Do the ghouls continue to burn from Dr Grimm's fire bomb on the following round?

It is up to you

Grimm replies to the missed attacks with a furious swing of the morningstar. Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Grimm readies his feral mutagen with his third arm to drink next round.

Grimm strikes down one of the burning ghouls with his Morningstar!

Are we on round 2 of our actions?

Yup

Grimm's eyes widen with the appearance of the new combatant. Well, at least he's on our side. They'll be time for introductions later.

An enormous man with glowing tattoos charges from out of no where swinging his fists which appear to be made of marble at a ghoul.

[dice=attack]1d20+9[dice=damage]1d6+7

A strange, glowing-tattooed newcomer races up to one of the ghouls attacking Kinyama! The strange newcomer's marble fist shatters the ghoul's facial bones into shards and it falls!

Eight ghouls remain: 3 on Koran, 3 on Derrik, 1 on Dr Grimm, and 1 on Kinyama....

Kate steps back fifteen feet onto the sidewalk on the east side of Ben Franklin, well out of the ghouls' reach, but within range for channeling....

Channel to heal wounded allies 2d6 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10

Hang in there, boys!!

Rads eyes widen as a strange burly man with no armor glowing skin charges into a mob of zombie-ghouls and punches one in the face. For some reason, he finds this more unbelievable than a boat captain frog-man named Kermit.

As the ghoul falls, he cheers and shouts to the stranger, "Good show man! Thanks for the help!"

Much more satisfied with the current odds and wall of other people between him and the zombies, the history professor raises Traveler and takes aim between both Koran and the strange pugilist. One hand traces arcane runes in the air while the other steadies his gun.

"Burn!"

A small bullet streaks to the space between the fighters and erupts, engulfing all undead within it's 15 foot cone in flames.

Burning Hands: 3d4 ⇒ (1, 2, 4) = 7
Aiming for the area, not a specific ghoul. Lining up as many as I can catch without engulfing my team. Reflex DC 15 for half

Three ghouls shriek as the flames engulf them!
Reflex save 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Reflex save 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Reflex save 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Seconds before Radsworth's magic bullet engulfs them in flames, the three ghouls savaging the paralyzed Koran turn their attentions on the pretty young woman they can somehow sense is the source of both their own pain and their prey's succor.... They move as one, gamboling across the street and each trying to take a bite....
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

One of the ghouls claws past Kate's riot shield and sinks its yellow fangs into her shoulder!

1d20+3 1d6+1
1d20+3 1d6+1
1d20+3 1d6+1

One of the ghouls claws past Kate's riot shield and sinks its yellow fangs into her shoulder!

NOOOO!!! Stay away!! Oh, God, please, NOOOO!!!

Following their progress across the street and after Kate, Rad fires his burning hands bullet and it bursts into a cone of searing arcane flame, scorching the three ghouls' backs while leaving Kate unharmed....

The three ghouls attacking Derrik continue their assault....
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5 bite
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3 claw
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3 claw

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4 bite
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4 claw
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5 claw

But Derrik's superior armor protects him from their attacks!

The single ghoul attacking Dr Grimm continues to try to bring him down....
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3 bite
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1 claw
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5 claw

But Dr Grimm continues to prove elusive, dodging its wild attacks!

The ghoul attacking Kinyama continues its assault....
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3 bite
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5 claw
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3 claw

Kinyama is mauled for 8 points of damage, and must make 2 Fort saves vs DC 13 or be paralyzed 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 rounds....

ENOUGH!! DIE, you undead FREAKS!!

Kate channels a fourth time, this time to harm the ghouls again....

Channel 2d6 ⇒ (4, 6) = 10 positive energy into the ghouls!

The remaining ghouls erupt in holy flames as Kate's divine energy bursts outward, enveloping them!

The ghouls collapse into moldering ruin as Kate's channeled positive energy encompasses them! Team Lido is victorious yet again!

After half a minute, Koran's paralysis wears off, and he feels sensation and the ability to move returning to his muscles.

Are you guys okay? Anyone hurt?.... Oh my God, I f%*$ing hate monsters....

Kate walks over to Krar the Boar, right hand extended in friendship.

Thanks for your help, sir.... I'm Kate, and this is Dr Grimm, Kinyama, Derrik, Mephos, Professor Radsworth, and that big guy is Koran The Hammer. We're looking for food and supplies, and trying to help any survivors we come across in whatever way we can. Some call us Team Lido.... Monsters call us.... The Fierce Ones. Wanna join our team?

Cool tats.... How did you get them to glow like that?

For ease of location, map of Lido Key again, and another link to the map of St Armand's Circle....

