Piotr covers up with his shield from the onslaught, blocking very little. "Thanks" he grunts to Haniko for the healing.
The siblings then lash out at the one Kilarra is hacking at.
Garrosh shoots at the red zombie, felling it.
"Shift over, brother" Ann says as she ducks under Kilarra's backward swing and then next to Piotr.
Piotr's longsword cleaves into yellow as Ann finishes it off with a stab of her spectral dagger.
Green takes a 5 ft step over and slashes at Piotr with its longsword, while eyeing Hanako balefully with its empty eye sockets.
Winter casts guidance on Garrosh, seeing the party deal with the remaining zombies.
I’m running out of magical song
It’s kinda tragic but we gotta be strong
Without our courage, our lives ain’t gonna last long
And wouldn’t it be wrong
So wrong not to enjoy the ride?
What would we say to our loved ones that already died?
What can we say but ‘see you on the other side?’
No point in fearing the inevitable Lady Death
Nothing but passion on my lips until my final breath
Which ain’t happening today…!
Hanako holds that final syllable of her inspiring tune—
—and she taps Piotr with her wand.
Baldhart sees the look that last zombie is giving Hanako. She flies over and…
…wastes another arrow. It breaks against the stone door and its splinters shrink out of sight.
The siblings both shift a bit to allow Kilarra up into the fight.
Garrosh moves further up the stairs, and shoots at their last foe.
Piotr manages to land a large slash on the juju zombie's shoulder but the zombie dodges out of the way of one of Ann's spectral daggers while the other does not penetrate its supernaturally tough skin. Garrosh's arrow hits the railing instead of the zombie.
With Hanako running out of magic song, Kilarra decides to use up her last smite for the day. She steps in to green, and delivers a powerful overhead chop!
Kilarra cuts the remaining zombie down with one swift decisive blow of her greatsword.
"I can channel twice but I don't have much magic left," Winter admits, "Just to let you know. And we still haven't found any trace of Accuser Omari."
Hanako patches up her friends with the wand.
"I don't know how much more we can take on..." Piotr admits. He looks around the battlements. "We could move to the towers, Ann could you check out the insides for more of these things, while we set up in the choke points in case there are."
While her brother starts looking over the zombies for anything they can use, Ann looks over the side into the courtyard to see if there is anything down there.
Hanako offers, “Baldhart can fly and look into the towers and over the whole fort, if you would like.”
Piotr thinks then looks at the winged woman "If you are willing to, that would save us time. Not in the rooms, but through the windows?"
Baldhart lift off into the air, peering into the cylindrical structures and generally getting a head count. She can report using her fingers as long as there are ten or less. If there are eleven to twenty enemies, she will need Hanako’s fingers.
She tries not to make much noise and hopes the enemy does not look up as she flies overhead.
Hanako watches Baldhart fly, then says to Piotr, “I think she is making sure upstairs is clear. I wonder… should she become a regular-sized fairy before peeking into windows downstairs? She is less likely to be noticed, but will not be able to fight if she changes size.
“She and I cannot really hurt the zombies with our weapons anyway.”
Ann sees 4 emaciated dogs pacing restlessly in the courtyard they bark angrily at Ann.
As Baldhart is flying towards the towers, she spots 2 zombies patrolling the other way, heading towards the party!
"This place is completely overrun... How long has it been like this I wonder?" - Garrosh ponders as he fires an arrow shot at the zombies.
Hanako moves to where she is surrounded by her friends, able to heal any of them. She has only her wand in hand.
Baldhart, during her flight, points to the courtyard below.
She holds up four fingers…
Then raises her hands to shoulder level and makes a wide-eyed expression, while her tongue rolls out her open mouth, panting.
She resumes a normal expression then flies away before the four ???s are likely to spot her.
Of course Baldhart can’t be certain she is hovering away unseen, but she doesn’t seem worried that she’ll get shot out of the sky by whatever‘s down there.
The juju zombies move up then Winter goes down the stairs, casting guidance on Kilarra.
Kilarra walks through incorporeal Ann and stands firm, awaiting the zombies.
Piotr moves up next to Kilarra, hoping to protect her with his shielf, while he wills Anna into a ghost again to maybe get around them.
Ann feels her body lighten then dashes through the wall.
With a single step forward, Garrosh unleashes again - this time two arrows in quick succession.
Baldhart flies over the building and draws her sword.
She doesn’t want to give away her position until Ann is at their backs!
Hanako steps up to where she can heal.
Garrosh's first shot missed as he is trying not to hit Piotr while his second shot is dodged while the third shot bounces off the juju zombies leather armor.
The first zoom ie moves up, drops its longsword and draws its longbow, shooting at Kilarra before the second zombie moves up to hack at her, both clanking off her armor.
Winter makes a feint with her dagger over the railing at the blue juju zombie but the zombie doesn't fall for it.
Hanako sees neither fighter is hurt.
With no ability to harm the enemy, Hanako instead readies her want. If a friend gets hurt, she’ll tap him or her.
Baldhart sees what Winter did. She cannot hurt the zombies, but she can help. She shoulders her bow and flutters from rooftop to overhead.
She expects Ann to come out the wall the same way she went in the wall. When she does, Baldhart will catch the enemy’s attention. Maybe he will look up and Ann will slam him!
Piotr concentrates on Anne's solidness, letting her set out of the room before doing so. Then his sister unleashes as flurry of dagger attacks.
... which without Hanako's magic song seem to barely scratch the zombie.
Kilarra lets her armour protect her while she slashes away with her greatsword.
Garrosh shifts position and shoots again.
Garrosh, trying not to hit Kilarra, sends the arrow too high, while Ann manages to nick the blue zombie with her spectral dagger.
The zombie next to Kilarra slashes at her with his longsword, which bounces off her armor while the zombie next to Ann drops his longbow then tries to clobber Ann with his fists, who she laughingly dodges out of the way.
Winter again tries to distract the zombie without success.
Baldhart flies over the roof, then lands on the stairs to distract the purple zombie while Ann attacks from flank position.
Another step to the side, and Garrosh lets fly around Kilarra again.
Kilarra hacks away at the blue zombie in front of her.
The brother and sister combine their attacks on the zombie between them. But not really well.
Garrosh manages to stick the blue zombie in the arm with his arrow, but the second one bounces off its leather armor. The zombie Kilarra hacks at ducks out of the way as Piotr and Ann also miss their strikes.
The zombie next to Kilarra tries to hack at her while the one next to Ann pounds her with his fists
Winter tries to distract the zombie next to Kilarra but he doesn't fall for it.
Kilarra changes tactics, opting for accuracy over raw power. Unfortunately, she's just too tired.
Baldhart continues to be good at distracting. This time she tries actually hitting the zombie though!
I am disappoint.
Baldhart flutters in place, hoping her ineffectiveness at least distracts enough so Ann can flank.
The last attacks were attempts to set up for this attack. Which is much better, though not powerful.
Unfortunately, Hanako can not heal Ann. She continues to hold her wand at the ready.
Piotr manages to slash into the chest of the blue zombie, but Ann's spectral daggers, without Hanako's magical help, do not do much to the zombie.
The blue zombie cuts Piotr with his longsword while the purple zombie pounds Ann.
Winter tries to distract the purple zombie over the railing.
Hanako heals Piotr and prepares to tap the wand again, should he or Kilarra get hurt.
Baldhart raises her sword overhead and CHOPS!
She’s pretty sure she did a very good thing and the zombie will be mad.
She rises five feet straight up to avoid consequence!
