you open one of the coffins, and a skeleton start to rise.
In fact,5 of the other tombs open from the inside, and you see six skeleton, with death in their empty eye sockets.
"Crud," Dav quickly says as he casts a magic missile at one of the other skeletons, targeting the one right of Rahiv, trying to keep that one and the other skeleton farthest from the party from flanking his friends.
"Help me flank this one!"
She takes a 5' step and attacks the red skeleton with both her weapons.
Seeing the skeletons in the coffins, Warren drops his scimitar and draws his morningstar and then attack the black one in the coffin in front of him.
He then shouts out to Rahiv, "You may want to channel to damage all of these abominations!"
"Eep!" Joza squeaks as all of the skeletons decide to come out to play. The sound might be rather cute if the situation wasn't so dire. Reacting quickly she draws trident and mace, swinging the first at the skeleton in front of her.
"Rahiv, get out of there!" she cries, seeing the shaman standing alone and vulnerable by the southern door.
By reflex, Zinli shot the nearest skeleton!
Rahiv looked up rather alarmed as he had placed his bolt pointing towards the open they had planned to open...however all of them arising at the same time was certainly not the plan. He yelped and moved forwards towards the others and once their heads raised above the coffin lids, he released a wave of energy to try to put them to rest.
Davlamin magic destroys a skeleton. Voyla hist the undead with her dagger, but doesn't seem to have damaged her foe. Warren's weapon is much more effective, as the mornigstar breaks many bones.
Zinli's bullet pierce the unliving skull, and another undead will finally rest in pieces. Joza fails to hit, unfortunatly.
So far, your team efforts have payed off!

"I'm unable to damage them!"
She keeps attacking the red skeleton.
Volya managed to hit the skeleton strongly enough to break a few bones..only to get attacked by the two remaining undead, ravenous for her flesh!
Their claws rip her flesh, their eyeless skulls enjoying her pain.
It seem they want to show the thief bones under the clothes of her skin, to invite her skeleton to join them for eternity.
"Help!"
Joza quickly steps toward one of the skeletons clawing at Voyla and attempts to return the favor in her own way!
Dav casts another magic missile at one of the other remaining skeletons.
Davlamin's spell shatters another skeleton, leaving only one to destroy and maybe saving Voyla's life!
Unfortunately, the last skeleton wasn't in Zinli's firing angle. She moved to be able to shoot it, and loaded her gun.
Rahiv backed up a bit and turned his concentration towards his allies this time pulling out the wand and giving Voyla a poke.
As he moves forward, Warren says to Rahiv "Excuse me, I have some undead to make dead." and then attacks the skeleton.
Warren smash the last skeleton, and Rahiv pokes Voyla with the wand, curing her most minor wounds
Rahiv seeing the last one go down and noticing how little her wounds closed, gave Voyla another prod.
Rahiv began to look at the wand as if it had done him some wrong and wiped it off on his tunic before giving her another poke.
Voyla, shivering, hold out to Warren. She turns to Rahiv as he heals her.
"Thank you. I thought I was not going to make it."
Warren turns to Voyla as the last one drops, "Glad I could be of service this time. I just wish I could have gotten here before it attacked you. Anything else in the coffins?"
In one of the coffin-the one near Joza-you find a small bronze horn.
Maybe the man who was buried there was a musician.
"I'm just glad that we were able to take care of them quickly," Joza comments as she keeps an eye on the southern door. "That was quick thinking Rahiv!"
Dav sighed in relief.
"May I see that horn please?"
Dav cast detect magic on the horn while hoping to identify it in case it's magical.

Zinli patted Warren's arm:
"That, my good sir, was officially pure badass. Congratulations."
Warren blushes if that is possible for him, "I thank you for the compliment, but I don't think I did anything all that extrodinary. Thank you." He then moves to the south door. Once everyone is ready he opens it.
The floor of this small hallway is partially blocked by heaps of stone rubble.
A skeletal human hand protrudes from one pile of rubble. The debris looks old, and the few sagging strands of web draped over the rubble seem to have been here for some time.
You see two doors, one on your left, another facing you.
Dav also congratulated Warren.
"No need to be humble, Warren. You did an excellent job," the half-elf said as he also agreed that they should go south as well.
Voyla turn to see Warren, and nods to him, smiling.
She goes to check the hand, fearing a trap.
Dav looks around the room, seeing if he could help Voyla find any traps or hidden treasures.
Volya finds out a trap, a pit opening in the west dead end part of the corridor.
Neither door seems to be trapped, or even locked.
As Voyla and the others begin to scout ahead once more, Joza brings up the rear of the group. Her bow is drawn and her eyes are open for any signs of trouble, whether from ahead or behind.
"Be careful! There is a trap there!"
Joza sees nothing odd, but remains cautious.
Voyla puts some pebbles to mark the trap place.
She checks the eastern door for sounds, and if nothing signals the others to be ready with her head and opens the door.
(+4 if hidden)
Seeing the others searching the room Warren keeps and eye out for trouble and he spots it! He moves toward Voyla as she is opening the door without anyone covering her and gives her a stern look but says nothing so he doesn't alert anyone in the next room.
Hearing nothing strange, Voyla is a little surprised when the door doesn't open. She takes out her tools and soon open the lock.
She seems a small room, with wisps of decayed and sagging spider webs droop from the walls.
The room appears to be empty except for the long-dead, dismembered corpse of a giant spider and a stout, freestanding wooden closet in the southwestern corner.
The ceiling is covered with dusty spider webs bulging down from a grid of wooden beams and plaster fifteen feet above the floor.
Faint moans and plaintive sobbing come from the closet.
Before following the others, Dav looked at the object he found and put his hand on it, removing it from the debris.
Rahiv followed along behind the others up till he heard the sounds of sobbing. He stepped forwards towards the sounds and up to the closet. He looked back to Voyla and Warren. "I'll open the door, please be ready to save me should it not be living." he said as he looked at the closet and took a long slow breath. "Don't be alarmed, we're not dead. I'm going to open the door so don't be scared" he said as he attempted to open the door.
Voyla draws her weapons and stands behind Rahiv, nodding at him. She also looks at Warren, and winks, smiling.
