"Excellent! Though are you certain you don't need more time to study those crypts? I'm sure we can come back later, but we do seem to be safe from any attacks at the moment..."

"Lead on Vala, to the other doors you mentioned then."

![]() |

"And are you sure that we found anything of value back there?" asks Robin, then quickly clears his throat, and adds, "Historical value, of course!"

![]() |

Vala tidies up her parchment and implements then starts walking towards the southern secret door in the ceiling crushing room.
"We can always check the rooms more carefully after we're sure the area is clear"
Vala pauses in the hallway with the dual secret doors motioning for everyone to wait there as she goes to open the next secret door.
Vala whispers "Never know if our trapmonger friend built in a backup trigger or anything. Wait here until I get the secret door open. Be ready though."
Vala goes and checks the secret door for traps before opening it, hiding behind it as she does so.
Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

GM..Kashka |

Vala opens the secret door.. to reveal another 5x10 ft room leading the back of another secret door. Upon opening it slowly and quietly...
The room is barely lit. Shabby, mold-covered tapestries hang from ceiling hooks, cloaking one wall of this chamber in faded forest hunting scenes. While probably of decent quality when new, they look sad now.
A plain wooden chair of massive construction stands centered before the tapestries, facing into the room. A large stone table stands against the eastern wall. Weapons and other items are neatly laid out on the table, as if displayed for sale in a shop.
On the chair sits a skeleton looking at Vala and the opening secret door, flanked by two similar looking motionless skeletons. A voice booms from the skeletons "Who dares enter my domain! Why do you disturb my rest?"
The party beyond Vala cannot see the origin of the voice, but can hear easily enough.

"What the......."
Agriver breaks into a run and moves up to Vala to see what is in the room beyond, seeing skeletons he trades his sword for fail and sets his jaw.
"Creature - I am a servant of Iomadae, state your purpose here!!"
With that Agriver's eyes glow with a golden hue as he takes in the newly confronted creatures.

GM..Kashka |

Agriver doesn't have an action to detect evil. At this point - everyone gets to respond to the initial room description post appropriately and i'll start combat.

"Who's domain?" asks Yon. "And don't you think your flair for the dramatic means you probably belong in a theater and not a crypt?"
He then moves forward behind Vala to see into the room.
"Though I guess if you're a skeleton you're really in your element here."

![]() |

"Ah, inhabitants..." Spyridon whispers to Robin as he shuffles across the room, pushing himself against the wall.

![]() |

Robin moves up behind Agriver, grabbing his flail in one hand (bow still in the other). "Skellies, again, bro? I got an answer for that! Lemme through, Aggie and I can take care of 'em... Vala, your daggers ain't gonna help too much, unfortunately. You wanna take read guard?"

Vala takes a look at the skeleton as she opens the door. Her eyebrows raise as it speaks.
"Ah. One that not only walks, but talks as well."
"Your domain? Who're you? Met some of your friends on the North end. Seemed like they stayed dead though. You not comfortable with that end? What is this place anyway? You familiar with an Addington character?" Vala rattles off questions, watching his reaction after each one, seeing if he bites at any.

Spyridon begins reciting a story from Azlanti lore - of a warrior fighting a necromancer.
Inspire Courage
"If anyone needs it, I have a masterwork morning star," he mutters between lines. Spyridon pulls out his Bless wand, hoping he's as good with it this time as last.

Nodding the knight brushes past Robin and stands just north of him while widening his stance and bracing for blows.
Agriver locks eyes with the skeleton that was previously in the throne and calls out. ”Creature, I hope that when I shatter your remains – whatever you once were will find peace.”
Turning to counter the skeleton closest to him he spins his heavy flail wide of the grinning creature.
Not using smite evil stats to attack the blue skeleton, but raising my AC vs the pink one - and I love to roll 3's!

As Agriver steps forward, the skeleton blue, swipes a claw at him...

It fails to connect but knocks the paladin's balance off.
As Rboud lunges for the skeleton orange, it swipes at him

Rboud takes a chew toy out of the crumpled skeleton.

"That mace seems handy for these beasts, Agriver," Yon says as he strides alongside the paladin,

Robin shakes his head at Yon and Agriver's attempts to destroy the skeleton. "You two have this." he says, and moves attack whatever is beyond the curtain.
He'll push through, provoking if necessary, with a double-move. Probably route marked, if he can push through the curtain. That would be allow for 3 squares of movement to get through. Otherwise, he'll do what he has to in order to get through.

GM..Kashka |

I'm proceeding assuming Yon and Agriver are the only light sources. If spyridon has his out let me know.
Yon attacks the nigh invincible skeleton to no effect. Meanwhile, Robin goes barrelling through the Curtain, swinging his flail... to find the enemy is no longer in front of Rboud... the light around the curtain ends 5 feet in front of Robin.
