Marcas looks behind and sees most of his companions haven't moved into the alley; they are still strung out along the road! (ooc: at least that is what the map is showing...)
But the minotaur also sees the man on the roof sniping at his friends. "More can play than one slinger", the bull-headed man growls and raises his great longbow. Two arrows streak out, and one is able to nearly pierce his target in twain!

Sir John Monday September 14th, 2009 6:30:11 PM
Sir John calls out, "Keep moving everyone! We've cleared the way for you so get your hind ends out of those alleys!!!"
The man on the roof is probably still out of range for his javelin, so the paladin keeps moving forward, ensuring that the way ahead is clear. If he had a bow, things would be different... However, he has only his javelins for ranged weapons...
Speck AC18/19 HP:25(1)/26 Monday September 14th, 2009 11:09:11 PM
Speck husltes over to M25 and yells, "Slip-Slip your but down here" as he activates his wand. A coating of grease covers a 10'x10' foot area under the sniper's feet. Ballance check DC10 + any modifiers for being on a tricky roof with snow.
OOC: his wand range is 25ft. Without getting my geometry book out, (and starting some 3ft for Specks hight), i think he should reach the roof just under the sniper's feet, albeit he'd be at the max range.
Pretty sure you can reach. Grease is such a fun spell :) -DM Troy

Cedric decides two can play at this game. Moving to gain a better angle, he releases a sling bullet of his own. It doesn't really do much however, drawling little blood.
OOC: Move south Hit AC 24 for 1 damage.

Lucky begins to cast a long and complex spell. Marcas hits the foe with one arrow, piercing him deeply. Cedric's light bullet strike adds to the damage. Speck's attack however has a more dramatic effect.
As the grease begins to form under his feet, the assassin manages to remain standing for just a moment. However, the sloping incline and gravity take its toll. Sliding down the roof, the assassin falls off the roof. Attempting to land on his feet is as successful as remaining on the roof, and he lands prone south of Lucky, taking damage from the fall.
He recovers though, standing up and lashing out at Lucky. Oddly, he hits him with just his hand.
Now that you have a close up view of the aggressor you see a human male wrapped in dark clothing. Grey hair escapes from the edges of his cowl, and his steel blue eyes glare at you with malice.
OOC Just to explain the rolls: 23 reflex save: he remains standing. 14 Balance check, he falls off the now slippery roof. 1: fall west or east. 11 tumble to land on feet: fails. 8 falling damage.
We are in combat rounds: Round 5 Alley Combat Map Please move yourself on the map.
Enemy provokes AOO from Lucky and Speck. Lucky would loose the spell if he takes it.
Lucky is attacked by a unarmed strike from Enemy 1: Hit AC 21 for 3 damage. You will need to make a DC 13 concentration check or loose the spell. Lucky Highlight to display spoiler: { If the attack deals damage, please make a DC 14 Fortitude Save vs Poison or suffer 1 Constitution damage. In addition please make a DC 12 Fortitude save or be paralyzed for 3 rounds. You may make a will save DC 11 to read the next spoiler.}
Lucky Spoiler 2 (Read 1st spoiler before highlighting 2nd): Highlight to display spoiler: {The humanoid form wavers slightly, and you see an spectral illusion over him. Through the magical disguise, you can see taught, rotted skin over a skeleton. His sharp teeth are clearly dangerous, as are his claws. He has also used a non magical disguise to cover his appearance.}

He turns Joshua around and begins galloping back towards the group. For now, however, he'll cast Protection from Evil upon himself, boosting himself for a possible fight...
He'll try to listen (=7) and spot (20) any threats up ahead or around him... _____ Cast Prot from Evil, 24/24 rounds +2 resistance bonus to saves, +2 deflection bonus to AC
Lucky AC18 HP43 of 46 Tuesday September 15th, 2009 9:09:18 PM
Hey wait! He moved down the roof (move action) and stood from prone (move action). So how does he get an attack too?
OOC:He didnt move down the roof, he fell off it due to the grease. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
Speck AC18/19 HP:25(1)/26 d20+6=13 ; Tuesday September 15th, 2009 10:22:45 PM
OOC: Cedric, 'drawling little blood' is always fun, even if doesn't do much. :)
OOC: Well, if I'm going to go 'by the book', i don't really get an AOO, 'cause I don't have a weapon ready. Speck put his sling away to draw and use the wand. But, if you let me, Speck can whip out his whip and take a crack at wrapping it around the man's feet to prevent him from running away.
If he can use the whip: d20+6+1(Lucky) = 14 to wrap it around the assassin's legs.
If he can't use the whip: "AHA! You Slithering Sliding Slippery Slop! We have you surrounded! Resistance is Futile!"

