A runner reaches Sylvia.

"The West Gate is breached!  We need your help."

It takes only a minute to arrive on the scene.  You find the gate broken open.  The corpse of one zombie render in the street, but two more have engaged the guards at the gate.  The archers are occupied with more zombies outside.

Roll initiatives.

Sir Thomas had just dismounted when he heard of the breach to the west gate. Quickly remounting, he took off as quickly as the people moving about in the streets would allow.

As he approaches the gate, he makes sure his shield is securely placed on his arm and that his lance and hammer are easily obtainable. Upon reaching the gate he spots Lady Terea. Giving her a salute, he pulls out his lance and makes ready to charge the approaching horde.

Any around Thomas may feel a slight tingling around them. While most will think it nervousness in anticipation of battle, it is actually an effect of a draconic aura that Sir Thomas has active.
*****************
21:52, Today: Sir Thomas rolled 14 using 1d20. Initiative.
(Any ally in a 30' radius has DR 2/magic) -> Draconic Aura of Toughness

Question: I figure the z# are zombies and the w is wall and g is gate. what do the b and W# stand for?

You are correct.  W1, W2, etc are warriors, the people still trying to hold the gate.  In other words, allies.  But they are 1st level NPCs and will probably die if they are hit.

Aeron stands against the zombie with the rest of the warrior trying to close the breach.

09:57, Today: Aeron Waston rolled 4 using 1d20+1. init

Sylvia drew her mace and pointed it in the direction of the zombies.  "Men, push forward and take back the gate!  If we can't hold the gate, we've lost this part of the city!"

(17:41, Today: Sylvia Terea rolled 15 using 1d20+2. Init.)

Sylvia and Sir Thomas, you both are up.

The order to push forward was all Sir Thomas needed. With a shout to his horse, he charges into battle to close the gap where the few troops are left. As he goes he sets his lance and takes aim at the nearest undead beast. With a devastating thrust he pierces (OOC: hopefully) the creatures hide.

*************************

Sir Thomas to K9

*************************
Charge! Attack bonus +2 ( i forgot to add that to my roll, so I'm doing that now)
21:54, Today: Sir Thomas rolled 26 using 1d20+9. Attack on Z2.  (28)
21:55, Today: Sir Thomas rolled 8 using 1d8+3. Damage on Z2 (damage x 3).
Damage = 24
AC -2 because of charge. AC now 22 until next round

Draconic Aura: All within 30 ft get DR 2/-

Sylvia looked ahead and saw that the enemies would be just out of her reach, even if she moved full tilt forward.  If she didn't move forward, though, the zombies would certainly gain the advantage.  She chanted a quick spell of protection and moved forward, trying to gain the attention of the enemy, seeing as how she's the one acting like the leader here.

~~~~
Standard Action: Cast Shield.  I assume Mage Armor is already up seeing as how it lasts HOURS and we knew they were coming.  That, and we dawdled in the middle of town waiting to see which way they came from.  Plenty of time.  This will also set her AC to the Buffed value listed.

Move Action: Move to L9.  It's as far as she can get this turn, and it will protect one side of Sir Thomas.

Sir Thomas charges forward and stabs the first zombie render with his lance (you would have had to stop at L8 as that is the closest square to hit the render).  Sylvia follows after him.  The warriors all slash at the render and a couple manage to deal it minor wounds.

A couple archers on the wall rain arrows down on the renders still outside.

The first render attacks one of the warriors and deals him a near fatal blow.

Aeron you're up and everyone else.

Sir Thomas uses his lance again to attack the render but has a bit of trouble attacking around the troops. "If this one doesn't go down soon, new tactics may be needed," he thinks to himself. Already a plan is forming.

Sylvia stepped forward and slammed her mace into the closest zombie.  The mace is hardly an elegant weapon like her rapier, but she's willing to make concessions.

Sylvia (I rolled your damage) and Sir Thomas, you both hit the target, but your weapons do not seem to do any damage.  The warriors next to you manage to land a couple blows.  A knight come in from the side and lances one of the zombies.

Aeron, the zombie hits you for 10 damage.  The DR aura reduces the damage slightly.

You all are up again.

Sir Thomas sees that Lady Terea and Swordsman Waston are holding the line. As a knight and cavalryman he needs to be mobile. Moving around the barricade he gets the first and second zombies in his sight. With a great intake of breath he unleashes a cone of fire at the two lumbering beasts.

His allies may notice a reddish glow about them and will more likely see the fire that afflicts their enemies when they land a blow.

Sylvia and Aeron, both of your attacks miss.

Christof charges forward to attack the zombie second in line. As he plunges the lance into the beast, his warhorse kicks out in an attempt to clobber the creature.

Sir Thomas, seeing that the lance was doing little, drops it and pulls out his battle axe. He took a strong swing and hit the creature squarely. This weapon should be a bit more effective, hopefully.

His horse thrashes out again and makes a few blows as well.

[Private to GM:
DM: Did you take into account the damage reduction when doing my damage? Also, did you damage the zombies with fire for hitting me? Just making sure]

Sylvia, having failed to hurt the zombie with her mace, drops it on the ground.  She quickly reaches to her belt and draws out her dagger, slashing wildly as she draws it.

21:55, Today: Sylvia Terea rolled 9 using 1d20+6. Attack.

The dice hate me.  This is nothing new.

Aeron swings at the same zombie agagin growing angery at his inabilty to hit it

10:05, Today: Aeron Waston rolled 22 using 1d20+10. greatsword attack.
10:07, Today: Aeron Waston rolled 15 using 2d6+7. greatsword dmg.

The first zombie is severely battered and looks like it might fall to pieces at any moment.

Aeron, the zombie that you hit hits you back for 11 damage.  The zombie takes its fire damage, but is still standing.

Sylvia drew back her dagger and took a more measured swing at the zombie.  That wild attack didn't work so well last time, but that's not surprising.  It's hard to attack while drawing a blade.

20:52, Today: Sylvia Terea rolled 12 using 1d20+6. Attacking... still.
20:55, Today: Sylvia Terea rolled 4 using 1d4+1. Damage, but I probably didn't hit anyway.

In other news, I can't hit the broad side of a barn.

The first render falls from Aeron's attack.

Sylvia and the warrior move forward to prevent the next one from advancing.  A cleric arrives and casts a cure on Aeron.  Regain 7 HP.

Sir Thomas, you are hit for 7 damage (after DR).  One of hte knights is also hit.  Both zombies take damage from the aura.

Everyone is up again.

Sir Thomas is quite happy that the first beast has fallen. This day shall be theirs!

Winding up, he takes another swing at the creature, his aim was a bit off, but his attack was quite strong. His horse again does its barrage of attacks. It gets two decent attacks in, but the third could be problematic.

Sorry about the brief description, but I'm sick and am just doing a quick update.

You are able to drop the front most zombie.  Two more soldiers arrive, they charge past you and engage the next one.  After a few more moments, they put it down, though one of the men died in the process.  A work crew rushes in and seals the breach while you hold off the remaining two zombies.

The battle was hard fought, but you survived and held the city.  The undead horde outside makes no further move against you this day.
