Florin grits his teeth as the teeth of the undead bite into his upper thigh. There's a brief flurry of sound and vision over the paladin's shoulder as the wall of whirling blades comes and goes.
Then Florin does some biting of his own. Sinews powered by the strength of a bull, the paladin brings his crackling Mithral blade down upon the flesh of the disease cursed undead.

Xenia activates her flying boots, takes a five foot step up, and gets out a tanglefoot bag.
Harley suffers the brunt of the blade attack and steps back (under Xenia). He casts a Blade Barrier of his own and then follows with a quick defensive magic.
[DM OOC to Harley: I have positioned your blade barrier to force all three of the enemy to make saves. As set now, it forces medium size creatures to squeeze past the blades, and large sized creatures would need an escape artist check to squeeze past safely. If you would prefer some other placement, let me know. I am also assuming that you cannot place it out of line of sight. Let me know if you disagree or want other positioning.]
The force blades also take deep bites out of Belkior. He responds by dispelling the magic!
Syr avoids the blades and attacks, destroying an undead.
Florin hits the undead before him for 26 damage.
Wynn blinks into the Realm of Shadows, and through the secret door at F10. He sees that there are undead filling the corridor (shown on the map). There is no place for him to blink. However, he CAN strike at a grey cord that he can see on the other-Woldly plane. The DM assumes that he does so -- it is AC20 and Hardness 10. The bard hits, but with only 8 points of damage, none gets past the cord's hardness.
==========
The Enemy
First, Harley's Blade Barrier. The cleric has Spell Resistance 24, because he has cast a Spell Resistance spell on himself. So Harley has to first roll a d20 plus his caster level and beat a 24 to see if the spell will affect the cleric.
But to speed things along, I'll roll a die and see if the cleric saves, making this point moot ... Reflex save is an 18. The required save was a 23 (thanks for posting that, Harley!), so the cleric will take damage unless his spell reistance saves him. I'll leave that to Harley to roll!
The undead flanking him get saves too: both fail, losing 36 hp damage each.
Next those two wounded undead move off to the north, wile unwounded ones come up to replace them. The new ones squeeze in between the blades and the wall. Another undead (U9) charges up to attack Syr. Three attacks miss.
The wounded one fighting Florin withdraws, opening up a space for a fresh undead to appear. It does, charging the undead hunter. All three of its attacks miss.
The cleric, from behind the cover of the machine, casts Flame Strike. It centers on Brahmah, so the following PCs must make saves: Darples, Brahmah, Wynn, Syr, Xenia, and Harley. The Reflex Save DC is a 20. The spell inflicts 52 or 26 hp damage (half fire, half evil).
You can just barely see another robed figure edge up next to the cleric. What he casts will depend on the Spell Resistance roll.
By the way, the undead are AC18 if they are charging, AC20 otherwise.
Casualties inflicted:
three undead wounded by half to three-quarters. one undead destroyed.

"Poor Darples, Wynn. He was kind of a quiet little wierdo, but he risked his life to bring us this far." The rest of the thought remains unsaid. The Undercrat had run the risk and lost the bet, paying, finally, with his life.
"'Kay, one Magicker, stuck to the floor." Xenia's voice comes from out of the air above Harley's head. She appears from shadow just as a Tanglefoot bag leaves her hand and smacks into the red hooded man behind the chunk of machinery. It explodes against him with a splat, and the rogue enters shadow again as she flies across the room to hide again on the other side of the door.

Xenia (AC26, 68/68HP) Friday November 21st, 2008 6:38:28 AM
OoC: Question on the cords that come from the Undead.
You've mentioned that they start at the undead and go off to the east. Xenia was able to follow them through walls and such when she scouted the way forward.
So, my impression is that the undead to the west of us should have silver chords that pass through our west wall moving to the east and going through our room. These silver cords should be anyone to bee seen by anyone is blinking, and can also be attacked. The blinking PC should be able to do this even though the undead themselves are on the other side of the wall. Is this correct?
BTW, Wynn's sword is adamantine. Should bypass hardness.
Extra Info - DM Cayzle Friday November 21st, 2008 7:21:37 AM
Syr steps up five feet after killing his undead. That puts him at J9. He can't take more than a five foot step forward because he used a full attack. Undead U9 is in space K9, and U4 is crouched on the machinery in K10.
Any blinking people (Wynn and Xenia) see five or six undead strands going through Wynn's space. They can be attacked -- That's what I declared Wynn did last round. The Shadow Walls, which exist on both planes, block the cords, which have to bend around them, so they do not go exactly east.

