Unable to cast, both zombies attempt to get free
Alice remains in control of her zombie, Nixie's unable to keep hers and he escapes the grapple, then stands, he casts Fear.
A phantasmal image of your worst nightmare appears above the zombie causing Olga, Helga, and Alice to quake with fear. Alice, Olga and Helga are frightened and will remain so until a successful saving throw. Olga and Helga are compelled to dash away next turn. Alice's line of sight is blocked giving her a saving throw or be compelled to dash away from Ghoul Zombie 2.
[Alice rolls a 1 with the d20 and decides to leave.]
With her body still in the puny liquid emergency survival mode, Alice cannot control her fear, disengages and dashes away as fast as she can.

Yulya sighs with relief seeing Ashleys summons tackle the ghoul approaching her.
But the relief is short and soon 3 party members are on the run. As soon as Yulya regains her composure she takes action. Two can play this game!  With 2 points of the staff she casts Magic Missiles on the zombie on the stairs this time amplified with the goblin staff. After everyones actions - if both zombies are still up Yulya moves to the NW corner of the platform and casts Channel Divinity Turn Undead forcing the zombie ghouls to retreat. If only one zombie is left Yulya will attack him with Toll the Dead boosted with the focus to lv2. Should he still be left after her Toll the Dead attack, Yulya will retreat 30ft SW onto the western platform and avert her eyes

With confusion Cat sees Alice letting go of the zombie and run off
Damnit Nya what are you doing Alice Nya?

Cat gives temp HP to Nixie and continues to attack the ghoul with her claws using Nick.

[Round 3]

Frightened, Olga, Helga and Alice Dash directly away as far as they/them can go, Alice lets loose her prone, grappled prey.



Cat gives Nixie THP then slashes at the still prone ghoul zombie 1.

[2d8=9]

[HIT(A) 1d20+5+1d4=(14,CR)][DMG 1d6+5+2=12x2 weakness to slashing]

GZ1 takes 24 slashing damage and ceases to be re-unalived.

Nixie slashes at GZ2

[HIT(A) vs AC16 1d20+2+5+1d4=(9,14),(13,25)][CON vs DC15 1d20+3=11][DMG 1d6+3+2=8x2 weakness to slashing]

GZ1 takes 16 slashing damage and is also killed.

Yulya stands astonished that the threat has ended and doesn't know what to do with herself.

"Yeah Nixie! I even forgot to rally you. Shred these fools, tear their spines from their pathetic corpses, and place their severed heads on pikes to warn the others. Crush their skulls and consume the flesh so that they will never rise again."

[The threat is neutralized, please let me know what you intend to do next, I presume continue to rest.]
[You have earned 4124 EXP!]

Alice stops short of jumping into the lake to hide underwater as she realizes the threat is gone. She hesitantly returns to Yulya like a dog that has been caught doing something bad.
My apologies to let you see such shameful behavior. This body - is not made for fighting. I must regain my former strength...

Alice returns to the tent and hones her spear.
Still for those guys to revive - I should have disposed of their bodies earlier.
Yulya is this normal in this world or the work of some magic user?

But she is just glad its over after the cats and Alice panicked
They were capable spellcasters I underestimated this...

I am certainly no expert on ghouls but I would not rule out a necromancer behind this. We must stay vigilant!
Yulya refills her focus and goes to rest in the tent.