OOC: Well, let me not delay the game. I'll put all my rolls out here, for the DM to use as he sees fit.
This reminds me that I need to roll for AC each and every round. My own bad. I'll roll for this round after resolving the attack.
Lucky starts with six luck points.
He is hit for three damage. He is down to 40 of 46 max.
If Lucky is attacked and needs to make a concentration roll, then he puts five luck points into the roll, which jumps from +6 to +11. At +11, he rolls a 30 -- no problem, he makes it. His spell is not interrupted. And his Luck Points are now up to 7.
Then there is a DC14 Fort save. His normal fort is a +9, and he boosts that with +3 Luck Points, so he is a +12. He rolls a natural 1 -- a failure! He takes the point of Con damage and loses his luck points. His Con is now 11, and he is now down to 32 hp of 38 max. And his Luck Point are down to 4.
Then he has to make a Fort save vs DC12. He uses one Luck Point on the roll, and at +10, rolls a 19, no problem. He is now up to 5 Luck Points.
Then, there is a Will Save. Using no Luck Points, at his natural +15, he rolls another 19, and makes it.
Finally, there is a Spot check vs DC15. Lucky has a natural spot of +9, and he puts four Luck Points into the check, rolling a 16 -- enough for success! That gives him back the points he put into the roll, and one more to boot.
Now it is the end of the attack on Lucky, and he has 6 Luck Points.
Now it is Lucky's turn!
Lucky rolls his AC for the round: AC23
At the top of his round, Lucky finishes his spell and calls what would normally be 1d3 celestial eagles. But he pumps five luck points into the roll, using them up and leaving him with just a single Luck Point. But his roll for number of eagles is now 1d3+5. He rolls 8 celestial eagles! Within the range of the spell, he calls them to a point 35 feet up over himself and the enemy.
Lucky spends a move action commanding his eagles in Celestial, and shouting to his friends too.
To his eagles, he tells four to search nearby for enemies. He tells four to dive to attack this undead thing right here.
To his friends, he shouts, "This think is some kind of undead in disguise! Watch out for its poison! It is a skeleton, so try to crush it!
If he can do it as a free action, Lucky makes a Know Religion check to figure out what kind of undead this is, and what it might be able to do: a 13.
Lucky takes a five foot step back and throws a magic stone at the undead! His attack is at +10, and he hits AC 24. His magic stone, designed to hurt undead, inflicts 10 damage to the undead.
Then his four eagles attack! They are diving (search for dive on this page; it is like a charge that does double damage.)
His four eagles attack at +2 diving, and they are flanking, and they use their Smite Evil ability. They move to these squares to attack: N25, M26, N27, M27. They attack at +7, hitting AC21, AC12, AC12, and AC21 -- the ones who hit AC21 inflict 6 hp damage and 7 hp damage.
The remaining four eagles circle overhead, within 40 feet of Lucky, looking for enemies. Their spot checks: 21, 35, 32, 35.
I have placed/moved Lucky and the four attack eagles on the combat map. With Speck, they are surrounding the undead, so it will have a hard time escaping.

OOC sorry about my absence! I am back!
Ki watches as the enemy falls from the roof, the half-elf shows his exitement. He begins his incantations and flowing gestures. As he ends his spell three red and black energy missiles, shaped like thick arrows, plow into the poison slinging opponent. Ha!!! Ki screams as he sees the missiles slam into the person. After his spell, Ki makes his way toward Sir Jon, squeezing past Marcas and getting through the alley, away from the enemy.