DM OOC from last time: (1) Harley's blade barrier fails to beat the cleric's spell resistance. He is unaffected. (2) The robed figure, another cleric, C2, squeezes up between wall and blades and casts a spell on the unwounded cleric, C1, probably a buff of some kind. (3) Wynn's adamantine weapon did bypass the cords' hardness! So he severed a cord last round.
Extra Note! Any time that you cast a spell on the cleric, C1, please include a spell resistance roll with your post! Just like Belkior did with that prayer, thanks!
The Heroes!
Brahmah reaches over Syr's head, whacking an undead. He opens the way for Syr to step up, who himself whacks another with a potent flurry of blows. That's two more undead down, and Syr is five feet closer to the enemy cleric C1.
Xenia ties the cleric down with a well placed tanglefoot bag. His save is a 28, so although he is tangled for seven rounds (-2 to attack and -4 to Dex and moves at half speed). [DM OOC: Just to double check ... Xenia is NOT blinking, right?]
Harley takes some damage from the Flame Strike. He casts Silence in M9. It covers both clerics and Syr.
Belkior casts a prayer spell. All the undead in sight and cleric C2 are affected. Cleric C1's spell resistance (exactly 24) saves him.
Florin kills an undead too, and stays put.
Wynn, having severed a cord last round, repeats that act. He sees that the cords are moving, and deduces that the undead are moving away from that spot behind the wall.
The Enemies!
All the undead you can see (three of them) move away. The ones near the clerics pick up the machinery and move it with them as they go. The two clerics move off to the south, moving slowly. Then four new fresh undead pile in, two from each direction. Two of them charge Syr and Florin.
Vs Florin: A bite hits AC35, and a claw scratches AC31, so those hit for 18 and 9! 27 total to Florin! Max damage on both attacks!
"Don't let 'em draw you too far out, Syr. Long as they keep coming, we can keep cutting 'em down. I'm going out to take a look at our back side."
The rogue whispers to her ring and the Wold begins blinking between color and shades of gray. She draws a wand and counts the number of silver cords that pass through their room before crossing to pass out of the far wall.
"Wynn, I see 'em." With the danger of the infected undead just beneath her, the dark rogue describes everything on the other side of the wall to her beau in hopes that the information can be of use to them.
OoC Request: Could we have an update of the map to reflect what Xenia sees? It may have an effect on what the others do. I'm assuming that from E11 she can see around the corner.

A glance downward shows Florin a pool of his own blood widening at his feet. The last two blows had come right through his shield.
"Not to trouble you, Friend Belkior, but I'm feeling the toll of my injuries."
Those are all the words that the paladin can spare time for as he concentrates on putting strength into his blows and bringing another undead creature to its rest.

DM Extra Notes and Corrections (Round 3.5) DM Cayzle d100=94 ; d100=93 ; Sunday November 23rd, 2008 4:01:22 PM
1) The rules say: "To affect a creature that has spell resistance, a spellcaster must make a caster level check (1d20 + caster level) at least equal to the creature's spell resistance."
So yes, the cleric WAS affected by the Prayer. Thanks for setting me straight on that.
2) I keep on forgetting about Florin's Cloak! 20% miss chance! Let's roll it: 94 and 93. Nope. Both still hit, sorry.
3) Xenia at this time sees no grey cords passing through the room. When she leaves the room, she sees more ... including two undead that have no cords (marked by "*" on the map i sent you.)
I think that's it but keep on keeping me honest!

