Anton sticks the steel against the flint, and after a moment of desperate sparks, the torch flickers back into life. The dim glow barely cuts through the darkness, and it looks like the light struggles to keep the cold at bay.

He only had a short moment to notice one of the bodies lying on the floor reaching out and grasping Will's wrist with its emaciated hand as he stopped low to inspect it. The rest of the fallen adventurers slowly rise to their feet, their eyes blank and lifeless as they reach out to you with their decaying hands...
OOC:

There are five zombies in total.
Roll for initiative, and, to save time, for your actions as well.

Were it not for his vocal chords having clamped off in fear Anton would have yelped at the sight of the undead. He quickly pawed at his daggers to try and bring one to hand, but what would good would steel be against the living dead! Still he had to try, he chucked one of the daggers at one of the zombies!

Anton struck at the nearest zombie. The blade found its mark, but the creature didn’t react. Its lifeless eyes locked onto him, and it continued its slow advance, as if the strike had done nothing at all. It didn't flinch not even when the arrow struck its chest. The creature didn't feel any pain, and stabbing it didn't slow it down any.

The zombies did recoil at the sight of Boudica's holy symbol, as if they were compelled to pause. The growled as they glared at the symbol, but the resistance was brief. With a hiss, they resumed their advanced, trying to claw at you with their hands.
OOC:
Edited:
Only one of the Zombies scored a hit on Anton this round. Will can take his action, then we will move to round two (you act first, because the Zombies always lose initiative)
OOC:

Unfortunately that all looks like misses. I narrated you hitting the targets without inflicting any damage, but don't take it as if your weapons can't harm them.
Boudica - you were very close to succeeding in turning them away, and you can keep on trying as many times as you'd like.
Anton - you still have the potion of heroism with you, and though it is not unwise to save it for whatever creature killed the adventurers to begin with, you don't want to end up dead either with it on you.
Also, since we're not playing with a map and its hard to visualize the battlefield -you can always retreat up the stairs and fight the zombies in a choke-point.

Boudica grunts in frustration but raises her holy symbol again, and calls one more on her Faith to turn these foul creatures.

If she can do so safely, she also steps backward up the steps.

Will cleaved the zombie in twain. Even that was not enough to ‘kill’ the undead; the one-armed torso pulled itself forward by its fingernails, the head growling and hissing as it inched toward the fighter. Miyana’s arrow found its mark too, and the Zombie staggered backward before continuing its advance.

OOC:
Will did eliminate the zombie, and it is no longer considered a threat, though you probably don’t want to fall asleep next to it. Miyana scored a solid hit as well. For reference, the Zombies have 8 hp, and an AC of 11, so if you inflict that much damage you can narrate how you dispatched it.
Still need an action from Will and Anton for round 2. And since the party is retreating back up the stairs ,I need to know who volunteers to stand in front and fight the Zombies off one by one.

Content with slashing prowess, Will swings his sword at the next nearest zombie!

Anton couldn't believe what was happening, even when Will's blade cut down the Zombies they continued to crawl after them.

"We have to get back upstairs"

He turned and headed up the stairs, stopping only long enough to glance back and make sure the others were following.

Targeting the same zombie Will did, Miyana lets fly! Her arrow takes the zombie through the eye and it falls before it can take another step.

After the initial surprise, Will and Miyana start to get the upper hand over the Zombies; Miyana manages to shoot one of them down, and Will slices a Zombies’ hand as it reaches out to grab him. Only three of them remain, and with Will blocking the stairway they have no choice but to fight the armored fighter with their bare hands.
OOC:
You can post your actions for round 3. Only 3 zombies remain, and one of them is injured. @WhtKnt - I think you already took your 3 actions. Everyone else can take their turn.

The zombies staggered back, their twisted forms writhing in agony, when a sudden flash of blinding light erupted from Boudica's holy symbol. Forced to recoil in front of the holy power, their guttural growls turned into angry snarls as they turned and fled into the darkness, disappearing into the shadows...
OOC:
That was a good 'Turn Undead' Roll.
The three remaining Zombies turn and flee, though you are not sure where to, and for how long they will be kept away.
What do you do?
Feb 19, 2025 5:23 pm
"I am quite glad you are here miss Boudica, I fear my dagger attacks were less than useful" Anton straightened his vest, "We should push forward slowly, we know not what other horrors await in the dark."

Boudica falls to her knees and offers a song of thanks to the goddesses of the old Faith.
OOC:
The song, should you be curious:
https://youtu.be/6rYw8C8GhlY?t=70
Once she has sung the first verse, she rises and says, "I do not know for how long they will flee, nor whether we must face them again. But for now, the goddess has delivered us from their evil."

OOC:
Dope song, does she get all the choir chanting and such mystically? :)
