Orsin casts heroism on himself in case the meeting with Bisby goes sour.
"Let me check something first. Give me the ghost candle and I'll place it if I think it is safe, you should leave the room as well."
John will detect chaos focusing on the bones.
Very well. Andrea hands over the candle and keeps her position outside the door, ready to help if anything goes wrong.
Rd1: You see two areas under the pile of bones with an choatic aura. You also, see that Bisby's bones have the aura.
RD2: Bisby's bones have an overwhelming strength. Your spell ends and you are stunned for 1 round. You drop everything you are holding and try to blink away the effect.
Anyone near the doorway can see John make his way into the room. When, suddenly, there is a loud clanking sound as he drops his weapon, shield and the grave candle. He freezes in place shaking his head.
When he is no longer stunned, John will say.
"He most certainly radiates chaos, how ever it is so strong I believe that might have more to do with his life before he died rather than after his death. There where also two things in that pile that also radiated chaos. I will focuse on them to get a better understanding of their power"
If combat does not start John will pick up his things and will use a move action to focus on one of the things in the pile with his detect chaos.
If combat does start John will just pick up his sword and shield and join the fray if possible.
There is no combat beginning.
Are you going to place the candle John?
DMPC John's action
John will comment that he sees two moderately strong chaos auras in the pile of bones that Andrea mentioned she saw the undead auras. He will then place the grave candle with Bisby's bones, light the wick for his action.
Faelyn looks at Lucrezia. I don't know about you, but I am about ready to be done with Delvehaven. Shadows are one thing, but this undead crap is getting old.
Since Ilnerik is a vampire, from what Liriam's note said, we'll be up to our eyeballs in undead soon enough.
"This place sucks."
The smoke that you've previously witnessed when using the grave candle begins then if flashes out. Everybody notices that Bisby’s skull rises
from his bones to being screaming, As it does so, three shadows rise up from the pile of Thrune Pathfinder remains to attack.
Coincidentally when the three shadows rise a fourth one appears rounding the corner heading towards the rear guard.