Cedric moves to block the only remaining route of escape for the assassin. Not willing to risk firing into a group, and saving his last wildshape, he simply acts as a body.
Alley Combat Aftermath d3=2 ; d3=2 ; Thursday September 17th, 2009 11:18:44 AM
Ki'El and Lucky fall victim to the assassins poison. The first is weakened, the second less healthy.
The assassin crumples under the combined attacks of the party. A tense few seconds pass, but it soon becomes clear that if there are other ambushers, they are not going to reveal themselves yet.
Getting a good look at your attacker, you can plainly see he now appears undead, with dry rotted skin stretched tight over bones. Makeup and other such disguise techniques are clearly applied in an attempt to allow it to pass as human, although something is now missing. You are positive just moments before his face was far more human looking. Perhaps a magical disguise of some sort that faded when it was destroyed? At a glance, it is carrying equipment that might be of interest, including a chain shirt that seems to be of fine quality.
OOC: Combat rounds are over. Lucky and Ki'El are poisoned, and may suffer further effects.
Lucky: Highlight to display spoiler: {Knowledge Religion: You are fairly certain this was a ghoul, though it was tougher and well trained as a rogue. OOC: Advanced Ghoul with at least a few rogue levels.}
Ki'El HP:35/35 AC: 14 Thursday September 17th, 2009 11:53:30 AM
Ki breathes heavily, the poison sapping his strength. Why would some zombie attack us? And how in all the Wold did zombie do everything that thing just did? I know zombies as heartless, mindless listen-to-orders-type of undead. That was crazy!
Ki limps away, mumbling to himself about the absurdity of zombies shooting crossbows and climbing houses, and what kind of stuff the group has gotten into before he came along...
Lucky AC23 HP32 of 38 (1 pt Con Damage) Thursday September 17th, 2009 1:06:30 PM
Lucky answers Ki'El -- "That was no zombie. That was a ghoul, with some stealth training, I would say. Ghouls are not mindless at all."
"We should press on with all due speed to the graveyard."
Marcasthai AC 17 HP 65/84 (SteveK) Thursday September 17th, 2009 2:45:46 PM
Marcas agrees. He'll pick up the weapons and armor of the dead thing and put it in his pack for carrying. "Let us go! Every heartbeat, a person the Raven has claimed is my dam is being tortured and is in pain!"
The minotaur leads the way back to the alley and then back on trail to the metal graveyard on a parellel track.
Ki'El HP:35/35 AC: 14 Thursday September 17th, 2009 3:56:09 PM A ghoul huh? Now that is something new.. Yes, lets make haste. Ki follows closly on the minotaurs heels, eager to see what the graveyard holds, and see to that Marcas's family is avenged.
Speck AC18/19 HP:25(1)/26 d8+1=5 ; Thursday September 17th, 2009 7:13:23 PM
With a satisfied flourish, Speck puts away his wand. "Handy little thing," he mutters smugly.
He then whips out another and taps Lucky with it. "BE HEALED!" he cries.
OOC: Lucky is touched by a wand of CLW for d8+1 = 5 healing points.
Sheathing the wand, he pulls out his sling and mutters, "Not gonna be caught uprepared again".
And is now ready to keep moving.
Sir John, AC 23, Prot from Evil, 58/58 hp Friday September 18th, 2009 12:16:24 AM
Since the battle is over, Sir John turns and says, "Then let us move on! Marcas, would you care to lead the way with me, my erstwhile friend?"
To their poisoned and weakened friends, he says, "We need to get you healed before we go to the graveyard. I don't want to go into a fight with 2 of our number injured... We should seek a healer unless Speck can remove the poison..."
Lucky AC23 HP32 of 38 (1 pt Con Damage) Friday September 18th, 2009 2:37:22 PM
"That's right! I'm poisoned! I'm poisoned! Help! Help!"
Lucky starts running around in a circle.
Then he stops. "Hey wait! If it does any more damage, I'll heal it! I have a Lesser Restoration spell ready to cast!"
He waits to see if he has to make another save.

OOC: Marcas picked up the weapons and armor but no one has actually searched the thing.
IC: "Hmm... wonder if this thing had anything to on itself to fight poison, or a map, or something," Speck muses.
While Marcas takes the thing's weapons and other stuff, Speck inspects the body.
Search d20+7=8. I guess he was searching in the dark, or Marcas' breath was making him woozie.

You can't take it with you. (Alley Combat Aftermath) d3=1 ; d3=1 ; Sunday September 20th, 2009 9:00:42 AM
The party searches through their foes remains, and finds some things of interest. Marcas pulls off the weapons and armor, while Speck does a more thorough search. You can see that it's right claw seems to have a bluish sticky residue on it.
Lucky and Ki'El feel a bit woosy as the poison seeps through their veins. Lucky feels he can cure whatever damage comes, and Cedric delays further damage on Ki'El.
Most members of the party encourage haste in getting to their destination.
OOC: Ki'El please make a DC 14 fortitude save. Although it's delayed 8 hours, you will suffer 1 additional Str damage when the spell wears off if you fail.
Lucky please make a DC 14 fortitude save or suffer Unconsciousness for 1 hour.
List of things you find: Marcas: 1 chain shirt of very fine make, a dagger, a sling, and 18 sling bullets of very fine make, 2 of which have some sort of sticky substance on them, likely the poison

"No", responds the minotaur, "no delays over looted equipment. Instead, we make haste to the graveyard."
Marcas lets actions follow words and keeps the items he grabbed inside his HHH. Instead, he moves off 20 feet following the map, and then looks to see that everyone is following.

"Hey! Watch out! That gooey stuff is the poison," Speck warns as they pile the loot and Ki'El casts his spells.
Once Ki'El is finished, he scoops up all the lighter stuff (that would be everything except the chain chirt) taking great care with the two covered in poison (ie, not using his bare hands to handle them), and puts them in his backpack.
"Let's go. Time's a waisting."

