Try to go for the pin!

Grapple: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

A little help here! This guy is a bit squirmy.

Lyana points her blade at the last cultist, "Surrender and you may yet live!"

She's unwilling to slice into a grappled person and willing to take a prisoner. She'll ready an attack and wait for the cultist's response.

I believe you can dog-pile a grappled person gaining bonuses. I wonder why it is called a dog-pile? Anyway, if you have a decent CMB or even if you don't, you can help and have a little fun too.

"Never!" cries the fanatical man.
He spits at Lyana. "Death is Always Unexpected."

Smiler continues attacking the person he was commanded to attack.

bite attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14 bite damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

claw attack 1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13 claw damage 1: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

claw attack 2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 claw damage 2: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Volar moves in and tries to stab the cultist with his dagger.

dagger attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19 dagger damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

"It is a shame to end a life that started with such brilliant promise and ended with hatred and violence. Be at rest," the paladin frowns and brings her falchion to down intending to send him to meet his deathly god...

Power Attack with falchion: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 for damage of : 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (1, 1) + 7 = 9

...but Lyana's heart is troubled and her hand is not sure. The cultist lives for another moment.

"Rat... Help Lyana. " Say irisus while he walk close to the danger.

The rat climb down and attempt to help the paladin.

Smiler takes the fight out of the man in blue. Suddenly all is quiet again.

You have three bodies, two of which are still alive, in front of you.

Durgan goes through their pockets and looks for loose change.

Durgan searches the cultists for anything useful.

"Any of this stuff magical?"

Lyana binds the hands and feet of the cultists and hands a pick to the closest noble that gives no aura of evil about him or her. "Guard them. They will get free, but their life is not yours to give. Keep the crowd mentality from taking a vigilante frame of mind."

Then the paladin heads to the next door and flings it open, stepping through the doorway.

They have picks, short bows and armour along with a shield.

One has a couple of bottles (one of which is empty) - the other is magical.

Each also has a note on them.. linked above.

Take 10 Perception: 10 + 7 = 17

"Anybody mind if I drink that healing potion?"

"Go ahead. Looks like you need it."

Irisus looks at his nails. "Yup."

Really, they are doing so well without me.

"So what do we think brings these people here then? Another link to what is happening here i think." says Volar as he points at the nearest cultist.

"Well this note is signed 'Fel', and I think I heard somebody shouting something about 'Fel Bustrani', so I'd say this Fell guy brought them here. I wonder what stone they're talking about?"

"Probably the cause of this. Let's goes behind the scene. Those artist were a bit too reactive for me."

Durgan feels much better. The real question is... where to next?

Lyanna has entered the room marked '6'. She is adamant in making sure that all of the opera house's patrons are safe before moving backstage.

Deluge was in 6. Nothing but a herd of lemmings there.

You continue around the building. There are several bodies in many of the rooms.

Eventually you get up to the storage Atrium. (area 9) Here there is the biggest pile of bodies yet.

Various parts of a dozen corpses lie strewn about the floor. Blood and gore stain everything, making the floor slick and filling the room with a metallic aroma. Bodies lie askew, mouths hanging open in silent screams, faces contorted in fear.

This is awful! See if there is anythin' behind that door over there, though.

Lyana advances on the door to the right. Opening it quickly, she holds her falchion high, ready to strike.

As she walks through the room, Lyana notices one of the bodies start to move, as does Kildrek who calls out a warning.

I just knew that was going to happen. At least we did not all run into the room!

"Friends! I have found more of the foul beasts!" Lyana shouts as she swings at the zombie in the red dress as it stands up.

AOO Power Attack Falchion: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 vs FlatFooted for damage of : 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (2, 3) + 7 = 12

She then to the zombie in the blue suede shoes and slices it from grotesque head to dapper toes.

Crap "Lyana! Attack the red alone again! I have a plan for the others! " And one gone for the day
With a snap at his finger, Irisus creates a square of grease below the three zombies. grease reflex dc 15

Kildrek channels again!

Kill them all! DC 12: 1d6 ⇒ 1 He must be getting tired.

