We're looking down the barrel of a full party wipe!
Last night saw our dead druid arrive with a new character, a human witch. She meets up with our gnome kineticist in the market when they both intervene in a domestic violence event. Rather than confront the man in the market, our gnome follows him to his home and lobs a brick through his window. Man proceeds to come outside and punch him unconscious with nonlethal fisticuffs. Our witch arrives at the scene and heals him, sneaks up to the window and peeks inside, whereupon our wifebeater comes out with a crossbow and tells them all to
get off his lawn.
Gnome decides to throw more crap at the guy, and gets knocked unconscious again, waking up in the local guard lockup and spending the night in a cell. Witch doesn't get arrested since witnesses don't report her getting in on the fight. The guards release the gnome the next day with a stern warning that he's not to go near the house again, and he meets back up with our witch to thank her for the healing the previous day.
He's present when our witch gets a task given by the leader of her local coven to go investigate a local farmer's troubles with reported zombies on his land. She decides it'd be good to have another person along, so she casts Sow Thought on him to get his assistance, which works. They meet up with the third party member, an elf magus/cavalier, and go investigate the farm, tracking the zombie's path into a nearby wood.
Encounter time! Four void zombies are seen deep inside the wood, and two get taken down with ranged attacks before the rest can close with the party. Then things go south. The elf goes down bleeding with one shot, the witch has no spells that can affect undead, and the gnome gets chased around the forest for six rounds and seemingly cannot roll higher than a five on his attack rolls. A critical fumble roll lands the witch unconscious for four rounds, and her familiar actually does a decent job tanking the third zombie before it gets hit and goes down bleeding.
We end the session with all three characters unconscious. The witch has stabilised, but the gnome and the elf are both bleeding out slowly. The good news is that next session our party samurai should be present, meaning it's up to him to come save the day before his companions get eaten by zombies!