"Yes, let's make haste, seconds matter." says the druid as he moves down the alleyway with the party.
Osgood's Graveyard - Outskirts. Twilight Tuesday September 22nd, 2009 9:25:44 AM
Speck is able to determine some more information on the items with a quick spell, but a more detailed answer must wait till there is time. Lucky is able to shake off the drowsy effects of the poison, and cure the damage done. Ki'El is still suffering some weakness, but his power does not lie in strength of arms, and the party pushes on.
The party continues to follow the directions, moving through places both open and cramped, seedy and respectable. You leave the city proper, and come to the edge. No further ambushes come en route, and you arrive at the outskirts of the 'Graveyard'.
The name is both misleading and true. While not a conventional grave yard, it is the final resting place of many. It is clear a great battle was fought here. The wreckage of several siege weapons litter the ground, half buried by years of abandonment. Some stone and wooden buildings, evidence of stronger fortifications, lay in ruins at various places. The battlefield is strewn with rocks, debris and garbage. The entire area is surrounded by a tall fence, with one archway serving as an entrance. A creaking noise pulls your attention to the archway, where a rusted metal sign reading "Osgood's Graveyard" swings with the falling snow.
You feel an involuntary shiver as you look about this desolate place, though it's probably just the cold of twilight catching up with you.
Approaching the archway, you find the gate locked.
OOC: Please make your standard environmental fortitude saves for exposure.
Opening the gate: Lock is DC 15 to pick, or DC 20 Str check to break the lock/gate Climbing the fence: You may climb the fence easily enough, but make a DC 10 climb check or suffer 1d3 damage from the rusted metal. Failing the check still allows you to get over the fence.

"Erie indeed, Ki'El. No one ventures about in here but the dead. And according to the townsfolk, the dead roam the place. At the time I was here with the circus, I remember hearing something of it but was not interested and pretty much forgot about it until now."
Shivers and goose bumps crawl over his skin. Was it just cold out or was it realy cold out? Either way, he expells a cough due to the irritating soot and his breath forms a small white cold looking cloud.

Cedric follows the party, looking about for signs of trouble, shivering as the cold starts to bother him.
Osgood's Graveyard - Inside the gate. Twilight Wednesday September 23rd, 2009 6:47:18 PM
Some of the party members shiver from the cold as they ponder the gate for a moment. You do not have to wait long however, as Ki'El chooses a magical solution. The iron lock opens with a click, and the gate creaks loudly as the party moves into the graveyard.
As you move further from the gate, you begin to feel a pervasive sense of dread, as if the very land is watching you malevolently. The feeling builds as you move further in.
After several minutes, you begin to make your way up slight knoll. Cresting the top, you can see below you about a hundred yards off what must have been where the main fighting occurred. Several buildings lay before you, all in ruins. A wall, the remains of some sort of fortification runs across the field. Broken siege engines litter the area in front of the wall. It would be difficult to travel through the area where they are scattered.
OOC: Sense of Dread: Everyone suffers a -1 morale penalty to attack rolls and saving throws. This is a mind affecting effect. In addition, immunity to fear makes you immune to this penalty.

Despite his great worry over his mother or maybe because of it, Marcas feels a growing sense of his own mortality. He can't shake it, so the great minotaur endures it until the group of heroes get to the bare knoll.
His black eyes pierce the landscape, but he still has no idea where to go. A couple of hoof prints towards the center of the 'graveyard', and Marcas looks to the others to see if this is indeed the proper course of action.

Sir John stops and looks all around their area, sensing a general evilness about the place, but nothing in particular...
Luckily his immunity to fear protects him from the sense of dread about the place, and he worries about its effect upon his companions... He calms Joshua, patting him on the flanks and whispering softly to him...
He looks in all directions, hoping to spot whatever dangers exist... Spot = 9

Ki moves just behind Marcas and Sir Jon. Silently, he succumbs to the places evil aura. He visibly shivers, caused by the sense of Dread, and this makes him keep on Marcas' heels, staying very close to the taur. i don't like the looks of this place, not a place for one of good nature. He whispers to his horned companion.
As the two walk toward the center of the 'graveyard', Ki`El also peers around the forbodeing place. Perking his sensitive ears, and attempts to study the walls of the ruins.

Feeling the warmth and comfort of the healing of his wand does nothing to stave off the dismality of the place. He shivers, not for the cold this time, but for the icy cold fingers of death that wrap the place.
He looks around and sees the same effect on his friends. "Tum-de-dum-de-tum. Why couln'd we come, in the daytime for once?"
Looking for tracks in the snow...

