Dalgrym falls in line in his usual marching position towards the front
Xathanael smoothly moves to the front, continuing to seek treasures and threats.
A marble staircase descends 10 feet into a lofty ossuary. Shallow
niches holding the dust-covered, skeletal remains of thousands of individuals
line the 35-foot-tall walls. The fl oors are littered with scores
of bones and cloth fragments. The majority of the skeletons remain
on carved shelves. But those niches below 10 feet are mostly empty,
the bones scraped out and littering the fl oor. Thick webs heavy with
dust drape from the walls and ceiling in long strands.
Dalgrym nods in agreement, frowning.
Roylenna just shakes her head and says, ”Oh, dear,” as the mess comes into view. ”Such a lack of respect for the dead.”
"I doubt they will have much more for the living.", notes Xathanael as he applies his keen eyes and ears to the scene.
Shreds of leathery flesh cling to this skeletal figure’s body, while twin motes of fiery light glow deep in its eye sockets. Roll init Xathanael for the surprise round.
Xathanael you have one action in the surprise round.
Still waiting on Xathanael
Xathanael bounds into the fray, trying to trip the foul undead!
The undead is tripped
Everyone make a DC 19 Will save
Uthala is watching the room so is not in the AOE.
Tolbold looks around trying to figure out what is happening.
Still waiting on a will save from Amandana if she is still here.
Most of you have been teleported around the level.
Oops, Tolbold is a 1, not a 2. He is back in the room where you put the mace. I moved Royweena.
Wulgar,
A golden sun (permanent daylight spell) illuminates the room. The
ornate chamber is a ghost of its former glory. Faded murals depict a
shimmering sphere shining above Seraph’s summit. The sphere brilliantly
reflects the room’s light. Gold and silver embellish the walls
and fluted columns. Thick dust covers the floor, hiding the disintegrating
remains of many men. Fragments of clothing are all that remain.
A white stone altar draped in ashen silk sits atop a raised dais
against the southern wall. A massive 30-foot-tall marble statue of a
hawk-headed man stands behind the altar. The heavily muscled statue
has the mane of a lion and holds a golden staff with blue striping
high above the altar, pointing toward the shrine’s entrance.
The elf blinks in surprise...
"Master Dalgrym, where did everyone go? Wait... I think I hear Wulfgar's deep voice..." She moves forward to stand alongside the dwarven warrior and casts detect magic, concentrating on any auras she detects in an effort to determine as much as she can about them.
"I dunno', but I think that foul undead there had somethin' to do with it!" He shouts and runs forward to strike at it with his shield spike
Tolbold looks around and shakes his head, "How did I get here." He casts detect magic to look for any lingering auras to try to identify what spell was used.
He then moves back down the hall toward the undead creature.

You find yourself at the end of a rubble-and sand-
strewn hall.
Xathanael searches the hall, moving very slowly and very carefully, seeking out dangers, valuables, and exits.
Alone. Curses! I will explore here carefully and try to rejoin the others.

Dalgrym misses.
No, he did not make his perception check but can see Tolbold now and Uthala. What is he doing?
Slowly, carefully, Xathanael opens the secret door, getting ready to put his spear between him and any emerging foe.
Roylenna continues to keep watch for their missing allies, trusting Dalgrym to handle the creature. She would rather use her healing to aid her friends rather than use it against the undead, but if she must, she can...
