Crown of the Kobold King (Inactive)

Game Master Seldlon the Swift

Something like that. I want to hear more about your father when we get you out of here.

Zevon nods to Reinar.

Ready. I will provide support once they attack.

Rhen's blade flashes in the darkness showing that he is ready.

Axe and shield ready, Reinar walks closer to the skeletons, waiting for a reaction.

No reaction, Reinar. Please move your tokens where you want them or tell me where to put them.

"Ugh...Weird...", Reinar will walk up to a skeleton and gently poke it. "...Wake up, buddy, i want to kill you again."

The skeleton claws at Reinar through a narrow opening in its alcove.
claw v AC 19 : 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (3) - 3 = 0

Seeing the skeleton attack through the alcove, Zevon begins to realize the situation. He calls out to Reinar,

Are they able to escape their sepulchers?

Reinar notices that the iron grate behind the skeleton appears intact. The narrow front opening the skeleton reached through would make fighting very difficult.

Zevon approaches the corridor.

It seems that skeletons will be free to rend us as we pass. I wonder if we would be able to crawl below their reach. There is one technique I can try if we are unable to avoid their grasp. However, it is new and may not be powerful enough to destroy them.

Zevon will inspect the alcove, trying to determine if there is a position one could take to be out of reach.

can we get low enough to avoid the claws?

No way to avoid the claws passing down the corridor.

"I can just crush all of them, but that might take a while..."

"Aye I can try to cut off a hand or two as well. We could just duck and dodge by em."

That may be a foregone conclusion, but I would be remiss if I did not attempt to destroy as many as I can. Hold until I am clear. Either way I will meet you at the child.

Zevon begins to hum, the sound reminiscent of his past cure spells. He dives and rolls into the center of the corridor, the sound reverberating through the alcoves.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

The third skeleton claws at Zevon through a narrow opening in its alcove.
claw v AC 16: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (1) - 3 = -2

The blast of positive energy infuriates the skeletons, dealing various levels of damage.

Let's just hack our way through. If we just pass through, we warriors will pass by mostly unharmed. But the ch-ch-ch...

Bulgard pinches the bridge of his nose, closes his eyes and takes a deep breath.

The kids may not make it through!

He draws his great sword and charges a skeleton. He will await the decision of his comrades before sewing destruction.

Rhen makes it past the first skeleton. The second claws at him.

North, to the alcove!

Kimi whispers to Edgrin "Are they gonna die, Edgrin?"

"Shhh....Courageous rescuers, they are." Edgrin struggles with the longsword that is as taller than he is. He tries to work up the courage to join his heroes.

"So you piles of bones can actually move, eh? Well you're not getting past that door!", Reinar turns and swings at the skeleton close to the door (blue).

Rhen looks back at the children then ahead, "Best ta end this fast so we can get outta here with them children."

Rhen plows a head again, Acrobatics: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Rhen's acrobatics fail the DC 15 and draw an attack of opportunity. He remains in the current square.
claw v ac 19: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

We n-need to retreat to the northern alcove!

Zevon's crossbow goes off before he aimed it. Fortunately no one was hurt. Bulgard misses the headless skeleton that challenges him.

Edgrin whispers "Zevon, how is it going in there? Do you need my aid? I hear lots and lots of fighting"

Less than ideal. I would not advise opening that door, unless you wish to draw the attention of half a dozen undead. Remember, those children and their safety are your priority.

"There's half of em"

"Edgrin, where is the rest of this party?"

"The forge spurned has Jurin. Hollin was taken back below. The rescuers are fighting undead skeletons behind this door."
