LOST TRAILS OOC

VIEW CONTENT:

Notice signs of some sort of activity within the ruin: rustling thorn-bushes, a flash as of sunlight on steel, rising dust, pebbles rolling down a heap of rubble by a wall segment.

If no one else can stop our quarry by the time Klokulf's turn comes around again, he'll send dancing lights to circle the runner and try bluffing to make the lad think the lights will kill him if he continues to flee.

I think we have lost initiative, the way it is described and the lad is already inside the ruins.

If someone other than Klokulf wants to nab/attack the boy as he enters the ruins, it can happen now.

The party has the initiative, but I interrupted the ordinary sequence because Klokulf's sudden lunge and grab was rather a surprise.

Given that he possesses a certain feat, Sir Clive could certainly stride forward and attack as the boy scrambles for safety of the ruined walls.
Or at least move close and attack any foe that presents itself.

Based on my last communication from the player, I will advance the scene (a FB message. I've killed FB to save time for writing,. but I am not pulling the plug on the game!).

[kintire]

Kat will try and support her companions, waiting for the enemies to engage, then flanking them, using tumble not to get flanked herself!

sneak attack does not apply (not without certain special feats or magic)

Sorry. Busy week.

Casting Divine Power. Walk to engage one of the creatures (hopefully in a way so that the fight remains one-on-one.

Also, I'm gonna guess Religion for identifying these critters.

Walking dead, probably created by necromantic magic and either mindless or dim-witted.
It's likely that their controller or master lurks nearby, unless perhaps these creatures were set in place as guards and ordered to attack anyone who entered the central ruin.
There's no sign they attacked that creepy kid, though...
Given Klokulf's previous impressive demonstration of power over the undead, back in the dungeons under the Grim Bastion (in Benn's lost homeworld), one might find it somewhat surprising that his attempt to rebuke these monsters failed utterly. Yet it did fail. They may be stronger than the common sort of what Sourangien lore calls 'zombis' or else some dark magical force may have protected them against the Lawgiver's power.

Benn can move to one of the two gaps in the walls in the SW corner of the map. Sir Clive and Katrin are double-teaming a monster in the other gap.

This positioning may help keep Benn from getting surrounded and swarmed, at least for a while.