"Wynn, we got two deaders outside the secret door." The rogue looks down upon the immobile undead just below her and to one side. "One deader's directly to the right of the door and another five feet away to the left. Both look like their stunned. Space in between is clear."
"Looks like one more wandering up the right path just hit a dead end. I see the Red Maskie that I hit with the tanglefoot bag. He's down the corridor to the southwest of that pillar thing."

Syr steps into his attacks and frowns when the meaty thunk isn't present as his fists connect.

Xenia starts blinking (standard action). She moves at half speed -- to maximize her sneakiness -- and passes through solid matter to peek in the corridor next door. She sees that there are still lots of undead, and she catches a glimpse of the cleric who has been pesterizing you. She communicates this mentally with Wynn.
[DM OOC note to Xenia -- Per the rules, "While blinking, you can step through (but not see through) solid objects. For each 5 feet of solid material you walk through, there is a 50% chance that you become material. If this occurs, you are shunted off to the nearest open space and take 1d6 points of damage per 5 feet so traveled." Did Xenia roll such a percent? If not, she needs to, and if she fails, she should roll the appropriate damage. When passing through a five foot thick space, roll randomly to determine the side of the five-foot divider on which you land -- but in this case, for this round only, we will assume that Xenia ended up on the far side.]
Wounded, Florin hits the undead before him for 32 damage.
Harley cures himself.
Wynn tries to blink through the secret door that remains jammed (by Xenia) shut. But he materializes in the solidity of the thick substance through which he is trying to pass, with a painful result.
[Please see the note on blinking above ... well played here, thanks!. Also note that the DM feels compelled to offer a note: Xenia, floating five feet off the floor, hiding in plain sight, and with exceptional skill checks, stands a very good chance of escaping detection as she spies. Wynn, on the other hand, would likely be noticed and attacked, were he to end up on the wrong side of the wall. Just a thought.]
Brahmah steps forward to I5 and swings over Syr's head, inflicting 44 damage -- not quite enough to kill it.
Syr destroys the undead that Brahmah hurt, and then steps forward to destroy the next one in line!

One with the shadows and silent as a ghost, the slim dark girl glides just over the heads of the milling undead. Don't look down. Don't look. The proximity is unnerving, but the rogue finally finds a clear spot just above the main magicker. His robes still drip in the goo from the tanglefoot bag. Looking up the corridors to the North and to the West, the dark rogue reports back to her sweetheart.

The bard once again attempts to penetrate the wall, and once again fails in the attempt, ending back where he started [4 hp damage].
"Cursed" he mutters under his breath."Xenia's gone scouting behind me, there's a cleric back there somewhere" he calls out to his companions.
The bard slips a vial from his belt pouch, pulls the stopper out with his teeth and downs the contents with a single swallow. The almond flavored liquid takes effect immediately and the bard's bruises and scrapes begin to heal [Cure Mod Wounds=11]

The halfling cleric scuttles back over to Florin. Belkior reaches out and casts a healing spell upon the undead hunter. The Cure Serious Wounds spell heals Florin so that he can stay in the fight for some time.

Feeling a tap on his shoulder, the elf turns around braced for an attack. Seeing the Minotaur he smiles reassuringly and gives a thumbs up before resuming the attack on the undead in front of him. (Attack 37,25,31,24,31 Damage 21,18,18,16,13=86)
Stepping over the dead undead (does that make sense?), Syr makes another move forward and peers around either corner looking for that piece of machinery which he saw earlier.
Moving Forward (Round 5) DM Cayzle d20+16=27 ; d20+14=17 ; d20+14=26 ; Friday November 28th, 2008 7:37:34 AM The Heros
Boldly, Xenia flies up at ceiling level, hovering over the undead, blinking in and out of the realm of shadows, hiding in plain sight. She ends her move over a robed figure in L14. She sees something odd -- the cleric, but not the three other robed figures with him, also has a grey cord that leads back toward the east.
Still wounded, Florin hits a fresh undead -- again for for 32 damage.
Wynn again tries to blink through the secret door, again materializing in the substance, rather than in the space behind it. He draws a potion and drinks.
Belkior heals Florin.
Brahmah motions to Syr to let him know that the Taur does not wish to squeeze into the narrow corridor before him. Maybe Syr will step back?
But Syr is unwilling to give up any hard-won ground. The monk destroys another undead and steps forward to the intersection. He sees the Blade Barrier ... and that he will have to squeeze past it to go further. He also sees undead to the north and south, ready to attack when he comes close. If he engages them with melee, he will have to do so while squeezing.
Harley stays ready to fight.
The Enemy
Wounded undead 16 -- damaged badly by Florin -- withdraws. Another undead takes its place with a charge: Those three attacks miss, though two come close.
Xenia sees that all the clerics are working to free the one who is gooped up. They draw daggers and are trying to scrape it away.

