"Whoever has called these undead creatures to attack the theater, undoubtedly wants to trap everyone inside. We must find this danger and destroy it before more innocent lives are lost!" Lyana shouts as she heads to the outer room.

"Yes. But it could be a better idea to save innocent from this immediate danger that zombie are."

From the southern corridor, Lyana hears a void call out

"For Father Grim, for Fel Bustrani, consume them and multiply!"

Deluge can see through the door he is near. It appears to be a storeroom of some description.

Before the shout.

"I'll stay back behind Smiler as i left my armour off. I do have a dagger to protect myself and a wand for healing though."

Was the plan to rip out a bench and use it as a battering ram a viable one? I don't know since I don't know what the doors are made out of or if the seats are benches, or how well attached the seats are. So I need GM feedback before I try.

Before the shout.

"Why are we trying to get out? Shouldn't we take this chance to find Wuthers and his dig site?"

"Yes, Durgan. This is an opportunity to fulfill our mission, but we also must destroy these undead. We should sweep through the theater cleansing her of the unholy abominations. Through that process, we will likely get the opportunity you desire."

Durgan nods at Lyana.

"Yeah. Lets save these Taldan fools."

Who is Father Grim? This is not good at all! Kildrek will keep his wand in hand.

religion: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
Father Grim... I know this name... But where. I need more clues then undeath and a name. At least we know that is not her Urgathoa .

"I have heard the name Grim father somewhere."-Posted with Wayfinder

Deluge can try to batter a door. They are big heavy wooden doors, all the better for keeping peasants out - don't you know. It looks like the crowd is already trying that though. Without much luck so far.

Yea, but the crowd did not try the whole pathfinder 'cooperate' thing. I expect they are pounding on the doors with their fists and/or weapons. I want the team to use a battering ram. But it looks like some others prefer to head south and destroy some zombies. Saving innocents and all that. meh. Oh well, a battering ram is not much good when swung by one moderately strong druid.

Deluge assess the options of a battering ram and starts to organise people.

Further south there are cries of pain as the zombies tear into the small group gathering at the southern door.

Kildrek decides this could be a good moment to cast Bless on the party!

Hearing the cries of the patrons, Lyana runs toward the southern doors.

Double move south.

Rip the bench out and starts battering the northeast door with the makeshift battering ram.

"All together now... Heave... Heave... heave..."

Kildrek blesses the party. (+1 to hit and +1 to saves vs fear)

Lyana heads off in search of people needing help! Deluge helps those who want to help themselves. That door looks pretty solid though.

Durgan trots after Lyana.

"Zombies! Try me on for size!"

Volar follows Lyana and Durgan.

Saving people is the Pathfinder thing to do, right?

"Come on Smiler. More dead things to fight!"

Durgan and Volar head off to join the battle.

Delays.

The zombies continue to look for brains. One of the noblefolk goes down, hard.

"Save us!" screams the man in the middle.

Durgan moves up and readies an action to aid Lyana's next attack.

Aid Another Lyana: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Kildrek double moves.

Irisus also double move.

Deluge continues battering the door with his pack of helpers.

Deluge has no useful spells and a sling with no precise shot skill. Since he would be next to useless in the southern fight, he will continue to batter at the door. Besides, it's just like him to do that. Oh for a warp wood spell or adamantine crowbar right now.

Lyana runs into the sourthern room and engages the baddies. The center one in pink looks like a living person. Is she a bad guy? If so, I'll attack her first.

Power Attack with Falchion: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24 for damage of: 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (1, 2) + 7 = 10
Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21 for damage of: 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (2, 2) + 7 = 11

readied attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
The figure in the middle has the appearance of someone directing the zombies. She keeps a careful eye out, and as Lyana heads in, directs a viscous blow with a pick. Lyana lets her armour do its job and proceeds to remove the woman's head.

"Oh, fine blow peasant. Well done!" says the man, who then realizes the two dead people still want his brains.

"I can actually hurt any living ones who are giving us trouble, as opposed to these walking slabs of beef. So leave any breathing enemies to me OK?"

Volar and smiler reassure the nearby nobles, while the zombies turn on the rest of the group...

The red one tries to bash Durgan
slam: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
While the blue one seeks out paladinic brains
slam: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Not having a clear line of sight for Fire Bolt the cleric elects to channel once more, hoping to harm the undead in the area!

Channel to harm undead DC 12: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Volar moves to the door to get a clear view of the room. Seeing that Lyana is wounded her uses his wand to heal her.

