Tallis sends another flurry of blows at Ilil.
1d20+2=11, 1d20+2=22, 1d6+3=8,
His first punch goes wide, which just gives Tallis an opening to punch the elf right in the face.

Surprisingly, the clawed monster in the pool with Ms. Gunnom doesn't manage to land a claw on her. By now she has recognized the creature as a reefclaw. She's seen them in the market but knows little about them.
---------------------
As foot-dragging monks in stained and tattered robes drag their rotting corpses towards the gates at the west side of the room, you find yourselves surrounded by the undead. Zombies now block every exit from this room.
The gate in the middle of the south wall slowly begins to open.
While he has a short reprieve, Lord pulls out a Potion Vial and drinks it down.
The gates on the south have opened halfway and continue to open. The gates on the east wall begin to scrape up as well. The undead do not wait patiently for the gate to lift but begin to crawl underneath, allowing the spikes of the portcullis to scrape putrifying flesh from their backs without concern. The hiss and groan as they straighten out and begin to make their ways towards you. There are at least ten zombies to the south. Maybe more if others are deeper in the corridors.
Gunnom strikes again with the masterwork Kama
The damage to the reefclaw is surely fatal but it continues to attack. It's own blood and bits of flesh in the water seem to only increase its ferocious appetite. It slashes at Gunnom with a claw again, scraping her but doing little damage.
Everybody:
Here's my item. =D
Seeing Tallis and Ilil, hard at work beating each other up, Lord decides to let them go at it and defeat the victor of that fight. Instead, he takes his first good look at the undead monks entering the Arena and doesn't like what he sees.
He skirts the pool in the centre and moves towards the southern gate, pulling something from one of his bags.
Tallis once again sends a flurry of blows at Ilil.
A creature that is glued to the floor (or unable to fly) can break free by making a DC 17 Strength check or by dealing 15 points of damage to the goo with a slashing weapon.
Ilil realizes that the zombies pose a greater threat than Tallis does, "Stop! Can't you see we've been tricked?"

Lord Flash sensibly turns his attention towards the greater threat. Zombies are beginning to fill the room and far outnumber the living.
Ms. Gunnom's kama finally cracks the hard shell of the reefclaw. It spasms wildly, tearing at her flesh.

Ilil realizes that the zombies pose a greater threat than Tallis does, "Stop! Can't you see we've been tricked?"
Tallis looks at Ilil, then the zombies, then back to Ilil. "You have a point." He then begins pulling at his legs with pure panic.
1d20+3=7
"Uh, a little help here?"
meanwhile...
Small Jackie lays on the floor, unable to help, oblivious to the danger...
"Ili, you go ahead and leave! I'll just stay here and get devoured by undead."
Gunnom exclaims "Nasty fishy! You sushi!!"
The pool is 20' deep but a quick swim around the bottom reveals nothing.
"Ili, you go ahead and leave! I'll just stay here and get devoured by undead."
Ilil attempts to help Tallis but still can't get him unstuck. "What we need is a slashing weapon. That would cut this stuff. The rules said no slashing weapons. Did you bring one?"
"Hey! it smell worse up here then down there!" cries Gunnom. She begins ripping the padding off the Kama. "I have slashing slicers! I help then we beat stinky men!"
Lord Flash draws one of his Kama and then proceeds to rip the padding off it in preparation for the oncoming horde.
The zombies reach Tallis and Ilil first.
Other zombies gather around LJ and Lord Flash.
The zombies have not reached Gunnom yet.
Ilil attacks with two quick swings of her Kama but only connects once.
Gunnom tosses her non-Masterwork Kama (now devoid of padding) to Tallis
"Here! You cut sticky!"
Gunnom then once again attempts to cross the plank to the center.
As the horde approaches him, he prepares to offer up a fight. He grabs a last potion out of his bag and quickly quaffs it down before the Zombies are upon him.
Tallis watches in horror as three zombies tear Ilil apart as she tries to defend him. Ripping flesh from bone mindlessly, they forget about Tallis for a moment.
Gunnom skirts to the island in the center leaving LJ lying helplessly unconscious.
Three zombies attack Lord Flash but, even without his potion, he would have avoided their slow, awkward swings. Although torn and moldy monk robes hang in tatters off of their frames, their attacks show that their training has not survived their deaths.
Gunnom skirts to the island in the center leaving LJ lying helplessly unconscious.
Gunnom notices the unconcious form of the halfling for the first time.
"Oh! Little man hurt? He cute!"
Gunnom leaps over to the side and tries to make it to the fallen halfling before the horde.
Tallis sends a flurry of blows at the undead with the kama, but he is simply too hindered by the goo.
1d20+1=7, 1d6+3=7, 1d20+1=11, 1d6+3=6

1d20+1=7, 1d6+3=7, 1d20+1=11, 1d6+3=6
Lord Flash lashes out at the nearest Zombies with his newly freed Kama, ignoring the Zombies going for Jackie.
Flurry of Blows. (1d20+6=26, 1d20+6=22)
Confirm Critical Hit. (1d20+6=19)
Damage from Masterwork Kama Flurry of Blows with first strike a Critical Hit. (2d6=8, 1d6=2)
Several of the zombies lumber past Lord Flash and approach Gunnom who is attempting to pick up LJ.
Others attack Lord Flash and Tallis but only one hits Tallis. .
Still, there are many many more and they are beginning to press forward and will soon surround you.
"Everyone! Just run to the exit!"
Then, with hardened pieces of goo falling off of him, he does just that.

As I am jostled around I continue to be oblivious to the approaching hordes of undead. My dreams however seem to involve being the center of a toss the halfling match.
Tallis withdraws quickly to join Gunnom and LJ near the pool. Lord Flash is a bit to the south. All the gates have risen to allow these hordes of zombies to enter.
