Teja, feeling the pain of her wounds now she has had a few seconds for the shock to set in grunts in agony. Then, with a zombie-golem in front of her, does her best to stick it with her rapier.
"Just drop will you."
Strike (◆, attack)
Wincing in pain, she tries a second quick strike, hoping to finish off the yellow creature.
Strike (◆, attack)
She then stows her dagger for a moment.
◆,interact.
Frogger draws his spear and gloats while Teja resumes fencing after testing out her dagger - but struggles to warm up a bit...
...And what was that other sound?
The guards outside (and around the corner, presumably still) have stopped talking...
...not only that, did one of them just say "Maybe we should go check it out?"...

In a F2F/VTT game, there'd probably be a lower limit to what I'd Block (I'd probably rather save my reaction than block a 1 hp hit), but that's probably too complicated to describe in PbP, and it's more of a qualitative thing than a quantitative thing.
---
"Much obliged! Valeros says, as loud as a whisper can get.
Valeros continues bashing the constructs. He will Double Slash Yellow ...
If Yellow is still up, he'll stand and Raise Shield. If Yellow is down, he'll move 3W, 1N (and Shield Block with Reactive Shield).
Zallara's frost ray veers wide, as Worker Two absorbs Val's brutal assault and remains standing...

Fangor explains what he knows about the creatures.
These are Flesh Golem! Mindless constructs, with total immunity to magic, barring a few exceptions, Fire - This deals 2d6 to the creature as a replacement effect!, Electricity - This heals the creature for half the damage it would have dealt! and Cold - This Slows the golem for 2d6 rounds as a replacement effect!
Realizing the guard are ready to come he says!
Then focus his attention on the creature and calls for Razmir's Holy Fire to burn the one standing.
May Rawmir's Holy Fire burn you!
Fangor singes the Worker closest him, then ventriloquistically "meows" like a cat so convincingly,
...He has, unfortunately, drawn the attention of the very Worker he burnt - leathered limbs smoldering the toughened skin into burnt boils - slamming against him!

Frogger, feeling vulnerable, will scream out in pain. "AHHHHHH!"
"Join me everyone, it's cathartic."
"AHHHHHH!"
◆◆ Cast Heal on self
◆ Step back
...Cautiously, Frogger backs away and tends his wounds with magic...
Then, , the "zombie" lumbers after Frogger, Slamming with dreadful force!

Valeros, annoyed that the construct doesn't consider himself enough of a threat to attack, renews his fury.
If that drops Yellow, Valeros will move to the other one. If not, Valeros will raise his shield and say, "Over here, buddy."
Zallara pops a cork and kneels to spare Frogger's life , then draws her spear... Valeros clobbers then Teja finishes off Worker Two...
I think you are mixing your editions - characters do not add +2 for Flanking - instead they simply target Flat-footed AC - and I am handling that on my end.
I will ask you stop adding the +2 please!
(But, the "against Flat-footed" is a helpful labeling reminder!)
Fangor finally shifts from his position!
But instead of retaliating, Worker Seven - the last remaining - strides towards the crate, running into Valeros instead.
...
The guards outside can be heard approaching, talking as they do...
"Did you make a mess in the Warehouse kitty?"... one of them addresses the feral cat. The other "Looks like you found some food in there, no?"...
You also realize they will likely be within view of the door sometime on Round Seven or Eight!

Teja springs down to the floor, moving behind the last of the zomie-structs. Then, with deliberate malice, she tries plunging her rapier into the back of it.
"Not that I suppose you feel pain. But I do."
She looks with horror as her rapier flies from her hand, landing on the floor.
"This is why I prefer books."
(◆) Stride (move blue)
(◆)Strike (Attack with rapier)
You do not drop your Rapier.
An example of when this might matter is a Swashbuckler Reaction which triggers on a critical fail to Strike.
But that is not happening here!
Valeros doesn't have much else he can do. Double Slice, Raise Shield.
vs flanking
vs flanking
Valeros continues to slash and bash, Teja to stab, but the construct remains standing!

