Attack Zombie in O14 with Dragonsbreath Arrow from Masterwork Footbow. (1d20+7=27)
Confirm Critical. (1d20+7=19)
Damage. (3d6+1=6)
Bethany sees the Zombies stir and takes aim the one she can see before they get too close and she'll have to draw her Sabre.
Seeing that getting a shot off at Toranna is becoming more dangerous to his friends than his foe, (And basically unable to see the Priestess under teh quickly gathering pile of opponents,) Justin wheels around and fires a thin ray of flame at the nearest Zombie, hoping to take it down before it gets a chance to move in and attack him,...
Initiatives (first full rd):
Mr. Swire: 23 [swing and a miss]
Merle: 19 [magic missile]
Karrin: 18 [pinning Toranna]
Justin: 18 [flame a zombie]
Justin's Wolf friend: 18 [muncha buncha]
Drazek: 18 [wallcrawling-mortalbane shot]
Ishmael: 18 [moving to Toranna & missing]
Naridre: 18 [shooting zombies-west lobe]
Issac: 18 [hitting burning zombie]
Bethany: 18 [dragon arrow zombie]
Ekuur: 15 [Hold Person]
Toranna: 13 [attacking]
Zombies: 10 [attacking]
Bethany fires another flaming arrow into a lurching undead. It moans and its black tunic starts to flame up. Justin hits another with an arcane flame, it smokes and smoulders as well.
Toranna breaks Karrin's hold on her.
The two singed zombies zero in on Justin. .

One slashes the lean arcanist with its cheap short sword, the other misses completely.
Another zombie shambles up towards Mr. Swire, flanking the cunning cony catcher.

While trying to keep both of the pale undead at bay, Mr. Swire makes a zig when he should have zagged. One of the zombies' shortswords gashes his ribs. Mr. Swire doesn't feel the pain in the heat of battle, but he knows it'll be a rum scratch once the brawling's over.
A zombie moans and lurches towards Nari, as she readies her bow again.
The zombie's sword clangs against the black marble lintel of the brass doorway as Nari ducks inside
to break the grapple as a standard action by making a
combat maneuver check (DC equal to your opponent’s CMD;
this does not provoke an attack of opportunity) or Escape
Artist check (with a DC equal to your opponent’s CMD). If
you succeed, you break the grapple and can act normally.
** spoiler omitted **
Swire once again attempts to stab the zombie before getting out from between the two undead.
Justin grins like a little nervously as the zombies shuffle in and swing at him. His grin fades to a slightly panicked look as the first slow-moving zombies cheap shortsword penetrates his mystic shield, even as the second bounces off of it, drawing a shower of blue sparks for the effort. There is a second, dimmer flash from the small crystal on his coat lapel, and the sword slows for a brief moment before sliding past his last defense and into his side.
Hissing in pain, Justin's mind whirls as he goes through his small remaining magical repertoire.
"I got one firecracker left, I'll be darned if I'm gonna waste it on you you mouldy piece a,..." He mutters.
:)
Justin takes a swift step back from his new, mouldy, friends, and raises his hand. It is covered in blood from the gash in his side. It is also holding something. Never taking his eyes off of the zombies, he sprinkles a powder, possibly metal from its shinyness, over and onto his black cold-iron sword while murmuring words of power. His mystic passes draw a sigil of flame in the air over the blade. With a final hissing syllable, the blade bursts into flames.
"Now." Justin murmurs, calmly taking the sword in a two handed grip.
"Let's try this again,..."
The summoned wolf, seeing his target suddenly easier to get to, growls happily and leaps in to attack again,...
Bite: 1d20+3=22, Dmg:1d6+1=6, Trip: 1d20+3=6
And the gleaming golden wolf snarls and tears into the the dark priestess, but backs off after the initial attack, unable to get a grip on her armored form and bring her down,...
Merle seeing mr Swire getting ganged up on releaases another two blue bolt blasts at the zombies (both on the same one)
Magic missile damage
I played a Warlock once who clung to the ceiling to Blast some giant beetle that had just annihilated the party. Turns out it was an Ankheg and could spit Acid. So hitting her down to below Zero made her lose her Spider Grip on the ceiling, which in turn made her take falling damage, which in turn killed her... :(
Bethany sees her arrow find it's mark and smiles as another Zombie bursts into flames. She turns her attention to another one, content that the fire will complete the job for her. Pulling another Dragonsbreath Arrow from her Quiver, she takes aim at the closest non-damaged Zombie she can see and lets fly.
Attack nearest Zombie with Dragonsbreath Arrow from Masterwork Foorbow. (1d20+7=19)
Damage. (1d6+1=2)
She notes that the arrow does little damage, but takes heart in the fact that the slow moving Zombie probably doesn't have the presence of mind to put out the fire and will burn as a consequence.
She also realizes that this may possibly be her ast round firing and prepares herself to drop the Footbow and grab her Sabre at a moment's notice.
Toranna jinks and dives past Isaac, hand scrabbling for something in one of her beltpouches
Attack of Opportunity Longspear: 1d20+5=22, 1d8+3=11
Bite:1d20+3=17, Dmg: 1d6+1=2, Trip: 1d20+3=20
As Toranna turns and leaps for the portal, the gleaming golden wolf leaps at her once more!
Drazek unleashes another vile shout focused in the item Toranna drew from her pouch.[ooc] Object will shatter and she needs to make a DC16 will save again or be stunned)
Bite:1d20+3=17, Dmg: 1d6+1=2, Trip: 1d20+3=20
As Toranna turns and leaps for the portal, the gleaming golden wolf leaps at her once more!
Issac's spear finds a open spot in Toranna's mail under her left armpit. Blood gouts from the deep puncture.
OK, Ekuur will try and position himself to affect as many of the zombies as possible, with yet another energy channel ...
Toranna manages to eel past the celestial wolf and head for the portal, bleeding from the spear wound Issac gave her. blood stains her chainmail as she raises a red glass bead. The portal flares to life and she stumbles through.
Initiatives (Rd two):
Mr. Swire: 23
Merle: 19
Karrin: 18

