And Ding. Cleric went up to 5th, which meant 3rd level spells. She ended up choosing Detect Evil for 1st and Continuous Healing for 3rd. And the party has some powerful zombie guardians for a while ahead - which means they wanted to hit a target worthy of their tough enslaved companions.

Wyn grabbed his end of the table. “Don’t let dem get away!”
“Get this table trail turned around,” Brendon added, pointing ahead. “Don’t let it get to the door!”
"Just a bit closer and I think we got 'em,” Kovid said, grabbing his end of the table. “And you! Try not to waste any more ale!" The two of them ran forward with the heavy table, Abraxas and Lyra keeping right up with them, the Cleric forcing the two Guardians to shamble forward but feeling they might not make it this round.
As for the Fighter, as they were moving quicker than the Guardians, he came upon the Lone Guardian first, arced his Scythe back, and hacked forward (>+6 to hit, Blue 15), ripping the Guardian’s neck and skull wide open (1d8+3 Damage, Blue 1 – 4 Damage and killed!) and then dropping it to the floor. “The Blanco next!” he growled.
“If he starts to get too far,” Lyra said, “I say we abandon the table and go in swinging. He’s looking pretty rough.”
Meanwhile the three remaining Guardians, Chuckles, Asshole, and Idiot Too, all shuddered and swelled up a bit more, a deepening aura running through them. “Each one of us who falls makes the remaining Guardians that much stronger,” Chuckles intoned.
“Got it. Thanks for the heads up,” Lyra snarked.
Seeing the Wight holding its lone chair up and ready to hurl it, Lannis drew his Ishtari Rod out and leveled it at the Hobgoblin. "We should probably finish this before we draw unwanted attention." Taking aim he squeezed its handle and (1d3+1 Darts: Pink 6: 3+1 – 4 Darts!) FOUR darts tore from the end of the rod and streaked across the chamber (+6 to hit: =Pink 9, >Pink 17, >Pink 19, <White 7) where three of the deadly missiles tore through the undead hobgoblin (1d6 Damage: 2 + 5 +5 = 12 Damage and killed!!). It flipped, spun, and was killed with multiple shafts sticking out of its necrotic flesh.
The other 2 Guardians both uttered, “Each one of us who falls makes the remaining Guardians that much stronger.”
“And dats how we do it,” Wyn said with a smile, looking over at the multiple Lannis’ with an arched eyebrow before shutting the door and leaning against it. “Now wot dew we do?”
Lyra rocked back half a step, a wind whipping across her body, adding vitality to her stance and a sparkle to her eyes. A faint ‘ding’ was heard somewhere in her vicinity. Smiling, she looked the three remaining Guardians over with a critical eye (Heal check, ½ wis: <White 4). “Chuckles is lightly wounded, just got smashed with a ale cask.” (Down to 13/16)
“By the way,” Kovid said with a pout, “That was BULLSHIT. Next time, Chuckles. Catch it.” He looked over, seeing 1 cask still good, the other had leaked out all over the floor from the sprung boards.
“Asshole,” she pointed to the 2nd Guardian, “He’s fine.” (16/16)
“And that Idiot?” Lannis asked, thumbing at the Guardian with its guts torn open and dangling around its knees like a skirt.
“He’s pretty far gone,” she muttered (Down to 2/16), “But unlike you and I, regardless of how wounded they are, it doesn’t affect them at all.”
“Can you fix them, Senora?” Abraxas asked.
She shook her head. “No.” She did tap her chin with her finger. “And that’s ok. Because this potion isn’t going to last forever either. And as soon as it’s over,” All 3 Guardians turned to look at her, “I have a feeling they are going to take some vengeance against us.”
The Magic User leaned over to Lyra and whispered loudly. “Against you. Just you.”
