Vordrek and Gunnar tend to the dwarf's wounds while, thanks to Rolando's action, Torean wounds the warrior pretty badly, almost sending her to the grave. Rolando steps boldly forward and slices the cultist in front of him, while Eladrian fires in the fleeing man's back. The fleeing cultist falls with a loud *thud* and bleeds profusely. She Who Waits curses the warrior fighting with her dwarven friend .
The remaining opponents try to hit the foes before them but, despite the witch's hexe, the female warrior manages to hit Torean nevertheless.

Rolando's spirit takes a parting shot at the cultist as the singer darts past, thrusting his flaming flag in the cult leader's direction to create and opening for Torean.
Flagbearer: +1 morale to attacks, weapon damage, saves vs fear or charm
Weapon song: +1 flaming weapons for all mundane weapons, or flaming and frost for all weapons that are already magical
Spirit Totem: Negative energy attack once during your turn if adjacent to living enemy. Attack = BAB + 3, damage = 1d4 + 3
Superstition: +3 morale bonus vs spells, SLAs, SUs
Moment of Greatness (except Rolando): You can one time, as a non action, double a morale bonus before rolling. This works on flagbearer, superstition, or any other morales.

Between the arrow and axe from Eladrian and Torean helped by Rolando, they slay the last cultist standing and the leader spits blood on the ground, raising her heavy pick axe. But at the same moment, a black ray of necrotic energy hits her right in the face and she falls to the ground, lying still.
As you search the dead bodies, you see that the female fighter had + heavy pick axe and a +1 full plate. All three of them carry the same note that found on the dead cleric of Zyphus earlier.

Torean wipes the sweat from his brow from a hard fought victory. He kneels at the foot of the vanquished woman to gives thanks to Torag for his might.
Rising, he searches the woman's body taking up the magical pickaxe. "Seems like this Fel is stirring up lots of trouble. We need to find out where they came from, right? That's how we'll get down into the dig site to find Wuthers." He takes out a healing wand to close his wounds.
[ooc]Is the pickaxe a symbol of Zyphus or a regular magical pickaxe?

Eladrian goes through and collects the arrows that he can, gently closing the dead warriors eyes and saying a prayer for them as he moves through. This bit of observance does not, however, keep him from searching through the pockets of the dead for anything useful. Returning to the group, he holds out the notes that they were all carrying. "I agree Torean.. and the sooner the better. Would someone mind helping me with this wand please?" He asks the casters in the party.

Of course, Rolando says, using the offered wand on Eladrian. We should continue--who knows how many of these lunatics still wander the halls...

Eladrian moves over to the exterior door and checks it
"Magistrate, it may be better for you to leave this place. If this door opens to an exit, is that what you would wish to do?"
|
|
Are the doors north of us the exit? If so we should escort the magistrate outside, then go south of our current position to enter the main hall. Once in the main hall we will go immediately west to check out those rooms. Everyone good with that? Unseen Servant will open all doors.

The doors indeed lead to an exit but the magistrate sticks with Rolando. "No way! Did you see those groups coming from everywhere? I am sure they came from outside the opera as well! The most secured place is within your group. Also what kind of bodyguards are you to release the man your protect like this?"

As you decide to move forward and to inspect others rooms, you get back in the main floor.
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.
As you stand there in awe and disgust, you see two human zombies among the carnage rising but struggling to stand up. Soon, a bugbear zombie join them and look over to where you stand. As you prepare yourself to battle, you hear a shriek on your left and see a dinosaur zombie rushing towards you!

Before leaving from the other room, Eladrian makes sure to grab his Earth Breaker and stow it away. Moving into the next room, he has his bow ready and an arrow on the string. He reacts viscerally when the first zombies rise, "By the gods, why won't the dead STAY DEAD!!!???" butt just stares dumbly as a large undead dinosaur rumbles in towards the party. Seeing that as the main threat.. at the moment.. he takes a step towards it and gets a good look at it before sending an arrow off.

Torean rushes towards the bugbear and slashes deep in the zombie's flesh, meanwhile Gunnar enlarges and hits the big undead dinosaur. Eladrian fires one arrow and She Who Waits curses the dinosaur with misfortune.
The bugbear swings his morningstar at the dwarf before him but misses.
The dinosaur, which is nothing more than a Megaraptor, steps forward and lashes the dwarf heavily.

Vordrek casts another spell, and a rod of white light shimmers into being beside the dinosaur. It moves in midair and swings itself at the undead creature.

The witch curses the bugbear zombie while Eladrian sends a volley of arrows, two of which hit. Gunnar's hit misses however. Torean easily chops off the head of one of the noble taldan zombie. The bugbear zombie shakes the hex off easily.
Holding his ground, the megaraptor attacks four times the dwarf before him.

The ghostly staff continues its assault on the dinosaur. Meanwhile, Vordrek steps toward Gunnar and imbues the dwarf with a bit of magic.