Naridre: 18

Bethany: 18
Ekuur: 15 [Godbombing]
Toranna: 13 [Going in portal]
Zombies: 10 [attacking]
"No. NononononoNO!" Justin shouts.
"Stop her! Git'er Wags!" He cries, his eyes flicking back and forth between the fleeing Toranna and the two moaning zombies facing him.
In response to his cries, the Golden-furred wolf turns and leaps after the dark-robed priestess.
Bite:1d20+3=22, Dmg:1d6+1=5, Trip: 1d20+3=12
The golden wolf's teeth flash and bury themselves into an unarmored part of the woman's leg, but once more the noble creature simply cannot get a good enough grip to bring it's prey down.
Justin spits a curse in an unfamiliar tongue. Stepping back a gain to try to get a clear shot, and holding his burning blade before him like a talisman to ward off the zombies, he flicks his other hand towards the portal, and a thin ray of flame leaps from his fingers to chase after Toranna.
But trying to watch both the zombies AND Toranna at the same time, his aim is just,... off,...
;P
Seeing Toanna trying to make her escape Merle grabs another one of the scrolls and activates it
Use magic device Scorching ray scroll
Roll to hit touch armour
Damage
Swire once again attempts to stab the zombie before getting out from between the two undead.
Mr. Swire dances back towards the others, slashing at the zombie that had eluded him before. This time he scores telling blows. The zombie is lurching, a nerve cluster leading to its left leg severed by Swire's keen dirk

Merle holds up a scroll and chants. A beam of flame crackles from her outstretched fingers, striking Toranna's back as she attempts to step through the portal. The fleeing cleric screeches as she is wrapped in a caul of flame. She topples through the open gate, disappearing from view. The portal shows a glowing red face to the party.

