Sasha leaps forward to protect her friends and block the stairwell as she strips a good length from the zombie's arm, tearing it free from its body.

The skeletal champion draws it's longsword and advances on Natesh.

Longsword vs Natesh AC 16: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 Crit for 22 damage

Natesh is run through with the blade and nearly falls gasping to the floor. Looking up at Ralthiss he sees the necromancer smiling. "That is for the insult insolent whelp. But, don't worry, you will join my army." The skeleton raises it's shield defensively.

The trio of zombies move in around Sasha, biting and clawing at her.

Green Fist vs Sasha AC 17: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Blue Fist vs Sasha AC 17: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

The air begins to ripple around Ralthiss as a dark energy claws at the air around him. Cast Bane. Radius is currently 5 feet

Keep in mind that Leo, Malark and Variel are still upstairs searching, though you are now aware of the threat as Larraz has warned you. You are on the second floor on slide two.

Do we have any idea how long the other members of the party will be, rough estimate? Also, where will they arrive - from the same stairwell?

They are on the second floor, so it is just based on their movement speed is all. They can come down either stairwell.

Seeing his comrade impaled by the hellish warrior, Raini will cast healing magic on the severely wounded wizard.

Healing Spell on Natash: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

2 actions to cast Heal. Natesh gains HP back.

After Natesh is healed, Raini directs Sasha to attack and retreat.

Sasha attack Green zombie: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Slashing damage to Green zombie if hit: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 2) + 2 = 6

The panther then pulls back to a safer position to wait for healing.

Variel hears the call and immediately rushes downstairs. As he gets to the bottom, he assesses the current situation and decides to interfere with the robed man. With a spin and a graceful leap, he changes directions and reaches his target.
30' move, so by my count two Strides gets me next to Ralthiss.

"I wouldn't be so sure of yourself!"

Third action Flurry of Blows, taking -1 for the Bane effect.
Attack #1: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 7 - 1 = 24 damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Attack #2: 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 3 - 1 = 12 damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Keeping up with the damage, it looks like the Skeleton dropped me to from 15 HP to 0 HP with the 22 damage crit. The damage on the initiative tracker only shows the normal damage though. Is there something that would stop the crit that I'm missing? In either case Raini healed me bringing back to at least 12 HP.

His skin a touch paler from the sudden wound and sudden mending from Raini, Natesh gasps for air as he throws up a quick magical ward to block errant blows as he falls back, his mind searching for how to counter attack.

Cast shield, stand up, stride up stairs

Leo drops the book in his hands and runs toward and down the stairs, his armor clanking and his heavy steps making thunderous noise.

@Natesh- Apologies, it was not a crit. At first I thought your AC was 15 which was a crit, then double checked and it was 16 and I forgot to delete that line. So no need to stand up. You can redo your actions.

Variel rushes down the stairs two at a time and punches Ralthiss right in the gut. Leo drops the books in his hands and makes it to the hallway just in time to see Variel running down ahead of him.

Raini pours a bit of healing into Natesh, closing the sword injury before it grows worse. Sasha leaps on the zombie, her back legs kicking wildly as she shreds the bones apart.

"Desna's star! What is all that ruckus down there?" Malark runs towards his companions and is surprised to see they have company. "The undead have no place in this world. Tremble before the might of the pathfinders and be gone!" The bard's voice echoes through the halls as he seeks to inspire his comrades.

Inspire courage: +1 to attack and damage rolls as well as saves vs fear.

2 actions? to stride, 1 action to inspire courage. If it takes one action to stride to where the action is, Malark will use an action to draw his rapier.

If I do get my full turn, spend my turn to spend 1 action step to the right of violet zombie and two actions to cast burning hands on the two zombies.

Die rolls and Banter:
Staggering from the blade blow Natesh puts some distance between himself and the armed skeleton putting the remaining zombies at his back. "It is a necromancer who is bound to feel the searing power of Saerenrae's light!" He begins channeling power magic into his hands as he glances back toward the skeleton's blade as he adds to the allies above, "however we would appretaie quick aid to dispatch this undead."