"Brahmah," Florin spares a glance at the situation behind him. "If you step over Belkior, you may be able to attack over my head. It won't be as convenient for you, but you won't be at risk of coming in contact with the disease."
Florin continues in his duty. His blows rain stronger upon this new undead. With hopes, this one will fall as from Wynn's description of Xenia's observations, their numbers seem legion. The Shields may be in for a battle of some considerable time.
(OoC Translation. You could move 5 ft north and still occupy the same space as Belkior and take a penalty for Squeezing, but still attack over Florin's head.)

"Wynn, this place is crawly with deaders. So far I only see four magickers, though. They're all clumped in this one spot."
"I'm gonna foozle 'em, Wynn." The rogue comes to a decision. "I can do this."
Blinking in and out of the Wold in the cover of shadow, she speaks a word that her wand knows, and with that word, flicks a tiny Splash of Acid at one of the nearby magickers becoming visible for a brief moment in the process. Even before registering the success of her hit, Xenia moves. She flees over the head of the Tangle Goo coated cleric, for all eyes to see headed back up the corridor down which she had come. Then she dives back into shadow and is gone. Hidden in the indistinct darkness, she banks and turns, back tracking to the corner from which she had begun her maneuver and eyeing the sea of enemies for anyone who might have spotted her ruse.

Syr Ac 35/34 HP 142 Friday November 28th, 2008 5:03:06 PM
Syr sticks his head out but not so far as to enter the blades and looks around. When he turns back to Brahmah, he shakes his head. Pointing north, he then signals with three fingers. That motion is followed by pointing south and displaying 7 fingers (OOC: I guess that he could only see 5 when looking around the corner.) He then shrugs at the minotaur and jogs back to assist Florin next round.
He lightly taps the paladin on the shoulder and asks, "Want to swap, I've been lucky so far and we may need to save Belk's spells for later?" If Florin moves to the side, He will take the paladin's spot on the map, otherwise he will be in H6.

At a loss for what to do, the minotaur wants to continue to help Syr, but doesn't want to deal with a narrow tunnel again, not even sure he can fit with the action going on in front.
He looks off to his left and sees Belkior and Florin dealing with their numbers. He moves back to H6/G6, and attempts to attack #17. (HIts AC 37, for 12 damage)

Florin Jadenth AC:27/29 vs Undead HP:69/134 (Sub/Al) Saturday November 29th, 2008 9:34:58 AM
"Alright. Get ready to switch, Syr." Through the eye slits in his visor, Florin stares down the undead as though willing it to give up its unnatural existance and drop to the floor.
"We'll change places on my mark, Syr. Count of three. One. Two. Three. Go."

