[so, when I said 'behind Drezden' I was intending the square North of Drezden, but it's fine. i guess i could have been more clear]

Kendrivel lashes out with his sithak against the stinky, fugly, icky undead no-good baddie.

Drezden rising his own health being closest to Zedd attempts to bid Zedd's wounds to at least prevent him from bleeding to death.

[Rax]

"Dallion! See if you can cut your way clear so we can take up a better defensive position!" Malavar calls out. However, with nowhere to go for the moment, he strikes again at the giant skeleton, hoping to prevent it from striking down Drezden as the dwarf tends to Zedd.

Drezden kneels down and starts to patch up Zedd, trying to keep him from bleeding out.  He does so, but now he has both giant skeletons and a zombie on him, and he manages to get bruised a bit by one of the former.  Kendrivel and Dallion both slash their weapons at the zombies, but the walking corpses don't seem to even be affected by the blows.  Malavar puts another big crack in one of the giant skeletons; a couple more blows like that, and he should destroy it.

Meanwhile, the remaining zombies close the ranks, and the party is now entirely surrounded, with nowhere to go.  Most of them manage to dodge the flurry of blows coming at them, but Kendrivel is unlucky and takes a hit, going down.  This will allow the zombies to move in closer now, tightening their circle around the remaining three heroes.

[Daos]

Drezden turns his attention away from the giant skeletons, and instead targets one of the zombies.  With a slash of his enchanted blade, he manages to sever the corpse's left arm straight off.  While this would likely kill or at least stun a living man, the zombie barely seems to notice.  Before it can retaliate, though, the giant skeletons both slam their clubs into Drezden hard, nearly knocking the dwarf off his feet.  Only through grim determination does he fight back the darkness threatening to overtake him, and remain conscious.

Dallion cuts his blade into a zombie's shoulder, then quickly picks up the fallen Sword of the Dales.  The elf feels a surge of power coming from the weapon; but will it be enough to save him?

Malavar slams his spear once more into the second giant skeleton, striking it right in the spine at just the right angle, causing the entire thing to fall apart, clattering to the ground.

The priest's victory is short-lived, however.  The zombies move in closer, tightening their ranks, and attacking from all sides.  Unable to withstand any more, Drezden goes down.  Dallion takes a glancing blow, but Malavar is able to fend off all of the attacks with his shield.

Dallion's assessment of the situation proves quite apt. Although he manages to use the Sword of the Dales to cut down one of the zombies, another one quickly pummels the bladesinger into submission shortly after.  Malavar is now left alone, the zombies and remaining giant skeleton surrounding him from all sides, his acquaintances all laying on the ground, dying.  Things appear quite grim, indeed.

Malavar holds his icon aloft and calls out to his god.  In response, there is a flash of white light as divine power courses through Malavar's mortal frame--only a fraction of the god's true power, but enough to frighten about half of the zombies clawing at him.  All of the remaining zombies lurch away in terror, toward the southern end of the room to join their skeletal companions.  The giant skeleton, however, appear unaffected.

The giant skeleton swats at Malavar with its club, striking the side of his head for a glancing blow.  At around the same time, the earlier blessing from Tempus fades.
