Havelock recoils back from the blow, raises his orb towards the skeleton, and pushes it away with a blast of sound, then runs away.

Thunderwave vs Fort.: 1d20+4=12, 1d6+4=5 If it hits, pushing the skeleton 2 squares up the map. I then move to 2 squares below the light.

The +2 is from the combat advantage thanks to the radiant light beam, now unless Richard posts its now NaDarr's turn

Sorry I've taken so long to post. I will go last in the initiative order. Sure Strike, 16 to hit vs s1 AC for 10 damage.
1d20+9=16
1d10+1=10
Richard takes a little something off his attack to ensure he hits the skeleton that approached him.

Glad to hear from you anyway since that was your partial action it didn't get an attack so on to NaDarr...

NaDarr closes his eyes and touches the lantern-shaped medallion on his wrist, channeling the divine presence at the skeletons.

I will have to look up how channeling works (still 4E newbie), as well as stepping out of the way and such. Feel free to roll for me Ice Witch. If not I will post again tonight.

1d20+4, 1d20+4, 1d20+4, 1d10+4=[9, 4], [15, 4], [18, 4], [1, 4] 13, 19, 22 vs will to skeletons 7, 10, 8 respectively, 5 damage each. They are moved 5 squares and can not move next round. Misses half damage. If I did that right :)

NaDarr touches his medallion and it briefly glows, opening his eyes NaDarr has to double check and look around before he realises his three opponents were blown into dust...

Second Round

The two remaining skeletons continue the battle with first the one on Nass managing to get past Nass's defence and scoring a blow, swiftly followed by the other at the opposite side of the chamber which closes in on Graz and scores a blow on him.

Rolled a pair of 19's for a total of 25 on both Nass and Graz both taking 4pts of damage

However where the skeletons have fallen a strange red glow emits from where their undead foes fell as something ascends to float in mid-air at roughly waist level.

So Graz is up first followed by Havelock, then Nass, NaDarr and then Richard

Graz slides one square away from the skeleton on him and uses his twin strike again.

attacks=18, 18

damage=12, 7

attacks=18, 18

damage=12, 7

Graz you still have a minor action left you can since you have no nearby foes use up the rest of your move or pick up the floating bloodstones if you wish (ie: The 2 floating near you)

Havelock's up next and the only remaining skeleton is on Nass unless he's using what he used last round you can either engage the last foe or take a look at the floating bloodstones

I'll pick up the blood stones near me.

I'll pick up the blood stones near me.

Graz only:

The image returns to the centre of the room so fast its almost as if it never left its post...

"What was that? Graz are you OK?"

Havelock sends an icy ray at the last skeleton, then moves to grab the nearest gems.
1d20+4=6, 1d6+4=6

"What was that? Graz are you OK?"

if the skeleton is still alive
Attack main hand (1d20+5=25) Damage: 9

Nass finds a second wind with the break in combat back up to 19

He then picks up the nearest bloodstone and looks at it with suspicion and asks " So how do these things work again?"

With this the image disappears and a sigil appears on the door to the north, south and east of you.

What do you wish to do?

And so
After the First Challenge

Nass grabs a second bloodstone and inserts one stone into a shortsword and he places the other one in a hidden pouch in his cloak saving it for later. He then waits to see what happens with the one in his weapon

would the enc bonus be on attack or damage or both? sorry for being a noob

Nass grabs a second bloodstone and inserts each stone into his twin shortswords and waits to see what happens

"Everyone, let's divide these evenly. There are storys about this place, after all. Not, by name of course. People come in, they get greedy, they never come out again. Anyway, two gems a person?"

Havelock then puts one of the gems into his crystal orb.

"Aye, I can agree with that. Looks to be like ten of them. Everyone gets two and with two people getting a third. Just means the next time extra stones are available they got to the others to keep everyone even" Nass suggests. " The onyl problem is who get the third to start?"

Graz will attach one stone to Boe and the other to his armor.

since i edited this after dm's post but didnt noticed it i will go with both stones in my shortswords... oh... when i did the math for some reason i forgot someone... my bad =P

No problem but anyone who has the Arcane skill as trained has better make a check at this point

"That wasn't much of a test!" Richard grabs the bloodstone near him and the final leftover bloodstone. He attaches the first to his Greatsword then looks about and realizes he hasn't got much else in the way of weaponry an attaches the second also to his Greatsword.

"These sigils above the door to the north seem to mean "Preparation". The south door means "Offering". Also, it appears that one bloodstone can give a basic enchantment to what they bond to, but it would require two more to give a more advanced effect."

"Hmmm.... Havelock?" NaDarr holds a bloodstone up to his medallion. "Do you think it will help the Lantern?"

apparantly never listed skills... have them at home though and will add them. what else am I missing?

"Training sounds better that than sacrifice to me, I say we go down the tunnel that says preparation".

"Seems as good as any place to start" Nass says while swinging his newly upgraded to magical shortswords. "Let us be off and delay no further" Nass looks around the group waiting to make sure that everyone is ready to head out

"I'm as ready as I'll ever be."
What's our marching order for going through the door? Nass first with Richard second, or do you want Richard to go first?

personally would prefer to have the burly fighter go first lol but doesnt matter to me...also going to use another healing surge bringing me back to full

"Nass, do you want to check this door first before I open it? I have a feeling some of these 'Challenges' may include traps." Richard asks Nass as he listens at the North door. Perception Check 1d20+1=13

Aways with an itch to go, NaDarr steps near the door after affixing the bloodstones to his medallion and his mail.

Shifting the Greatsword into one hand, Richard reaches out and touches the flaming blue sigil, pushing on the door.

Preparation

Fortunately you have enough time to step out of range as if falls to the ground with an almighty crash that easily resembles the thunder you experienced outside.

The sounds fades as you gaze into the darkened corridor in front of you and see if enters a small chamber even darker than the corridor revealed before you.

The light from the column behind you doesn't extend into this corridor so you will need a light source to proceed further unless of course you have the handy ability to see in the dark...

"I should go first as my eyes see without light and I am much stealthier than the rest of you".

Notching an arrow Graz steps forward into the hallway being as careful and quite as possible.

perception=20 stealth=30

"I'll provide the light." His orb bbegins pulsing with light.

Using Light.

Drawing a pair of daggers from their sheathes and slowly follows Havelock, Nass walks into the chamber and looks around checking for anything that might resemble a trap or anything that looks suspicious Perception (1d20=19)

I'm heading in as well, Greatsword ready.

Ice Witch:

Havelock's light spell briefly spoils your sight

Still Graz only:

Using Light.

Please post where you're standing, if Richard can't post, I'll assume he's at the entrance about C-10