The Heros
The pattern continues, as Florin power attacks a fresh undead -- but fails to destroy it, while inflicting 42 damage. Then he takes a five foot step back to let Syr take his place.
Xenia's Turn (For Wynn and Xenia only!) Highlight to display spoiler: {More boldly still, Xenia shoots a splash of acid from her wand at an enemy caster, hitting for 23 hp damage. She fakes in one direction then hides and doubles back, putting her impressive Hide check to good use.}
Brahmah takes a step northwest and reaches over Florin's head to hit the undead the undead hunter just wounded. The minotaur takes it down!
Syr looks around, then moves to step into Florin's spot.
Wynn blinks through the wall!
Xenia's Turn (For Wynn and Xenia only!) Highlight to display spoiler: {Wynn sees undead to his south, but none to his north. The two to his south lack grey cords ... Wynn might suspect that these are the two who he attacked earlier. They are not stunned, but they seem very eager to attack Wynn, as soon as he makes his presence known. He attacks and hits the undead next to him, inflicting 8 hp damage -- without dex, it is AC15.}
A note to blinkers! You know, of course, that per the item description, "On command, this ring makes the wearer blink, as with the blink spell." That mean the CL7 item must be reactivated after the seven-round blink duration has lapsed, if you choose to keep blinking. No worries on that score yet, but something to keep in mind. Also, moving through something is a move action, not a standard action, although if you fail to move through something, your movement ends -- exactly as Wynn has been playing it.
Belkior heals Florin again.
Harley continues to stand ready. [DM OOC: It's been a week Sunday since Harley posted. Has anyone heard from Matt C? Is he okay? I'll e-mail him.]
The Enemy
What Wynn sees (For Wynn only, and Xenia if the bard tells her, which he surely will). Highlight to display spoiler: {The cordless undead next to Wynn attacks him: a bite against AC21; a claw against AC28; another claw against AC32. The last is a potential critical ... but the follow-up only hits AC18. That's two potential hits, but the bard's 50% miss chance nullifies one of those. Wynn is hit for the minimum 5 hp damage, and he must make a fort save vs DC20 or be infected.}
For the Rest of the Party Only, Not Xenia and Wynn! Highlight to display spoiler: {No undead steps up to attack Syr. In fact, the one undead the monk can see at I4 backs away so that it is more than a five-foot step from the lethal monk, and out of sight.}
Xenia sees a funny thing. But she can communicate it ONLY to Wynn, and he cannot communicate it to the rest of the party! Therefore, the following is in spoiler tags for Wynn and Xenia only to read!
Please Highlight to display spoiler: {There is movement among the undead as a few come closer to fill in gaps. The undead, with the exception of the two cordless ones, reach up and grope around in the space above them and in the space next to them to the east (or north if there is wall to the east).
Per the DMG (see Invisibility under Special Abilities in the SRD): A creature can grope about to find an invisible creature. A character can make a touch attack with his hands or a weapon into two adjacent 5-foot squares using a standard action.
Each undead gropes around in two places. The clerics wait, evidently ready to cast spells it Xenia is found. But in L14, she is not above any of the undead.
Then the clerics grope. C1 gropes last, since he is the main caster, and hopes to cast a spell rather than grope. So, for reasons that are known only to the DM, C2 gropes and fails to find Xenia. C3 then gropes, and he DOES have a chance to locate the rogue. First, his miss chance of 50% -- an 18% -- he misses! Then it is C4's turn. He too can potentially find Xenia. His miss chance is a 68! He might find her! He needs to make a touch attack vs AC15 ... AC14! He missed! Xenia remains unfound!
Rather than grope around himself, caster C1 choses to cast a spell -- it is Obscuring Mist.
Wynn and Xenia -- please communicate in spoilers or e-mail only!}

Wynn and DM Only: Highlight to display spoiler: {"Wynn??? You alright, Honey?" The Wold is cloaked in uncertain fog, and the dark rogue bites at her lower lip in a gesture of deep misgiving.
Triggering the wand again, she aims at the same target that she hit last time, but this time scoring a hit directly into is face and eyes, a critical place for a strike. But the placement of the is not quite as devastating in this fog. Kicking off of the eastern wall, she shoots straight west before disappearing into the shadows just above her target.
"You will die in this place. Forsaken by your god." The rogue's voice is whisper from the dark, heading west down the corridor, then she banks, a sharp corner angle. Then again, and again, Xenia arcs in a circle that winds up directly over her target. Silent, she hides above it in the shadows.
"Wynn? You alright out there?"

They might be taking another tunnel around... wait..." He looks around just realizing two were missing. "...wait, where's the girl and that Wynn guy? How'd they get out?

Florin stretches abit and feels abit tired from all the fighting that he has just done.

