Round 3

Init E1 (29), Ranthir (23), Harp (17) Kal (14), Mund (14), Salix (10), Surin (7), C1,C2, C3, C4 (7), E3, E4 (6), Ragnar (6)

Seeing that the halfling is unarmed and by himself the man gives a wicked grin. "I've never seen a zombie halfling before. Well there's a first time for everything." He drops his crossbow and pulls his sword as he charges Surin. Letting out a blood curdling yell the man brings his sword down (AC20, 6+11=17, miss) in a flashing arc. Surin spins as the blade falls and feels the rush of the air as the blade just misses cutting him in half. "Mund" he yells "Make it quick."

Down in the tunnel both Harp and Ran charge the approaching light at the same time. Out of the dark, quite death assaults the oncoming enemies. Ran strikes first, almost before his foe (C1) knows he is being attacked. The ½ elf swings (AC19, 19+12=31, hit, critical threat, crit threat roll, AC19, 2+12=14,miss, damage 9) and draws first blood.

The ½ orc moves with a speed that belies his size. Instead of an over head swing, he lunges with his blade (AC19, 14+14=28, hit, damage 9) at the man in front of him (C3). His sword cuts through the surprised man's armor and leaves a wide gash in his side.

Back up top Kal is grinning as he fights. He plays with the man (E4) for a bit and then thrusts home with his rapier again (AC16, 9+12=21, hit, damage 8). Kal closes with the man, and they both look down at the thin blade coming from his chest and Kal whispers to him "You're dead but you don't know it yet. It is just a matter of time." The man's eyes widen, a small look of fear entering them.

On the other side of the lift Mund growls deep in his throat. The little one was trying to take on one of these guys. Stupid. Swinging his ax at the man next to him (E3) (AC16, 18+13=31, hit, damage 15), the frozen blade cuts deep into the man's chest, shattering bone. Mund reverses his grip on the ax and brings the ax back around on his back swing. This time the man ducks and the blade flies past, just missing the head (AC16, 3+8=11, miss).

Down below Salix follows behind the charge of the two fighters. He stops just at the edge of the light and over the sound of the clash, offers up his prayer to Obad Hai. Calling on the heat of the earth that was used to forge the metal armor, he points at the three foes in the front line. He feels the power flow around him and lance out at the three men (Will save, DC15, C1 10+7=17, save, C2 12+7=19, save, C3 4+7=11, fail) but the power only effecting one of them.

"I'm too cute to be a zombie" the halfling tells the man (E1). With practiced ease, his rapier is in his hand faster then the man can react. Surin hops in and stabs at the man's thigh (AC16, 6+12=18, hit, damage 4). The point draws blood but does not do any serious damage.

Back down in the tunnel the armored men respond to Harp and Ran's attack with the ease of trained professionals. Ran opponent (C1) swings a heavy mace at his head (AC18, 12+6=18, hit, damage 6). The ½ elf is able to get his shield up in time but the crushing blow wrenches something in his shoulder.

The man in the middle (C2) turns his attention Harp. He swings his heavy mace at the ½ orc (AC18, 12+6=18, hit, damage 5) and catches Harp with a glancing blow to his helm.

Harp's other foe (C3) also swings his heavy mace (AC18, 10+6=16, miss) but Harp slides the blow to the side with his buckler.

Behind the three men in the front line the fourth latches his mace to his belt and grabs on to a small scythe on a chain around his neck. In a guttural sounding language, he starts to chant and points at Ranthir (Will save, DC 15, 20+6=26, save). Ran feels a power try and take control of his mind and his body. Remembering his training with his grand father, he focuses his mind and channels the invading thoughts into a section of his mind that he had set up for just this purpose. He hears the echoes of the thoughts as they get lost in the maze.

Back up in the barn Kal's enemy (E4) pushes the elf off and the rapier slides free. The man makes a feeble swing (AC21, 3+7=10, miss) which Kal dodges easily.

Mund's opponent tries (E3) makes a backhanded swing at Mund and catches the barbarian with the edge of his sword (AC18, 15+7=22, hit, damage 7). The man draws a gash down Mund's left arm, the blood tracing down his forearm.

Ragnar waits on the lift, trying to climb up but failing.

OODM: I need actions for round 4.

Subject: Round 4 actions

Kal frowns a little when the man swings at him. This wasn't even a challenge. Why would these men throw their lives away for this foul God?

He repositions himself to take advantage of a weakness that was left in the mans defenses from the last swing and attacks again.
