You guys are in a 30x30 room.

There is a door to the southwest, which is stuck, and a door to the north, which is stuck. There's a door to the east, which hasn't been checked, and the hallway to the east which you came from.

The hallway to the east has a door north (that you came through) in the first 10 feet, and another door to the north 40 feet down the corridor. The hallway continues to the east.

How's it going, guys? :D

Lhainor

Let's check the last, unstuck door (East) in this 30x30 room. Does anyone have Hear Noise or a Listen skill or whatever that is in Blueholme? If so, listen at the door first. I don't think Lhainor does (he's just an elf fighter), but if so I will.

Kohrek agrees, checking the east door is a good idea.

Fane listens at the door, but hears nothing. The group lines up to take the door, and find a narrow little 10x20 space filled with 4 zombies.

Round One

Surprised, you and the zombies stare at each other for a moment.

Eyes wide, Kohrek drops his sword at the sight of the zombies.

Kohrek hurls a javelin, drawing a second javelin and holding it in a fighting grip.

Lhainor

Sword a slashing, Lhainor will join the fray. Or, more likely, it will join him since I'm almost certainly last.

Round 2

Recovering your wits, you engage with the zombies.

Nimh and Moony engage one of the zombies, but don't manage to harm it. Theglid joins them, and slams it with his mace (3 damage), knocking it back for a moment, spoiling its attack. Another zombie comes over and claws Moony (4 damage), sending him down to the ground (knocked down)! Lhainor rushes over and cuts a wide gash through the zombie standing over Moony (7 damage) flinging it back against the wall and knocking its feet out from under it. (knocked down)

Fane slams one with his shortsword (7 damage), knocking it back. Fane's opponent recovers its balance, and steps forward, slashing him brutally with its claws (4 damage). Fane manages to keep his feet, barely, but blood drips from a nasty gash across his chest.

Kohrek, realizing that reaching for his sword on the ground would be too slow, pulls a javelin from his back and attacks the remaining zombie with it. His opponent rakes his claws against Kohrek's shield, but neither of them gains an advantage.

1: vs Kohrek
2: -7, knocked down, vs Moony, Lhainor
3: -7, knocked back/recovered, vs Fane
4: -3, knocked back/recovered, vs Nimh, Theglid

Lhainor

Having knocked the zombie off Moony, Lhainor will engage the one on Fane, hopefully slaying it with his sword.

Moony

"By heavens that is a stout blow" he says as the rotund cleric is bowled over. He climbs to his feet and ushers a few chanted words in an attempt to turn the zombies away pointing his holy symbol in their direction.

Round 3

Nimh continues to fight her opponent, trying to rally her new friends. She and Theglid beat at it, but do not seem able to hurt it, and its swipe against Nimh misses.

Fane attacks his opponent, but his hand is slippery with blood, and he is not able to kill it. His opponent swipes him again with its sharp claws, killing him (5 damage). Lhainor rushes over to help, too late! He is left with the cold comfort of downing Fane’s killer before it can harm anyone else (3 damage).

Kohrek continues to fight the zombie before him, but the javelin is not much of a hand-to-hand weapon. He and the zombie he fights make no progress this round.

Moony and his opponent struggle to their feet. Moony presents his holy symbol, but the zombie swats it aside and bares it’s teeth, emboldened against the light here in this dark hell-hole.

Kohrek attempts to “shield bash” his zombie opponent, knocking it backwards, then use the time the creature is regrouping to get his sword back.

Moony

Moony, mace in melee [1d20] = 6 damage [1d6] = 1

the priest, face to face with some rotted faced, worm headed crypt thing swats back, aimlessly.

Round 4

Nimh slams her opponent (2 damage). The crypt thing bares its teeth and hisses at her, but it not able to harm her before Theglid slams it with his mace, killing it (3 damage).

Moony and the rotted faced, worm headed crypt thing swats at each other, without effect.

Kohrek slams his opponent with his shield (2 damage), knocking it back and giving time for Lhainor to move over to help the human warrior, though Lhainor's initial attack is ineffective.

There are two of them left, one facing Moony (which has taken 7 damage), and one facing Kohrek (which has taken 2 damage).

Lhainor

Lhainor will attack the one engaged with Kohrek with his sword.

I assume I missed attacking last round because I switched opponents (not sure since that didn't happen when I switched from the one I killed to the one on Moony, unless there is a difference between selecting a new opponent vs leaving an active opponent).