Fire Damage: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (3, 2) + 1 = 6 DC 16 Basic Reflex

I assume that inspire courage applies to burning hands and included it in the damage. I can't see anything stating that spell damage would be excluded.

Kang grows increasingly alarmed at the undeads, especially when they come right up to him. "Oh dear, oh dear!"

Grasping an unassuming wooden ring on his right hand, he starts to chant, drawing forth its stored arcane energy. A rip in the space appears as a giant rat crawls out and immediately starts attacking the nearest undead.

Ah, thanks Natesh, Yes that would then put you @ 12 HP and Wounded 1 then.

Kang summons a large rat in Sasha's place as it nips a finger from the zombie's hand. Coming back to his senses Natesh throws a shield up over his body, rolls to his feet and clamors up the stairs. though not before the skeleton takes another stab at him.

Skeleton AoO vs Natesh AC 16: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 Crit damage is 18, this will put you at Dying 3

The skeleton's blade slits into Natesh's back, right through his lungs as he collapses back to the ground, gasping for breath. Malark comes down the opposite stairs nearest the necromancer and begins to inspire his companions with his voice. Larraz is nearly out of breath as he makes it down the stairs, He is doubled over and wide-eyed in fright.

Ralthiss rasps a curse as more Pathfinders come down the opposite stairwell. "Back to me." He commands and the skeleton comes to his aid.

Yellow Longsword vs Variel AC 19: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

It then raises it's shield back up to protect itself. The zombie's mindlessly claw at the large rat.

Blue Fist vs Rat AC 15: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 + Grab
Pink Fist vs Rat AC 15: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

One of the zombies grabs the rat, hefting it up as the pair crush it's body.

Ralthis shoves Variel away, retreating in between his skeleton and Variel to let his undead protect him as he concentrates on expanding out the dark energy. Expand Bane out to 10 feet. As his hand touches Variel a dark power courses through his body.

Touch of Undeath Negative Energy Damage (Variel): 1d6 ⇒ 6 DC 20 Fort save for half. Damage has not been calculated below.

"Nice work Zhao! That rat bought us the time we needed to turn the tide!" offers Raini to the wizard.

As he sees the newly healed Natesh get struck down, the druid's heart sinks. "NOOOOO!" shouts the gnome as he glares at the evil necromancer. But first, that menacing skeleton.

Touching Sasha, Raini pours forth a focus spell of nature, healing the animal as best as he can for now.

Heal Animal Focus Spell, 2 actions: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Once the healing energy subsides, Raini unleashes Sasha on the skeleton to aid Variel. Sasha strides to flank the enemy and bites.

Attack skeleton, flat-footed: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Piercing damage, if it hits: 2d6 + 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 5) + (1) + 2 = 12

Malark strides towards the center of the room and starts waving his hands to cast a spell. "Excuse me Rasha, could you move over to the side? You might want to close your eyes."

Swirls of colors start flowing from the bard's hands and envelopes Ralthiss and his skeletal companion.

Leo draws his sword as he c-thunks down the stairs with every step. He ends standing over Natesh's body and swings at the nearby undead.

"Really, Raini? I don't think that went very well..."

But even as he whines, he waves his hands in the air as if throwing something at the feet of the zombies, and yells "ග්‍රීස්!"

A patch of grease appears at the feet of the nearby zombies.
(Ref or Acrobatics vs DC17 or fall prone.)

He then pulls out a vial, ready to feed its contents to Natesh. "Hang in there!" (minor elixir of life)

Kang releases a small bit of grease underneath the zombie's feet.

Blue Reflex DC 17: 1d20 ⇒ 5
Pink Reflex DC 17: 1d20 ⇒ 14

Both zombies slip, slide and fall down as the sound of wet, rotten meat strikes the floor. Natesh continues to gurgle but sounds like he is getting a little better as Kang draws out a potion to help him out. That takes you to Dying 2.

