Session 7: Against Undead Odds

General Summary

The group journey one more day from Vasat Kur to a couple miles outside of Old Owl Well. The group wait until the morning to investigate the ruins and the undead within. Mardot snuck around the ruins to see all eleven zombies. Mardot failed a stealth role leading some of the zombie to look at him but not attack.   Rost, thinking this meant they were friendly approached the tower, quickly getting overrun as the zombies attacked. The zombies pummel Rost but only manage to dmaage him with a critical hit, taking a third of his health. Mardot dispatches one of the side zombies before bounding back to the rest of the party. Calix runs to help Rost and kills one zombie with a critical hit before using his CAP ring ot help protect Rost. Salt joins the fray with an impressive Thunderwave, damaging every zombie as well as Calix, Rost, and Flux. Icarus is the last to go this round slaying another undead with his kusarigama. At that point Flux Hamut erupts from the tent demanding to know what is going on. Calix is the only one to respond asking is it too late to audition as a zombie. Flux unleashes his annoyance with a fireball, killing a zombie, hurting Calix, Rost, and Icarus, and knocking Salt down.   More zombie fell as battle raged on. Mardot ran across the ruins ot try to deal with Flux but was met with a Shield spell. Icarus still reeling from the fireball, finds new power in the form of his wild card magic, healing himself as a another zombie falls. Flux further wittled down Rost with a second level magic missile, hoping to deal with the highest armored enemy. Flux also took his chance to further remove himself from Mardot going to the other side of the zombies. Rost tries to clean up the horde with an action surge and two sweeping attacks while bolstering Icarus with some temporary HP from his rallying cry.   Rost and Calix fell victim to critical hits from zombies as the third round began, knocking Rost down. Calix exited rage to pick Salt up with a Cure Wounds, leaving Rost behind enemy lines. Mardot kept up his attempts to get Flux scoring an impressive hit trying for a knock out while Icarus barely misses Flux with a throw of his new cards. Flux reels from this hit deciding to deal with this slippery brigand with a Hold Person.   Mardot breaks free of the Hold Person on his next turn but zombies quickly block his way to the mage. As Salt repositions himself, Flux orders everyone to stand down before ordering a zombie to finish off Rost. Rost is kept from death as his sword starts to stir, bringing him back up and unlocking new abilities. Calix quickly deals with the Blue Mage with a Sleep spell leaving about half of the zombies to clean up.   Salt heals himself with his own Cure Wounds as the rest mop up the remaining zombies. We leave the session preparing to talk to the wizard and learn his story.