Okay then heading over to the portal.
Okay then heading over to the portal.
After flaming the chain-clad cleric, Merle sprints with swiftness to the red portal that Toranna toppled into. She looks into the brass hoop. Merle can see through the portal, the view looks as if she was staring through a few feet of calm water: Kind of wavery but clear. All she sees is a wall of flame. A faint distorted roar reaches her ears, a sound of a massive conflagration at some distance. Toranna is not in sight.
"Blood and ashes!"
Isaac chews his lip.
"If I ain't back in ten minutes, avenge my death!", he shouts as he runs into the portal after Toranna.
Ekuur chants, holding his obsidian holy symbol high. The two zombies that Justin faces suddenly wrinkle and rot, one's eye exploding in a mist of fluid. The one that Bethany's arrow set on fire collapses in a smouldering heap, the other soldiers on, eye fluid leaking down its stitched-mouthed face.
Issac runs past Merle's startled whiskers, leaping into the wavering hoop of fire. Justin's wolf growls and stares at the flames. Ishmael shrugs and says:
"Well, come on! Jump in the fire!"
Ish sprints past Merle and dives in the portal.
He sprints and leaps after Issac
Initiatives (Rd two):
Mr. Swire: 23 [attack-hit/ 5' step]
Merle: 19 [scroll fire ray-at portal now]
Karrin: 18 [pending]
Justin: 18 [fire ray-can be retconned]

Bethany: 18 [death from above]
Ekuur: 15 [Godbombing]
Toranna: 13 [Going in portal-burning...]
Zombies: 10 [attacking]
Bethany sees the skirmish with Toranna out of the corner of her eye as she is watching the Zombies. Seeing both Isaac and Ishmael disappear into the Portal and noticing Merle on her way, Bethany takes to the air and flies swiftly towards the Portal herself following Isaac.
"Damn it!" Karrin roars, then "Double damn it!" As Isac, Ishmael, and Bethany jump through the portal.
"Fine," she growls, "guess the one with fire resistance stays on this side smooshing Zombies! Guard the portal team. That's the rout our team is going to use to get back!"
Karrin pulls out her axe and swings at the first zombie she spies.
attack, Damage, cold (1d20+10=17, 3d6+9=21, 1d6=6)
Nari will attempt to throw the zombie away from her using energy push (electricity).
"Have you people all gone Insane" Merle yells a second to late as some of the group dive through a portal. "Dammit so much for me smashing the portal and stranding her there."
"Oh hells yeah!" Drazek quips at the sight of Isaac leaping through the portal.
Charging forward, his run along the ceiling launches into what initially begins as a forward flip. Immediately gravity takes hold and his body twists, corkscrewing down and inverting as he plunges, ending in a feet-first dive through the portal, right on the heels of the others.
Karrin pulls out her axe and swings at the first zombie she spies.
The enlarged blue crystal head of Ferissirion cleaves into the final zombie that menaces Justin. The lurching undead freezes, quite literally, its skin turning a pale shade of blue. It topples backwards and shatters into several frozen meat chunks, which skitter along the smooth black marble floor.
Nari will attempt to throw the zombie away from her using energy push (electricity).
Nari concentrates, her little crystalline friend gripped tightly to her shoulder. A pulse of crackling electricity jumps from her and strikes the softly-moaning walking corpse, galvanizing it. It explodes backwards in a puff of ozone and burning flesh, its back slamming into the lintel it was entering into before flying back into the western lobe. The animate corpse twitches and jerks like a pesh addict coming off a binge. An odd yellowish fluid begins to seep from its nose and sewn-shut mouth.
Drazek launches himself from his high perch, executing a graceful mid-air corkscrew, heading feet first after Issac and Ishmael. The warlock's sardonic smile is the last thing the party sees as he vanishes into the portal.
