Kazzak is upstairs in the north bedroom. When he opens the shutter again, he just catches a glimpse of a
zombie jerking its way into cover under the overhang. He's already brought his crossbow up and triggered the release. The bolt thuds into the body before it disappears from view.
The zombie takes 7 piercing damage!
The pounding on the window shutter and front door begins.
Round One
(this is followed by round two)
Ene,
Fern, and
Morton all jump when the battering starts.
"Of course they found us." Morton says,
"They seem to be drawn to the light as well as sound."
"Let’s handle the one by the shutters first," the knight stated levelly, as he grabbed his heavy crossbow once again.
"Those who are not ready to fight, help block the door, get Antonius on the floor and use the kitchen table. If it manages to get in, we will take it down." OOC:
@matmaisan - note that I edited the text slightly, since Kazzak is not there.
a crossbow attack.
Without a word,
Amnestria hurries upstairs to join
Kazzak and to see if she can assess how many attackers are outside.
"Everyone get ready to defend if need be." Dell says.
"I can lead them away again. I think it is our best chance." Dell moves to the back door, unbars it, opens the door, jumps out, closes the door behind him, and runs off into the darkness. Following the light around to the front of the house, he doesn't trip on anything while he
Dashes to reach the corner of the house where he can see the
Light coin shining in the yard by the wagon.
"I know you may not trust me." Morton says to the people still in the room (
Sora,
Berthold,
Olyena,
Fern,
Reynald,
Ene, and
Guilbert),
"But we must work together to survive, and later I can answer questions. I will help however I can. Move the body, hold the door, or I can blast them as soon as we can see them." He looks around for
Kazzak, who can confirm how useful he was in fighting the
zombies earlier, but the dwarf is gone.
"...just like I did before." Seeing that
Olyena and
Reynald are already moving
Antonius' unconscious body,
Morton turns to the door, but
Fern is already holding the door. He raises his hands,
Readying an
Eldritch Blast.
Ene picks up
Final Measure and gets ready to use it.
Antonius dreams of sacred halls.
Now that
Antonius' body has been moved,
Sora drags the table over to the front door;
Fern moves out of the way and helps the
Earthshaker monk shove the table against the portal.
"Hey dead heads!!" Dell yells from the side of the
two zombies hammering on the front of the farmhouse.
"Remember me!! You ready for round two?"
One of the
zombies remains hammering on the door, but the
zombie at the window turns and jerks toward him, stumbling forward and lashing out with decaying fists!
Dell takes 7 bludgeoning damage and falls, dying!
The front door splits, one fist coming through, but the bar and table together keep the door from falling to pieces.
Morton releases the pent-up demonic energy.
As there is only a small gap in the door, the
zombie has 3/4 cover from attacks inside the house.
The zombie at the door takes 10 force damage!
A split second later,
Berthold's crossbow bolt threads the needle as well, flitting through the crack in the door to sink into the same
zombie!
The zombie at the door takes 5 piercing damage! The hammering on the door ceases as
zombie 2 falls!