The halfling cleric watches the doorways, expecting to see undead come charging through. When they don't, Belkior glances at his companions to determine how they are holding out. Then he concentrates for a moment on the magical connection to Xenia.
The Paragon then points vaguely off to the south-southeast and speaks.
"I don't know about Wynn, but Xenia is down that way about 35 feet. And maybe 5 feet or so above the floor. She isn't hurt or injured in any way."
"Let's wait and see what she and Wynn can tell us. Maybe the undead will keep coming to us, or maybe we'll have to go after them."

Xenia and Wynn
Highlight to display spoiler: {Xenia hits C3 again for 6 damage, or a total of 29. C3 is still up, but very wounded. Xenia taunts the casters and then flies about, ending her move silently at K14.
Wynn attacks! He hits twice, inflicting another 19 damage (27 total -- the creature is about half down). Wynn ponders the wisdom of retreating back to the party ... he knows that even though infected, it will be many hours, or days, before he even starts to show symptoms. Although he does not know when he will become infectious, that is, when his touch will be able to spread the disease.}
Brahmah, Syr, Harley, Belkior, and Florin
Highlight to display spoiler: {In the small chamber, Brahmah, Syr, Harley, Belkior, and Florin enjoy a tense but nervous respite from attack.
Brahmah is concerned about the now-absent Wynn and Xenia.
Florin reassures the minotaur.
Harley steps up to the corridor to the east and keeps watch. He sees a few strands of smoke or mist in M10.
Belkior consults his Status spell and determines that Xenia is in square K14 and is unwounded. He advises patience.
Syr moves up ten feet, and sees that there are at least four undead another 20 feet to the west.}
The Enemy
For Xenia and Wynn: Highlight to display spoiler: {The undead fighting Wynn continues to do so: all three attacks miss!
The undead and the clerics shuffle a bit so that each cleric is next to an undead. Then they grope around for the hiding rogue.
An undead reaches high into k14 and gropes around: a 26! That's a chance to hit! Then a touch attack -- which is, as the DM reflects, also subject to the 50% miss chance due to blinking. And as the undead gropes up, Xenia blinks away.
After the undead fail to find Xenia, the clerics give it a try. But first C1 casts a cure on C3. That provokes an AoO that Xenia might choose to take advantage of ... if she has a weapon handy, and if she chooses to reveal herself by so doing. I'll assume not.
C1 casts a cure, and C3 regains 21 hp. He is now down 8 hp.
The other clerics grope around. Another 50-50 chance for Xenia ... nope! She remains unseen.}
For the Rest of the Party Only, Not Xenia and Wynn! Highlight to display spoiler: {The undead watch Syr, but do not advance. Xenia remains unwounded.}

Florin looks to the others and thinks over things before speaking, "Well, if we knew that there wasn't to many left I would say we could move out but who knows how many more we might run into."
Florin frowns some as he continues thinking over everything, "However if we can keep the hallways blocked then we could easily fall back here again couldn't we?"
Florin shrugs and looks to Syr and the others to see their thoughts, if nothing else they could leave say Brahmah and someone back in this area just incase they need to fall back once more.

Xenia and Wynn
Highlight to display spoiler: {Xenia decides to strike off for the control room. She figures, based on her past travel, that she has about four minutes to go at top speed, blinking through obstacles. She follows the grey cords, moving fast.
[OOC: The DM notes that in the past, he allowed Xenis to blink through the walls when travelling toward the control room without requiring checks for appearing in a solid. However, he inconsistently did require such checks, following Wynn's lead, during the fight. In order to reconcile the discrepency, and for the sake of fairness to all, the DM rules that in combat, blinking through a solid that is exactly five feet thick dies require a check, but that out of combat, the blinker is better able to concentrate and time her movements, so no check is required. The DM hopes that this sounds fair. If not, please speak up.]
Wynn attacks again, hitting for 10 more (total 37). The bard tries to blink back, but fails. And boy does his head hurt!}
Brahmah, Syr, Harley, Belkior, and Florin
Highlight to display spoiler: {Syr advances, and the others hold the chamber in his absence..
Brahmah seems content to wait it out.
Florin seems careful, but considers the option of pressing forward to attack.
Syr moves forward to attack, and strikes hard at an undead for 14 damage. DM OOC: I advanced Syr on the map to F4.
Harley stays where he is and urges someone to keep an eye on Syr.
Belkior heals Florin a little more. His spell tells him that Xenia has moved off, fast, to the east.}
The Enemy
For Xenia and Wynn: Highlight to display spoiler: {The undead fighting Wynn continues to do so. The undead is still frisky, and it tries to bite and claw the bard. The teeth snap short, but the two claws hit, and the bard's blinking does not shield him. Wynn takes 6 and 9, for a total of 15 damage.
Xenia is not sighted or engaged by the enemy, at least not in the first round of her 40-round passage!}

