Book 1 Chapter 3.2 - Beneath the Barrow

[Oath]

Cecilia squeezed past her allies, her curiosity about the chamber overwhelming any instinct to stay safe. She shoots an acid dart at the nearest creature.

Acid dart (ranged touch attack)

Rolled 1d20+2 : 18 + 2, total 20

damage: 

Rolled 1d6 : 3, total 3

[Asta]

The dart of acid zips through the air, splashing across the arm of the walking corpse and melts off a patch of decaying flesh with an audible sizzle. The zombie does not seem to care though, as it breaks out into a quick shamble and brings its arms down on Cecelia in a slam. The attack, though deflected somewhat by her mage armor, still connects with Cecilia's arm with a painful wet thud. The second zombie, shuffles forward slowly, groaning.

Meanwhile, Scathach darts past Rhenri and Thedrin to enter the room with bow drawn and arrow knocked. She lets the projectile fly and its head buries deep in the chest of the second zombie, but the creature shrugs off the attack.

Cecilia shoots zombie 1 with acid dart, dealing 3 damage.

Rhenri's flaming arrow streaks past Scathach's head and strikes the walking corpse in the chest. The attack elicits little response from the unholy creature but the fire begins to burn away at its decomposing flesh, filling the chamber with an unpleasant odor.

Knowledge Religion (17):
You recognize these walking corpses as zombies, mindless undead creations. Their poor reflexes and rotted muscles prevent them from moving quickly (permanently staggered) however they can sometimes attack with surprising speed (can move and attack as a charge action). Their dead flesh is resistant to most forms of physical damage, though bladed weapons prove effective (DR 5/slashing).

[pringerbeam]

     Thedrin remembered back to his training at the academy. "Foul undead... Use magic or edged weapons." He said as he dropped his hammer. He drew his longsword from its sheath as he advanced on the zombies and swung a downward blow at the most damaged of the two.

Move action: move 15 ft and draw longsword.

Thedrin's downward slash caught the zombie full in the crown of its head, cleaving down to the hole that was once a nose. The creature let loose one last rattling gasp before crumpling to the floor, its body still.

Thedrin attacks Zombie 1, dealing 4 damage and killing it.

Cecilia to take turn.

Cecilia shoots acid dart at zombie 2

[Asta]

The dart goes wide, missing its target by a hair. The zombie, unfazed by Cecilia's attack, and the death of its compatriot raises its dead arms to attack Thedrin. The putrescent appendages, despite being soft with rot, prove an effective cudgel as they deliver a crushing blow to Thedrin's upper body.

Scathach, drops her bow and draws her sword, stepping forward to give Thedrin backup. Bringing the curved blade down in a snapping motion, she catches the zombie in the collarbone, cutting deep.

Cecilia shoots Zombie 2, misses.

Zombie 2 slams Thedrin, dealing 10 damage.

Scathach attacks Zombie 2, a critical hit, dealing 8 damage.

[Asta]

The arrow whips through the tangle of bodies engaged with each other and finds it's mark, a flaming streak that embeds itself in the zombies face. With a soft grunt, more the sound of escaping air than anything resembling human reaction, the animate corpse tumbles to the ground expended.

Rhenri shoots Zombie 2, dealing 1 piercing and 2 fire damage.

     Thedrin took out his wand and touched it to his battered body. "Was this wizard a master of the necromantic arts?" He half asked, half wondered aloud as he healed himself.
