat, she flinches a little at Ulfgard's crushing blow

Keeping his eyes on the others as they continue to hammer at the undead creatures, Cyrus kept the lighted staff raised high in case more shadow creatures appeared as well.
"I have seen men have all the faith in the world in the cards they were dealt only to realize too late the dealer was cheating them. While it is likely this D'Anzeray knows means to deal with these creatures as well, something could have happened to him all the same. Why are there no torches in the hallways and how long can even the dwarves hold up if more of these creatures continue to attack? My gut tells me we are missing something here, we may be chasing the queen and she is in the sleeve of another."
gambling metaphors, ok, lets see how to put this
Naomi keeps her "dancing lights" halfway between herself and the combat zone, listening to Lucky closely as she watches up the hall.
that's why you don't play the house my friend, you can't buck the tigers odds. Your right there are no torches in the hallway, it's either the light or the noise that is drawing the undead, but with the wand we can keep our front line on line so to speak. My question is if D'anzeray is creating the undead as a distraction or are they natural to this place, we need more information.
smiling she says
The easiest was to keep the dealer from cheating you is to deal the cards yourself.