Osgood's Graveyard - The Knoll. Twilight Thursday September 24th, 2009 1:23:29 PM
The party contemplates the next move from atop the knoll. Looking around for tracks in the snow proves futile, the party finds none except the ones they have made coming from the gate. However, while tracks are not found, one odd thing is. While looking for tracks, Lucky trips over something hidden by the snow. Pulling it out he finds an old wooden table leg, with ornate silver inlay. Once part of a fine table, it now is just a cast off relic in the graveyard.
OOC: 30 minutes have passed since the combat with the assassin. The party is currently standing on the knoll, marked on the map in green. Osgood's Graveyard

"Yes, you are correct," Speck concurs. "But shouldn't we try to flank the buildings? Yo's with faster legs see about going around behind the buildings while we approach the front. However, let's not barge down there. Let's meander a bit and give time for the flanking maneuver."
In line with that, Speck acts like he sees something somewhat in the direction, but off by a bit, of where he saw the movement and points at 'it'. "What's that thing?" he yells. "Let's see what it was and if it still works!"

The party moves closer to the battlefield center, having spied....something.. Whatever it was, it is now hidden from view. There is a distinct impression that something watches the party from among the ruins.
Tense seconds tick by with no sound but the wind and crunch of your own footfalls on the snow.

The party advances on the buildings, eyes and ears sharp. Some members move into a flanking position, while others advance directly up the center. Some remain on the edge, ready to support from range.
The chilling breeze whistles through the smashed metal and wooden engines of destruction. There is no movement.
Then a figure covered in dark clothing steps from around the building, visible to Marcas, Sir John and Ki'El. He calls out to you in a harsh voice. "Why have you come here? The Spider does not want you here. Turn around."

Lucky AC23 HP40 of 46 LAST ROUND! Tuesday September 29th, 2009 2:28:06 PM
Hey! As soon as that dark figure steps out, its appearance triggers Lucky's readied attack, right? And the halfling pegs him with a magic stone!
That's about 90 feet from Lucky, so -2 on range and no Point Blank bonus. Also forgot the -1 from dread. So Lucky hits AC22 for 3 hp or 8hp if it is undead, right?
Your readied action is for the moment you see an enemy. Lucky can not see him, he is behind the building currently. Although reviewing the map, I think its fair to add Marcas to the list of people who can see the speaker. Also, I will mention that he hasn't done anything overtly hostile. Not that its unreasonable for Lucky to consider the speaker an enemy given the situation. -- DM Troy

We're looking for a friend of ours who got lost somewhere around here. Maybe you could help us? Also, we don't know who this spider person is, but if we're trespassing, we're very sorry.

His eyes dart back and forth under his cowl. "We can not help you. Go away, this is no place for you. You will make the Spider angry." From under the folds of his clothes he pulls out a small hand crossbow. He keeps it pointed at the ground however. "Leave!" he says abruptly. "Now"

He continues trying to detect any evil, and realizing that there is some intense evil in front of him, says to his friends in a lower tone, "Guys, I think this character in front of us is evil, and I'm getting a strong sense of evil, especially in front of us..."

And then Sir John charges the man. Marcas immediately springs into action and runs north around the first building. The big minotaur knows Sir John can handle one small person, so the objective is to get to the building as quickly as possible!

Then marcas yells, Building to the north and charges for it. Sir Jon whips by the sorcerer and attacks the figure.
Ki moves to a better spot to fling his spells from, the sorcerer chants quickly in the elven tounge, speeding through his gestures of this simple spell, and ends up with his hand outstretched, wiggling his fingers. Launching three red and black swirled energy missles at the dark clothed figure. Each slamming into the crossbow bearing thing. You should have just talked to us, but NO! your must threaten people, now you'll die! The half-elf smiles at the thought of killing an evil man... No more destruction from him anymore...

Sir John begins aggressive negotiations with the figure, charging him and skewering him with his lance. Josh's hoof does not manage a hit however, turned aside by your foes chains shirt.
Ki'El launches a magical attack, striking the foe as well. It looks quite hurt.
The rest of the party moves up, and Speck shouts a warning about the building. A warning that comes too late for Sir John!
From the building directly north of Sir John comes the sound of shifting stone. Suddenly the second story wall comes tumbling down on those standing under it! Behind the wall stands three more figures, also dressed in dark clothes, but not disguised. You can see their undead faces snarl at you from above.
Around the further buildings come two more figures dressed in dark clothing, also undead. From the snow behind the wall springs one more undead. All advance on the party!
Lastly, scuttling into view on the wall of one of the towers, about twenty feet up, comes a figure straight out of nightmares. When it was alive, it was probably already a creature that would give grown adventures pause: dark skinned, with the upper body of a male elf, and the torso of a large arachnid. In undeath, its dark skin rotted and tight across its torso, its carapace molted with disease, it is an absolute terror. It wears a chain shirt, and a vestment over its chest is emblazoned with a red and black double helix. There is no doubt: this is Spider.
It hisses at you. "You were warned fleshlings. Now suffer my vengeance." From its vantage point, it casts a spell, sapping your luck.