Wynn retreats from the undead before him and finally blinks through the jammed door and back into the room where his companions were. "Stay away! Don't touch me!" he orders them. "I've been infected by whatever foul disease affects these undead...Xenia is headed for the control room. She thinks that whatever controls all these undead is in there. The hallway behind me is lined with undead, and there are at least two clerics further down where Xenia was scouting."
The bard reached for his belt pouch and consumes a potion found there. A wave of healing sweeps through his body. (CMW: 13 hp)

Florin glances down to Belkior and smiles to him before speaking, "Thanks Belkior for the healing. I think I'm good for now. Best to save some of your healing for later."
Florin has been wondering and calls out toe Syr, "Syr, hold up a moment. i been wanting to find out if these things can take arrows or not."
Florin speaks once more to Belkior, "I'm just dropping my sword and shield so watch out."
Florin will drop his sword and shield for the moment and get his bow ready for use.
(Dropping a weapon should be free action right and pulling and readying a weapon a full action? DM, move accordingly here please.)
Florin does call back out of curiousity, "Wynn, you said some undead unfriendlies are back that way you came. About how many, guess if nothing else please." Florin just wants an idea of how many more the group has to attend with at the moment.
Wynn [AC=26; HP=51/75] Blinking Thursday December 11th, 2008 8:43:25 PM
The bard thinks for a moment, "I saw at least three lined up in the hallway, but Xenia had a bunch more down around the corner. If I had to guess I'd say about ten in total. Two of the ones near me didn't have chords any more but they still fought!"
"What's our plan?" he calls out to Syr and the others.
Syr Ac 35/34 HP 135/142 e4 d20=9 ; Friday December 12th, 2008 12:21:51 AM
Hearing Florin's voice, the monk does as suggested and moves forward adjacent to the undead by skirting the wall (move 10'). If one of Florin's arrows comes near, he attempts to deflect it out of harm's way.
"Wynn, good to hear from you again. How about we let Florin test his theory first and then slowly take the fight to the enemy in teams of 2? Maybe Belk and Florin, you and I, and then Brahmah and Lang?" He smiles back to the others, "Anyone have any better ideas? What's Xenia say?"
Enemy in Retreat - Round 9 (DM Cayzle) Friday December 12th, 2008 8:43:10 AM
Syr advances to E4 and presses against the wall so Florin can shoot.
Florin drops his weapons (free action) and draws his bow (move action). He takes a shot at the undead in front of him -- with no penalty or cover bonus to the undead, even though Syr is in the way, because Syr took his whole round's action to make room for a clear shot.
Florin, please roll your attack. The undead is AC20. You can also post your next round's action at the same time. If you hit, you do normal damage.
Wynn, back with the party, asks about the plan.
Brahmah steps up, but does not squeeze into the corridor.
Harley and Belkior stay ready.
Xenia keeps flying.
The enemy undead -- including the one that may or may not have been hit my Florin's arrow -- retreat away around the bend. You might see a glimpse of one around the corner (see map).

Florin takes aim and fires a arrow at the undead.
(Can hit AC:28 Damage:6)
(OOC:Ignore the other rolls, wasn't thinking about how the undead moved around the corner so out of line of sight.)
Florin nods and will ready himself to move out, stowing his bow and grabbing up his sword and shield once more (I'm figureing he will have time to do this sine the enemy isn't exactly trying to rip us apart.)
Florin does call out so everyone knows for sure, "It seems arrows hurt these things well also so it might be a good idea to keep this in mind. Some of us might not have to put ourselves in direct infection trouble so quickly."
Florin does glance back to Wynn and speaks to him or atleast down the hall he is, "Hey Wynn, if needed I'll use my remove disease after this is over, so don't worry."

