Back at it

[rredmond]

Yeah, I'll watch the front door,Tub offers after hearing the undeadcreature scuffling around downstairs.

[wolfpack]

waiting on actions.....

[zebediah]

Sergius moves downstairs carefully, spear raised to meet any threat.

[wolfpack]

Serg moves downstairs followed by Osric.

I will assume someone has a torch

the two reach the bototm of the stairs unto a cold hard dirt floor.
The root cellar has several shelves jutitng out form the walls that seem to be filled with jars of preserves and bags.

One of the shelves has been knocked over and jars lay broken. as the two men watch 4 shapes come shuffling from behind the shelves.

two adult sized creatures, once human now the stench of rotting flesh and reaching boney hands reveal their undead nature.

Following closley behind them two more of the rotting creatures, but these two are smaller ,shorter, one wearing a small rotting nightgown, the other pajamas, The one in the nightgown, the girl, has the head of a stuffed teddy bear peaking from a pocket in her gown.

the creatures moan and slowly reach out and make there way toward the young warrior and priest.

[Alethan]

"Retreat back up the stairs, and well fight them with the advantage,"Cilian calls down from the top of the stairs.

[zebediah]

"Retreat back up the stairs, and well fight them with the advantage,"Cilian calls down from the top of the stairs.

Sergius will try to go back upstairs. If the undead are already within melee reach he will keep a defensive stance with his spear while moving back (assuming this is possible/effective).

[wolfpack]

the zombies are so slow you cna easily move back up the stairs before they reach you.

[Scythius Equinus]

Osric scampers back up the stairs and begins to call on Thor to aid in the dispersal of the Zombies...

[Anivar]

Why do we always have to kill the dead? Scythius wonders out loud as he prepares to thrust at a zombie once they are within reach.

[wolfpack]

the doorway is only big enough for 1 person to attack through as the zombies move up the stairs.

[Argennian]

"What devilty now?" Viktor blurts out as he sees his friends tense up defensively and then hears the shuffling movement and accompanying moans of the dead.

The young churl deputy will move out of the way so Osric and Sergius can step back through the doorway from the stairs. "Next time we see Jonus? I'm gonna kill him..." he announces to himself.

[wolfpack]

the zombies move slowly up the stairs, who takes point? you automatically win init.

[Alethan]

OOC: Can we make a circle around the top of the stairs so that only one or two can get up to the top and more can attack at the same time? Or, is there a door that can be closed, where someone could wait for one or two of them to come up, then close the door on the others?

[rredmond]

Anyone have any oil or holy water? Tub says from the other room.

you could arrange yourselves so 2 people could align at the doorway so both could attack while keeping he zombies restricted to only 1.

there is a door that was shut and you guys opened but no additional door.

[wolfpack]

Who is going to stand where? who is doing what?

the zombies are slowly making their way up the stairs

[Alethan]

Cilian the non-fighter with no more spells to cast stands back and lets the fighters handle the undead...

[rredmond]

Tub remains by the front door to watch their back, and knowing that you don't bring a dagger to a holy symbol fight.

we got clerics, right? Otherwise someone shut the happy door.

OOC: if we just shut the door, I don't think Cilian is going to want to rest overnight in the house with the Zed words in the basement. We need to take them out... hitting them over the head with glass ashtrays seems to work. Or maybe a cricket bat...

[wolfpack]

Osric is your only cleric. I did roll for his turning of the zombies but it failed.
