WOLVERINESGet the hell out!
Finish armor, with an overpowered holy water pitch into the weak spot!
Again! This time on it's head!
Be like a shield and protect everyone[except the armor...] from any killing blows!
Forget the doctor, throw the gypsy. Over the cliff.
(8. lol) This time, Wymar vanished. There was a Wymar-shaped outline in the world where he had been. Where the hell had he gone? (Wymar has left the battle! You can hang out if you want, Darvi, but you'll be unable to attack / be attacked / interact with the fight at all, and can come back once it's over. Oh, and by the way... if everyone runs, you'll have to fight this guy again only he'll be back to full health/mana, so I don't recommend it. :3) While he was retreating, Daniel kept on the armor with the cross. (-1 MP. 4 vs 4+3) This time, though, it got its shield in the way and prevented him from doing further harm.
Greenmoore continued to lob water like grenades. (-1 MP. 5 vs 4+3) In a spot of luck for the armor, the shield was also in the way of the holy water, and it shattered against it. Daniel got a little wet but it wasn't really a major issue. (Target gone, random target: 4, the boar. 3+1 vs 1) The Heavy Armor shoved Daniel aside and charged the boar, grabbing it by one of the front legs! With a quick yank it unseated Frenz, throwing him to the ground, and lifted the quadruped into the air. (Since this is an NPC -without hands to catch itself - I don't feel the least bit bad about making this an instant death roll. 6+1 vs 2) It spun once and flung the boar, which went flying over the edge of the cliff! So much for that thing. (The boar has collided with an obstacle and died.)
Frenz got back to his feet and raised his hands in defense. (8; +3 defense. Guess I'll be a nice guy and let it carry over to next turn.) His stance was perfect, and he was ready to intercept all attacks aimed towards him and the doctor.
NIGHTCRAWLERScharge marcus, if any zombie comes in my way ... good luck stopping me.
Charge my way through the zombies and stab Marcus! My mighty armor will protect me.
Slash the hell out of Marcus.
"That isn't just a creature of the Night is it..." Zathyran looked closer, his eyes widening in disbelief. "Even you, my noble brother...? Foul creatures of the night... Are my enemy. This day, you are my target!!" Seeing the others attack Marcus, Zathyran does the smart thing: Throw a lightning bolt at a zombie.
Chainsaw -> Random Target
1 Guard Marcus, 2 & 3 Bite -> Random Targets
(4, Zathyran) From between the zombies came a loud buzzing sound, and Marcus suddenly dashed out from between them carrying a strange weapon! (7 vs 5-1. Major Success, 2d8; 11 damage. 2 uses left before refuel, Marcus regens 4 HP.) He went straight for his former apprentice, slashing him across the torso with this new weapon and drawing a large amount of blood. Before he could inflict lethal damage, though, Pierre ran in to make the save with his blitz rapier! (6+1 vs 7+2-3; 6+1 Major Success (4 so one additional die is added), 2d6+1d6; 14 damage) He pierced the hunter's chest to the hilt and shoved him back away from the new arrival.
Malleus followed the Frenchman's lead, charging Marcus as well. (2+1 vs 8+2-3) But the hunter had recovered, and Malleus's axe only met his chainsaw! After a brief struggle, Marcus shoved him back, and the knight was only barely able to keep on his feet from the man's supernaturally increased strength. Claire attempted to take advantage of the opening Malleus created... (7 vs 4+2-3; 5-1 BH Minor Failure) ...but it was in vain as he brought the weapon around and blocked her slash as well, the spinning steel of the chainsaw almost ripping the cutlass from her hands!
While they were all occupied with Marcus, the zombies were shambling forward. (1; zombie 1 completely fails to defend Marcus. 2, 2; zombies swarm Pierre. 8 vs 1+3; Major Success, 2d4; 7 damage. 8 vs 3+3; Massive Success, 2d4x2; 14 damage. 21 total) One zombie sneaked up behind Pierre and bit him on the nape of the neck; the other bit into his shoulder as he reared back in pain. Before anyone could do anything about it, they had drug him to the ground... but Zathyran intended to save him! (-2 MP. 5 vs 2; Massive Success 2d4x2+1d4x2; 18 damage to Zombie {1}) The lightning bolt went a little wild, however, and struck the fail-zombie. Appropriately enough.

@Darvi: Normally you'd get a class evolution at 25 8s, but since it's been pretty much established now that we're moving those exclusively to after a boss is killed you get a skill-up instead.
@Talarion: Going by consecutive turns that's two 8s in a row, so a skill-up for you.