Leo slashes his longsword across the undead zombie, it seems to be very effective. Colors swirl and splash out in the middle of the room.

Skeleton DC 17: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Ralthiss DC 17: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

The slightly less mindless than your average skeleton shakes as it seems stunned. Ralthiss seems completely unaffected by the color burst.

With Sasha's wounds healed she leaps past the grease and nips at the skeleton. The large cat bounces off of the raised shield as it misses the skeleton.

Sorry but Kang hasn't fed Natesh the elixir yet. He used 2 actions to cast the grease (to slow them down), and 1 action to pull out the elixir. He can only feed Natesh the next round.

I don't believe that is the case Zhao. The narrative shows your elixir is pending, not completed. The wording reveals Natesh has stabilized but not been healed yet. At least that is how I read it. :D

Zhao: Don't forget that in 2e there are no negative hit points - no matter how much damage you take, you stop at 0 and gain the dying condition.

Variel sees a temporary advantage on the skeleton and attacks.
Flurry of Blows, Strike, Strike. +1 attack and damage from Inspire Courage vs flat-footed AC from flanking with Sasha.

Attack #1 (Flurry): 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 1 = 24 damage: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 = 6

That is correct, the potion has not been fed to Natesh yet. Natesh rolled high enough to take his Dying condition from Dying 3 to Dying 2.

Variel's fist cracks into the skeleton's shield as it cracks the outer later, breaking one of the skeleton's fingers. Shield block

Larraz raises his hand as a lance of positive energy strikes into the skeleton's backside.

Disrupt Undead Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

The beam lances right into the skeleton, burning the bones. The skeleton strikes out at the space that Variel was last at.

Blinded flat check DC 11: 1d20 ⇒ 7

The stunned skeleton staggers about before raising it's shield. The zombies rise from the floor and slowly move through the grease.

Ralthiss continues to extend out his dark magic as it's weight is felt about the room. Bane is now out 15 feet. Pointing a finger Ralthiss sends a lance of concentrated evil energy at Sasha.

Raini is getting fed up with the necromancer's disdain for the living.

"You will rue the day you assaulted us coward!" shouts the gnome as he hurls a spell at the enemy spellcaster and directs Sasha to maul the skeleton.

Electric Arc. Targets are necromancer and skeleton..2 actions for spell and another 1 action to Command Animal Companion.

Thanks for the clarification re healing. I misread "Kang draws out a potion to help him out. That takes you to Dying 2."

Kang looks at the elixir in hand even as Malark heals Natesh. Oh well, someone might need it later.

Rather than stow it away, it steps behind Raini and following his lead, summons an arc of electricity that courses between the two zombies.

Leo swings twice at the zombies with practiced efficiency. Afterward he raises an arm, as if it held a shield. He then speaks a word and a swirling circle of magic sits as a shield on his arm.

Skeleton Reflex DC 18: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Only a single zombie makes it out unscathed as another bursts into flames from the amount of current running through it's body. Leo swiftly hacks his way through the remaining zombie, ending the undead menace.

Malark pours a bit of positive energy back into Natesh to help keep the man alive. Sasha leaps at the skeletal champion, her back legs dig deep into the ribcage and split the skeleton apart, flinging bones all over the room.

Gaping with love again Natesh touches where the first blade struck and to where the second blow landed. Clamoring to his feet he pushes himself across the room while he appraises the situation while drawing crossbow to hand.

Hearing the lingering tones of magic, and setting the elixir in Kang's hand he turns to Malark, Kang, and Raini while forcing out thanks in between choking coughs.

Variel smiles as Sasha destroys the skeleton, then turns to the necromancer. Changing his stance into a crouch and holding his fingers like claws, he imitates Sashas movements as he comes around to attack.

Variel feels the dark magic push back against him as his clawed hands are stopped inches from reaching the necromancer. Natesh chokes and coughs as he stands once more, drawing his crossbow. Larraz helps heal Variel's wounds. "It'll be alright."

Heal (Variel): 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Ralthiss reaches out and touches his hand into Variel's chest.

