Forge of Fury IC

[Kish]

The everpresent mists clear slightly, revealing a human body lying face down in the street amid the garbage. One of the buildings facing the street has its door smashed in. Suga's darkvision catches a glimpse of something apparently feeding on the prone body; Tarak and Suga also see three more animated corpses around the intersection you're approaching, including one inside the building with the broken door.

Suga was about to move forward against the enemy ahead with his axe itching for the undead but Feagon's spell filling the whole intersection and more stopped him short. He looks around. "That spell will last a while right? Head down that alley and take the next street over?"

[RolandDeschain]

Tarak

Though unseen, the hobgoblin is immediately entangled in a twisted mess of suddenly aggressive vegetation.

[Kish]

One of the zombies lurches blithely past Tarak. Suga and Tarak can see a huge maggot approaching through the vines; Feagon can see only a trace of something white moving, and Celesta sees nothing at all at that distance. The door to your south swings open and another zombie emerges, picking its way through the vines before trying to hit Celesta. Meanwhile, something that looks like a floating human head with large leathery wings flies down from the roof of a northern building and lets out a bloodcurdling shriek.

Celesta's attention is on the flying thing and the zombie manages to sneak up on her (with all the grace of a shambling corpse) and claw at her shoulder. "HEY!! Sneaky bastard!" The wound burns and she feels slightly ill. Trying to ignore it, Celesta steps to the side and swings her axe at the corpse.

Feagon nods at Suga as he says "Yes, we have a few minutes before it dissipates." as he takes aim at the maggot but the head comes into view and shrieks, causing him to look.
"That can't be good. We should consider retreating, at least somewhere we can better defend ourselves." the elf says as he takes aim and fires.

Feagon frets for a moment before willing the spell away.

[Kish]

Feagon shoots down one of the floating heads, Suga cuts down the other (Steel Wind not used). The zombie in front of Celesta swings at her again as the vines wither, freeing everyone in them. Three zombies and a maggot the size of a dachshund surround Tarak and attack him as he regains the ability to move.

Seeing Tarak appear and be surrounded by undead and a maggot Celesta decides that's the scuffle she wants to be in. "Deal with that one!", the barbarian shouts over her shoulder as she runs past the zombie in front of her she charges towards the maggot swinging her axe in a wide arc.

This is assuming the attacks from Z4 don't do anything to stop Celesta.

[Kish]

Celesta runs around a zombie, which swings at her as she does, and cuts into a maggot, which oozes a disgusting slime but seems, insofar as you can tell the attitude of a maggot, undaunted.

The other maggot moves in to attack Tarak as well.

How did Z3 attack Celesta? Not adjacent.

Steel Wind (take 3?) to attack the maggot and Z1. If Tarak's strike dropped the zombie then Z2 instead.

Tarak slashes the zombie once, his other attack defeated by its tough skin. Feagon's swing similarly fails.
