Jevar's first arrow hits hard making a chunk of the skeleton fall to the ground including an arm. Johanna hits the black skeleton to little effect and smashes the falling green skeleton!
Round 4
More arrows hit but seem to have little effect, though they are collecting to make a fine feathered shirt. A bit in the way for fighting though. The skeletons miss, swinging wildly. The other skeleton keeps slipping and cannot get up to attack.

Round 3
Koldur with axes in hand begins swinging his axes in wide swaths, avoiding hitting Johanna but more likely in part that she's familar with the routine he was now using. A routine he call Storming Axes.
Round 4
His dance still continues as axes slam left, right and continuous overhead slams in a manner reminiscent of a thunderstorm. Each blow angled for maximum damage with the least effort while covering exposed spots. A steel web of thundering axes.
Round 4
Round 4
The one skeleton keeps falling provoking attacks of opportunity from both Johanna and Koldur,
The skeleton not in grease continues to swing its sword... again missing...
Round 5
Round 6
It is almost hilarious to see the two wailing on the skeletons, one slipping nearly every round and the other swinging and missing, then your allies are hitting but doing nearly no damage.
Round 4
Koldur ignores the skeletons attempting to attack brushing off their attacks with pure brute force as he continues weaving his axes in their web. The power of the of blows slaming down on his targets though a skilled warrior can tell that he's shifted stances and using his secondary weapon to hit with its heavy flat head.
Round 5
Koldur doesn't let up as he still smashes into his foes.
"It is very resistant to our attacks. Perhaps I should have used my smite and ended it. Keep attacking we are wearing it down."
Round 5
Round 6
Round 5:
Seeing the problems the group is having Halseen will try to store the spell magic weapon on his ring.
Which he does successfully.
Round 6:
"Wait. Here you go."
Halseen reaches out and touches Johanna's cestus and makes it magical (magic weapon). +1 attack and damage.
"I hope this helps."
With Halseen's magic Johanna's cestus cuts through the skeletons like butter. They easily crawl over the pile of bones left from the first destroyed skeleton letting her get at them.
Even using the blunt side of his maulaxe the dwarf continues to have troubles.
Round 7
Green has been destroyed and black still slips on the grease provoking but not getting up. Another skeleton does take green's place, swinging a rusty sword as it does.
Round 6
Round 7
Koldur may not be faring the best in his battle against the skeletons but with his previous martial skill, hampered by the battle with the vampires, he's still unable to fully showcase his skill that earned him accolades in battles and earned him his weapon-master status.
Still his aces swing as he immerse himself into his dance once more.
Round 7 Halseen will cast Magic weapon on D.Maulaxe's bludgeoning side Koldur.
Round 5
Jevar sighs and puts away his bow carefully and pulls out his Nodachi. He sizes up one of his opponents as he moves into the fray alongside the other two
Round 6
Jevar begins trying to slash his way through the skeletons alongside his comrades.
Round 7
Seeing there are still more foes to slay, he continues to swing his weapon.
Round 7
Johanna moves up to engage with Koldur.
Round 7
With the blessings of Halseen's magic Koldur begins to destroy the undead faster than Johanna. Jevar gets into the swing of things as well putting out a bit of damage. 2 more skeletons fall to your blows.
Round 8
The room has a stillness to it again. No sounds but from the labored breathing of your allies and the skuffing of your own shoes on the cold hard stones. Looking around you don't see much but where the skeletons used to lay their bones. Nothing much of worth, the weapons seem to be in decent shape perhaps mastercraft items.
Halseen begins to scan the room. He cast detect magic to see if it helps in the process.
Halseen and Ulcia from a two person search party.
"We have some money, a secret door, and a strange spider with and eye on it."
"Good eye Halseen, Best we gather ourselves first. Guardians like that should mean that the tomb should be interesting once more..."
"Wait there is what? Good eye indeed. Let us leave the strange spider but keep watch if it becomes aggressive. We should try the secret door if all agree."
Ulcia pads up toward the spider thing to see if it reacts.
The spider is high above in one of the corners of the room.
She just went over to see if it came alive and/or attacked. Halseen will focus his detect magic on the spider then if it is not magic will try to pull at it with mage hand.
"If it's not a living thing or hostile creature, we should just retrieve it.. No telling what it maybe." Koldur ventures.
"It does not seem to be living, I am trying to determine if it is not hostile."
Johanna awaits to see what happens if the thing is a construct or just a statue.
Jevar picks back up his bow and stows his melee weapon. He looks around and nods to Halseen's discernments. "That is the extent of my vision as well. I cannot perceive anything else in this tunnel of interest." he said simply.
He pulls an arrow and preps it in case the spider reacts to the cat.
It appears to be stuck as mage hand does not work, it also does not move at the cat approaches it.
It appears to be just a 'statue' made of metal.
Halseen will pull at glowing eyes if they don't come free he will say, "Should we check the next room?"
Koldur begins moving into the next room...
Indeed.
Johanna follows her old teacher.
"Let's see what do we have here. For this horde to be guarding so zealously."
You open the false wall and you see a hallway that is 10 feet wide. It has pictographs of hunters and warriors fighting.
At the end of the hallway you find red stars, yellow suns, and blue crescent moons on each five foot section.
"There is a lot of stuff in here. Take a look. There is another metal spider up there. Wait there is a spider on this bottle. Also there is lever with a moon on it."
Halseen cast detects magic to check the item.
"All these symbols of spiders and what not. Have we stumbled onto a cult's hideout or something?"
"A good eye Halseen. So do you think the lever controls traps? Would you say going into the next area is dangerous?"
"We now have a potion and a wand. The ring likely has some kind of abjuration protection magic on it but I need to study it more. All of these squares have evocation magic. They are likely very dangerous."
Halseen tries to figure out the nature of the Evocation magic.
Halseen will tell the group about the runes.
"Some of the runes will explode others are fake."
"Would the runes the affect the path if they explode?" queries the dwarf.
"How does it trigger and can you tell which is fake?"
"If some are magic and some are fake can you not discern the path with detect magic?"
Jevar scratches his head a bit as he listens to what the others are saying about the room. He chuckles "You know, this reminds me of a story I was told once by a traveler. He had to go steal the hat of a wizard in the woods. But the whole house was booby trapped with all kinds of dangerous spells. Since he had more time than knowledge...the crazy man gathered up a bunch of squirrels and rabbits. He dumped bag after bag of them into the chimney and waited till everything went quiet." he offered.
He looked at the others a bit "Could work here, just gotta watch to see which spots blow up and which don't."
