Reign of Winter: The Snows of Summer

Push him out of the way, so when the zombies come through I'm closer, and switch from longsword to greatsword. Where did the +1 sword come from? I was thinking just switching to my own greatsword. Will format this back into my post in the morning, it's pretty late here.

That's one too many actions. Pushing, sheathing and drawing. You can drop your long sword instead of sheathing it and then draw your greatsword or pick up Felix's. (+1 from the Magic Weapon spell)

[PotatoGolem]

Done. He's sheathing and pushing.

[dojango]

The pitch-soaked rag on the torch flares up nicely. Hatano goes to the other side of the coach and begins to set it alight.

[Alhallor]

It will melt. Raydine pulled a scroll from her girdle and makes her way to the unconscious Felix.

Move action to retrieve a scroll, standard action to go towards Felix. The ice wall will keep staying there for 3 additional rounds, thanks to Lingering Performance (that was a really good feat decision.)

Arcatek takes a step back and loads the crossbow.
Behind the wall of ice, you hear a smack and then a small crack appears.

The carriage starts to burn. (Nobody screams for help inside.)

H, R, and M may go. If Felix gets to 0hp, he can take a move action safely. If he gets to 1 hp, he can have a full round. (Still on the ground, 5' back from the wall and the magic sword.) He is stable at -2. The CLW scroll if read will be d8+1.

[Alhallor]

When Raydine arrives at Felix, she begins to read the magic scroll. Kalas, ahtut, shem, aszur. The words begin to glow in a golden light that disappears that take the written words with them, while the light travels to Felix. After that Raydine draws a whip that she had wrapped around her waist.

Standard action to use the scroll, auto succeed because it's on my spell list. Move action to draw my whip.

To Majid, Hatano says, "Help me keep them in the fire!" She stands by him, her spear raised, waiting for the ice wall to fail. Once the things she'll use it to keep them from leaving their pyre. "Make sure he isn't turning into one of those things!" she shouts back at the others. She'd heard they could spread their... condition... to those they'd killed and the last thing she wanted was the fallen paladin to rise behind them.

[PotatoGolem]

Majid draws his greatsword and squares up next to Hatano, sword at the ready once the creatures break through. Be ready. The dead come. In Sarenrae's name, we will bring them rest.

Draw greatsword and ready action to strike when they break through.

Felix Aasimar Hospitaler Paladin AC: 16 HP: 6/12 touch: 11, ff: 15, CMD: 15 Conditions: Felix orients himself and is confused as to what happened for a hot second. He mentally curses his unpreparedness, as he hoists himself up to the side of the carriage, dragging his seemingly heavier blade up with him. Spoiler Show Two move actions to stand up (provokes AoO) and grab his weapon. I try to get cover from the side of the carriage to cancel half of the penalty of prone to AC (AC 12 without cover, 14 with it, after I am standing my AC returns to 16 or 18 with cover)

[Phantom Genius]

There's no AOO because Felix is five feet back and behind a wall of ice, plus H and M. He can make a 5' step if he wants.

Arcatek readies a bolt.

The carriage burns a little more as another slam hits the ice and the crack becomes a gash.

Sure enough! Just waiting for the wall of ice to break, then. How's the fire going with regard to the carriage? Are things getting nice and toasty? Would it be possible to pile up some brush/coach door fragments on the fire to get it to burn faster?

[Phantom Genius]

Hatano picks up the spear that had held the door closed. Since the wall of ice was keeping the carriage door open, she grabbed the edge of the door and prepared to slam it shut once the wall of ice melted. "Watch out! Going shut them in once the door's free."

Sorry, Felix destroyed the door. It's on the ground. Feel free to redo your action.

Not that I want to hinder the epicness of my ice wall but I can only affect 1 square right now.

Probably still enough to cave the zombies in though.

Raydine would ready an action to Trip the first zombie that emerges.

Trip attempt: (1d20+2)[4] against the Zombies CMD

Should that not be possible (because they are too many people in the way, too get the Whip through) of she would made an Aid another attempt. to boost Majid AC by two.

