Zan points a finger and from its tip a greenish/blue dart fires out directly and unerringly at the beastie. He laughs gleefully as the beast roars its rage.

4hp damage.

Weasel reacts first, draws first blood with a crippling backstab. 12points damage.

Kullonar is quick to the strike, but unlucky, and his attempt to turn is met with mocking undead laughter.

Zan fires off a Magic Missile, scoring the beast for 4 more points of damage.

Bruno tosses holy water at the beast. An unearthly light gleams in its eyes as it recognizes a holy man.

The beast attacks Bruno, his blow harmless against the doughty priest's armor.

Myrrick slashes the beast, scoring a wicked hit along it's flank.

Bruknar swings twice, both hit, but he's not sure if the thing even noticed his efforts.

Uthecar rushes forward into the fray, swinging his axe and connecting with a might blow. Like his kinsman, Bruknar, he wonders at the toughness of the beastie and the lack of response to it's blow.



Initiative order:
Weasel
Kullonar
Bruno
Zan

**Undead beastie

Myrrick
Bruknar
Uthecar

Seeing that his spell was effective, Zan gives out an outburst of "Ha"

A thought hit him as he had almost forgotten one of the new items that the group had already found, he quickly grabbed his wand and pointed at the creature.  "Zap Zap"  two more missiles streaked toward the creature.

11:34, Today: Zan rolled 2,5 using 1d4+1,1d4+1.  MM.

Calling to his Pseudo Dragon, "Ginger be sure to stay clear"

Kullonar steps into the fray, swinging his morningstar.
"Back foul beast!"

20:38, Today: Kullonar rolled 16,4 using 1d20+1,2d4+1.  Morningstar attack.

Frustrated at his lack of carnage Uthecar lets his axe drop carefully to the ground and grabs his dwarven shield in both hands overhead and uses it in a chopping down motion to batter the creature.   He lets out a frustrated battle cry as he does so.

20:47, Today: Uthecar Hornskin II rolled 11 using 1d20+4.  to hit.  Not sure of weapon damage if that does hit. 

Myrrick spins, slashing at the beast once more.

10:43, Today: Myrrick rolled 6 using 1d20+4 ((2)).

Weasel circles as the beast does, and remains poised to backstab yet again: Rolled to hit - 14 which is a miss.

Weasel drives the point of his blade toward the middle of the beast's back. At the last moment, it shifts, leaving Weasel flat footed, his arm extended awkwardly, and the eyes of the beast upon him.

"Uh oh," he mutters...

Realizing that two strong blows had no impact on the undead, Bruknar stayed his hand. As the thing turned its attention on the small thief, Bruknar took a few steps backward.

Bruno holds forth the hammer of Moradin, his holy symbol, and shouts, "Flee, filth of the pit! Flee the wrath of Moradin!"

It is a good effort, but the cold light of death still lights its eyes, and a wicked grin crosses its face at it charges again the priest of Moradin.


No response from Bruno, unfortunately. I'll post the initiative order for the next round in a day or two.

Initiative order:
Weasel
Kullonar
Bruno
Zan

**Undead beastie

Myrrick
Bruknar
Uthecar

Weasel misses by a hairsbreadth, dances nimbly aside as the beast leers at him.

Kullonar has no luck, as the beast shrugs off the blow as if impervious to the priest's efforts.

Bruno calls forth divine aid, but it seems to have no effect beyond drawing the beast's ire.

At the same time, Zan fires two more bolts from his wand, cause 7 more points of damage.

The thing staggers, enraged, and with one more effort, attempts to hit Bruno, who is nearest to him: Moridan's grace is apparently upon him as the beast swings wildly and misses.

Myrrick misses, as does Bruknar, but Uthecar lines up for a might blow...with his shield? Using the weapon as a cudgel, he tries to strike the beast. Unfortunately, he misses, but he notes the beast shying away from the magic of the shield...hmm?!

RD 3 is now. Party's actions.

Uthecar is starting to get worked up.  With his axe proving useless and his shied efforts mostly ineffective he continues to raise it above his head and chop down with the edge of the shield in an overhead manner like he is trying to brain the creature or at least chop it into pieces with the edge.

Uthecar Hornskin II rolled 1 for Initiative and 13 to hit (hits AC 7 but no shield pluses have been used {if any apply} only strength bonus) and 13 damage.  FYI. If he doesn't hit this round, his ineffectiveness will throw him into berserk mode for the following rounds as frustration gets the better of him.

Amazed that his solid strike on the creature seemed to have no effect, Kullonar growls and attacks again, hoping to at least distract it while his companions try to put it down.

LOL, Uthecar!!!

Myrrick, his own frustration mounting, attacks with grim focus.

21:28, Today: Myrrick rolled 7 using 1d20+4 ((3)).

Bruno casts Protection from Evil (-2 to evil undead attack/+2 to saves against evil undead).
Duration 4 rounds.

Weasel shows out like a master thief as he sneaks behind the monster once again.

To hit: natural 1

As masterful his attempt to get behind the creature, his effort to poke it with the pointy end of his sword goes terribly, terribly awry. It turns his way...

Zan sends more of the same, "Zap Zap"

22:22, Today: Zan rolled 5,5 using 1d4+1,1d4+1 ((4,4))

Weasel stares in fright as the thing turns his attention the young thief's way.

Kullonar throws down on the dance floor as he tries to evade the beastie's gaze.

Bruno casts Protection from evil

Zan fires two more bolts into the beast, and this time they score deeply and deadly. The beast falls. No longer a vessel for the thing's spirit, the body disintegrates into fine dust. Only a broken skull remains next to the pile of carpets.

Myrrick's blade scraps the stone floor leaving a long and narrow gash.

Bruknar still maintains his distance from the creature.

Uthecar wacks the thing with his shield as it disintegrates (A for effort).

Your shouts of fear and rage wane to silence, and you stare at one another in relief. Another fell foe had fallen beneath your wrath.

What's the party going to do?

Bruno sighs in relief and grips his holy symbol saying a silent prayer of thanks.

Looking up he scans his comrade, "Is everybody okay? We seemed to make it through that with little more than a bit of moisture in our knickers."

Uthecar is breathing deeply but slowly settles himself down.  He picks up his axe.  "Good axe," he says, "Better shield.  Let's push on to next door, expecting the same when we open it."

I'm expecting this to be room 35 where the red line double backs on itself on the game map we have.

Uthecar waits for everyone to take position wanting Weasel to trip the lock so he can then kick the door open and lead the entry.

Kullonar spits on the dust of the undead creature as he passes it and takes up his spot behind the others, shield and morningstar ready.

"Um, fellas? Where ya goin? We haven't fully searched this place yet."

"Well, that went ok enough." Zan said with a slight shrug.

Myrrick nodded, "Let's go, sooner the better."

Uthecar waits looking at Weasel as if to say "Well then get on with it."
