"I'll try to take the black one down. You guys just push it back!" yells Almon. He then weaves various signs and speaks elvish words of arcana.

Almon casts create pit in the 10-foot space between the black skeleton and the other skeletons. Right now that gives the black skeleton and the one on the other side a +2 to the reflex to jump out of the way. Tried to draw the pit location.

reflex black skeleton: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 2 = 21
reflex skeleton south: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 2 = 12
reflex skeleton north: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 + 2 = 24

falling damage skeleton south: 1d6 ⇒ 1

I sort of guessed that was what you were going to do. That worked well enough for the pit. What you didn't list was the DC, but I am presuming 16? the southern normal skeleton falls into it. You planning on moving out of Nuela's way with her bow behind you?

Round Two.
Looking at the distance it would need to jump, it doubles down on its attack on Darrien.

short sword: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19 damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3 plus Str: 1d3 ⇒ 1
short sword: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17 damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1 plus Str: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Seems you made it nervous Almon! Nuala, Darrien and Sorek are up.

Frustrated the the black skeleton seemed to shake off his punches despite hitting it square in the ribs...Sorek tries again

Concentrating for a split-second to take aim...Sorek leaps into the air and launches a spinning back kick to the side of the black skeletons head.

Go to Shards of Iron Strike..

Shards of Iron Strike: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (2, 1) + 5 = 8 plus Staggered 1rd if hit

ha-ha! You hit like baby ram! No horns yet!

He taunts as he blocks the blows with his shield.

He will move to flank the black skeleton, taking a AoO if he must.

now, let the light within me shine out against the darkness!

Using lay on hands as a touch attack.

Tattack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 2 = 14 +1 for morale bonus?

damage: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8 +1 for morale bonus?

positive energy should bypass his DR

I am not sure the moral bonus stacks with the spell, but you hit. It will need to make a Will Save for half as you hit.

Nevermind, Undead do not receive a saving throw against this damage.

"Alternatively, a paladin can use this healing power to deal damage to undead creatures, dealing 1d6 points of damage for every two levels the paladin possesses. Using lay on hands in this way requires a successful melee touch attack and doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity. Undead do not receive a saving throw against this damage." Edit: ninja'd

Yeah I got that at the same time:) The question is the morale bonus. Will leave that open for the moment and let someone chime in on it as I can find nothing off hand. At minimum you did 5. 1d6 every two levels is 1d6, sorry. You get your second die at level 4. This is why they will go after a paladin first.

If it is a roll to hit, you get the morale bonus. You don't get it for the damage.

oops, I always forget it's not like the clerics channel. But doesn't matter. Mission accomplished. Btw why wouldn't you? Do you not get morale bonus on inflict wounds spells?

I know you do not get it on spells.

Yeah, sorry dc is 16. Also morale bonus is to any weapon attacks and including rays. Though the morale bonus affects the attack, it doesn't help the lay on hands damage.

Aggrammar casts a divine spell on Sorek - "Go on then lad! Show'em what ya got"

Casting Bless Weapon on Sorek. Maintaining Sermonic Performance.

Nuala fires at the black skele with a blunt arrow..

Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24
Dam: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (2, 2) + 5 = 9 Damage is just blunt, no magic.

As Almon did not move out of the way you are firing through him and Darrien for +8 cover so you just miss. Which is a good thing for had he moved you would have hit Darrien. It was not going to overcome the DR with 2 2's.
The skeleton in the pit attempts to climb out, the others stay where they are.

climb: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Almon is up as Lars cowers at the end of the hall.

Sorry, didn't move because of my next action. Right now, ranged attacks are bad anyways

"Hurry and Push it down into the pit!

Falling back on his training, Almon summons a barrier to protect his allies and himself.

Using Protective Ward: +1 Deflection to AC if with 10'. 5 rounds). 2 More rounds left on create Pit.

Also, if you successfully bull rush the skeleton, it doesn't get a reflex save to fall into the pit. Free damage and it can't attack you for a bit. Also, don't move with it if you do bull rush.

