We'll be fine, He says tiredly. We just need a few moments to catch our breathe. right, Othniel?
"Yes, I think I'll be fine. I was wondering what that was that came over me all of a sudden. Good to know."
"I'm guessing that means we should be wary of traps. Do you want to take those few moments before we head down the tunnel?" Finnegan gestures towards the left tunnel he and Andrea had discussed taking.
Might be good to check to see if the trap will not rearm in case we need to retreat.
Alexander nods, Agreed. The trigger must be here near the skeleton.
You all take several minutes to catch your breath and to let Othniel assess the trap.
After that is done, you head down the left hand tunnel. Looking into the room, you see that the walls of the dusty chamber are decorated with mosaic scenes of hunting and battle. Six biers line the walls, the resting places of respected warriors.
I predict tears if we try to loot, it always happens. So who first?
"We need to be cautious. There is already one trap we've encountered. There may be others."
Alexander shrugs, Take your time. We're in no rush. He patiently waits as the others check for traps.
Well let us cover them back up and continue checking the other passageways.
Looks like things are safe, shall we try the other passageway?
"Let's check if there's anything of value here, first."Once Othniel says there is no trap here, Finnegan will step into the room in an on-guard position. If nothing happens, he will begin looking through the room for any loot.
As soon as someone steps over the threshold to the room, the skeletons begin to rise from their biers, still holding onto rusty weapons from yesteryears.
Alexander chuckles, Oh good, some excitement.
"You know, given that trap in the central area, I shouldn't be surprised by this." Finnegan then studies the nearest skeleton before loosing a blunt arrow at it.
Othniel quickly casts Mage Armor on himself and draws his blades.
Hmm..I seem to be lacking a good club to bash these with. Andrea decides that some shield bashing will have to do.
Othniel smiles and flourishes his swords. "You and me both, sister."
Eduard will start to summon a small fire elemental near the skeletons.
Eduard will pull out a crossbow just in case, and have the elemental attack.
Alexander draws his sword and lifts it to point at the closest skeleton. Let's put these poor souls back to rest!
As the skeletons advance, Othniel fires off a couple of rounds of acid at the nearest of them.
plus sneak attack if applicable:
plus sneak attack if applicable:
Andrea will bash with her light metal shield
Blunt damage
Alexander casts Glitter dust at some of the skeletons.
Eduard begins to summon a fire elemental.
Finnegan hits a skeleton with a blunt arrow, knocking out some of its ribs.
The skeleton rise up and begin to come at your group.
Andrea bashes a skeleton with her shield.
Othniel fires off some acid at one and its bones begin to sizzle.
Alexander inspire courage.
Eduard's elemental slams into a skeleton.
And the bones and remnants of clothing begin to smolder and then catch on fire.
Finnegan fires off another arrow.
And downs the skeleton.
One skeleton is down, three skeletons swing their rusty blades at thin air and two advance on your group
Othniel fires off another blob of acid and the bones sizzle some more.
Taking a step back from the skeleton swinging a sword at him, Finnegan studies it and the one in front of Andrea before loosing a blunt arrow into it.
Eduard will cast Acid Splash at the most damaged skeleton.
The elemental will slam the same target.
Othniel attempts to circle around the nearest skeleton, setting up a flank.
Andrea keeps swatting with her shield.I have to get myself a mace, I hear it is a classic weapon of clergy.
Four skeletons go down from your combined efforts, leaving just one blinded skeleton still up.
With the bones of the skeletons crunching underneath your feet, you are free to enter this small (20x20) burial chamber. The faded mosaics on the walls depicting what could have been scenes from their mortal lives as they fought off humanoids and odd creatures to preserve their homeland.
Sadly, all their armor and weapons are half-rusted/rotted and pretty much worthless.
"Well, not much left with these few."
Finnegan takes a look around the room to see if there's anything else there.
Alexander kicks the dust and what remains of the ancient armor. Indeed. Well, let's see who these were meant to protect, shall we?
I wonder how something with no eyes can be blinded. Hmmm... Andrea follows the others.
You return back to the round room and are left with two hallways to go down.
Let us go left.
"I agree. To the left."
Othniel nods. "Fine by me."
You walk down the hallway to the left and come to another room. The walls of this chamber are adorned with a plethora of weapons, shields, armor, and tattered banners and standards. Interspersed among the displayed arms are carved scenes of battle, pillage, and conquest. The carvings are caked in flaking pigments that were once brightly colored, but many have been defaced, apparently by repeated blows from a weapon. At the far end of the room, a withered corpse lies in state atop a stone catafalque, its bony hands clutching a sword across its chest.
Alexander lifts his sword to point at the ancient corpse. I expect that's who we're looking for. He waves his hand as the group moves forward and four more copies of him appear.
Andrea Blesses the group.]ooc]+1 Hit/Saves vs. Fear for 5 minutes[/ooc]
Finnegan studies the withered corpse as he readies to shoot his bow at it.
Othniel glides forward silently, then flings a glob of acid at the corpse.
If Applicable.
Much like the other room, as soon as the first person crosses the threshold of the room, the undead stirs from his sleep. He lets the broken ceremonial sword he was clasping fall to ground, grabbing up a longbow that had been laying to his side.
While this was happening, your group cast bless, mirror image, studied the target and tossed some acid at the creature, which hit him and is slowing eating through his armor and into its cold flesh.
Alexander moves forward, holding his shield up. Looks like he's up for a fight! Let's give him one!
Andrea grips her longspear and takes a position behind Alexander so she can strike from the second row.
Finnegan grins. "So, you want to play the game of who's a better shot? Let me enlighten you."
Unfortunately, in his bout of ego, he drops his first arrow. Cursing, he fires another.
Othniel moves forward, blades in hand. Reaching the corpse, he lashes out with his dueling sword.
