Hedric: Pulls an oil flask out of his pack, ready to use as an IFD if any of the zombies break through the line.

Zombie #1: -17 Zombie #2: -8 Zombie #3: 0 Zombie #4: 0

Pyrrhic, empowered by striking down one of the monsters, tightens his stance blocking off the zombies from reaching the rest of his party.

He strikes forward with a mighty blow, hoping to end another of the beasts!

To hit with Longsword: [1d20+1] = 2+1 = 3, damage: [1d8+1] = 6+1 = 7

Feeling better, after seeing the zombie coming his way, fall, Marcus lets loose yet another arrow at the nearest creature.

Striking from the shadows, Dren leaps at the shambling creature before him, hoping to surprise it.

Gawain will continue to hack into the flanks of the zombies. He tries to calm his heart and focus on his breathing like the swordmaster amongst his people taught him, and focus his blows with greater precision.

To hit: [1d20+2] = 8+2 = 10, damage with longsword: [1d8+1] = 7+1 = 8

[1d8] = 6 damage (not sure how you want the critical hit to be rolled. I just rolled base damage....please adjust accordingly

I play that a critical only occurs on a natural 20.

Seeing the corpse getting tangled up in the bodies of the fallen beasts, Pyrrhic strikes out at it hoping for an easy kill.

To hit with Longsword: [1d20+1] = 8+1 = 9, damage: [1d8+1] = 2+1 = 3

The blade feels uneasy in his hand. Perhaps these unholy beasts have cursed him. Their unlife causing him to forget his training and fight no better than a boy conscript.

Wrenching his blade from the now still corpse with a wet sucking sound, Dren whirls to attack the creature that is clambering over it's now still body ..... ..... but the stenching slippery ichor that now coats his blade almost makes it slip from his hand and the chance to strike is lost.

Uto

You ain't shoeing a horse Pyrrhic, put the beastie down or get out of the way!

"Gah! If only... I were... left-handed", Mortiganto pants as he keeps chopping at the zombie.

Right-Handed Axe Attack (Z2):[1d20+1] = 11+1 = 12 (AC7), Right-Handed Damage: [1d6+1] = 6+1 = 7

Mortiganto backpedals to catch his breath, leaving an opening for another explorer to bring down that last zombie.

Darting around the legs of Morti as he stepped back, Dren drives his blade upwards towards the belly of the groaning undead ..
