The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Back by popular demand, and immense pressure on Bob:

The Good:

Mara took careful aim with her bow at the zombie and let fly two
arrows in quick succession. The first found home in the thing's eye
socket. The second arrow neatly split the first arrow in half in an
amazing display of marksmanship. (natural 20)

It's brain destroyed, the zombie went down in a heap, truly lifeless.


The Bad:

The heroes found themselves surrounded by masses of undead. Filled
with a breathless malevolence, zombies advanced on the party. There
would be no parlay. No negotiation, no surrender. No rest until
either the party members joined their ranks or the dead were finally
put to rest.

"Stay close!" barked Ekerrath . "Remember, focus fire!".

Suddenly, the winged statues in the alcove stepped from their
pedestals and flew above the heroes. At the same time, the murky pool
began to bubble and more dead started climbing out of watery depths.

"Oh, that's not good..." muttered Rudy.

The Ugly:

Dripping, soaking deadly monstrosities crawled from the pool,
approaching the dragonborn and the human. They each grabbed
mindlessly at warm flesh, grabbing hold in an iron grip. The human,
filled with a blood rage, kept slashing at the beast, oblivious to the
danger as it slowly dragged him under. The two of them disappeared
beneath the water. Two bubbles popped the surface, and nothing more.
