He whispers in frustration, "You would rather fight them in the open?! Like what in a large banquet hall?! It looks like we have tunnels and small rooms, the biggest open area would likely be back from where we came from. Screw it do as you wish. He leaves in a huff as quietly as possible. At the end of the hall he looks around on the elevator for a mop or a broom.
She shrugs and follows Thorn.
"Not a bad plan Thorn. We should give it a go. If nothing comes then we only waste a bit of time. If nothing comes we will need to sweep through like we would clearing a dungeon. Let's form lines and call out or did you have a plan to try and summon them?"
He looks to Kaelen
"Fighting an unknown amount of enemy in the open is foolish. We are not here to fight for honor or to be heroes. These are undead abomination that plague the world, we hare here to save the world or what is left of it from that fate. The last the enemy engaged us on the open field did not turn out so well or have you forgotten already?"
"No, we're doing Thorn's plan, I was just saying that fighting in the open would better match my fighting style." Kealen says with a grimace, and follows Thorn.
"Lots of riding around on a Lion isn't suited to corridors," Azana agreed. The lower ceilings made it hard for her to float out of range too. Still, she could still lurk somewhere out of sight and blast as she needed.
Rex looks around the area, hmmm, which way was that room... Rex seems a little lost.
wait its gotta be this way. Rex says as he heads toward Thorn.
"The floor is too slick with blood to be a good place to fight," He announces as he brings a mop and begins to clean.
In 10 minutes or less with everyone helping one way or another you can clear a 20 foot by 10 foot section of the hallway of blood and bodies.
Now that is done what do you do?
Thorn takes his place at the front of the group with towersheild before him and his longsword in his other hand.
After helping clean up the bloody mess she collects her scythe and stands behind Thorn ready to help out as needed.
Titus walks up beside Thorn.
"So now what? We just yell out a bunch?"
He shifts to his hybrid form and lets out a roar.
"How's that?"
Kealen begins to yell, and clang together his armor and equipment.
Azana lowered her pistol. "Sure, that's a good noise." She paused. "We did open the doors in those corridors, right?"
Rex seems a bin indecisive as to which direction to go. he starts down one corridor then back to the other. then Once the roar comes echoing around the room.
Oh crap, that is not helping. he mutters and looks for a place to hide.
"It'll help bring all the zombies," Azana said cheerfully, "Unless all the doors are locked."
"That should do it..." he states and waits.
Soon enough the first ones arrive, slowly coming around the corners you see zombies walking in heavy suits of black material and helmets.
Though After seeing three of those trundle forward zombies in long white coats follow, the coats are covered in blood. Then you hear barking and fast undead canines rush between the gathering horde and get out in front to be the first ones upon Titus and Thorn. Thorn's armor takes the bite but not a grip for the dog to trip you. Titus dodges the dog's bite.
"That armour is going to be tough to get through," Azana called to the others, "It's pretty much the best you can get in this world." She focused, trying to discover the secret of these infected - were they still alive, or undead?
"Zombie dogs. I have not heard of such madness. Elise stay back."
Round 1
Elise "If they are armored I can still damage them easy enough and I can stay back. Fire in the hole!" She shouts as she throws a bomb at the riot gear suited zombies.
All others within 5 feet save vs DC 14 or take 6 or 3 fire.
Titus steps into the stance of the Dragon and tries to tear the dog abominations asunder.
On dog 1

Round 2
Elise "If one is good two is better."
She hurls another bomb.
Same as first assuming he is still standing.
All within 5' take 6 or 3 DC 14 reflex save.
On dog 1

Attacking One of the Fresher ones. Not the one that has taken 2 direct bomb hits.
Titus takes down the two dogs with ease then charges forward taking down a riot zombie, Elize has hurt one with her bombs, singing the others. Thorn holds his position knowing he has good footing here.
The riot zombies and lab coat zombies attempt to hurt titus with their slams but he evades their slams, clawing hands, and biting jaws.
Round 3
more riot zombies come around the corners.
Well, if they were dead, most likely, there wasn't much to be done. Azana took a breath, and began to pound the enemy with fire.
She moved as best she could, gloating a little above the ground as she moved from one spot to another to catch as big a group of the enemies as she could. And each time she took the power of the Leylines into her, dumping the remnants into the nearest zombie.
Rex stays hidden, he put his hand to his dome head, don't let them find me, don't let them find me...
when the second bomb goes off, he peeks out to see, is it safe yet? but seeing more zombies, nope and he ducks back into hiding.
Round 3
Against One of the damaged Riot Zombies, but not the one that took the 2 direct hits
Claws at the Riot Zombie that took the bombs. If first claw hits, second will go on a lab coat zombie.
Elize waits not wanting to do any fire damage to Titus.
After Titus finished attacking only two lab coats remian as two riot zombies move toward you. The flailing claws gain no purchase on Titus. With her flames she makes sure they won't get up again and damaging those behind.
Round 4
Round 4
On a new Riot Gear one.