And a correction: I stated that the Holiday Inn was directly across the street from the public beach parking lot, but it is in fact further up the road, about another quarter of a mile. A different hotel, the L-shaped Beau Lido Suites, is across from the parking lot.

Team Lido (The Fierce Ones) stands on Ben Franklin Drive between the public beach parking lot and the Beau Lido Suites.

According to Radsworth's map, there is a police station on St Armand's Circle, in the "gold quadrant" (the northeast quadrant), on John Ringling Blvd.

(Marked as building 443C on the linked map of St Armand's Circle.)

Fort saves for the Lulz

Fortitude: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Fortitude: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
Fortitude: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

During the combat Derrik was fierce and kept the creatures at bay with his size and presence.. and When Kate used her Channel to heal him for the first time runic symbols appears upon his armor and a flash from inside his helmet and seemed to work especially good.

When the fighting is all over he cracks his neck only a few scratches upon his armor. and making sure they are assaulted again, he nods to the newcomer but as always is wary of him. After the introduction He takes point once more.

Kate looks up at Derrik, who now towers over normal men and seems to wield an axe the size of a surf board.

Um.... You're kinda freakin' me out, boy! Haha! Don't squash me....

Derrik looks down upon her and takes massive knee, though his ebony and red armor with sharp edged helmet most likely did not help along with the axe.

" I am sure it is simply temporary ... do not think of me as a threat.. think as though I were your sentinel.. Im sure that will help your mind process this.... Though I am told .. some women like a big man.. is that true? "

Kate could feel the light-hearted wink THROUGH his helmet at that as a booming chuckle erupts from it.

" I wonder if Jew- " cutting of his sentence and getting up to take advantage of his height to get a good pan of the area.. while avoiding saying more

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

The doors of the Beau Lido Suites lobby swing open, disgorging a dozen hairless humanoids that lurch on back-bent, dog-like legs, their hideous mouths flanked by tiny arms with three-fingered hands!

They shamble toward The Fierce Ones, wailing angrily and flailing their ghastly limbs which end in hook-like talons!

Double move to within 5-ft-step (next round) of targets on Team Lido....

Initiative 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Seriously!?

initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
swift action to add boar stance
My name is Krar, some call me the boar I have been survivng alone on this island since... Well you know since when.

Only half a minute passes between the end of the fight with the ghouls and the beginning of the fight with the sinspawn, but it is just long enough for anyone afflicted with ghoul paralysis to recover....

Derrik grips his massive axe in anticipation and readies his enlarged self.
Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Grimm grabs a bomb in both of his right hand and the rifle in his left hand. The bombs are ready to be thrown.

Derrik will position his massive self forward and Slash his Axe in a wide arc, covering his allies movements with his form and making the creatures think twice about pursuing them without caution, Attempting to cleave a good portion of the dogg-legged creature in front of him away.

Dawnbringer: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 202d6 + 3 ⇒ (3, 2) + 3 = 8

Using his longer reach to threaten other oncoming adversaries

Krar moves into both creatures attack range... then immediately back pedals back out provoking an attack of opportunity from both creatures.
Krar immediately gets an attack on each of them, if the attack hits they get a -2 on attack and damage on there AoO.

Round Two's action in advance got called in to work early

Derrik weathers the Creatures attempts on his life and those of his comrades and attempts to fell one with another strike

Dawnbringer: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 92d6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 2) + 3 = 11

Ooh! Ooh!

Derrik will position his massive self forward and Slash his Axe in a wide arc, covering his allies movements with his form and making the creatures think twice about pursuing them without caution, Attempting to cleave a good portion of the dogg-legged creature in front of him away.

[dice=Dawnbringer]1d20 + 5; 2d6 + 3

Using his longer reach to threaten other oncoming adversaries

** spoiler omitted **

Derrik's massive axe chops a great gash in one of the sinspawn, but it still stands!

Radsworth!

Eeeeek!!

Round 1

"Good heavens.. now what?!"

Radsworth considers the creatures carefully, trying to figure out what family of monstrous a+@$!@@ they belong to and anything he can about their abilities.

Knowledge Dungeoneering: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
Knowledge Arcana: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15
Knowledge Planes: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

"Regardless of which genus you come from, I doubt you enjoy bullets, vile things."

Rad aims Traveler at the closest enemy and opens fire. (assuming Point Blant Shot applies)

Attack!: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Damage!: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

I believe that is 32 points of damage on Kinyama (doubling the damage where I missed rolling for one of those claw crits).... The kitsune falls unconscious under the overwhelming assault!
