Chumtooth looks around the room, trying to determine if there are any tracks or anything else of note.
"Let's keep goin', this cave is empty as all."
Chumtooth moves into the room and approaches the door.
He takes a moment to listen for any sounds beyond it.
Dantes grimaces and says "We've come to far to let a locked door bring us to a halt." Conspicuously absent, though, is any offering from Dantes to actually deal with it.
"Sorry," Vic replies, "Stone don't burn. Not my thing."
1.) How sturdy is the wood. Is it solid, or soft, perhaps rotten?
2.) Are the hinges on this side of the door or the other? If they are on this side, are they rusted or clean? Could they be smashed or have the pins pulled?
3.) what does the locking mechanism look like? Is it a key hole lock, or is the door barred and padlocked? Is it locked from this side, the other side, or does it appear to be accessible from both sides?
Chumtooth takes a breath, then launches a front kick into the door.
Chumtooth looks to the Captain, waiting to see if she gives an order to enter or wait.
Satinder looks ahead, and signals for the casters to provide light on her sword.
"Chum, you keep to my left and we'll continue down this path." as she indicates to the end.
"Check every door, and kill anything that wants to harm us."
She waits for the light, and then steps inside, clearly looking around for signs of traps.
Chumtooth falls into step on Satinder's right.
He keeps a wary eye out for danger.
Dantes growls in frustration at the mostly empty room. Unless the captain urges us to move along, he'll cast detect magic and survey the room. Then he'll start to carefully look for hidden compartments or passages.
When they leave again, he'll follow closely behing Chumtooth, ready to boost his strength if it is needed.
Satinder will signal a wait, before taking some bones and hurling them across the room, trying to scatter as much of them as she can.
"If this does not upset any evil undead..." she murmurs, while walking forward, kicking as many of the bones aside as she can.
Satinder jumps back.
"I KNEW IT!" she curses, as she takes out her weapon and slashes the closest one next to her.
She moves slightly, in case the master dwarf wanted to embiggen Chumtooth, like he tends to do.
"Bah, undead pests!"
Dantes will augment Chumtooth's strength, +2 enhancement bonus for one round.
Chumtooth rushes forward and strikes the nearest skeleton with his morning star.

Dantes, reacting quickly, empowers Chumtooth, to permit the kuru to better vanquish his foes. Chumtooth does as expected, moving to the nearest skeleton and smashing it into splinters of bone with his morningstar. Satinder destroys the skeleton before her, slicing through it's spine and sending it clattering to the ground in many pieces.
The undead close in, attempting to strike the captain and her first mate. Each is hit once .
Vic mutters a spell, then moves forward and pokes one of the skeletons.
Satinder sees Chum rushing in, and sees him make the mistake of turning his back on the skeletons. She slices one down, and steps up, creating a back-to-back fighting style.
"Vic, Dantes, get behind us." she orders quite calmly, even as the pile of bones drops to the floor.
"Hmm. More of the buggers than I thought..."
With the number of skeletons that has risen, Dantes seems to be taking them more seriously. Rather than follow Chumtooth's advance, he slides behind Satinder, tapping her on the shoulder to imbue her with a surge of arcane energy.
Giving her a +2 enhancement to strength for one round. I moved his icon on the map.

Victoriana tries to put down one of the undead foes with a cure light wounds spell, but misses. Dantes slides behind Satinder and taps her on the shoulder, imbuing her with a bonus to her strength. Chumtooth takes down another skeleton, as does Satinder, who slides in behind the kuru to fight back-to-back.
The three remaining skeletons press the attack, swinging at Victoriana, Satinder, and Chumtooth. Satinder is hit for 3 points of damage and Victoriana is hit for 6.
Chumtooth continues his attack on the skeletons.
Vic repeats her poke attempt, still holding the charge.
Satinder watches the skeletons go down, and continues her fighting style. Not that it has paid off so far, but beter safe than sorry. A missed hit is better than a miss that hit, an old friend of her used to say.
She slices one skeleton down while stepping up, into the fray.
"So that's what you do when you touch Chum and he giggles. I kinda like it," she says with a naughty grin on her face, even as the pile of bones drops to the floor.
Chumtooth looks back at Satinder and cocks in head in a slightly confused expression.
"Gee-gulls? What is this gee-gulls?"
"Good riddance!" she says, smiling at Chumtooth's comment.
"Gee-gulls are smiles, when you are happy. When a lady sits down on your small pirate and tells you she wants to have two of her girlfriends there too.. You gee-gull."
"Ahh, yesss," Chumtooth replies, clearly understanding. "This one's pirate is not small. The three ladies would need much food and rest after," he adds with a rumbling chuckle.
Finding no appreciation for his fine joke, Chumtooth grimaces and looks to the others.
"Do we go farther in, Captain? We can look this way," he says, pointing to the narrow passage going West.
"Of course, Chumtooth. Looks like a good choice. You take point, I'm right behind you!"
Satinder nudges the bones making sure they stop moving.
Chumtooth moves part of the way down the hallway scanning the area for anything unusual.
Dantes follows behind, eager to see more, but not so eager that he doesn't let Chumttoh and Satinder lead the way.
Chumtooth listens for a moment at each door, trying to determine if there is any sounds beyond the doors.
Chumtooth shrugs and jams his shoulder into the center of the South door.
Chumtooth smashes his morningstar into the door, trying to break it in the softer places.
"No, we can't be stopped by a stupid door!"
In frustration, Dantes lashes out with a kick.
Strength check
Satinder tries not to interfere with the Kuru, but tries to see from a distance if it is a lock that could be opened with sly fingers and a few thin pieces of steel.
"Guys, I've got this. Put your weight into the corner there, and Dantes, I could use some more power like you give Chum sometimes!"
Satinder groans as she pushes her muscles to the extreme.
Victoriana casts a helpful spell as Satinder tries to rally the party against a door.