CLW wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

He also whistles for Smiler to attack while pointing towards one of the zombies. Blue.

Smiler moves in and tries to bite the zombie.

attack roll: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9 damage roll: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Irisus tries his acid splash.
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
1d3 ⇒ 3

Kildrek channels holy power, and two zombies burn in his radiance.
will: 2d20 ⇒ (18, 19) = 37

Volar heads Lyana, while Smiler tries to distract the zombie but fails to shed it as he did the earlier ones.

Irisus tries to summon acid, but the allies and cover make it very difficult to land it successfully.
-4 for missile into melee, and -4 for cover, even with a crappy touch AC, that won't hit sorry

"Die foul creature!" Lyana exclaims as she turns her falchion to strike the undead with the blue sock.

Blessed Power Attack with Falchion: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9 for damage of: 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (4, 3) + 7 = 14

Lyana tries a powerful, but off target, strike. Deluge continues to batter at the door out, but it shows no sign of breaking. A nearby man says

"I think your friends might be in trouble..."

red attacks Durgan: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
blue attack Smiler: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
damage smiler: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Smiler gets a body slam from a dead body. He doesn't look too happy and barely stays on his feet.

You people keep trying. I'm going to go deal with the trouble to the south.

Even if the ram does not work it will keep the herd occupied with a purpose and hopefully prevent a dangerous stampede

Deluge gives up his place at the futile ram and hurries to the south.

Not that there is anything he can do to help.

Wand still in hand, Kildrek heals Smiler!

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Durgan attempts to distract the red zombie so that Lyana may more easily cut it down.

Aid Another for Lyana: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 Lyana gets +2 on her next attack roll against the red zombie.

"SMILER!" shouts Volar as he sees his friend get badly hurt.

He steps over and uses the wand on him.

CLW wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Smiler tries to get his revenge on the moving corpse that just hurt him.

bite attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 bite damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

claw attack 1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11 claw damage 1: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

claw attack 2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16 claw damage 2: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

"SMILER!" shouts Volar as he sees his friend get badly hurt.

He steps over and uses the wand on him.

[dice=CLW wand]1d8+1

If it matters I had already healed him for 7.

Irisus seeing the carnage retries his acid.

acid: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
1d3 ⇒ 2

not very constant in this time sorry[i][b]"

Seeing Smiler, wound the undead with the blue sock, Lyana turns her attention, and her falchion, upon the zombie with the red scarf.

Aided, Blessed Power Attack with Falchion: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 17 for damage of : 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (4, 2) + 7 = 13

I guess he still needed the 2... I honestly missed that though. Thank you.

Deluge moves to rejoin the rest of the team while Kildrek and Volar heals Smiler. Smiler returns the favour by slashing at the blue coated zombie with his claws.

Durgan and Lyda double team the zombie with a red scarf, it totters, buts stays up.

Irisus summons more acid, but it just makes a pool on the floor.

The blue coated zombie again bashes Smiler.
attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
But with little effect.

The one with a red scarf tries to smash Lyana
attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Also without effect.

The man cowering by the door looks up as the tide slowly turns against the undead. "Nicely played peasant!" he calls out helpfully to Lyana.

"I am no more a peasant as you are a man of courage! Now, prove me wrong and fight, sir!" Lyana reprimands the man. She turns back to the blue coated zombie and delivers a massive blow.

Blessed Power Attack with Falchion: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 1 = 23 for damage of: 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (4, 4) + 7 = 15

Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 4 + 1 = 24 for damage of: 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (3, 1) + 7 = 11

As the man is riddled with blood and guts from the undead, Lyana looks down upon the craven figure, "The Dawnflower will protect the meak and the mighty! Should you survive this horror, praise her name now and forever."

Deluge pauses in his charge, seeing the powerful smack-down dealt by the paladin.

Yeah. Praise the Dawnflower you worm. I would if I were you.

Moving a bit further until he can spot red, he lobs a feeble sling shot towards the thrashing zombie. Point blank applies and -4 for firing into melee.

To Hit: 1d20 + 1 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 1 + 1 - 4 = 7
Damage: 1d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4

Durgan attempts to bring down the last zombie, but merely ends up continuing to distract the mindless thing.

Flurry 1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11 damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Flurry 2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13 damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Lyana removes a zombie head.

A whiny voice replies "Don't you realise I am your better! That got blood all over me." the fawning figure next to him takes off a scarf and starts to dab at the mans clothing.
