Stratton touches the crystal to Alia's head and feels an inspiring connection form between the two of them. They feel each others' determination to see this through.

Choosing option 3.

Round 7
The graveknight raises his hands and drops them again, from the ground and his armor acid explodes in a 60 foot burst.6d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 5, 5, 3, 2) = 21 acid, Reflex DC 22... Angelica fails again...

Round 8

He strikes with a manuever allowing Mia to take an AoO on it. He strikes the knight once bashing through armor.

Adamantine +2 keen falchion, PA: 1d20 + 17 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 17 + 2 = 33
damage: 2d4 + 18 + 2d6 ⇒ (4, 2) + 18 + (3, 4) = 31 15-20

Additional modifiers: Stance +1d6, Deliquescent Gloves +1d6 acid damage

Then he moves to the South, taunting the graveknight, "Come and get me then you stinking undead!"

Acrobatics for the first 5 feet: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

Now he is 40 feet away should the graveknight miss.

Round 8

As Matthew fails to tumble away safely the graveknight's longsword comes down at him but barely misses.

attack: 1d20 + 16 - 3 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (19) + 16 - 3 + 1 - 5 = 28
longsword damage: 1d8 + 14 + 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 14 + (2, 1) + 9 = 34 extra d6 are acid.

The graveknight seems to explode, it's ruined armor dropping to the ground with it's longsword, and a gauntlet. They are all pitted with acid.

175-105-31-33-27+30= -1

I did the blast but apparently that is a cone, it's devastation channel does 2d6 damage. So only take the first two d6's for that damage. Combat over unless someone wants to attack something else.

Round 8

Active spells: shield, mage armor.

She continues her attack upon the dark knight trying to get to a flanking spot.

MC Falchion: 1d20 + 9 + 10 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 10 - 1 + 2 = 35

AC 20, with shield AC 24, Deflection bonus vs. knight +10: AC 34

Damage done to Graveknight: 70+17+18=105 with no DR=smite evil!

Mia quickly runs over to Zaidel's side, putting a lay on hands charge without checking his vitals. Then she takes the time to check, and sure enough he is dead. Though she feels the amulet warming up and sees it starting to glow.

Round 8

After the graveknight explodes and at the end of the round she begins to move, clutching what was left of her bow. With the two rounds of destructive channel she and her gear take 14 acid damage. Her armor, weapon and gear need mending.

---
After the healing she thanks Matthew, and looks at her gear. She does try to cover up but asks the group, "Does anyone have mending?"

Round 8

As Matthew fails to tumble away safely the graveknight's longsword comes down at him but barely misses.

As the graveknight is destroyed and appears to explode, those within 5 feet of him take, 6d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 6, 6, 3, 5) = 30 acid damage, Reflex DC 22 for half. This includes Mia, Jean, and Alexandr.

Unless you wanted to take a different action?

Round 9
Matthew runs over to Angelica and checks in on her. Seeing her and others hurt he channels once, 1d6 ⇒ 3.

He looks towards the two who had stayed behind to fight the graveknight with appreciation, then he asks, "Alexander, Jean, what should we do about the last undead... uh... I mean toddler that eats flesh? Oh! Wait we have company!"

Picking up his greatsword he changes his stance. Valiant Keeper’s Stance: Allies do not provoke attacks of opportunity when moving through squares you threaten. Then he moves ahead of Mia to take the brunt of the attacks.

Round 9

She grabs an arrow and tries her bow, the string snaps and the arrow drops to the ground, she curses in abyssal and a magical arrow of fire shoots as if out of her bow. She is aiming at the undead that already got hit by Jean's breath weapon.

Eldritch Blast: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29
Eldritch Blast damage: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 6) = 16

Round 10

He double moves past Jean to the choke point and gets ready to fend off the horde. "I will hold them off go, get my children to safety! I will catch up."

Round 11-20

He cleaves the target before him and the zombie behind. Then readies for the next undead to come...

Round 10

She sheaths her falchion and finishes to check if Zaidel is alive and a tear drops from her face. She picks him up in her arms.

Round 11

She walks over to Alexander and offers Zaidel's body to Angelica as she says, "I will do what I can please take Zaidel."

Without a word spoken she touches Alexander and heals him. 2d6 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6

Round 11

She goes to check on Alexander as she looks for any healing she might have. She prays to Cayden, and calls out, "Cayden Cailean protect your Chosen and Familia. This giant could use some healing, Mia?!"

heal Looking for signs of life: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Taking Zaidel from Mia, she struggles with the body.

Shaking, from fatigue, the no longer enlarged Russian.
Safety? where? I am somewhat shell shocked but can carry others, lead the way.

10 HP, fatigued for 14, current strength 18

Round 12

She calls upon her god to heal Alexander more, "Cayden Cailean heal my ally, cure moderate wounds."

2d8 + 5 ⇒ (3, 1) + 5 = 9

She then nods and waves at Alexander to follow, "If there is a threat I will take care of it, please carry Zaidel." She then moves south to go the alley Matthew came from.

End of combat

Mia, Angelica, and Alexander go to the alley where Matthew came from. Mia calls out for Alia and Stratton.

Once Jean follows the group, Matthew would follow too. Looking for ways to slow down the threat.

The glow on Zaidel's chest is visible to each of you now.

Seeing the others get to alley he quickly returns stating, "Yes down the alley, when you find another square you should find my family there. They may have taken shelter."