Raydine makes herself ready should her conjured ice fall down.

[PotatoGolem]

Majid stands ready to strike when the zombies break through.

Felix Aasimar Hospitaler Paladin AC: 16 HP: 6/12 touch: 11, ff: 15, CMD: 15 Conditions: Unable to attack the zombie, but steadying his stance, Felix smiles at Raydine. I never knew the touch of a genie could be this revitalizing.he says in a smarmy voice and winks at her, before focussing his attention again at the encased zombie. It is undead, you hear me? Ice does not work. he follows up in a more commandeering voice. Spoiler Show just my free action speaking. It would be out of character to not thank a nice lady.

It starts slowly, but the pitch certainly helps. In her opinion, more brush and the door fragments may help, but the ice isn't going to last much longer. Combat will restart shortly.

Z1 continues pounding on the wall of ice.

Magic Weapon Round 4

We have four readied actions and Felix standing by. Anyone want to change anything this round? (The whip attack has already been rolled, so probably shouldn't be changed.)

[dojango]

Hatano picks up the broken door fragments and tosses them on the fire on the other side of the coach. As the flames jump up, she looks around for some pine wood or dry branches to throw on the fire as well. "Once this is done, we should burn the other bodies as well," she says.

[Alhallor]

It wasn't so much my touch and more the... And then came the voice and the wink. Raydine's face shifted from her light blue tone to a more darker one, like the dephts of a clear blue lake. It won't work again the same way!

Spoiler: OOC

Definitely not changing my action. Just getting flustered.

[Phantom Genius]

After Hatano moves to the other (burning) side of the carriage, the ice wall finally falls and the readied actions go off.
Raydine lashes out with her lash and misses.
Arcatek shoots his short shot into melee and through cover, but manages to hit, piercing the zombies thigh, but having no effect.
Majid, take your readied swing and then Felix can go.

[dojango]

Hatano begins piling up brush and broken wood on the burning side of the coach. Trying to build the fire as hot and high as she can to kill the things within.

[Phantom Genius]

Spoiler: Good Housekeeping

Show

Hatano went first in the round, so you can save that action for this round.
Z1 was in the doorway of the carriage, so no flanking was possible. Critical hits are possible.

The readied actions were unimpressive, so Felix steps up with his newly magic sword and chops the zombie-man-thing's head off. Both pieces drop to the ground. A second zombie-man-thing, hair and underwear on fire, shuffles forward and tries to slam Felix and bring him back to the world of the dead. But the fire in his eyes is the burning kind and he misses...barely.

New round. Round 6/6 of Magic Weapon.
Hatano improves the fire.
Majid and Felix are in regular melee.
Raydine has a whip and a paladin in her way.
Arcatek will go 2nd-to-last.
Z2 will go last if you haven't dropped him.

[dojango]

Hatano walks back to where the two paladins are fighting the last zombie. She leans on her spear and watches for a few moments. "Well. The paladin has risen. Gods be praised." Unless the zombie breaks past the two fights, Hatano will merely watch the battle.

[Alhallor]

Raydine try's to focus, when the other zombie emerges she fixated on his right leg and let her Whip snake forth to hopefully outbalance this poor dead guy.

Another trip attempt. (1d20+2)[5]

Majid swings again, hoping to hit more zombie and less carriage.

[Phantom Genius]

Raydine's whip fails to get through the wall of paladins, but Felix is momentarily distracted by what looks like a snake on his boot. He barely misses the burning zombie.

Majid, saving the best for last, decapitates the zombie, its burning head staring up at him unless he kicks it away.

The carriage continues to burn. Arcatek starts to drag a handmaiden's body to the pyre.

Any other wrap-up actions?

[dojango]

Hatano will help drag the other bodies to the pyre. Once that's done, she mutters a short prayer in Orcish. Once the last of the bodies is on the pyre, and the coach is burning furiously, she'll turn to the others and say, "Soak up the warmth. It might be the last we'll feel for a while."
