AS soon as Hootie steps in to see what is going on, six skeletons assemble from various shambles and shuffle towards the group with menacing intentions.

Hootie moves back, as she doesn't wanna be anywhere near the ensuing battle. Waruk takes a mighty swing, but get nothing but air. Nit casts mage armor to better protect himself, while Tannivh fires off an acidic ray but it sails between the ribs and splashes the ground. Raven, sends a small ball of pure force that sends tiny shock waves through the enemy and it topples to the ground...motionless.
The remaining skeletons, attack those that wish to disturb their rest.
The only skeleton skilled enough to get through all the defenses is the skeleton that attacks Hootie, which narrowly avoids clipping an artery, causing sever pain. Lucky for the Gnome, the claw only get the flesh.

Tannivh tries to prevent the skeletons from getting an advantage by casting a patch of grease
School conjuration (creation); Level bard 1, sorcerer/wizard 1
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, M (butter)
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target one object or 10-ft. square
Duration 1 min./level (D)
Save see text; SR no
A grease spell covers a solid surface with a layer of slippery grease. Any creature in the area when the spell is cast must make a successful Reflex save or fall. A creature can walk within or through the area of grease at half normal speed with a DC 10 Acrobatics check. Failure means it can't move that round (and must then make a Reflex save or fall), while failure by 5 or more means it falls (see the Acrobatics skill for details). Creatures that do not move on their turn do not need to make this check and are not considered flat-footed.
The spell can also be used to create a greasy coating on an item. Material objects not in use are always affected by this spell, while an object wielded or employed by a creature requires its bearer to make a Reflex saving throw to avoid the effect. If the initial saving throw fails, the creature immediately drops the item. A saving throw must be made in each round that the creature attempts to pick up or use the greased item. A creature wearing greased armor or clothing gains a +10 circumstance bonus on Escape Artist checks and combat maneuver checks made to escape a grapple, and to their CMD to avoid being grappled.

Tannivh: grease spell, both fall down
Raven: go
Waruk, takes a swing as a skeleton approaches, but misses. His swing on the other skeleton, misses as well. Tannivh is more successful as both skeletons are not nimble enough to stay on their feet, and fall as a patch of slippery goo coats the floor under them.

Invigorated by Fleur's magic, Raven tries a different tactic. I have some positive energy... I can't heal, but I can slow them down. "ചെറുക്കാനും!"

-----------------------
Nitkiflink tries to stab the skeleton twice, but misses both times. Fleur looks around for a club, and finds a broken tree branch that looks sturdy enough to take a few good whacks with. .
Raven, blasts the prone as it is falling, disrupting its hate filled soulless soul but it stays together.
The skeletons then proceed to continue fighting the invaders. The two skeletons that were flailing on the ground, stand up, not knowing that those actions allow a few if the intruders the opportunity to bach them to bits.
The lone skeleton in the back, moves into the grease, trying to keep its balance. It falls flat on its bony tailbone, since it has no ass.
The skeleton still engaged with Waruk, takes another two swipes at him. Both claws rake his armor, but barely even leave a scratch.

============
The skeletons stand up, giving Waruk and Hottie ample shots at the bony enemy. Waruk, slashes the skeleton farthest from him. Normally his bladed weapon wouldn't be enough, but his sheer strength overcomes the skeletal nature, and it topples to the ground.
Hootie, hits the skeleton that hasn't been obliterated, and causes some damage, which Tannich them finishes off with a well placed acidic bolt to the skull. It falls to the ground, bones scattered various places.

Raven flicks her wand at the prone skeleton, not trusting her aim and knowing the missile will strike true.

The combined efforts of Hootie, Raven and Nit, take out the final skeletons. Once the bones stop rattling on the floor, the dust settles, you are able to go about your search. In the two backpacks, you find a total of a large pillow, two quivers (each containing 10 blunted arrows), 2 days’ worth of rations, a full waterskin, and a pair of smokesticks.

Raven lowers her wand. "Sheesh. Do you think they knew about those things back in town?"

You recognize the two deceased to be Gerol and Vark, both of whom are friends of the mayor.
Nitkiflink heads towards the western door, it appears to be unlocked. He opens it then heads out of any potential harm. In the center of this room is a large pool of clear water, fed by a fountain on the wall above it. The fountain has a stone statue of a weeping maiden holding the slain body of Kassen, but his head has been broken off and is nowhere to be seen. A voice booms out from the darkness, saying, Magic is the key. The voice slowly fades, leaving a dreadful silence.
Tannivh, scans the room in hopes to find a magical aura in hopes to be able to leave the room. A preliminary scan, doesn't bring anything to light. As he peers into the murky fountain, he spots something magical at its depths.
As Waruk looks down into the fountain, he can see 100 plus keys at the bottom of the fountain.
The fountain pool is 40' deep, and yes Tannivh you can locate the key via detect magic, but you cannot physically see the key.

Nit leans over the edge of the fountain and lets out a low whistle. Were we supposed to bring keys to drop in? Why are there so many? Look that one matches my eyes! Nit says as he points to a small golden key.
Nit casts a quick spell and sees the key begin to glow with magic.
Nit leans his spear against the fountain and pulls his robes off over his head, leaving his flabby squat body exposed. Standing gloriously on the ledge Nit plugs his nose and leaps in, concentrating on the key.
After about a minute, a soaking wet gnome comes back up and thrusts himself out of the water. After he dries himself off, he shows the special key to everyone.
Waruk, tries both doors. The right most door doesn't give way when the key is turned. The left door unlocks luckily, providing you more access to the Crypt.
This long corridor is flanked by a row of human statues, set into alcoves on each side. The statues look like Kassen, and each one holds a longsword out in front of it. The blades of roughly half the statues are wrapped in leather padding.
