Grimacing at the idea of what his uncle Fengel would say if he heard that Deor had left the party’s flank open, Deor will seal off the passage full of zombies to his left with a Web, then step back and let the Dwarves do their work.
Hraedsig will attempt to Turn the corpses in front of him, then form as much of a shield wall as possible and start slashing.
Bitur concurs with Gwaellur and the shield wall should advance once the north flank is secured. Bitur recommends that Gil-Gandel stay behind the shield wall until the enemy is engaged and/or the leading corpses are cleared, but that’s largely up to Gil-Gandel what he wants to do.
I have only seven rounds’ worth of this - let’s not waste it.
Gwent erthad golodhrim a nogothrim! Lasto nin húl: Gel ben gurth! Gel ben gurth!
I’m holding your left flank, and Jari and Vili will cover you, I’m sure. Go! I’m just as excited as you are.
Ok, everyone forward! Let’s not let the elf waste his flaming sword.
At the other end of the hallway, Sir Thoroncir is giving it his all.

The bold purple underlined people indicate dark crags overhead. Blue dead = Turned
Deor’s Web blocks the North passage.
Gwaelur, Bitur, Jari & Víli march forward shield to shield. Gwaelur lets loose a blast of light that drops all 12 corpses and injures the Wight for 22. Gil-Gandel charges through the Dwarves and hits the Wight with his long sword and a glancing blow with the flaming short for another 22. Bitur’s war shield slams into the Wight but he misses with his axe. Gwaelur sees that 4 more Wights are about 100’ off. Jari & Víli ensure the corpses stay down. Mulligan yells “duck” and sends a chalcedony stone into the Wight which lets out a painful keen as it drops.
Thoroncir finds his arrows useless and switches to Cirist and Shield
Hraedsig turns 6 of the dead, buying some time in the confusion.
Elfstan takes the opportunity to backstab one with Kkósal bane. It drops
Ghân casts Produce Fire on the dead in the southern passage. He lights up 9 of them and causes light damage to all of them. one Dwarf takes 2 points of damage but does not catch fire.
The Dwarves are attacking the Corpses that dropped down and those that Ghân lit up. They drop the two in the middle and hoist torches high into the hole over their heads. Two Dwarves are injured near the south passage.
Gilraen again sings of Estë, Eärendil and Elbereth as her bauble flares and the 9 flaming corpses from the south drop.
Deor stands ready and is happy to see the Web doing the job.
**Gwaelur and Gil-Gandel see the 4 Wights are not approaching. **
Elfstan, Thoroncir, Hraedsig and the Dwarf wade into the dead as Brin puts more arrows into them to annoy them. Cirist and Kkósal bane seem to kill these foes. The Axes and Hraedsig Sword and Shield harm but do not stop.
Sorry for the delay, I was giving Glee a little longer and the graphics proved tricky.
Do there seem to be any other side entrances between us and those skulking Wights? If not, there are four Dwarves and myself with a clear run at them… 
The path to the Wights appears to have a small passage to the left (north) that would only let one through at a time but of course the ceiling could prove difficult.
If you don’t insist on a sprint, I can pin corpses to the ceiling with Web. I’m also holding a Fireball ready. I’d prefer not to try either of these; I have only so many spells. Let’s hold on until we can advance in good order; if I learned anything from Uncle Fengel’s tales in the cavalry, it’s that the maintenance of good order is important. Those wights probably want us to charge them; it separates us from the rest of the group.
Awesome map. I love those little webs!
Hraedsig is happy to let the Turned corpses run away. They can be dealt with later after the Wights and undead from side passages are dealt with.
Those bullets were a really good investment 
How long will your web hold for, Deor?
Good point Deor, we don’t need to rush off and isolate ourselves, we have some time still to help mop up the attack at our backs.
I will need to make my way back to Gilraen eventually to have my helm recharged and I need to take a second to collect any bolts I may or may not have fired (did I end up firing them?) and reload with more of the mithril bolts.
Thoroncir keeps hacking away with his longsword and blocking with his shield. Elendil!
Agreed - cool map!
[ooc]The DM has reminded me that I have 14 rounds of [color=red]flame, not seven.[/color][/ooc]
I think we could risk it, but I agree we need not - hold formation, then, and deal with those at the back.
Ditto on the map!
Ghân will use:
- Produce Flame provided it appears to work on the Undead
- Goodberries on lightly injured party members
- Flame Blade if he is forced into melee with Undead

The bold purple underlined people indicate dark crags overhead. Blue dead = Turned
Deor’s Web continues to blocks the North passage.
Gwaelur, Bitur, Jari & Víli from up on either side of Gil-Gandel where the passage widens. Mulligan moves up.
**Gwaelur and Gil-Gandel see the 4 Wights are not approaching. **
Gilraen Destroys the pair behind her that dropped from the ceiling.
Elfstan kills the corpse in front of him and Thoroncir his.
Hraedsig has both that were in front of him down and the Dwarves have one on fire.
The last three are injured and being dismembered.
The Dwarves and the southern passage toss the dead flaming bodies in the passage and toss oil on top.
Gilraen turns north and Destroys the bunch that are webbed and behind.
Don’t mess with the princess! :eek:
