Hrarsk looks very puzzled at the pumpkin smashing.
"Which pumpkins are the bad ones? What did they do? Why can't we just all be friends?" he asks the leshy. He makes eye contact with Koani, hoping she would translate for him, or at least explain what was going on.
"My, my! The you really do look upset with what's been happening lately." He gestures towards Hrarsk and Koani - and to the nearby 'gourd-smashing party' - trying to communicate that they are here to help. "Friends. He tries to say and points to the leashy. "Help. You."
With Koani translating, I'm just going to have him talk straight up.
"Yes! I can lead you to the source of evil stuffs!" He looks excited at this proposition. "I'm to small to deal with them myself, but your all big and well bigger things, you can deal with them so they quit possessing the pumpkins! I was taking away what they sent in towards the town. If they came back there be no more pumpkins to possess. The killed Elm, and I don't want them to kill more people."
"Oh! I did find a good one!" He hands you a carved gourd.
Glowing Gourd, lesser:
This gourd has been hollowed out and carved with the symbol of a good-aligned deity. It sheds light as a candle. If the gourd is smashed onto the ground, the 20-foot radius area around the crushed gourd is affected as if by a consecrate spell for 10 hours, and all non-evil creatures in the area gain the benefits of remove fear for 5 rounds. This magic item is often crafted from a pumpkin, though other types of gourds, or even large turnips, can be used.
Aura: faint evocation (good)
"I can take you there, I'm not much help against them, but I at least show you where they are... oh and these may help!" He hands you each one of his colored feathers. They help protect against bad things.
Know(Religion) DC10:
These have absolutely no mechanical benefit, but the leshy thinks they are wards against evil out of pure superstition.

Hrarsk laughs. "These don't actually protect against evil, but they are good decoration," he says, looking at Jeydahvu and Donna decorating themselves with it.
He holds up his hand to Koani before she starts translating, and takes a feather anyway.
Oh? Well this is so cool! I mean not all the flesh eating pumpkin things and people dying, but you can talk and want to travel with us!? Oh yes yes! Please come with us! Exclaims oops in Sylvan. He sticks close to the leshy’s side as the travel and kindly offers his shoulder if it would like a ride.
The leasy looks torn between riding the Blarg, Koani, and Oops shoulders. He starts by gently petting Blarg's nose, accepting Oops offer and then switching up half way through to Koani's and if allowed Blarg.
He leads you into the swamp where you will find a clearing and what appears to be a burnt out cabin in the swamp.
Clearing Know(Religion) DC 10:
This is an alter to the Hag Goddess Gyronna, The goddess Gyronna is also known as The Angry Hag, and for good reason. She is not a popular deity as many fear her and her clergy, which is entirely female These are usually the throwaways of society: disfigured prostitutes, wives caught in adultery, pregnant teenagers disowned by their parents, and so forth. Priestesses are renowned for their ability to foster hatred and turn friend against friend. Her priestesses are also known to swap young babies for hideous monstrous creatures birthed from their own womb. The priesthood itself has no canon or book of scripture, or temples; instead, they favor small shrines of simple piled stones.
What you see as your approaching the building is four figures that have clothes on and weapons, but you could almost swear that you can see through them in places. One of which your not sure if it's carrying a lantern it doesn't seem like it but it has light around it.
Normal Figures Know(Religion) DC 5:
These are your run of the mill skeletons. If you get +5, let me know what you want to know about them.
One with Light Know(Religion) DC 10:
This appears to be a Burning Skeleton. If you get +5, let me know what you want to know about them.

Creature with the light is moving closer on it's turn, not fully aware of you. The light he is admitting is only about a 5 ft radius, the red circle is another effect which will trigger when your close enough.
Alrighty, what else do I know about the regular skeletons? Defensive abilities and vulnerabilities?
"Have your weapons at the ready ladies and gentlemen. It looks like the dead these days don't want to stay dead." He takes out his harp and plays a soothing tune to boost the morale of those around him. "Be specially wary of the lighted one. He looks very much different from the rest of them."

Koani and Blarg both happily take the little leshy part of the way. When the little leshy rubs Blarg's nose, Blarg makes a little growl that sounds a lot like a purr.

Running as fast as she can (double move 40'), Donna grins, ready and eager for battle, ready to sink her blade into something more than pumpkin bile and bits.
Sorry Jeydahvu, copy and paste missed the last line.
The burning skeleton moves forward, and as Koani starts to feel the creepy feeling and a ghostly screaming coming from it, Hrarsk's held action goes off, and silences the Haunt, which has no Will Save.

Hrarsk approaches the undead. Too far to channel energy against them, he merely prays for help in the battle.
Bless: +1 attack to everyone
Edit: Having looked at the version history of the map, I realized that I had misunderstood the situation, and Hrarsk had moved the previous round. I edited the post and changed it, but I left the misunderstanding in this spoiler, in case anyone had already seen it and was confused by the change.
Spoiler:
Hrarsk gets closer to the skeletons and unleashes even more positive energy. Blarg and Koani are close enough to benefit from it, even as the undead are hurt by it.
Damage to skeletons:2d6 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2DC 15 half
I didn't move myself on the map last round due to the readied action, despite having written in the post that I moved. I don't think anyone else moved me last round, so I moved myself twice for the past two rounds, and should be able to channel positive energy against the two skeletons and Koani and Blarg.
If this isn't possible, or if I lost my chance to move, then I will instead have moved once and cast bless on the party.
Merrill tries to keep up with everyone as they rush forward towards the skeleton. Seeing one of the skeletons crumble, he takes another strum of his harp as he continues inspiring everyone to give their best.
"That's it heroes. Your names will surely be remembered through the ages."
Double move and swift action to maintain bardic performance.

Rereading the channel energy description, I see this would be impossible. I had assumed incorrectly that the channel would affect everyone. Sorry about the confusion.
Yes and No. The channel affects everyone in the area unless you have selective. You choose harm or heal each time when you channel. So you can harm one round, heal the next.
Will:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Two of the skeletons are down and the other attempts a swing back at Donna.
Atk:1d20 ⇒ 7
Party -> then last poor remaining skeleton, if it survives.
not wanting to hurt his companions and seeing the battle pretty much at hand he will move closer to the battle. Good work friends! Nicely done! sorry for my sporadic posting, i've been moved to nights and with Thanksgiving coming up, I've been either sleeping or cleaning. I should be good now though and ready to continue