Enemy at last, and they are keeping Marcas from an innocent's rescue, an innocent that might be his own mother! It is a great effort of will for the minotaur not to give in to anger and frustration, but his battle conditioning takes over. Years of study as a Hand of Imod makes his muscles move in conditioned reflex to end the travesty of life before him.
Marcas keeps his distance from E6 and powers two wicked slashes with his Ranseur at the undead body. So powerful that, should they hit, the grinning ghoul is sure to perish! "Kiiiia!!
If Marcas is able to cleave the enemy before him, he takes a small step. With his size and reach with his ranseur, the boss is in range, and he strikes directly at the Spider! This time, he carefully aims, sure that this boss has better protections than his minions.

OOC: Speck probably doesn't see E7. How high is the broken wall he and E7 are next to?
Speck now sees that it is an ambush and trap orchestrated by undead. This Raven had undead attack them in the slums, now undead here. Oh, it is a graveyard! Doh!
Having much experience now with undead, Speck curses under his breath, "Undead! Won't they ever finally all die off?" The whole sense of the place unerves him and the others must be feeling much the same. Remembering a spell he learned from his bardic mentor who repeated every day, "Fear is your greatest enemy", he had taken certain precautions against that. Although he used the spell to combat the fear of performing before hundreds, or at great hights, hear was as good a place as any to use it as well.
Speck steps forward 5ft to R28 and calls out, "Cedric, may the Force be with you", and thrusts his palm forward. (Cast Remove Fear, duration 10 minutes, range 30ft - Cedric is right at 20, Target one creature, Effect - surpress any Fear Effect already in effect for 10 minutes, grant +4 moral bonus against Fear Effects for 10 minutes.)

Ki looks around as the wall falls, and four more enemies show themselves. All appearing to be undead monstrosities. The spider elf thing, assumed to be Spider, is throwing around spells! What have I gotten myself into? The sense of dread about the place don't help his thinking, or his spirit... He quickly understands that a spell caster must be fought with, well, a spell caster.
The half-elf moves northwest a bit, keeping his distance but getting a clear view of most of the enemies., he stamps his Glaive on the ground, goes through familiar incantations and wiggles his fingers yet again. FIring three more energy missiles, this time aimed at the Spider.

The party engages fully, committing themselves to combat.
Marcasthai delivers two powerful blows, but the attacks are turned aside. A rend in its clothing reveals that it is wearing a chain shirt, which has saved it. Both of Marcasthai's attacks miss. Lucky releases a magic stone, which strikes Spider soundly and burns his undead flesh, and then moves into a better position. Sir John and Josh lay into the enemy in front of them, and it falls under their combined attacks. Speck bolsters Cedric, clearing his mind of the fear that haunts most of the party, at least for a short time. Ki'El unleashes a magical attack, striking Spider with three bolts of force. Cedric uses his new-found courage to attack, striking two solid blows against his target.
The enemy retaliates just as ferociously.
The three above the battle field in the ruins of the building draw crossbows and fire! The rest of the undead advance and attack their targets with claws and teeth.
Spider climbs up a bit further on the tower, seeing the reach of the minotaur below it. But his eyes are focused on Lucky. It is clear he did not like the bullet. He casts a spell, and a dagger shaped weapon of force appears and attacks Lucky.

As the armored ghould closes on Marcas, the minotaur uses his long reach
Marcas grits his broad teeth upon seeing the chain shirt on the undead, and then breaks into a sweat as the small scratch nearly poisons his muscles into freezing.
But the armored ghoul did not escape from his attack unpunished. As the fiend closed in on Marcas, the minotaur used his long reach to tag the undead with an elbow to the head. (AOO: AC 22 Dam 13
"Your armor won't save you this time", the minotaur growls, "go back to death by the Hand of Imod!"
Less power and more accuracy, that is the key. Marcas takes a step backwards to bring into play his ranseur and lets fly in two glittering arcs.

