Wounded and sick from the rat bites, Jun tries to stumble away from the rats
HP 0/12
Aya moves to Antonio while digging through her backpack for a Healing Balm. As soon as she can after arriving at Antonio she applies the balm to his wounds. Then digging for another balm, she moves to Jun and applies the balm to his wounds.
(I realize this is more than one round.)
Jun will channel, excluding the rat swarm
HP 4/12
With the healing energy washing over him, Antonio revives somewhat. He rises to his knees and automatically recovers his sword and torch.
Seeing Reiko being attacked by the swarm, Antonio lashed out with his sword.
for a possible slashing damage.
Jun channels twice, healing the wounds of everyone. Feeling better himself he says to the others, "That was a hideous pack of rats. Their bites may not be much, but all together that was lethal!"
First Healing Balm, Antonio
Second Healing Balm, Jun
I am not injured. Anyone have an idea where the old woman went?
Eldon. I messed up playing ahead. Can I take one of the balms back?
Reiko aids the fallen with standing if they can, and maintains a vigil over them while the healers do their work. He keeps his katana out, and it's electric blue glow from his magic on it sheds only enough light to see the grim look on his face.
Sorry it took so long to reply. Had a meeting who my old band the other day and it looks like we are getting back together and playing downtown again. Been busy with that, though my posting rate shouldn't suffer because of it. Glad to finally be able to post again!
"She must be that way...let's press on."
Aya goes with the group.

I'll assume that everyone moves ahead.
Through the archways is a crypt. Bodies that are mostly dust now are arrayed on stone blocks, each the size of a three foot high cot. There are three...the one in the center in an ancient form of armor, with a very large sword lying along his body.
There are ancient runes on the stones.
{b] Can anyone decipher these runes? [/b]
Antonio hesitates, fascinated by the crypts in spite of himself. But he shakes his head as he looks back.
"I have to say, we are in something of a hot pursuit. I don't think we should stop to investigate." He said. He cautiously passed by the niches to look around the corner up ahead.

Around the corner, there is a somewhat larger crypt, not far past the turn.
Tisa chimes in...The runes look familiar...actually...I think that's a version of the holy symbol for the war god...Rauk...
Aya goes to the corner and studies the bottle residue.
Jun rubshis injured leg, "I have a bad feeling about this. It is almost like an ache when a storm is about to come in."
"What? It's just a bigger crypt. Where did she go?" Antonio complained.
Antonio swings his torch around, looking for other ways in/out.
"There's a stairway! Come on!" Antonio said eagerly. He quickly moves to the stairway, then looks up (or down), wary of an ambush.
Jun follow Antonio, We can come back here and check things out after we find the woman!"
Reiko delays, because he's pulling the rear and he suspects someone is in the room with them... Somewhere.
Aya waits with Reiko and studies the room.

As Antonio approaches the foot of the stairs, the occupants of all five stone diases in the crypt begin to move, rustling the tattered ancient armor as they do.
Four seem similar enough...motivated by nothing but magic and instinct...but a feral intelligence gleams in the last one's withered eyes. He speaks...awkwardly...in a tongue nobody knows, but seems somehow familiar, and raises a sword and metal shield.
The others' weapons are barely held together...while his look sturdy.
I do believe initiative is in order...oh...and I'll be posting the full dungeon map, now.
Aya yells, 5 of them, one really bad one. Who wants an 'Enlarge'?
Reiko assumes his stance, and points at the undead that spoke.
We speak not your language, so try a different one!
He then repeats this in every language he knows.
Reiko, Do you want me to cast Enlarge on you? If so wait for me.
Reiko holds until after Aya.
