Round Three
(this is preceded by round two, followed by round four)
Kazzak stabs his sword into the corpse called Dave and then rips it out sideways, nearly cutting the zombie in half.
Dave takes 6 slashing damage!
The undead attack in eerie silence, inanimate things moving without life or intelligence or animosity, impelled by some fell magic.
Dave tries to retaliate, but its swipes are feeble as the corpse is barely holding together!
Dean attacks Antonius, striking the cleric in the face with a decaying fist!
Antonius takes 7 bludgeoning damage!
Duke attacks Kazzak, too, but the fighter is prepared and sidesteps the slow swings!
Don attacks Berthold, silently scrabbling and tearing with putrescent limbs!
Berthold takes 3 bludgeoning damage!
Despite the mortal wound of the arrow punched down through its dead heart, Dina attacks Sora!
Sora takes 2 bludgeoning damage!
The banging on the rear door of the barn continues!
"We retreat or stay here." Dell calls down to Sora. "I am with you. It is your call."
Sora pummels Dina, walking up the corpse's rotten torso with a series of punches, then rolling back down the decaying body again.
Dina takes 4 bludgeoning damage but does not fall.
"I will not leave the prisoners to this fate!" Sora growls. She kicks the zombie in the knees repeatedly. Bone snaps wetly.
Dina takes 6 bludgeoning damage but remains upright on horribly shattered legs: sure sign that it is magic animating these lifeless things.
Amnestria sympathizes, and tries to set Dina on fire. But the gout of flame she sees toward the zombie misses.
::See what that noise is coming from:: the wizard thinks to her owl familiar. ::On the other side of the barn, I think. Go quickly!::
Meanwhile, on the other side of the house, "By Wee Jas…" Antonius groans in horrified disbelief. These undead things are even worse up close than any he's encountered previously. He adds "Stay down." as he wallops Dave with his sturdy warhammer. Bits of festering flesh spatter onto both of the heroes.
Dave takes 11 bludgeoning damage and collapses.
Mercifully, the desecrated body does stay down.
Dell jumps out of the loft, landing heavily behind Dina.
Dell takes 3 falling damage.
Dell whips out his rapier and sinks it up to the hilt in Dina's wetly spongy torso.
Dina takes 12 piercing damage but STILL does not stop moving!
Grallaria flaps to get more height and then glides over the barn. She reports to Amnestria ::Big Person tries to climb Big Tree::
By long association, Amnestria is able to interpret that the owl is saying that another assailant - a zombie, the wizard suspects - is banging on the barn's door or wall; owls don't have a great ability to distinguish doors, knocking or hammering looks most like an earth-bound creature trying to scramble up a tree, and a barn is just a big tree to her.
"Reynald, bring the crossbow downstairs!" In the extremity of his distress, Berthold calls his retainers into danger. Shouting even louder so his companions outside can hear, the knight exclaims, "Fall back to the house!" As he does this, Berthold slashes repeatedly into Don, the one zombie that has managed to make its way inside the house so far.
Don takes 10 slashing damage.
Reynald, Guilbert, and Olyena (in that order) thunder most of the way down the stairs and stop, horrified, before they get to the bottom at the sight of the undead thing just a few feet away from them. They know that horrible death is held back from them only by their boss, and he is clearly badly hurt.