Lucky laughs at the enemy's spiritual weapon (as he deduces it probably is) -- its attack on AC19 misses Lucky's AC28.
This round, Lucky rolls his AC: a natural 1! His AC, vs these undead things, is only 16! "That'll teach me to laugh," Lucky says, laughing.
Spellcraft check: 12 = nope.
Lucky throws another magic stone at Spider. He is within 30 feet, so he gets his point blank bonus. He decides to push his luck, and packs five luck points into the roll! But he still has -2 in penalties, so he is a +14 in total. He hits AC20. If that is a hit, he inflicts 9 hp damage.
Then Lucky moves to V14 and hides behind Marcasthai. (Hoping for some soft cover bonus, maybe.)

He takes a dive towards Ki'El (Tumble 1/2 move DC15 d20+10=26, no AOO from E7) and ends up at Q26.

Ki smiles as the spider thing casts its rudimentary spell Likes magic huh? Lets see how these undead vermin like this!
He carefully preforms one of his most complex spells. His arms waving intricatly, fingers going about specific determined routes in the air, and nearly screams his anceient elven incantations.
After a few seconds a medium sized sphere erupts from his opened palm, the ball ignites itself and the swirling flames envelope the sphere. Ki points his finger to the first of the undead standing atop the cumbled building (E4). The flaming sphere obeys and flys to its intended target, buring what flesh is left on the hideous abomanation.
Actions: Spell: Flaming Sphere (Lasts 6 more rounds) Move actions: Direct Flaming Sphere Highlight to display spoiler: { A burning globe of fire rolls in whichever direction you point and burns those it strikes. It moves 30 feet per round. As part of this movement, it can ascend or jump up to 30 feet to strike a target. If it enters a space with a creature, it stops moving for the round and deals 2d6 points of fire damage to that creature, though a successful Reflex save negates that damage. A flaming sphere rolls over barriers less than 4 feet tall. It ignites flammable substances it touches and illuminates the same area as a torch would.
The sphere moves as long as you actively direct it (a move action for you); otherwise, it merely stays at rest and burns. It can be extinguished by any means that would put out a normal fire of its size. The surface of the sphere has a spongy, yielding consistency and so does not cause damage except by its flame. It cannot push aside unwilling creatures or batter down large obstacles. A flaming sphere winks out if it exceeds the spell's range. }

Marcas lands one solid hit on the undead in front of him, but it's not enough to end the abomination. Sir John lands an attack on one of the ghouls slightly above him, able to reach it from the height of his saddle. Lucky tries another attack on Spider, but his shot fails to land. Speck raises the morale of the party with his bardic gifts. Ki'El conjures a flaming sphere to attack the same foe as Sir John, burning it. Cedric continues to maul his foe, his last hit causing it to fall.
The undead retaliate. All but one of the crossbowmen shift to natural attacks, trying to stop the paladin. Through divine providence, only one bite manages to land. The remaining crossbowman reloads and attacks Ki'El, but its shot goes wide. Marcas's foe shifts in close again, and manages to bite the minotaur. Speck's foe continues to advance on him, but is unable to sink its teeth in.
Spider again casts a spell, and a swarm of angry hornets descend on Ki'El. They sting him over and over.

You are correct, but I missed it so this round is free. But no, no need for defensive, it only attacks on the casters turn, it cant take AOO's

Marcas decides he's had enough of the civilized weaponry and smashes a hoof in his foes face. The creature buckles and falls, done in by the brutal strike. Lucky heals the proud warrior, bringing him into prime fighting shape. Speck continues to avoid his foe while singing to inspire his allies. Ki'El directs his flaming sphere to attack the next foe down the line, but this one manages to twist out of the way and avoid the flame. He then turns his crossbow to Spider, but the attack is deflected by the creatures hide. Sir John lands a solid hit on the nearest undead. It stands unsteadily, but it still stands. Cedric moves to shield Speck and Ki'El, landing a solid paw on the undead.
Another foe fallen, but the battle continues.
The foes above Sir John continue their attacks. The first one managages to land a solid bit that might have been much worse. The second sneaks a claw in on the paladin. The crossbowman manages to land a glancing blow on Ki'El. Cedric does not fare as well as Sir John: his undead claws the bear, and follows up with a deep bite. The dagger summoned by Spider attacks Lucky twice, but only manages to land one attack.
Above the battle, Spider laughs. He yells out "May the Lady of Vengeance grand me the strength to remove this obstacle". He then casts another spell, and seems to surge with strength.

Sir John grunts in pain as he's hit yet again... Now that he's suffering from multiple wounds, he calls out to Lucky, "If you have a chance, I could use some healing!!! It's 3 vs. 1 here, and even though I like these odds, I need a hand!"

With his 20 feet of move, Lucky Eddie can't get to Sir John this round. So he rolls his AC: a 33! This emboldens the little mendicant! He ducks between Marcas' legs, moving to U18. Then he casts his Sanctuary spell. The Will save on the spell is normally 1d20+5, but Lucky puts a luck point into that, making it d20+6 ... a 20, sweet.