Alexandr does as told, picking up Zaydel.

Jean moves over and sniffs at the Zaidel and then turns to look for the child. If the child is in sight he moves towards him and calls out, "Hello, can you understand me?"

The toddler turns around and is covered in blood and gore. It toddles forward and falls, to continue crawling towards Jean.

Jean watches it and waits to see if it attacks him.

The toddler comes up to Jean and rests its head on your scales, it looks up at you with piercing blue eyes. It does not attack you.

A few undead head your way, but before they do Matthew is there bashing heads and keeping you covered.

---
Jean likely takes the toddler into his hands and holds it, bringing it back with him. Do you attempt to clean the blood from it?

The group swiftly finds Stratton and Alia. With not much else to do you set out towards the West looking for a river. Jean and Matthew eventually catch up. A few more undead appear in your path, who does what? Have fun as you take them down.

Eventually about 10 minutes later, Zaidel lifts from Alexander's arms and the glowing burst envelops him. Zaidel is ressurected.

Another 10 minutes and you find your way to the desolate river. It is a pitiful thing similar to the city. The water is low, the banks are steep and there is very little healthy vegetation in sight.

Eventually about 10 minutes later, Zaidel lifts from Alexander's arms and the glowing burst envelops him. Zaidel is ressurrected.

Had to look up the resurrection spell and see how to properly RP this experience.

Another 10 minutes and you find your way to the desolate river. It is a pitiful thing similar to the city. The water is low, the banks are steep and there is very little healthy vegetation in sight.

Survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18Knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (10) + 17 = 27

Alia takes a moment to slip down the bank and walks up to the water she steps in and stretches out a hand. "It would be better with a boat or some kind of vessel. It doesn't feel like the current is too strong. What spells and abilities do we have that could aid us in crossing besides swimming?"

After thinking a bit she offers, "If given the time I could prepare Flotsam Vessel and some other spells that would be helpful for the swim but I only have one Touch of the Sea."

"We still have a few flyers", Zaidel explained, "people who can fly and carry people over."

"I think we should continue to put distant between us and the necropolis, and hope for a swallower place to cross downriver."

She looks at the river with dread, she couldn't even see the other side.

He catches up to the group and looks at the scene. He pulls out an extra length of rope and secures it around his waist and to his gear. "I will swim out and see how bad the current can be. Then we will decide how to venture forward." Unless someone objects he slowly walks forward, jumping down the bank and walks up to Alia. He takes her hand and kisses the back of it before walking forward.

Nodding to Zaidel he then says, "Down river? To the South then. Jean you are our swiftest flyer correct? Would you go see if you can find a ford. Who else can fly?"

"I can, but only for 5 minutes at a time, five times a day", the cleric offered.

The satyr helps to anchor the warden as Matthew checks the river's strength.

Jean would bring the toddler along and clean him up if there was water.

"Sure, watch the kid. I think he is something special since the other undead were after him." Jean will take off to go scout.

Does it speak?

I am big, heavy, out of my league and fatigued. I can carry someone, and still run, but I am outclassed here the big russian says.

No the toddler does not speak. It seems to be just a baby. Until it gets close to flesh and then its mouth widens and it gorges itself on the flesh.

She walks over to Alexander and puts a hand on his shoulder, she comforts him saying, "Rest now. We will watch for you. We will need to wait for Matthew and Jean to return either way."

Jean returns after only a few minutes and says, "There is a broken bridge not far to the south. If we could get across the bridge it would make it hard for the dead to chase us, but I am not sure how easy it would be for everyone to get across."

About another minute or two pass before he swims back to the group. As he leaves the water and as he takes off the rope, he says, "The channel is swift but most of us should be able to swim. Though the distance would be challenging. A bridge, excellent! Shall we head to it then?"

The group heads South to the bridge. A few undead pop up from the surrounding buildings and are easily dispatched. As the group gets to the bridge bones shoot from the ground making cages around each of you.
Reflex DC 18 to avoid being caught.
Bones AC 20, DR 5/Bludgeon, HP 30

Then he moves 50 feet to the other side of the cages and the closest threats.

Round 1

She jumps to the side to avoid being caught. Then she releases a blast at the closest skeletal creature. Then if it is safe she moves towards the bridge.

Back with Alia and the children, he helps get them to a safer area.

Knowledge (Martial) to find a safe spot with the possibility to view the battle and help if needed. 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22

Quietly he says to Alia "Do you think you want to chance getting them to the other side of the bridge? I could fly one at a time, maybe. I'm still not all that strong from the transfer. Or better to wait here?"

Jean I am assuming you are flying, move your avatar to whereever you want to start.

The skeletons closest to the group emerge from their graves and move towards the group surrounding them. Some emerge adacent to some of you, Alexander, Zaidel, and Angelica. You each get an AoO as they stand if you are free. Those three skeletal abominations strike out with their two claws. Two of the claws sink into Angelica's flesh, making her bleed and leaving behind wounds.

Alia responds to Stratton, wary of the undead nearby, "If you would scout ahead first, then if you don't see any threats we could use that plan."

Round 2

She steps forward up to Stratton and the end of her quarterstaff quickly enlarges. With her great club she brings it down upon the gray skeleton. She exclaims unintelligibly as she does, her body gains even larger muscles. The great club breaks multiple bones but the skeleton still stands.