Variel's life is sapped from his body as it seems to heal the necromancer, further empowering the overwhelming dark power. Bane now out 20 feet

"Necromancy is not inherently evil. It is how you use it," Leo says, as if reciting something, as he hefts his sword into a throw. It flies from his hand toward Ralthless as if shot from a bow.

Hand of the Apprentice: 1d20 + 9 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 9 - 1 = 23
P: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

As his sword flies, Leo begins rushing toward the necromancer. After skewering the necromancer the sword withdraws straight to Leo's outstretched hand. He catches it and immediately swing it in an arc, toward the necromancer once more.

Focusing his magic to take a glance at the future calms Natesh as he grasps the situation around him. "If allowed, in my humble opinion, from the both his intent and how many of animated bodies he has remaining, I would argue his use malicious and ineffective." He winces as his side aches from the lingering pain he tries to ignore as he lines up his crossbow to get a clear shot on the necromancer.

Attacking Ralthiss, True Strike to roll attack roll twice and use higher result. Bane penalty included.
Crossbow Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 5 - 1 = 16

Seeing the various undeads go down, Kang breathes a sigh of relief. He runs back down the stairs while keeping his distance. Hmm, need to dismiss that patch of grease. It's more of a hindrance now. But I've got something more important to do first!

Again, another arc of electric appears, this time leaping directly to the necromancer.

Raini uses the opportunity and spacing left by Variel to position Sasha to continue pressing the necromancer. The panther moves to flank the enemy with Leo, striking with tooth and claw.

Kang arcs a bit of electricity into the necromancer.

Reflex DC 17: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

The shock seems to absorb into the holy symbol dangling from his neck. "That tickled." He gloats as the hairs on his arms stand on end. Variel leaps back and drinks a potion, stemming the tide of his bleeding.

Natesh calms his nerves, lines up a shot and plunks a bolt into Ralthiss' hip. Leo hefts his sword, holding it level and magicallys propels it forward and through the necromacer's chest. Ralthiss gasps as his eyes go wide, clawing futily at the hilt of the sword with bloodied hands.

Sasha dives in, toppling Ralthiss to the ground as she claws and chews on his face. After a moment the necromancer stops moving and the large cat emerges with a bloody muzzle. The undead menace is gone for now but there is still the threat of the massive forces moving in around you.

Malark sheathes his rapier and lets out a sigh of relief. "I'm glad we've handled this incident without casualties. I'm afraid I'm out of healing spells."

He turns to Larraz. "Are you alright? That was quite impressive back there. You think you still have some spells for the injured?"

Raini looks to his team and bends over to catch his breath.

"That was entirely too close for comfort."

The druid looks over everyone and prioritizes injuries. Seeing Variel is in the greatest need, the gnome pulls out his two Pathfinder scrolls he received from training.

"This is the last of my healing spells. It will have to do. We can't wait another minute longer."

Raini focuses the healing efforts on the first scroll to Variel. 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10. Uses 2-action heal spell to get bonus.

Seeing there are a few other wounded, such as Natesh, Raini elects to spread the healing around to all.

1d8 ⇒ 7 Uses 3-action heal spell for 30 foot burst to get everyone included.

"I'm afraid that's it. We must be going. Let's get what we have, grab Desert Wind, and make haste!" offers the druid.

Kang pulls out another vial from his bandolier. "If anyone else is still wounded, I've got some healing elixirs here. But please, yes let's make haste!"

He does however make a quick search of the necromancer's body, looking particularly for some book or collection of scrolls. Spells are, after all, the weapons of wizards.

Variel looks around and asks, "Did we manage to check every room before the attack? I'd hate to think we left anything behind."

"It may very well be that we didn't check every room. Do we really want to take another pass at splitting up and investigating? Do you think we have the time to spare? I'll only do it if everyone else agrees. I'd hate to have to fight my way out of town considering what's on its way is likely WAY tougher than what we just fought." offers the tiny gnome as he strokes his animal companion's fur.

"What say ye?" asks Raini to the rest of the group.
