Adora to Athos and Lestrand: Do good on your will save guys. Sorry. but I don't have any spell to help you.

jukai to mummy: Is that all you can do Mr. Tissue?!? Let me show you how it is done....



jukai began to dance. But this was not the "maglalatik" dance that his friends was custom in seeing. This dance was lightning fast, harmonic but deadlier. He swings his arnis in whole circular motions like a monk practicing his martial arts. Bending, twisting & turning his whole body...jukai is dancing the katipunero's secret dance ... " SIKARAN - THE DANCE OF DEATH "

To Shadowhart: Sorry, but there is no room for Jukai to flank with Adora...

To Fennix: Elendrin is an undead bane longsword, right... the extra damage should be 2d6 and the enchantment bonus should jump from +2 to +4 when fighting undead. I'll do the 2d6 rolls this round okay...

THIRD ROUND

Initiative Order:

Adora 19: charge mummy
Jukai 15: full attack mummy
Lestrand 13: made will save, full attack nearest zombie
Sand 13: ghoststep and attack zombie(1)
Mummy 13: full attack Jukai
Athos 9: made will save, total defense
Zombies 8: attack anyone inside the room.

Counting on the blessing of the heavens to protect her from the undeads aura of despair, Adora charges with her axe. The mummy tries to block with its morningstar. But the sheer power of the paladins attack combined with divine power, was too much for even it to withstand. Adora buries her axe into the mummy's shoulder almost severing its arm and the mummy shudders as electricity courses through its undead flesh (-17hp). But the close proximity of Adora to zombie(3) breaks her hold on the undead.

With a steps, Jukai moves away from zombie(1) negating the undeads flanking advantage. The fighter begins his secret dance of death, spinning in complicated circles as he slams his mace on the mummy's neck, chest and head (-20hp total). The mummy almost fell from the fighter's vicious assault but it somehow manages remain on it feet.

With a supreme effort of willpower, Lestrand manages to break the fear that paralyzing his entire body. Athos once told him that Elendrin was crafted by the elven smith for the purpose of battling the forces of undeath. The fighter puts the swords power to the test as he slices into zombie(1).

Elendrin's extra damage vs undead
[dice=6][dice=6]
Total: 7

Elendrin glows like the rising sun as it bites into zombie(1), slicing it in two (-13hp) with the fallen halves of the undead disintegrating before Lestrand's eyes.

Using his "ki" for the third time. the ninja Sand vanishes from everyones eyes. he moves silently towards zombie(2) and attacks with his katana which results in a deep gash appearing on the undeads chest (-11hp). But zombie(2) seems to not notice that it has just been severely wounded.

The Mummy sensing that he faces powerful opponents in Adora and Jukai, decides to finish of the already heavily wounded fighter first...

Mummy full attack vs Jukai (AC20)

Morningstar +15
[dice=20]

But all of its attacks were deflected by Jukai's twin maces, and the undead curses in frustration as its spiritual morning star continues its attack on Adora.

Athos manages to shake off the effects of the mummy's aura of despair. The elf decides to take the total defense action this round.

Zombie(2), still affected by Adora's last turning attempt, is still unable to make an attack. But zombie(3) has broken the turning when the paladin went to close to it when she made her charge on the mummy. Zombie(3) attacks Adora...
