"Ladies." Abaal says sheathing his blade and making a gallant bow while extending one hand forward.

Levin jumps in surprise as three of the hands animate and attack. I should use my bow! He reaches for his bow, but the things are quicker than he expected. By the time he unslings his weapon, the hands are already upon them. No, use your sword! By the time he reaches down with his other hand and pulls out his rapier, Abaal and Kiri dispatch the things with a few swift strokes.

"Wow... That all happened rather quickly, didn't it? Quick thinking, Kiri! Abaal! Small wonder what the Society sees in either of you," he adds with a wink.

"Levinpleez, excellent. The glory is our today, but there will be plenty to share soon enough. Can you collect the others, we may have found another route by which to investigate the crypt."

What now? You can pass through the bodies to continue through the hall, examine the bodies, or choose another door.

I'm happy to follow what the group wants to do. :)

"We should check every path open to us before resorting to the chime again. Try to remain quiet as we pass through this abattoir. These limbs did not find themselves down here by chance." Abaal draws his falchion and moves ahead.

Abaal plans on checking ahead, if anyone wants to look through the pile of body parts....

After recovering from near death, Myantha decides to glance over the dead bodies, looking for any clues.
[dice=Using the "spot" aspect of Perception]1d20+9[/dice]

Keeping pace with Abaal, Levin peers to the left as the swordsman goes right.

Stealth: 1d20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 - 1 = 18
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Kiri peers up the shaft above them and the walkway above them.

"We need to investigate this pile of body parts further," the magus suggests. "I wonder if we shouldn't climb up here and see if we can find anything else."

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Rex climbs down the rope to follow his companions.

Climb: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (11) - 1 = 10

In unison, the summoner and eidolon trace Pharasma's spiral in the air.

"We'll need to inform the clergy when we return. They can inter them properly."

She too examines the bodies, both normally and with detect magic.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Myantha takes a quick look around and doesnt see anything, by Suheyla catches a couple of things: One of the hands in the pile still has an expensive looking gold ring on a finger, and among the dices scraps of the hands that attacked the party, she finds an intriguing symbol tattooed on the back of it, a stylized owl.

Kiri looks at the path above, but cannot see or determine anything from her viewpoint.

Rex climbs down to join the party, while Levin and Abaal check out the cross corridor.

At the cross corridor, there is a flight of steps leading ten feet up on either side of your corridor. Beyond these steps, the cross corridor stretches out for about a hundred feet in both directions before turning a corner at one end South, and opening into a room at the other end North
you hear silence from both ends.

"Does anyone know what this symbol might represent?" Suheyla asks before the group departs.

As the long hallway comes into view, she'll offer her suggestion. "Perhaps to the right? We may find areas we bypassed originally, or perhaps whatever lies behind that black statue."

Siorai Hist: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

"I concur," Kiri says in response to Suheyla. "I believe we might be close," she says with one last look up the shaft. "We should circle back toward where we started."

Sorry, I posted twice yesterday and it would appear that phone ate both of them...
Knowledge (history): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Myantha takes a closer look at the hand that tried to kill her and recognizes the tattoo. She relays the (spoiler) information to the rest of the group, adding "Sadly, this raises more questions than it answers. We should keep looking. Perhaps more clues to this riddle lay further in."

"That is very mysterious. I have hunch answers lie to left, but I agree we should go right first." Rex nods to the three women.

Right it is. Please remember to move your tokens appropriately.

The party turns right, their footsteps echoing off of the stone walls. Suddenly, in front of them, four skeletons step out from alcoves along the wall and lift their bows.

If you don't mind, I swapped the starting positions of my eidolon and myself. If that's an issue, then please consider both to be five feet further back.

"Undead abominations, we must destroy them!" The half-elf and psychopomp both rush towards the skeletons at full speed. Suhelya retrieves her net as she does so. Double moves

Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
I'm pretty sure we're all familiar with skeletons on an OOC basis, but just so we do it right.

Effing a... I clearly brought the wrong character for this scenario.

Levin draws his rapier and moves forward to meet the challenge.

Suheyla, no thats not an issue.
Levin, don't worry, your time to shine will come!

Siorai and Suheyla move forward to engage, with Levin following.

There's a room filled with a highly radioactive isotope?!

Levin you wouldn't consider a 5 foot move to the left would you?

Kiri moves forward quickly, but is unable to assist immediately with her companions all filling key places in the hallway.

double move

Sure, my bad. Didn't think about getting out of the way of charging.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Abaal: I said shine, not glow. No glow worms here! I refuse to be paid for that jazz, I sure as heck am not going to play with it!! lol
Suheyla: I forgot to reply to your K. Religion Roll. You know skeletons are immune to mind effects, and resist all but bludgeoning weapons.

Levin sidesteps, allowing Abaal to charge up the corridor, bashing the skeleton with all of his might. It stagers back, almost losing cohesiveness, but not quite.

Kiri moves forward towards the battle.

The front rank of skeletons drops their useless bows and claw at the front rank of the party. Fortunately, none of the claws are able to find holes in any armour.

Red vs Soirai: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Red vs Soirai: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Blue vs Abaal: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
Blue vs Abaal: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

The next rank releases a volley of arrows, but these too go skittering off of armour to bounce down the hall and shatter against the stone.
Green vs Soirai: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Yellow vs Abaal: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

Suhelya tries to fling her net towards the skeleton in front of Abaal, but ends up launching it down the hallway instead. She then retreats a bit, taking out her aspergillum.