The halfling cleric will follow Florin.
Wynn [AC=26; HP=51/75] Blinking Sunday December 14th, 2008 5:24:52 PM
The bard prepares to follow the lead of Syr and the others.
"Don't think it'll do much good" the half-elf replies to Florin. "I didn't get the impression that it would be that simple, otherwise Jonas and the others would have thrown this off already."

Suddenly ... Round 11 (DM Cayzle) Monday December 15th, 2008 7:47:46 AM
Brahmah considers walking forward, but he has no place to move to yet. His friends are in the way.
Belkior and Wynn are ready to follow Syr and Florin, but the latter two hesitate.
Harley stands ready and repeats his call for a plan.
Xenia keeps flying toward the control room.
=====
Then, suddenly, an undead steps forward, stopping ten feet away from Syr. The cleric follows immediately after. The cleric casts a spell at Florin. Florin, please make a Will save vs DC22.

Florin frowns as the undead and the cleric come around the corner and tries to fight off the spell that is cast at him but is unable too.
Depending on the spell effects though Florin will make moves to get up there to aid Syr.
(Not sure if Florin can make a move after the spell so didn't want to go into a great deal of details on his movements. I can add to it depending on the spell or the DM can just move Florin.)

Syr jumps as the undead places itself in frnt of him. As he hears the priest chanting a spell, he wishes briefly for Brahmah's long reach to be able to affect the caster. Instead he steps forward and lays into the undead in front of him. (Attack 22,37,29,29,28 Damage 19,22,17,13,14=85)

The minotaur grits his teeth and begins moving in behind the others, hoping to be of some help.
Harley (AC 31; HPs 70/85) Tuesday December 16th, 2008 4:49:35 PM
Harley continues to watch the silenced corridor. He sees Brahmah follow after the rest of the group.
Not wanting to be left alone he trails after Brahmah.
OOC - when Harley can, he will move to I5 and take up a defensive postion there.
Wynn [AC=26; HP=51/75] d20+8=20 ; Tuesday December 16th, 2008 10:27:34 PM
Wynn hesitates a moment as the cleric casts his spell. Unsure what to expect the bard turns his mind to distracting the cleric from his evil intent. No longer blinking, he begins singing a ludicrous nursery rhyme about an elephant wearing a ladies bonnet. Mid-stanza, the bard hurls a small raspberry tart at the cleric to complete his spell

Belkior recognizes what spell the cleric cast but has no immediate method of dealing with it. He will simply have to watch Florin for any sign of the undead hunter being charmed.
So, instead, he decides to inconvenience the opposing cleric. He moves up right behind Syr and then invokes the divine light of Alemi. Hopefully his faith is enough to turn some of these undead.

Some Enchanted Evening ... Round 12 (DM Cayzle) d20+15=23 Wednesday December 17th, 2008 12:27:57 AM
Xenia keeps flying.
Brahmah feels frustrated at the tight confines. He steps forward into the corridor.
Florin fails to act at this point. (Sorry, my friend ... your initiative now comes with the enemies.)
Syr steps up five feet and destroys an undead creature.
Harley moves to I5 and gets ready to defend.
Wynn casts an enchantment of his own. The enemy cleric has a base Will save of +8 and has a +5 wis bonus and a magic circle against good that gives him another +2. His total Will save mod is a +15 for a DC14 spell ... he'll fail on a 1.Nope, the spell fails.
And he has spell resistance, per the spell, of 24, but that's moot seeing as he saved.
Belkior sends two of the undead scurrying away as he turns undead.
THE ENEMIES
The caster concentrates (a move action to command Florin) and then moves off 30 feet around that corner.
Florin feels compelled to follow the caster, and travels up to 60 feet to do so. The undead let him pass as if he were an ally.
A couple undead stay behind to act as rearguards. They are 15 feet from Syr.
