Part 5: Return to the Moathouse Ruins

You won't have to worry about the zombie moving to that side. There's the stairwell wall there, and also a shelf that's been for the most part picked clean by the Giant Rats that previously inhabited this area.

It's kind of hard to tell by the map, so maybe this drawing will help.

Bors is standing at the top of the landing, five feet ahead of him, Maloria is standing on the stairs, probably on the top one or two steps. One zombie is standing a few feet below her, while another is currently behind that one lurking somewhere in the dark.
So basically, as it stands right now, the only way the Zombies are gonna get upstairs if for them to get past Maloria, and then shove past Bors who's standing directly behind Mal.

Is Eltrezar holding his turn, or was he going to do something else?

Round 8 ends; Round 9 begins! Turn order is as follows:
--> 1. Gilly (8)
2. Bors (7)
3. Maloria (5)
4. Angel, Eltrezar, Man-at-Arms (2)
5. Zombies (6)

In order to see the front gate DGilly will have to move a bit. I put her at V9.

It sounds like a solid plan to killbox them in the same spot you did the rats is coming together. It is Bors's turn next.
1. Gilly (8)
--> 2. Bors (7)
3. Maloria (5)
4. Angel, Eltrezar, Man-at-Arms (2)
5. Zombies (6)

Let's wait one more day and see if Bors takes his turn, and if not, to keep things moving I'll npc him a round. I'm thinking Bors will heed Mal's suggestion and move to T9 and ready his weapon and shield. But let's give it another minute and see.

@domimion451:
Few important things to mention real quick... Then we'll move onto Angel, Man-at-Arms, and Eltrezar.

1. Since Mal has to make a fighting retreat, she can only move 1/6 of her Movement Rate. Mal's current MR is 90', so she'll only be able to make a Fighting Retreat of 15'. After backing up the stairs and rounding the corner of the shelves the Giant Rats picked over, she can only get as far as R10 this turn. (Movement pattern for this round would be [Start at] Q10-->Q11 --> R11 --> R10 [End Movement].)

2. Since Mal is making a Fighting Retreat instead of a Full Retreat, she can still attack this round if she wants, either before or after her Move Action.

3. If you don't want to use your attack this round, you can opt for the Full Retreat. If making a Full Retreat you can move up to your Encounter Movement Rate (30' in this case), which would put you at S10, where you want Mal to be, but Maloria will forfeit her attack this round and any opponents gain a +2 To-Hit bonus on her this round.

If we don't get an update on Mal by the end of the day I'll roleplay that she opts for the Full Retreat option.

Eltrezar is up next before the two remaining zombies rush up the stairs and attack the killbox fighters.
1. Gilly (8)
2. Bors (7)
3. Maloria (5)
--> 4. Angel, Eltrezar, Man-at-Arms (2)
5. Zombies (6)

Because the zombies used their turn to make full movement instead of their Encounter Movement speed, they cannot attack this round. This gives the party at the killbox one more chance to bat their attackers around a bit before they finally face being attacked. Round 9 ends; Round 10 begins.
Turn order is as follows:
--> 1. Gilly, Bors (7)
2. Angel (6)
3. Man-at-Arms (5)
4. Maloria (3)
5. Eltrezar (2)
6. Zombies (2)