Net (Cover, Combat, vs Touch): 1d20 + 4 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 - 4 - 4 = -3

Meanwhile, the psychopomp begins silently trying to dismantle the undead.

Slam vs Red: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 2) + 4 = 12

Levin moves to behind Siorai, looking for an opening through which he might be of use.

Double move.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Rex hustles forward, careful to stay out of the way of his allies. "I have flask of holy vater! I have holy vater!"

Double move

Abaal attempts to finish his foe and step over its body to get at the others.

falchion v blue: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11 damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 3) + 4 = 11

Suheyla shows everyone how not to throw a net, and only barely avoids becoming tangled in it herself! Her eidelon tries to pound its skeleton into dust, but is unable to connect.

Levin keeps moving forward, followed closely by Rex who is preparing holy water.

Abaal tries to finish his opponent, but the nimble skeleton dodges his blow.

Unaccustomed to being on the back row, Kiri has little she can do except for cast a cantrip.

Still, she had prepared one that disrupts the negative energy of the creatures, and aims for one on the back row.

ranged touch, disrupt undead, cover: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 2 - 4 = 121d6 ⇒ 2

Delaying Myantha. 2 actions for her this turn.

Kiri sends a bolt of energy into the back rank, and just barely manages to connect on yellow, chipping off a piece of bone.

The skeletons in the front rank continue their feral attack upon Siorai and Abaal. One claw manages to get through and give Siorai a nasty gash, while Blue manages to tear two shallow gashes across Abaals chest.

Meanwhile, the second rank continues to pour arrows into the party. Abaal manages to keep dodging, but Siorai is not so lucky, and goes down with an arrow in the chest.

Not wanting to crowd things any further, Suhelya launches a bolt of acid at the closest undead (red).

Acid splash (vs touch, cover, combat): 1d20 + 4 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 - 4 - 4 = 14
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Suheyla sends a bolt of acid at red, making some of the bones sizzle and melt.

@ Suhela: Can you back up? If Levin also backs up after his turn, I might have a chance at hitting one of the skeletons with a flask of holy water.

"I have holy vater!" Rex shouts, unhelpfully to his companions.

Moved myself, Levin
Stabilization: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

"Thank you Rex, but at present I am not thirsty." Abaal grits his teeth an swings his blade in a wide arc.

falchion v blue: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 3) + 4 = 11

confirm?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19 additional damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 3) + 4 = 10

If it falls, he moves 5 feet forward.

Myantha fires two bolts of Disrupt Undead at the nearest skeleton as she says with a scowl "See, now this is why I don't like to dabble in necromancy. The dead should just stay dead!"
Touch attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Touch attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Myantha, that first shot is a potential critical.

Siorai manages to stabilize his wounds, while Abaal is left wondering why he keeps being offered a drink. In the middle of this pondering, he crushes one of the skeletons and steps forward, breaking their line.

Myantha moves forward and begins lobbing more disrupting energy, taking out the other front line skeleton.

Kiri, from her position behind Abaal, continues her ray attacks designed to disrupt undead.

Kiri sends more disrupting energy out, and blows another chunk out of a skeleton.

Delaying Levin, no reposition for Rex

The remaining skeletons drop their bows and grab for Abaal, but none can catch that wild and nimble little man.

Kiri continues to fire off her disrupting rays, hoping to destroy the energy keeping the bones together.

Sorry, busy weekend and I didn't realize it was my turn.

Ducking under the skeletons' weapons, rapier in hand Levin darts in close and then behind them, using his positioning to provide his allies with whatever advantage he can give them.

Last turn: move in, swing
Rapier vs yellow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

The little six-foot-six man levels his tiny three-foot at the undead standing behind the horror he just sent to the hereafter.
Falcon v yellow (power attack, aid): 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 2 = 20 damage: 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (1, 1) + 7 = 9

If my Acrobatics was successful, you're also flanking :-)

Myantha brings down yellow, and the concentrated efforts of the rest of the party brings down green with a flurry of blows, distraction, and magic.

Out Of Combat
Take care of any healing or anything that needs to be done for Siorai. The rest of this post is just to follow up and help move things along, as this is a very rough week for me at school. When ready, please move your tokens appropriately.

Sifting through the piles of dust and bones, the party is able to find 20 arrows that are salvageable, but everything else is broken and worn by time. Continuing down the hall, you turn the corner and encounter a set of double doors. They are opened to reveal a room where heavy black curtains drape the walls of this chamber, and a thick layer of dust carpets the floor. Two sets of stone double doors stand in the east and west walls, with the west walls showing the same odd depression as the doors in the room with the statue. Rm 3

Myantha swipes up the arrows before there can be any protect, saying "I'll just be taking those, thank you."

I assume Levin doesn't mind using my wand on Siorai? These get him to almost full. Anyone else who needs a charge is welcome to take one.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

One her companion is patched back up, Suheyla and Siorai will move to examine the room at the end of the hall. She now has an irritated look on her face, embarrassed at their performance against the undead.

"Curious..."

Once everyone is ready, she'll ask her eidolon to reveal what might be behind the curtains.
