Round 1______________________
Players take their turn in order of posting, enemies will go last.
"Incoming!" Ghirrak shouts, dashing forward to drive a flying knee into the chest of one of the oncoming undead creatures.
"Godsdamnit," Marius said with feeling, "If we can get the rod, I say we grab it, retreat and seal the door behind us."
Rather than immediately going on the offensive, he took a moment to conjure some mage armour. He sincerely doubted the undead would be amenable to reason. They tended to take a dim view of tomb robbers.
Bryson casts the spell Ball Lightning and hurls them at the closest undead.

Ghirrak presses the attack, though his powerful blows barely have any effect on the undead before him.
Burian whips his silvery locks at the legs of the mummy attacking Marius.. and attempts to upend it.
Although not debilitated by fear, Marius was definitely not comfortable having the mummy up in his face and ducked quickly back, punching out with his ring in an effort to knock the mummy back and open up a bit more space between them.

Sunny does her best to dent the undead. She pretty much just succeeds in bruising her knuckles, however. She frowns at the sturdy undead.
"Gon'a has ta do sumit other..." She mutters.
She tries to move, just enough to be able to et something out of her gear with out having the critter swing at her in return, but still able to help Burian.
The mummy didn't move away from the balls of electricity, so Bryson leaves them to hurt it.

Bryson resists the urge to transform into a bestial shape as he moves over to help Ghirrak. He jumps on top of a sarcophagus to strike at that mummy and focuses his rage into his strike.
Scimitar +1: destructive smite
Burian whips his hair about in a panicked flurry...
"Marius! Withdraw into the chamber! Get the rod!"
Ghirrak's arm comes up to block the powerful blow from the undead with a sound reminiscent of an axe hitting a tree trunk. Silently, he continues to hammer away at the resilient animated corpse.
Marius could definitely see the sense in that. He wasn't likely to come off well going toe to toe with a mummy. On the other hand, would Burian fare better?
"If you can get them to bunch up and create some space, I can fireball them," he suggested as he withdrew back towards the chamber, intent on finding the dratted rod. Having it in hand would at least give them the option of pushing through and retreating. He was also mindful that the three mummies they could see might not be all there were.

"Get to the chamber if you need to, Sunny.... Welt.. go."
"Nu-uh." Sunny replies defiantly, even as she frowns at the rather lackluster netting, "I is helpin'..." Though as the undead peoples starts to get up again her demeanour indicates that she's not so sure.
Burian strafes to get a better of view of Bryson and Ghirrak.
He grumbles to himself about the wet noodle level of efficacy his hair has had against the zombies as he slashes again.

For a brief moment, Marius considered trying to bash in the lid with his ring, but that would most likely damage the contents. Instead, he made use of a seldom called-upon spell to enhance his strength before turning his attention to lifting the lid.