Marcas grins, glad his foe is destroyed, and he takes a quick tactical assessment of the battlefield. The Spider is on its wall and getting ready for a showdown, but the three ghouls on the roof are making life difficult for his allies to get to the main fight...
The big minotaur grunts. It would be so satisfying to attack the Spider, but husbanding the resources of the group comes first. A flexing of his massive legs, and Marcas launches himself upward in a high jump to grab ahold of the roof and then pull himself up in a feat of Strength.
With his Ranseur at the ready, he holds the ghouls at bay. "Come dead things", he growls, "and move no more!"
Any ghoul (E2, E3, E4) that fires a crossbow or moves towards Marcas gets an AOO.

'Yipee!' Speck thinks as the lumbering bulk of a fuzzy bear intervenes beween him and the undead. Then his thoughts follow with 'uhoh' as the undead tears into the fuzzy bear.
"Sorry, big guy!" he says as he pauses in his poetry. Not to let Cedric down, Speck puts himself right behind the undead (Q27 creating one AOO. Note AC for AOO is 19+1(dodge) +4(mobility)=24).

Sir John overcomes the undeads attack and counterattacks with two solid hits. The first one drops the nearest foe, and he continues to the next foe down the line with a second savage chop. Luckily moves to heal his party, casting a protective spell as he does so. Ki'El seeing his planned target fall, directs the flaming sphere against the same foe he hit last attacked, burning it, then launches magic missiles at Spider, striking him soundly. With a great leap, Marcasthai positions himself to threaten most of the remaining foes. Speck slashes the foe between him and Cedric, landing a good hit. Cedric takes the opportunity provided by Speck to land three savage hits, which dropes the undead.
The first undead continues its attack on Sir John, but its frustration decreases its accuracy, and it can not land bite or claw. The crossbowman drops his bow, and steps over to Marcasthai, attacking three times but only managing one hit.
Spider seems to loose interest in Lucky, and the floating dagger of force moves to a new target: Ki'El. It slashes at him once, landing a good hit. Spider then casts a spell, and its wounds seem to close.

Sir John cheers as his first foe falls, and continues his attack on the 2nd. He quickly looks back at Lucky and thanks him for the needed healing. "Thank you my friend... I will honor your healing and as a famous commercial once said, 'This foe's for you...""
With that, he cuts and slashes again at E3, using the edge to sever its remaining limbs...

Marcas again overcomes the ghoulish poison and concentrates on bringing his undead foe down. A powered elbow connects to E4, a hoof misses, and a dip of the horns comes real close.
The large minotaur waits for his foe to fall so he can reach over and cleave E3 in half!

Ki watches his intended target fall, and keeps his fireball burning the orginal foe, casting his missiles at the spider he doesn't even notice the magical sword coming his way. The half-elf staggers from the blow, Wha? He growls as his side is cut open, spewing blood over the snowy ground...
He tries to ignore the attack, moving his flaming ball to the spider, burning the undead abomination. He then fires three more magical missiles at the spider. Lucky? Care to share you godly powers?

Lucky moves over under the protection of his spell and heals the stalwart paladin. Sir John responds by hacking his foe hard, getting in a good shot. Marcas becomes a whirl of hoof elbow and horn, oblitering the nearest undead, and moving on to the one closest to Sir John, destroying it as well. Ki'El, seeing the lesser undead fall, devotes his full attention to Spider. While the beast is able to dodge the firery sphere, he takes the full blast of the magic missles. Speck, seeing his intial target downed, turns his attack to Spider as well, but his shot can not pierce the creatures carapace. Cedric takes a moment to heal Ki'El.
Which is good, because moments later the spiritual weapon slices the half elf, drawing considerable blood.
With no more foes to hide behind, Spider brings the fight to the ground. It leaps off the roof and lands next to Sir John, landing a visious bite.

Sir John turns to the remaining spider and laughs in it's face, trying to enrage it and get it's attention away from spell casting... "Is that the best you can do? Come on and quit wasting my time! I've got better things to do than mess with you..."

Marcas' bellow comes from the building above, "By the Hand of Imod!", and a shadow blocks out what little sun there is in the snowy and soot-filled sky. The large minotaur has Jumped from the roof of the building to attack the Spider on the ground!
A runnning start on the roof allows him to easily jump 25 feet away, leaping over the heads of Sir John and the Spider, and coming down with arms wide to grasp and hold.
A meaty hand snakes out and grabs a spider leg, but the speed of the minotaur's decent breaks the hold and keeps the black spider-taur from falling into the strong embrace of Marcasthai!
