[ShineyDuck]

Starring up at Vanthus Ophelia narrows her eyes.

You will pay for this you worm.

Her voice is calm collected yet full of malicious intent. She locks him with a wicked glare, not an once of her usual friendly look about her at all, her fists clenched tightly.

Evil Eyes him targeting Armour Class.

[DrK]

Even as Teach hacks down the first zombie in a single chop Solomon readies for the next - a massive thrust of the sword as he tucks down behind his shield. A prayer to Saranrae as the sword begins to glow a dull blue...

Solomon attacks the next one
Judgement of +1 Damage
Attack (1d20+5)[7]
Damage (1d8+4)[10]

[Luke GG]

Darth will wait and assist where he can as there is no space to move in.

[DrK]

Even as Solomon fumbles his attack the zombie lunges forward trying to tear out his throat...

Spoiler

Show

Attack (1d20+4)[22] Damage (1d6+3)[6]

Even as the that happens the other zombies withdraw, a whispering moan somewhere in the main chamber calling them back - a cool dead intelligence not stupid enough to force the zombie minions down the corridor.

Above them all Vanthus shrugs. "Enjoy your tombs you poor fools. I shall enjoy moving back into my home." The door above slamming shut seconds later as the bastard seals you in.

Spoiler

Show

The zombies withdraw! But there is 1 still there!

[ShineyDuck]

Stareing up as he closes the door above Ophelia looks livid and quite terrfiying screaming a curse at him in a bestial tongue

[I]in abyssal/I] Plague and eternal torment is too good for you, you worthless sack of living effluence!

...and the door slams shut cutting her off leaving her fuming with anger.

Turning back to the others and assessing their bleak situation she reaches a hand out, barging past Teach a little taking out her wand with her tail to use on Soloman, stretching it through the gap if she can.

Out of my way James, quick!

He voice more desperate to help than maim and rend now

[Luke GG]

Darth will eye up to climb to the trap door.

Spoiler

If he thinks it is do-able then climb (NATURE 20 woooooop). then with the help of some daggers get it so that a touch will be stuck and can burn the trap door (aimed at the catch if the door is locked. Then take my torch and light it.

Spoiler

Show

If any more dice are in order shout ken.

[Luke GG]

As the way up looks to hard Darth will Sneak and see what lays ahead and a way out.

[DrK]

The second zombie collapses in an umoving heap upon its dead comrades. Even as Solomon stumbles back leaning against the wall, clutching a hand to his bleeding shoulder Ophelia moves forward and presses the wand against it - a wave of cool blue energy healing up the bite marks.

He glances down at the bite marks, "I hope these guys don't carry any disease, or I'm in trouble." He looks up the corridor where the rest of the zombies have retreated. "Is it a bad sign when the zombies pull back?"..

Darth looks up at the walls, the 30ft sheer rock wall glittering with a wet sheen of salt moisture... It doesn't look like a good idea and the trapdoor - massive wooden planks of wet driftwood doesn't look very flammable. And the grinding sound above does sound a lot like heavy rocks being dropped on top of it.

Instead the slight little thief sneaks forward until he can get a look at the main chamber - a slight amount of light barely illuminated by 2 corners and dim light from Ophelia and Solomon's magic. 4 remaining zombies stand in a loose semi-circle waiting for you... While at the back in the deep shadows a better dressed zombie stands, a cutlass in his hand and a glimmer of intelligence in his shiny red eyes....

Spoiler

Show

they are waiting for you, and they have a clever sentient one

[Tombs]

How are the wounds doing? Teach looks over Solomon quickly but leaves him to Ophelia's more expert care.

Well, it seems Lavinia's dislike of her brother is well founded. Sinister plots and undead. How unpleasant. I'm looking forward to killing him slowly.

If we can't go back, I suppose we will have to go through. Best give it a moment for everyone to collect themselves... Teach glances over at Ophelia, trying to work out if she's nice again or still terrifying.

[Luke GG]

Darth will relay the info.

"It might be best to shoot some of them."

[ShineyDuck]

Ophelia look carefully over Soloman

Dont get carried away now. Wait there for a second.

"As you wish my lady (bows). On your mark then."

"I believe myself and the pirate, sorry the drunk pirate can thin the numbers down. Making then come to us on are terms"

[DrK]

Solomon looks at the thief and nods. Shield and sword sliding back onto his back and into its ornate scabbard. "Best to knock em down when we can... How do you feel Captain if we fire over your shoulder while you hold 'em off?" he asks Teach

Spoiler

So what's the plan?

Here is a map

[Luke GG]

"I say one or two of us try and pick off what we can and draw them into the kill zone (where we were). Here is where we have an advantage. 2 vs 1 at the lest"

"Question is who goes first?"

[ShineyDuck]

If they hold off you might as well take a fortune blessing from me before getting stuck in...

Spoiler

Show

Ophelia Attempts to give everyone guidance one by one before the combat so hopefully when it starts everyone has a +1 in round 1. If not she will focus on Soloman and dirk since they have the range and that's what looks to be out best option for minimising harm back on us.

[Luke GG]

"after you Solomon. take the one around the corner."

[DrK]

Solomon looks wryly at the thief. "I'm not sure my barbs will have much effect... none the less."

He leans around the corner and fires at the nearest one before stepping back and allowing the next person to have a shot, a disgusted snort as his bolt flies wide of the mark,

It bounds forward and pounces upon Teach in a flurry of ragged teeth and punching claws...
