Jones ducks and weaves around the skeletons to get closer to the curate, then Studies and stabs her. If he can't reach her in one move, he will attack one of the skeletons instead.
Jones backflips over a skeleton and stabs the Curate. She succumbs to her myriad burn wounds with a gasp.
Sledge explodes two more skele-men, getting sprayed with bone shards and scorched by WHITE HOT FIYAH.
Darius moves to whip a 'flaming' skeleington.. oh my~
Darius explodes another skeleton!
The remaining skele-man attacks Sledge.
but misses.
Zin is entranced by the faint flickerings of fire littering this battlefield. She notices nothing of importance.
Sledge punches the last Skelly Belly.
Sledge deals a completely unnecessary amount of damage to the last skeleton, which is too startled to even properly explode, merely expiring with a *pop*.
Darius seems pleased with himself but notes the current resources of the group though he seemed fully recovered himself. " Can you all continue, we have cleared quite a few areas out with the assistance of the Princes Wolves.. there cannot be much more.... however the Leader of the Jezeldans has not been found either. Not to mention clearly one who might know more. And there hasnt been a survivor... this does not bode well. "
Sledge will listen at the door of each one before entering.
Sledge hears nothing at the door to what appears to be an old, abandoned inn.
Upon opening the door, you are greeted by the sight of a ghost.
He looks over at you when you come in, but then returns to the business at hand: Tying a noose in a ghostly piece of rope he's holding.
"Well, have fun with that."
Sledge turns around and heads out.
"Let's ignore that one as long as it isn't overtly hostile."
Darius narrows his eyes and thinks on this.. 'ghost'
Ghosts are intelligent undead, and one of the few undead types that aren't always evil.
They re-enact the last moments of their life in many cases, playing over the same scene again and again until someone helps them complete their unfinished business and pass on. Even if destroyed in combat, ghosts reform a matter of days or even hours later, and enact their scenes again.
Despite this seemingly mindless fixation on a single event, they are self-aware, and can communicate, though many ghosts are...surly at best. It would require a skilled diplomat to break through an unfriendly ghost's facade of mindlessness.
Darius does the Detect Tango.
No Evil, yes Chaos.
As you finish those, the man finishes tying his noose and prepares to hang himself.
Darius also recalls that ghosts who finish their scene will likely become hostile.
"Yeah I'm with Sledge, to hell with all that, let's go somewhere else."
" You all can leave we are far enough away to escape if need be. "
He turns to the ghost as it is about to hang itself and shouts at it, " Hey! Do not complete that which your are about to do.. It is a waste of time and suffering, why are you here? How did you die? "
Darius looks to the party, " I sense no evil from it, much like the undead from before. You know, the ones you didnt burn who were turned into what they were by Grines? " A portion of that obviously directed at Zin.
The host goes about his business, finishing the noose and tossing it over the rafters. The ghost is yanked up, twitches and gasps for a while, then stills.
A moment later it reanimates, and attacks!
He lets out a blood curdling moan.
But everyone manages to stand their ground.
Darius spits, " Fine then We will just deal with you later
Jones nopes the f*ck out of there.
Sledge walks away.
You flee, and the ghost follows...but only as far as the doorway.
You circle the building to get around to F11...and are greeted by two Demon Wolves guarding the front door of the old Mill adjacent to the inn.

Jones circles around one of the wolves and stabby stabs.
