Dave, Fist of Odin
I too drink a healing potion, so as not to give away our position by casting. BR: 5. I think that puts me at 21/22, yes? Then I get ready to cast Hold Person on any damn people who come into this barn.
Then, in case things are moving quickly and I'm a slack-ass at posting, I'll cast Silence on any spellcasters who aren't held, and then bring an angry Bobcat into the fray, and then (unless someone's hella wounded) start clobbering with my mace.
Please note that I continue to take Cause Light Wounds so that I can cure Mike, Our Zombie Friend.
And Geez - that new zombie DOES look familiar! Hmmm - is it someone we killed? We kill a lot of people, you know, so they all get muddled together.
