Raiden and Anton move to engage the undead orc, Anton n connecting with two solid blows but the foul creature remains standing.
Scramsax moves up to one of the skeletons while Ravvek tries to draw the attention of the other two. Scramsax connects twice with the giant skeleton breaking off some of the bones in the process. The crowbar seeming to be just as effective as the Shortsword.
Zayless’s blast of energy rocks into the skeleton that Scram moved up to.
The undead orc slashes at Anton with its clawed hand and then grips it’s longsword with two hands for a second attack in response to the monk’s blows.

DC 13 CON save from Anton or the damage is unhealable.
The claws leaves deep scratches in Anton’s skin but the orc hisses as his Greatsword hits the altar next to him in mid swing sparing Anton for the moment.
Anton clutches the wound, grimacing as he sees the flesh blacken with corruption. Glaring sternly at the orcish abomination, Anton grips his sword in both hands watching for an opening to attack.
Uriah creeps along the wall a little and says a kind word to Anton
Better you than me old chap!
Uriah then draws his Rapier and points it at a nearby skeleton
You're going down boney!
The skeleton facing Scram and looks at Uriah with unholy fire in it’s eyes then runs back toward o it’s immediate threat.

It’s club lands heavily next to Scramsax spraying stone chunks.
The skeleton next to Raiden seems offended by the mere presence of this Paladin and moves to attack Ravvek.

Ravvek was prepared however and easily sidesteps the blow
The ogre skeleton next to Anton attempts to crush the Monk
for
But also finds no purchase as Anton easily slips around the slow attacker.
Raiden slashes at the skelly but is stymied by the lack of flesh. He attempts to take a proper attack and (hopefully) manages to carve out a few bones this time.
Sashah says a quick prayer , then continues his business of cleaning.
Scram glances around confused, surprised to find himself alone. He rushes over to Ravvek...
...and tries to pop out the ball joints keeping the hips in place with a few good whacks...
Ravvek slashes and thrusts, trying to finish the one that Scram has been hitting!
Zayless blasts the skellie again.
Anton drives the sword into the undead orc, using both hands, then spins around and kicks it twice.
Anton notices his physical blows not having the same effect as his long sword but the creature does seem to real from his attacks.
Scramsax moving next to Ravvek and Raiden moving to follow the skeleton culminates in everyone focusing thier attacks on the same skeleton.
When Raiden moves away from the undead orc, the creature swings it’s greatsword around to make him pay for his movement.

With Raiden moving away, the creature then focuses it’s full ire in Anton.

DC 13 CON Save again Anton.
The wicked Claw finds its way around Anton’s defense once again while the blade turns out to be too slow to hit the monk.
Uriah is up the the skeletons and Sashah.
Uriah continues his spellcasting
Uriah casts Vicious Mockery on the nearby skeleton
When the time comes,
Hearing the Raiden sounding thump as he falls, Sashah sighs and drops his cleaning rag as he moves over to Raiden.
The skeleton left alone by Scram is getting ready to move forward when Uriah sends his magic laced words toward it. Unable to resist, it is distracted when it attacks Ravvek.
Swinging wildly, the club smashes into a crumbling stone bench.
The skeleton attacking Anton in an attempt to help it’s master swings it’s club down at the human monk. The blunt weapon strikes hard but misses the mark.
for
Ravvek is smacked hard, but stands his ground.
Sashah’s healing magic breathes life back into Raiden but the healer is close to the enemy now and at risk from the giant skeletons.
Rav grunts in pain.
He growls and strikes again at the most damaged ogre skeleton!
Ravvek swipes at the skeleton taking massive bone chunks out of the skeleton. He can tell that the skeleton is only barely still structurally able to support itself.
Zayless zaps the Skellie nearest Scram.
Anton swings his sword at the orc, and kicks the skeleton.
Raiden looks up at Sashah and grunts a heartfelt "Thanks!". He jumps up, and swings at the orc but he wavers from the headrush.
Zayless’ s last of Eldritch magic does indeed bring down the damaged skeletons n freeing Scramsax up to move next to and assist Anton. His two blades stabbing hard into the undead orc. In fact, the orc is attacked many times from many of the party but his ancient chainmail armor turns all but Scram’s attacks away. Jack also realizes that his weapons seem to have limited effect on the creature.
Although very wounded, the undead champion presses on with its attacks on the monk and one of the new comers.
at Scramsax to reward him for successfully striking his target. The Claw however arcs too high and goes over Scram’s head.
this one targets Anton who deftly jumps over the low swing.
Uriah casts Vicious Mockery on the nearby skeleton Wisdom
Woah there Raiden! Don't fall back down now!
The skeleton that Uriah mocked moves toward him and Zayless. Swiping at Uriah with his club. missing wildly.
The other continues it’s assault on Anton.
Again missing the agile human.
Sasha begins cleaning once more.
"What are you so scared of? Its just some kind of magic trick, must be a hidden mirror or something around."
Anton slashes at the orc and kicks the skeleton.
Scramsax slashes like a blender at the undead orc and the creature seems to almost fall to a knee but befor it can recover, Anton plunges his blade into the back of the creatures neck driving it to the floor. As he then swilvles to kick the skeleton, the skeletons pause for brief seconds and then collapse back into the piles of bone from whence then came.
Raiden puts his very clean sword away and inspects the room.
Ravvek lets out a breath, leans up against the wall and says, Gods, this place is in a lot of trouble. Those were not a part of this tomb. Cursed, perhaps?
He looks at everyone, lays a hand on Raiden's shoulder and nods , then moves to Anton, does the same, then leans back against the wall, wrapping his own wounds (Assuming we have 3 rounds.)
Well then, shall we continue cleaning up this crypt? The Durgeddin will appreciate it fixed up a bit, I am sure.
Scram gives Rav a look like Really? and continues the hunt for huge, valuable gemstones.
Rav just shrugs and grins, You don't desecrate tombs unless you want to be cursed for all time...
With a laugh, he continues, And think, they would be much more appreciative if we return it to them fixed up and nice. What kind of reward they could give...

Scram shrugs "Well, if you say so..."
He grabs the spinal column and skull of a corpse that still has some nasty hair on it, turning it upside down like a makeshift broom and gets to work.
Sasha looks surprised and revolted at Srams choice of broom and looks to be about to say something but then stops. Pick battles Sashah, he says to himself.
Raiden joins the housework montage by removing the skeletons' and orc's remains, save the one Scram's using. He thinks Scram's choice of broom is funny and chuckles at it. He also claps Rav on the back and thanks him for the healing energy.
Though frustrated at his ineptness at fighting this round, he's starting to really enjoy this adventuring life.
After cleaning the rotted orc guts off his blade, Anton helps with the cleaning.
Zayless assists with the clean up.
