"I secretly use my transmutation spell to turn the very large beer into water while I drink sloppily. I attempt to appear quite drunk."

Warden deviousness, Matthew.

[foreheadboy]

There's only one dragon noted so far...

[Rossiu remarks out of character to Matt, before looking back at his options.]

I try to recall whether or not I've heard anything about this... King Smith.

[That's another d20 rolling.]

[hobo_lantern]

Cliche eh? Alright then.

Suddenly, before any of your questions can be answered, zombies burst into the tavern from every windows and doors! Chaos and screams erupt as the zombies start chewing people!

[gurrenbrigbonded]

Matthew pick up a D20 and rolls it.

"I use my 'Songs of Origin' ability to sing the nearest zombies into the tavern floor!"

[littleshortforanelemental]

Nikolai sighs. He'd been hoping to get a little more information out of the locals about what they were up against.

"I overturn the table to serve as cover and cast Magic Missile."

[infinite_blue]

"Sorry for being late, I heard and I had to read the new rules. I played a little C&C in College, 7.0 edition."

[She takes a seat, with only three sheets of paper.]

=+=Following the Zombies in, a masked figure attempts to throw knives at a non occupied Zombie.=+=

"I Roll to range attack with throwing knives." [Picking up a D20 and a D4] "It's still this damage right?"

[saikyocivrobo]

Yeah, because zombies are even more original.

[Prometheus raises his finger, soundlessly declaring something, and throws some dice.]

Sir Rupert laughs at the minions of evil and charges at them with his fiery blade, swinging it for... +15 attack bonus? 3d6+15 damage +2d8 fire? Really? This can't be right. Let me see that sheet.

[Struggle between Werter and Prometheus, proceed!]

By the way, feel free to jump into the game as if you've been there from the beginning

[hobo_lantern]

Matthew's bard's songs takes effect. The zombies closest to you begin to dance!.

With that distraction, all of your attacks managed to kill most of the zombies. There are still some stray zombies chewing people, but none of you are in immediate danger anymore.

But suddenly! You hear a load roar. The tavern suddenly start to catch fire! And the roof is collapsing! Oh no!

[infinite_blue]

=+=The Masked hunter pulls the knife out of the zombie and braces under a table. "What is that?" the rogue asked.=+=

"Nice singing there."

[Said with a smile to Matthew.]

=+="You guys need to get out of here, now!!"=+=

[saikyocivrobo]

Well, that was fast. I pull out some meat from my backpack, throw it to the zombies as a distraction to let everyone get away, and quickly escape from the tavern!

[Prometheus gesticulates wildly.]

Sir Rupert the Amazing smashes through the wall while yelling "oh yeah". I can't believe he actually bought the ability to do that.

[gurrenbrigbonded]

"The Bard uses 'Stage Voice' to rally all the surviving civilians and get them to retreat out through the back!" Matthew declares, rolling a semi-decahedron dice.

"He also finishes off the remaining zombies that are grappling people with a bodkin."

[hobo_lantern]

Most of you manages to survive from the collapsing roof without more than bumps and bruises. And moreover, you manages to survive some civilians too! Nice going! But...

[hobo_lantern]

One side of the tavern has almost totally collapsed. Not counting the roof that's basically gone too. And from there, you can see the source of the previous roar.

It's a giant dragon, its blue scales gleam under the moonlit night. And on top of it, stands a person clad in full plate armor.

"This town has been infested by undeads. By the right granted to me by King Smith, I, Spencerius the Paladin, the Rider of the Land Dragon, will cleanse this town.... with FIRE!"

And the dragon starts to spew fires at the buildings around it!

[saikyocivrobo]

[Prometheus points forward.]

Sir Rupert challenges the other knight to a duel.

As for me, I pull out a pie from my backpack and throw at him.

[Prometheus just stares.]

[gurrenbrigbonded]

Matthew picks up another dice.

"Jace the Bard raises a shaking finger at the Paladin. You! You were the one who killed...My Father! he says."

Matthew grimaces at the mention of the word 'father'.

"I should make a composure roll to keep Jace from attacking the dragon rider head on, quiaff?"

[littleshortforanelemental]

Nikolai looks a little peeved. Zombies, then a dragon, then a rival? Was Herb just going to keep introducing new enemies every time he realized he hadn't thought through what to do after introing the first set?

"I surreptitiously prepare a Buff and Light spell." He says, rolling his dice for his very low target number Deception check.

[foreheadboy]

Um... I... I call upon Ezpar's blessing. Might as well get all our saving roll's ready...
