"We...
seem to be?" Grey responds to Kylma's question, looking about at the others.
Kylma easily burns the massive webs with ease, causing instant death to the spiders within them. The ones that manage to escape flee from the inner chambers to the safety of the open land.
Now I know that I really don't like spiders...
Fair enuff'. I don't mind the bigguns, just the swarms.
He winks back at Kylma, hefts his Greataxe and steps to the front of the order with Kylma again as they proceed.
Dorvren sneaks over to the nearest coridor and peers down it, sling in one hand mace in the other.
There is an opening in the southwest wall through which you can dimly see from Kylma's torchlight. The room is the same octagon shape with the same type of debris littering the floor. The smell in here is worse than the last room. There is a door on the east wall.
pausing to collect the scattered coins Kilain soon follows as the party advances.
Dorvren sneaks into the room, just out of the strong light of the torch.
You still see what you saw earlier.
Kjell will motion to the door in the room and head in that direction. Upon approaching the door, he listens for sounds on the other side.
Perception:
The door sets on a 15-foot wall. You put your ear up to it and hear nothing on the other side.
Kjell checks the handle to see if the door is open or locked.
The door is unlocked but closed.
With his hand on the door handle, Kjell looks to the others, and he weaits until they are in position.
Well, shall we?
Dorvren sets himself next to the door out of site and nods
Gulping a deep breath then releasing it slowly, Grey nods in agreement, a touch nervously.
Kilain, crossbow loaded and cocked stands away from the door pointing it towards the closed space. Nodding once to Kjell he draws a bead....
Kjell opens the door wide and looks into the room.
The room is not a room at all as you open the door, then realizing that it could have been trapped! Though it is dimly lit from Kylma's torch you see a spiral stairway leading up.dust and cobwebs fill the space with a musty smell lingering within.
Dorvren moves silently just ahead of the light
The stairs seem to lead to a floor about 10 feet above.
Check the stairs fer traps, Dorvren, and then let Kylma and I know if ya find anything so we can advance.
Dorvren does so.
You don't see any traps
Dorvren waves the others forward keeping stealthed in the shadows
Kjell proceeds up the stairs.
You all make it to the second level. The stairs continue up to a third level and there is another closed door on the west wall.
You can faintly hear what sounds like footsteps moving about beyond the door.
Grey whispers to the others, "Sounds like someone else has made it this far as well."
Dorvren checks the door for locks and traps.
There doesn't seem to be. The door is in fairly good condition, considering its age. It's made of solid hard wood which looks like you may have to put a little effort into opening it. The door opens out toward you.
Seems safe
Dorvren moves to the side of the door. Standing silently hidden as best he can.
Kjell steps forward and attempts to pull open the door with brute strength.
Kilain continues to follow ready for whatever he may find beyond the door....with a nod to Grey....or whomever.
The door opens with minor resistance, beyond the room is faintly lit by the torch Kylma's is carrying. You see 4 stickly creatures with curved swords swaying a bit as they walk toward you. As they close in you notice these stickly figures are animated skeletons!
Dorvren 18
Grey 15
Kilain 15
Skeletons 10
Kjell 7
The closest skeleton is 10 feet from the door.
Grey's eye's widen as he takes in what he sees. he cries, following that with sibilantly spitting an arcane syllable as he tosses a small spatter of an acrid smelling liquid at the closest skeleton.
Kylma rushed ahead and swings her greataxe one handed. The skeleton is reduced to powder and bone fragments. She is standing inside to the right of the door. The next closest skeleton is 15-feet away from the door.
Kylma rushes ahead and swings her greataxe one handed. The skeleton is instantly reduced to powder and bone fragments. She is standing inside to the right of the door. The next closest skeleton is 15-feet away from the door.
Dorvren moves quickly up to the second skeleton, and before it has a chance to act he swings his mace.
Dorvren rushes into the room and connects with the skull of the second skeleton, shattering it as it flies off to the side of the room.
Grey moves to the opposite side of Kylma and throws an acid flask at the third skeleton. It hits its mark and begins meting away its skull and off hand arm at the shoulder. It doesn't fall but it looks in very poor shape, more so than it did when you first saw it.
setting the loaded crossbow to the side in the hall, Kilain pulls his warhammer out, preparing to enter the room muttering hurrrrm no need to waste a bolt against these blighters.
The skeleton that has the acid eating its bones away, moves up to Grey and slashes at him with his broken scimitar giving him a serious gash across the chest.
The unthreaded skeleton moves up to Dorvren and swings wide missing him.
At the same time a door to the north-east and another to the south-east open. Revealing another skeleton at each one.
Kjell moves to a flanking position with Dorvren attacks the nearest skeleton that missed him, bringing his Great Axe to bear.
GA ATT:
GA DAM:
Grey cries out as the Skeleton slashes at him, driving him back.