On second riot gear one
On second riot gear one
Shaking the last of the fire from her fingers and feeling the strength she'd drawn from the leylines - what she'd managed to pull - Azana breathed out for a moment, then tried shooting a wounded zombie with her pistol.
Round 2 -4
He curses under his breath and begins moving forward, step by agonizing step to catch up to Titus who went forward rather than back. He gets up to the zombie in his way and swings.
He slices into one of the lab coats dropping it after Elise and Azana weakened it.
Azana hits with her pistol and the shots sound reverberates through the tunnel. The riot zombie and labcoat zombie are both hurt and swing at Titus. The labcoat just flails at Titus as the riot actually hit him.
Round 5=Kill em Titus!
Titus instinctively pulls away from the pain of the bite, but quickly realizes he doesn't feel pain the same in this new undead body. Soon as the Zombie pulls away the bite starts to heal.
A blessing and a curse this is He thinks as he moves to destroy the last two.
Round 5
On Riot Zomibe
Claws directed to Labcoat zombie
Titus finishes the last 2 in the hall. He turns to the others.
"Be on guard the sound of combat may attract others."
"Then we'll give it a minute before we start exploring," Azana suggested as she loaded a fresh round into her pistol.
Soon enough, several rounds later you can hear the horde of rushing bodies with the groans of the undead.
I collect the bodies and make a few makeshift barriers with them piling them ontop of each other for the coming undead to stumble on them. Then moving back I stand at the edge of our clean area again, then look to Titus asking, "Should we start further back this time?"
She looks around to see if she needs to do anything and then waits again leaning against the wall.
Humming softly to herself, Azana use the door frame to string some rope at ankle height. The zombies should just pile into and trip - at least until it got torn down by them tugging at it. By then it should have a suitable choke point with the first bunch, though, and the zombies would be vulnerable.
It was easy, so long as she didn't remember these used to be people.
Titus quickly helps Thorn stack the bodies.
"No this will work stay behind the bodies and slay them as they stumble climbing over them. Good thinking Thorn. Elize my love focus some bombs behind the bodies on the mob as they come. I love you."
He nods to Thorn as they prepare for what is coming.
Rex emerges from his hiding spot.
we can't just sit around here, we need to activate the Alice unit before its to late. this infestation is worse than I thought. I am sure it won't be long before they figure out how to shut the power off, or worse they destroy Alice.
He looks down all the hallways trying to guess which direction is the correct path
Azana barely gets done when she sees the first of the zombies clambering over each other to get to you! Though with your hovering and flying you are not hampered at all, let alone the trap you set. Soon they are falling and charging forward.
As the man clad in armor waits for the onslaught beside the vampire.
No more riot zombies but a mass of flesh comes forth as they charge towards you... these seem to be raging fast zombies. As they come you also hear wailing screams, perhaps something that is making them rage?
Round 1
The zombies fall upon each other and the bodies before them. Not many of them are standing any more nor do any of them actually get to you in this first round.
Azana considered the situation. It seemed like the best idea here would be, well, fire.
So she did. Her tattoos glowed once more.
"Here they come. Steel yourselves."
Round 1
Elize lets loose a bomb as the zombies start pouring in she will throw and hit one in the second rank.
The 5 surrounding take 6 or 3 DC 14 reflex save.
Titus then unleashes his attacks at any that make it over the bodies to them.
Round #1
Kealen has done the same as Titus, preparing for them to come over the top.
Thorn takes a step back so Kaelen is standing next to Titus.
"Hey little metal thing, we aren't doing nothing. We are drawing the infestation out so we can excise it. As some of us are holding back until we are needed. Do you have a name?" she states and then asks.
Azana optimizes her burning hands spell as she gets the front portion. The zombies continue to stumble but those in front
Claw for Azana and Titus.
Round 2
Kaelen steps up and hits one as Titus takes one down.
Round 2
"Elize hold your bombs and flask. I can take these down easily enough. Kaelen what are you doing? I thought Thorn was up here. Azana get back. Let Thorn up to plug the hole as I rip them apart. We have no cleric to heal your wounds so it is best to not put yourself at risk when you don't have to."
Azana staggered as the first claw struck. Then the second blow landed, killing her instantly. She didn't even have have time to scream.
Round 2
Seeing Azana drop she then channels hoping to heal the woman and any living creatures within 30 feet.
Round 3
She moves forward to heal Azana with a cure light, and offers her hand to help her up.
Round 2
He bull rushes forward aiming to knock the undead back so he can stand above Azana.
But fails taking AoO before being shunted back. Both claws just hitting his shield.
Round 3
He bull rushes forward again, aiming to knock the undead back so he can stand above Azana.
This time he succeeds as both claws just hit his shield.
Round 2
Titus slaughters the zombie standing before him. Jelissa channels rescuing Azana from death.
Round 3
Titus slaughters the next zombie standing before him. As Thorn charges forward knocking the zombies back. Jelissa then follows Thorn to heal and pick up Azana.
