He hands Cyril the simple wooden club with a leather strap for a handle.
With that settled he rushes forward finding the nearest zombie and aims to take it down in one powerful strike.
"Oh YEAH!" He announcers as the corpse falls to the ground. Then he backs up as the undead converge on the noise.
Three skeletons move up to Arthur. But only one strikes missing him completely. As one zombie slowly moves forward.

As he takes a few moments to heal and catch his breath he asks, "Cyril let's follow after Ed. You can go after the skeleton, I will flank with you and deal with the zombie when it gets closer, yeah?"
Cyril, though breathing heavily, nods. "After you, Ed!"
As per Ed's post he has cleared the way down one alley and a skeleton emerges from one of the closer buildings as a zombie shambles out further away.
Arthur moves out and around the skeleton so it is focused on him, leaving Cyril with a flank once he gets to the fight. So his Round 11 actions.

Then he reels back from the smell, still keeping an eye on their surroundings but moving back too.
---
Round 13
As he pivots and gets in the ten foot wide alley he quickly whispers, "There are two zombies over there. But first look East, we will handle them first."
He lifts his halberd and readies to bring it down when they get close enough,
Two more zombies crawl out of the building 65 feet away. Also four skeletons are coming out down the East alley towards you. They are between 30 and 90 feet apart.
Round 13
Cyril rankles his nose against the smell of undead, and fights on against the zombies.
Round 13
The skeleton is obliterated by your readied attacks!
Two of the other skeletons are able to run up to you. One swings at Arthur with a heavy flail as the other simply holds two short swords.

As the two skeletons attack, both leave themselves open to attack. Cyril is quick to take that advantage.
Cyril spins and swipes at the other short sword wielder.
Round 15
Stymied by his last attack, Cyril finds another opening on flail.
Cyril then attacks the nearest short sword wielder.
As he feels the cosmic power build up he reminds himself and Cyril, "Remeber we need to make the wishes before we gain enough cosmic energy to level up.
Mistress, I wish for a ring of protection +3 to be formed before me with no curses or negative ramifications.
Mistress, I wish for a ring of invisibility to be formed before me with no curses or negative ramifications.

Mistress, I wish for a belt of physical perfection +2 to be formed before me with no curses or negative ramifications.
Mistress, I wish for an Amulet of Natural Armor +3 to be formed before me with no curses or negative ramifications."
He asks as he reaches down to collect a ring, "You got his last one right?"
Round 16
He opens himself to an AoO as he moves around the skeleton to give Cyril flanking and offers, "Take the ring of invisibility it should be helpful!"
Then he attempts to aid him.

He opens himself to an AoO as he moves around the skeleton to give Cyril flanking and offers, "Take the ring of invisibility it should be helpful!"
Round 16
In the middle of combat, the young investigative wizard was confused by the chaos around him. As he take the ring from Stavian, Cyril stammers, "Wish? Now?! I can't even remember if I killed any undead? Um!..Mistress, I wish for a....way to kill these undead better with no curses or negative ramifications!" Cyril bellowed as he struck at the flail bearing.
Round 17
"Dammit!" Young Cyril cursed at his terrible showing. "Just fuçking die, won't you?!"
"Uh..Mistress, I wish..I wish I could smite evil, like my father did, with no curses or negative ramifications!!"
As Cyril makes his first wish a part of the cosmic magic within him activates. A blue screen appears before him:
Your ability Unassaiable Wish has been activated please select which route you wish to take:
1) Template in close proximity allows you to gain the Sublime template.
2) Sacrifice your class levels for cleric levels
3) Gain the Healing Hex
4) Gain a draught of divine punishmet
The blue screen easily moves out of your line of sight so it does not obstruct your view. It even minimizes if you fight with it.
Then with the second wish another screen appears:
Your ability Unassaiable Wish has been activated please select which route you wish to take:
1) Sacrifice your class levels for levels in paladin
2) Gain the ability of smite evil once per day (class and alignment restrictions apply) The smite is of a 3rd level paladin using your cha score for damage. This ability is scaleable.
3) Gain a scabbard that allows you to use smite once per day, it only works once until a requirement is made. The smite is of a 5th level paladin with a cha score of 26.
4) Gain a draught of divine punishment
Round 17
He makes the next two wishes as he continues to try to aid his friend. He also speaks calmly, trying to reassure him, "Cyril breathe, focus. There is only one left. Yes keep it up!"
Using his inspirational words he infuses them with magic.
Round 18
This round he chooses to reach down, making an opening on him to keep the skeleton's attention on him. Though it is to collect the headband.
Then he tries to aid Cyril more.
In a frantic state, Cyril tries to fight the undead as two large blue screens block his vision. The young Lucan clicks on Option 1 on the first screen, and Option 2 on the second screen.
Round 17
Cyril attacks the remaining undead.
Round 18
Round 17
As the selection is made the magic infuses and transforms Cyril's body. You also release a channel of positive energy as so much energy is poured into you.
Round 18
Cyril smacks the club full force into the skeleton's chest decimating it. The bones fly mostly in the direction of the swing.
Another blue screen appears this time in front of both of you:
Experience is welling up within you, you may choose to level up now or wait until the end of the instance.
-
Level up / Wait
Both exhausted and invigorated, Cyril reaches up to click 'Wait'.
"Arthur? What happened? I acquired a template, whatever that is." Cyril breathed. "How are you? Ed?"
He finishes his wishes then he takes the next few rounds to collect his gear from the ground and secures it to his person.
He clicks the 'Wait'.
As he takes a few steadying breaths he responds calmly, "I dunno, what kind of template? I am hurt but will heal." He then points over at Ed.
Ed continues to charge about impaling bodies upon his great rack. Cyril feels much stronger and full of life, looking down at one of the bite wounds seeing the blood stop flowing and then the flesh reforms. With a wipe of the blood and it seems like it was never bitten.
