Tal examines the chest, then looks at Mannuk. ”In the absence of lock picking tools I believe Mannuk could be our key to opening the chest,” Tal braces himself for the roar of laughter that is sure to follow such a clever pun.

Reaching a dead end, the pathfinders head back to the primary chamber and head to the west.
Broken marble litters the southern corners of this room, where a pair of toppled statues brandishing curved stone swords must once have reached nearly to the ceiling. Many broken weapons lie scattered about the room.
The stairs here rise to a platform 10 feet high, and the ceiling here is 20 feet tall.
When the group enter the room, necromatic energy washed over the room. To figures form from the bones scattered on the floor.

With bow in hand Tal slinks into the room carefully avoiding the skeletal creature. He begins speaking in an attempt to bolster his allies.
"Brave Pathfinders entering a darkened tomb of horrors. The mighty Mannack; his sword will surely strike true. Umrallorn, stout warrior and keeper of strange magic..."

Mannak takes a guarded step as he tries to engage the skeleton. He unleashes his inner fury and takes a mighty swing with his greatsword.

Umrallorn quickly withdraws to the other chamber.
"These creatures are skeletal champions, though I am curious as to the manner of their animation. I have never observed such an assembly. Regardless, as Zartina mentioned I recommend the employment of bludgeoning weapons if at all possible."
Circles of arcane sigils whirl about Umrallorn as he gestures and chants. A ball of fire appears near one of the skeletal champions.
"However while they are immune to cold, I do not believe they have any resistance to fire."
Red skeletal champion needs to make a DC 17 Reflex save or take fire damage: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 1) = 10

Magni finishes his casting and suddenly an eagle appears near the black armor wearing skeleton.

Zartina draws his Longspear, more to give aid to the eagle than to do much himself. Still, he stabs.

Umrallorn frowns as the skeletal champion dodges his flaming sphere, then waves his hands, directing it to roll over the red skeletal champion once again.
DC 17 Reflex save or take fire damage: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 1) = 10
He then leans around the corner and directs a telekinetic fist against the same skeletal champion, since his companions have conveniently left him a clear shot at it.

Xavier suddenly realizes that most of the party is behind him! "Wait a moment! I'm not a fighter?!"
He fires another Magic Missile, this time at the closer skeleton (unless it gets destroyed by Umrallorn in which case he'll shoot the other one) and then will pull back behind the others as a move action.
