Grigor charges G8 and doing an attack against the Zombie F9.

Short Sword Attack
The black tentacles wrap around Valiard's legs arms and chest, their rubbery strength slowly squeezing. Valiard gasps for air, but each time that he breathes out, the tentacle constricts a bit more, crushing the air out of him.
Black spots begin to swim before Valiard's eyes, but he is unable to break free, or even gather the breath to call out.
I think that this business is a bit too much for me...
Round 8: The Detailed Citizens of Carrion Hill
Making his way to the outside of the building, Iozef notices Valiard being grappled by some form of tentacles. By the gods. Hang on, Mr. Tessar! Iozef then takes off in a dead run.
Windle continues to advance slowly, cold fury in his gaze and voice. "You signed your own death warrant when you put your name in that book, 'Keeper.' But I'll show you more mercy than that thing the five of you called up." Windle gets ahead of himself, slips, and falls, but manages to avoid going in the vat.
Mireza bites back a sob as the acid continues to eat into her shoulder. Seeing Iozef heading out the battered front doors, she follows, hoping to get out of range of the middenstone merchant's caustic spells. Rounding the corner of the building, she sees Valiard wrapped in what looks like a massive shadowy snake.
Grigor charges a zombie, but slips as he gets there, unable to control his speed.

Round 8: Myre and his Zombies
The zombies congregate on Grigor, but only two of them can manage to attack him, one of them charging.

Both slam into the Crow, pummeling him with their fists.
The acid digs one last time into Mireza’ shoulder , but then the sizzling stops.
Myre laughs madly: ”AhI Ah! Ah! Very well “distinguished guests. I’ll just feed you to the vats!” His hands trace arcane sigils in the air in front of him, then channels the energy in the direction of Grigor: ”Feel Her cold touch!”
Meanwhile, the tentacle dance around the rogue and the zombie.
Their embrace is just too strong for the rogue. As for the zombie, he is crushed and incapacitated.
Mireza feels the conjured acid blessedly fade into nothingness, but its caustic effects have left her shoulder blistered and bloody and her arm moves only with great effort and greater pain. Holding it against her body with her good arm to prevent it from being jostled, she hurries up behind the young Pharasmin. "Apothecary!" she scolds, tears still in her eyes. "Get out of there!"
Iozef straightens himself, "Mr. Tessar, Madam Mireza is right, you are going to get yourself killed within those tentacles." Iozef grasps his holy symbol and calls on the healing power of Pharasma.

As Grigor tries to pick himself up, he feels his body stiffens. As with the ghouls this morning he watches with horror his body refusing to obey his command, stubbornly lying still as the zombies close in.
Round 9:
Windle stands up , then makes his way to K-5 , nearly slipping again but catching himself.
Just as he begins to feel the last gasp of air leave his lungs, a burst of energy washes over him. From the corner of his eye he can see the priest, running up the street towards him, shouting...something, a nimbus of energy around him.
How can someone look so awkward as they run? he thinks as he struggles against the bonds.
Valiard contorts and the tentacle slips for a split second, just enough for him to free himself!
Will
Valiard slips free of the tentacles for the barest instant, and rabbits away to freedom along the outside of the building.

Round 9: Myre and his Zombies
Three zombies start pummeling a prone paralyzed Grigor.

Their fists pound the Crow, sending blood flying.
From his platform, Myre watches the Crow being beaten to death, confident. He gestures quickly and his hands start glowing with a dark blue eerie glow.
Seeing the apothecary break free, "Well done, Mr. Tessar. Now, you wouldn't happen to know a quicker way within, would you? I know I do not have to explain to you how time is of the essence if we are to aid Mr. Thetra and Mr. Vachkov before sheer numbers overwhelm them."
Round 10:
Damnation! Time to end this before the Crow dies. Windle slips and slides his way closer to the fight and, whispering to his bow "Death to men!", sends a pair of arrows winging towards Myre.

Valiard waves at the patch of tentacles. "If you have a way to get rid of this...patch...then we can get inside this way, otherwise we need to run back down to the south to get back inside."
Caught in the burst of healing energy from the priest's holy symbol, Mireza feels the burning pain in her shoulder lessen. "Apothecary," she steps forward and places her palm against his chest, "trust me?"
You can run as a full-round action. If you do, you do not also get a 5-foot step. When you run, you can move up to four times your speed in a straight line (or three times your speed if you're in heavy armor). You lose any Dexterity bonus to AC unless you have the Run feat.
"No. I don't." Iozef then removes the wand from his pack.

Damnation! Time to end this before the Crow dies. Windle slips and slides his way closer to the fight and, whispering to his bow "Death to men!", sends a pair of arrows winging towards Myre. The two arrows fly true and sink deep in the Baron, sending him reeling and snarling with pain, knee buckling.
And poor Grigor can’t shake Myre’s spell while he’s beaten to a pulp.
Round 10: Myre and his Zombies

As Valiard nods his assent, he feels a curious but not painful sensation on his chest beneath the heat of Mireza's hand, as the surface of his skin under his clothing and armor ripples and furrows. Removing her hand, she glances up at him a little apologetically. "Now I can heal you -- once -- no matter how far from me you are. It's not forever; I can take it away again when you want me to."
Mireza watches the shadowy tentacles writhing out of the ground with interest. Like the wraiths of evil flowers, she thinks to herself as she moves around the area of effect, drawing her crossbow. Just inside the door, the grasping magic has almost squeezed what is left of Myre's unfortunate employee in two, seemingly unaware of or indifferent to the fact that it is dead. She loads a bolt into her weapon. Whisper if you need me, her voice sounds in the others' ears.
Round 11:
I have to get to Gregor before they tear him apart. Windle changes his judgment to pure damage and again targets the nearest zombie with disrupt undead. Divine power crackles forth from his hand and lands a glancing blow on the animated corpse.
Let's see how close I can get.
Valiard rounds the corner of the building and ducks inside, instinctively starting to pick his way from shadow to shadow as he moves across the building's floor.
"Mireza, I am going to see how close I can get to him, I might be able to tag him again with a dagger...and end this."

Iozef runs to get back inside the building.

The zombie dances under the cackling energy, but does not go down. He slowly turns to face the inquisitor.

Round 11: Myre and his Zombies
Now that Grigor lies unconscious on the floor, the zombies turn their attention to the next threat. Slowly, they make their way towards Windle.
Meanwhile, Myre studies the scene, obviously content with the carnage.

Iozef continues on his way back inside the building.
Valiard continues his way along the wall. Creeping along until he reaches the edge of the tentacle spell.
Seeing the still form of Grigor in a crumpled Valiard's eyes widen, and he breathes to Mireza. "Grigor is down. I can't tell if he is alive or not...I would guess that the zombies killed him though."
