Oberon sees a chance to change his tactics. He begins swinging in wide arcs at the three zombies left to the upper right, trying to keep them back. Once Rethal takes out the last one near him with nothing to bother him, we can team up on this group.
I will swing, and hit if they do something dumb, but I am primarily trying to keep them back.
Out of Character: not sure how to write that in game terms.
I'm rolling some attacks and damage, use how you see best.
The party continues to battle the undead hoard. The only ones with any luck, however, are Delgar and Oberon.
Delgar's sling bullet grazes the zombie that Ardo is facing and it grunts as it's jerked out of its attack on Ardo, causing it to miss.
Oberon's wild swings manage to kill two of the zombies he's facing, leaving him with one last zombie that can reach him which also leaves two on Rethal.
The zombies, as they retaliate, are once again ineffective.
"This one's for you!" Says Thane as he eyes a particular zombie determined to bring it down.
Feeling like they can actually over come the zombies and win this battle delgar reaches into his pouch and loads another bullet into his sling and begins to swing it above his head targeting another zombie closing in on one of his allies, he lets loose and hopes his aim is true.
Ardo hefting his Warhammer another time sees the end of the zombies coming as long as he does nothing to foolish. Trying to finish off the zombies near him so he can help out his compatriots he swings again hoping to crush another zombie skull.
Oberon keeps swinging defensively, buying time and waiting his opportunity. Somewhere in the back of his mind he is making notes on how it feels different swinging the axe with no armor on.
The party continues to hack away at the zombies. One of Thane's arrows nicks a zombie, Delgar's sling bullet takes one down all by itself, and Ardo and Oberon finish off the ones that are closest to them.
Rethal, being not so lucky, does not connect on his attack with the last remaining zombie. To make matters worse, the zombie is able to break through his defenses and hit him hard with one of its fists (HP 6).