"Oh, you guys can take care of this, let's see how dumb some guards are.." She says low enough not to be heard outside the building.
She steps just outside the building and looks at the cat, slowing her speech and slurring slightly and slouching to appropriate her Dolar personality.. "Yes, kitty. A mess indeed..." She looks at the guards as if seeing them for the first time, Oh, hello. Kitty made a mess. Zombies made it worse. Cleaning up now, guts everywhere, gross. I wouldn't go in there. I don't think i'm going back in there. Names Dolar, apprentice Necromancer..."

Frogger stands up and looks around. "Thanks again. I think I need to invest some better armor.". He pounds his chest.
◆ Stand up
◆◆ Cast Ray of Frost vs Worker Seven.
Frogger yelps out, still in a daze. He can't seem to focus on the target.
"Hey, Mr. Valeros. Do you want to become large? Or you Teja?"
...Frogger misses a bolt, while inspiredly, Zallarra stumbles outside acting foolish!...
"No, thank you. I fear that we may have to ... exit in a hurry, and I'm pretty sure that I can take care of the remaining fellow here while medium-sized."
...And just like that, Fangor dispatches the final Worker...
...Between Zallarra outside throwing the guards off the party's trail, and Fangor's convincing cat noises, everyone has one or two rounds to act out of their notice without having to roll dice!...
One guard goes to pet the cat, but when it hisses at him, he withdraws his hand.
"Dolar, huh?" the second guard gives the first a look "Do you have the ledger?" then looks back at Zallarra / Doler "You saying a cat made all that sound?" the other stands now "And what's this about zombies? You mean the workers, right?"
Valeros will begin loading the bodies into empty crates, and encourage someone to look in the special crate.

Zallarra raises her voice slightly so the rest of the group can hear her. She rolls her eyes exaggeratedly. "Of course the cat did not make all that noise. We've had a little worker.... malfunction. Would you guys like to grab a bucket and mop and join the cleanup? Hey, i'm just on worker check duty here."
"Why don't you, Valeros?"
Valeros will look inside the crate while someone else cleans up the bodies.
...Everyone stands around Fangor as he inspects the crate for traps!... Declaring no such mechanisms, the crate can easily be opened - indeed it is not locked...
...
...
Fangor @ Inspecting Crate for Traps!
Frogger @ Opens Crate (after Fangor Inspects)!
Teja @ Opens Crate (after Fangor Inspects)!

Zallarra raises her voice slightly so the rest of the group can hear her. She rolls her eyes exaggeratedly. "Of course the cat did not make all that noise. We've had a little worker.... malfunction. Would you guys like to grab a bucket and mop and join the cleanup? Hey, i'm just on worker check duty here."
Both look at eachother - Zallarra can sense a little "pulling rank" happening unspoken - after a beat, the halfling guard fetches a bucket and mop - which takes another round! - while the human remains to continue questioning "Doler":
"Here is my identification" he moves his shoulder to display a badge reading "Guard One" then says "Never met a Necromancer in person - I don't know if you noticed my friend here..."
What could he be talking about?
|
|
Zallarra looks at the retreating halfling, "Ah. A Dhampir. Rare. Never seen one so... short. You know, he didn't actually have to get a mop and bucket to help. I was joking about that. I hear I need to work on my sense of humor. Most beings I am around day to day don't really have one themselves..."
"Oh you mean Yeah rare I guess. I'm surprised a Necromancer such as yourself hasn't seen more - Oh I get it - you're not from Geb, that's it! Well, I've never met a foreign Necromancer - guess that makes you somewhat rare too - and short as well!" the human man's face suddenly turns when he realizes he may have offended "Doler" and he quickly moves to apologize "I uh, didn't mean it like that your Honor. Name's , that's me. Just doing my job here, keeping the vagrants out. You understand. She should be back any minute now - prolly getting the mop from the other Warehouse here..."
...Meanwhile, the "insiders" of the party decide how to spend the last few precious moments "inside" of the "distraction" Zallarra has "bought" them...
...as the Cat comes circling back around the other side of the warehouse - did it come in another door!?...
...to Fangor: - has it finally figured you out?
Wild Empathy to... do what?
Can you provide the link too?
Cat leaves... returns to join Kallarra and the Guard...
Valeros nods.
