Holding his wound, Minwae staggers back. Well, that did not go as expected.
Darius jumps back as the gate lashed out at their new companion. Did anyone bother to clear the gate of traps?
I searched it and did not find traps. Perhaps I should search it again, but I do not believe it was a trap. I was attacked by that gate. Does anyone know the spell Disrupt Undead? It might be a safe way to destroy it from a distance. Or even positive energy?
Ogrim casts Detect magic to determine if the door is animated by any foul magic.
To Minwae: "That door got you pretty good. Do you need any healing"
The elf removes hand to expose a gruesome wound. The visual is tainted with the stench of bowel. Yes, Ogrim, healing would be most welcome.
Ogrim casts Cure light wounds on Minwae.
"There you go. You'll have to be quicker on your feet next time."
healed from most of his wound Minwae will again approach the wall and inspect it, looking for traps.
Ogrim, perhaps I could get a guidance from you for this attempt?
This time, you are able to see where the spear emerges. A unique space between the bones holds an advanced contraption that hides the spear and launches it forward. It is a tricky trap and will require no small amount of skill to disarm.
Ah, tricky. Now I see the device. Minwae exclaims. Hit me with another guidance and stand ready with a heal. I have a chance to disarm this thing. He readies both his tools and his nerves and sets to work.
This time, you hear a satisfying click as the spear drops and the gate swings open.
Repeated lines of footprints mark the dust on the floor of this crypt, all leading to an alcove in the northeast portion of the chamber. The burial niches lining the stone walls are empty save for ancient scraps of yellowed linen.
Six skeletons stand rigid in the alcoves of the room. When the group enters, they instantly jump to action. You hear the creaking and cracking of bones as the others join in the fracas.
Some of the skeletons wield old, rusted armor and weapons - others are unarmed and unarmored. All, however, glow with an unnatural green light from inside their chest cavities.

Round 1 -
Darius sees the undead in the room ahead and raises his hand quickly. With a quick incantation, a bolt of magic force lances out and strikes one of the skeletons in the chest.
The missile weaves around your comrades and strikes with surprising impact, catching the skeleton off-guard. It lands squarely in its chest, sending splinters of bone flying. Additionally, what appears to be a vial of a strange green liquid shatters, spilling the liquid onto the stone floor.
How would you prefer I share the maps so you can see them? I guess Google Docs?
Try this link. It may not work since it's pulling from Dropbox, but let's see.
Perfect. I've added that link to the campaign info tab, so it should always be active. The image SHOULD be dynamic based on my Dropbox updates, but let me know if that's not the case.
Not wanting to be surrounded, the elf choose not to move forward, but readies for one to come to him.
Ogrim steps forward and holding the talisman of his God, channels forth his holy might to smite the undead abominations.
Vigan attempts to tumble into position, but unfortunately, he just tumbles, bumping into Minwae.
Ogrim steps forward - his channel of energy fills the room. All of the skeletons shake but only one takes the full effect of the energy. However, rather than crumble, each of their green glows grow brighter and they look as strong as ever.
Hagar steps forward and swings his axe at one of the glowing skeletons.

The attack is devastating and the skeleton crumbles to the ground - again, with green fluid spewing forth. Some splashes on Haga, but with no ill-effect.
The remaining skeletons move forward to attack - two focusing their attention on Hagar and two delaying.

Both attacks land in quick succession, causing significant damage to Hagar.
Round 2
Updated Map
Darius moves towards the skeletons near Hagar, his staff striking out towards the undead. He pushes a bit of his magical strength into the wood, a slight glow permeating the staff.
Ogrim shifts to AS33 and casts CLW on Hagar.
Concerned about the half orc Minwae advances to AR32 and attacks the skeleton directly in front of him.
Darius steps in and smashes the skeleton in front of him. It crumbles into a pile of broken bones and alchemical liquid.
Ogrim's spell washes over Hagar, healing him slightly.
Minwae moves up to AS33 and throws his club at the skeleton not in melee at AP33.
Minwae attempts to throw at the skeleton in the rear. Unfortunately, the skeleton is able to dodge the attack, as the difficult throw around Hagar and the other skeleton gives it time to move out of the way.
Unable to reach the enemy, Ogrim casts Guidance on Darius.
Vigan tumbles across the floor and lands near one of the skeletons. He lashes out with his fists, but is unable to land a blow.

The skeletons all attempt to attack, but fail horribly [ooc}(sorry for the lazy description - but those rolls were pretty awful)[/ooc].
Hagar lashes out with his greataxe and attempts to end the skeleton in front of him.

He too fails to connect.
Round 3
Darius moves up to the next skeleton, staff spinning.
Since Darius moved up, Minwae will pull his long sword and 5 foot up to attack the skeleton in AR31.
