Meh, if the the zombie attacks first, we technically become the victims, making it perfectly acceptable for us to beat the ever-loving daylights out of him and call it self-defense, then rob his corpse and leave without actually doing anything to solve the town's zombie problem or figure out who is behind it.

Works for me.

If they don't attack first, we attack anyway, because they are zombies.

Aw, screw it. I'll go be the meatshield for a round so we can see what kind of attacks he has. (HEY GUYS GUESS WHO'S ABOUT TO GET POISONED)

Depending on what the zombie does, I can then either use attack/knockback or start casting.

Bello's words came from the heart. You tell me a better explanation for our actions.

See this? This is why our team is awesome.

Whee, time to get back to postin' stuff.

Oh you people and your trying to distract/run away from/get hurt by the skinless petrification apes. It can't hurt you if it's dead!

You bastard! My planssssssssss!

Technically, I believe Ark's attack will land next round. He needs to move a Medium Range to reach the Zombie - though it may just count as a Slow Action, since he's committed to it this turn. Either way!

Arden's trying to break whatever guard the Zombie Overlord may attempt. So, her attack probably won't land until the next turn either! Hopefully, a well-timed shot will make it die vulnerable defenseless.

Now, everyone, let us crush them with words* from the heart!

*Posts are made of words.

Scan is an instant action, so Ark still has enough action to move a short range distance, thus making him short range from target. So I just edited my post for Ark to make the short range movement to be able to attack.

That's not how it works. You can't move a short range to enter melee range with someone at medium range.