To heal or harm? I'm going to assume harm given the crowd
Lyana slashes at the nearest zombie, not stopping it rising to its feet, but still doing a bit of damage.
AOO missed, even against its prone AC
Irisus makes the floor... slippery

While Dildrek calls on the power of the dawnflower to remove the blight of the undead. However they don't seem terribly impressed.

The bodies all clamber to their feet, looking around with dead eyes.

The ST say wills, but isn't it reflex? Also which ones are prone? Deluge would like to take a shot at one of the creatures not engaged and not prone so he will get no penalties.

To Hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Hmm. Not that it matters with a nat 1.

Blast... I've have to do this the hard way! Kildrek moves forward with his Wand of Cure Light Wounds and tries to touch the red zombie with it!

Touch: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20 for Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

None are still prone, they spent their surprise round standing.

Deluge tries a poor move, and doesn't connect. Durgan is a little more skilful and trips the red zombie. Npo worries about the one, as Durgan can only take a single action in a surprise round, he couldn't flurry anyway

Kildrek moves up and stabs the prone zombie with his wand.

I wasn't acting in the surprise round, I was acting in the first normal round.

[i]I wonder where all this acid come from[?/i]

acid splash: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

-Posted with Wayfinderred zombie: 1d3 ⇒ 1

With no way to get in Volar would likely try to find a way around, however that could potentially lead to triggering another encounter...

Unsure how he can help in the tightly packed room, Volar decides to wait until an opportunity comes up that he can take advantage of.

Delay. I believe Smiler would go on his initiative and continue guarding Volar so he cannot delay.

Irisus sends a jet of acid over one of the zombies.

Lyana tries to finish off the blue zombie
attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1) + 4 = 8

The blue body finally gives up and drops.
The red zombie stands, attracting a potentially punishing blow from Lyana.

The green one steps across to try and eat the paladins brain..
acrobatics: 1d20 ⇒ 13
slam: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

The yellow zombie slams Kilkrek, but finds it difficult with the door in the way.
attack, cover: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 - 4 = 14
damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

The nobles wince as they see and hear the zombie blows land.
"See, now a knight of Taldor wouldn't find any difficulty with the dead..."

"My lord, those are dead bodies walking around. If they finish with the peasants, well.. you should remove yourself from danger."

"Nonsense, this is better than the appalling show we watched earlier, and the blood is real. If too many of the peasants die, we will regroup and direct some of the middle classes to protect us with their bodies."

Lyana grunts from the impact of the zombies slam, then looks sideways at the noble. "...by your leave, sir." She brings her blade to bear upon the zombie in the red dress with an upward slashing movement as she takes advantage of the zombie climbing to its feet. Pivoting on her right foot, she then strikes at the zombile with the bright green sash with an overhead chop.

Yes, once again Deluge lobs a sling shot over the heads of the combatants to plink off of a zombies head, momentarily startling the near-mindless beast but doing no real damage.

He regards his bag of shots with frustration.

Might as well just lob the whole bag of them by hand for all the good this is doing!

Lyana drops the red zombie as it rises, but doesn't manage to take down her next target.

Deluge is unfortunately ineffective.

Kildrek winces as he is struck by the zombie without the protection of his armor. He then tries to strike it with the wand once more!

Let's try. There maybe a chance, it hits.thinks Irisus.

Volar uses his healing wand on Kildrek while still waiting for an opening to send in Smiler.

CLW wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Dugran bobs and weaves as he shoulders his way into the room to stand beside Lyana.

Total defense, provoking AoOs from yellow and green.

Kildrek stabs the yellow zombie with the heal wand. It doens't look healed at all. Ouch.
will: 1d20 ⇒ 7

Irisus sends in a jet of acid, but between the zombies being in combat with his allies -4 and the cover the same allies provide anotehr -4 It is almost impossible for him to land it accurately.

Durgan pushes into the room.
AOOs: 2d20 ⇒ (5, 8) = 13
The zombies are far too slow to take advantage of the opportunity and hurt him. While they are distracted, Volar quickly heals Kilkrek a little.

The green zombie, distracted by Durgan, tries to bash him.
attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
But the quick dwarf is far too agile for it. The yellow one continues to try and beat on the other nasty dwarf with the painful stick.
attack Kildrek: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
