Boldly running away is the best plan; I'll do the Invisibility jig as soon as my initiative comes up (and making the Cleric waste actions on casting See Invisibility means that Alyera has more time to bail like the rest of us).
But if we have to fight, lets try and do it somewhere without Zombies surrounding us from every direction.
This is to speak quietly, so he doesn't hear or see our plan.

Alyera motions for the group to come together, and stand in a protective formation. "I can tell, good sir, that you mean us harm." Then, lowering her voice and speaking almost at the same time to the others, "When I touch you, just light out running. I'll hold his attention." Her voice rises again, to a commanding, booming, volume, grabbing the attention of everything within sight, hand slipping down and tapping Ma, forming around her for an instant, a glowing bubble pulsing in and out of reality for a glimmer of the eye. You wil die. Yes. Yes I will. Her voice bellows, "LISTEN, BJORN!" Another tap. Annalyn free. Eyes glancing at the undead slowly closing in. "WE CAME NOT TO HARM YOU, AND WE DESIRE NO SUCH THING! WE ARE ONLY LOOKING TO KNOW: WHAT HAPPENED? WHAT WILL HAPPEN?" Her hand's glow engulfs Ralph, and she gives a light nod.
Why do you not fight? We will fight forever.
"Go to my master's house. Do not look behind you, do not wait for me. Merely flee... I will come if I am able.""SO, THEN, MASTER OF THESE HORDES WE SEE, WHO ARE YOU, AND WHAT DO YOU DESIRE?" Her hand barely touches Lucien, but he is safe, untouchable. Each one, in turn, surrounded by an effervescent golden arc. Each one safe. Untouchable.
"TELL ME!"

4 Castings of my Sanctuary SLA, DC 16. It'll keep all the zombies down. Guidance, Guidance, on both my Bluff and Dip rolls. Way I figure it, you have 18 seconds to get roughly 360' away, if you quad-time it each round. That should be faster than any one of the zombies, and even Bjorn. Even if not, they'll be split up, and we can make it out. If I could, I'd like some Aid Another checks to get that Bluff up. Invisibility would be a great thing to deploy, as would mirror images. Use Acid or other attacks ONLY if it's a free action; Expeditious Retreat would be nice, too. Sanctuary is rds/level, so you literally have 20 seconds to get out of range. Past that, I'm gonna hold them off/kill/incapacitate as many as I can to keep you safe. THEN I book it.
Dip Check to Distract Him Long Enough For Them To Run:
[roll1]
Bluff Check To Not Be Seen:
AUTO-FAILED. 1.
Several things.
1. Skill checks cannot auto fail or critical. If you roll, a one, you just sucked at that moment.
2. All those castings take a whole standard action to cast. That's 6 spells for 6 rounds...and while its cool for this scene, your opponents are not going to just stand around and do nothing....unless you can convince me otherwise, you'll have to redo the post (and that pains me, as I would have loved to rend Alyera to pieces!).
I'm aware that it would take 24 seconds for those spells to get off (I should think about Quicken SLA...). That's why I posted the distracting stuff... the idea was that I would keep his attention as much as possible. Even if some of the zombies go after them, they'll be safe (I doubt the zombies can beat DC16 reliably). The plan was made being fully aware of the likelihood of minor failures at every turn.
As to Invisibility, it'd be nice. I don't intend to take him, at all... but I don't want you guys to have to either.
I would like a map.

The sanctuary plan is probably the best way of dealing with this particular problem, and I can throw a Summon at Bjorn if he passes his Will Save to slow him down some; once this round is over, Alyera can keep throwing Sanctuary's on people while Invisible, which should minimize the Undead as a problem for her (and Bjorn too, if he doesn't have See Invisibility up).
sorry this is taking so long, I'm trying to come up with a solution for combat.
And my basement decided to leak something through the foundation of my house, so I'm a little preoccupied with School, work and that. So don't feel angry when you see me posting on other stuff, it means im bored.... (having limited access sucks!)
I'll post Bjorn's actions without the map, but I'll need it for the Zomba's.
Lol, it's okay man. I do that too, especially when I have to think what I'm posting here or for any other game for that matter. It just happens it's easier to think about those other stuff sometimes.

Just so you are aware, Bjorn just slapped you into the nether.