Round Three
The black skeleton continues to press his attack on Darrien:
short sword: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19 damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3 plus str: 1d3 ⇒ 1
short sword: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21 damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3 plus str: 1d3 ⇒ 2

reflex: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 2 = 24

Sorek, Darrien and Nuala are up

<whimper> "Mommy"

Round 3
Reveling in the Holy surge of energy from Aggrammars spell, Sorek once again lashes out at the black skeleton with 2 quick punches to its ribs
Attack #1 : 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 11 Damage #1: 2d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (1, 6) + 5 + 1 = 13

Attack #2 : 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 1 = 23 Damage #2: 2d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (6, 6) + 5 + 1 = 18

Bypassing dr bludgeon and good

It definitely felt that last hit Sorek. Poor Lars. He looks up and sees the trap door end and scampers back 10'!

ha-ha! What is problem skelly man? You can no hit paladin? Perhaps you are afraid ahaha! Well, I suppose you should be.

Darrien realized that his best bet is to simple keep touching the skeleton in places that bother him. So he brings his shield in to better defend himself.

attack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 2 - 4 = 23

LoH: 1d6 ⇒ 1

ha-ha! Oops I think I broke rib. No worry, I know wolf back home. Greatly enjoy this.

if possible Darrien will move to get his back to the lit edge. If that would put him in striking rangebof the black skeleton still. Also, if no one else was using that sword, Darrien -could- use it edit: I think I tickled his belly. I say we use the 3 I rolled.on my other one haha. Since ya know, it woulda been that anyway. Lol :P

BAD TOUCH! BAD TOUCH!

Since it is technically 'healing' I will let you reroll the 1.

From behind the first line, Aggrammar uses his longspear to aid Sorek in landing his blows, trying to set up the skeleton for his companion's attack.

Aid Sorek to attack vs AC10: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 5 - 4 = 15

"Lets get it lads - wretch's beginning ta falter!" - he continues on bolstering them with his words.

Almon pulls out a scroll and quickly reads the contents. Two quick blasts of force fire off at two of the skeletons behind the pit.

Used a 3rd level magic missile scroll.

missile 1: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
missile 2: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Two skeletons fall

The black skeleton attacks once again at Darrien:

short sword: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29 damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4 str: 1d3 ⇒ 3
short sword: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23 damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2 str: 1d3 ⇒ 1
confirm crit: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29 extra damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Crits Darrien once for 9 and 3 Str.

reflex: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 2 = 24

Sorek, Darrien and Nuala are up. Last round on the pit.

His confidence bolstered by that last solid hit cracking the black skeletons ribs Sorek aims two quick blows at the same place

+1 from inspire. +2 from Aggrammars aid another, bypasses magic bludgeon & good dr

Attack #1 : 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 14
Damage #1: 2d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (1, 4) + 5 + 1 = 11

Attack #2 : 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 12
Damage #2: 2d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (2, 6) + 5 + 1 = 14

Darrien... There is a skeleton just begging to be touched by you.... Whether it is inappropriately or not i will leave up to you

-Posted with Wayfinder

attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 16

loh: 1d6 ⇒ 6

sorry, busy day

Nuala casts true strike

The skeletons will do nothing until the hole is gone. Aggrammar and Almon are up

Almon tries to fire off a ray of frost on the black skeleton.

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 1 + 1 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 1 + 1 + 4 - 4 = 22
Damage, cold: 1d3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

Confirmation Roll: 1d20 + 1 + 1 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 1 + 4 - 4 = 9
Extra Damage: 1d3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

Does not confirm, but this skeleton does not seem to be immune to cold damage. It takes 4 and is not looking well.

Do skeletons ever really look well? I mean, someone give it a cheeseburger!

Aggrammar continues aiding Sorek in his attacks.

Aid Sorek: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 5 - 4 = 3

But this time the dwarf aims too wide...

The BS attacks the paladin once more

ss: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2 str dam: 1d3 ⇒ 3
ss: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2 str dam: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Round Five
Black Skeleton misses twice

Nuala fires at the BS.

longbow w. true strike: 1d20 + 7 + 20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 20 + 1 + 1 = 31 damage: 2d6 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1, 5) + 2 + 1 + 1 = 10

thud.... Sorek and Darrien are up.

Seeing the black skeleton reeling Sorek tries to finish it off

Attack #1 : 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 1 = 20
Damage #1: 2d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (6, 4) + 5 + 1 = 16

Attack #2 : 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 1 = 20
Damage #2: 2d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (6, 6) + 5 + 1 = 18

The black skeleton falls, 2 skeletons left. Darrien and Nuala are up.

Darrien will wait until the pit is gone.

The pit is gone.

"Mop'em up lads!" - Aggramar roars, now with a smile on his face as the Black Skeleton has been taken down.

attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Darrien slams the flat of his shield into the rib cage of a skeleton

Nuala moves up 30' and fires with her longbow at the last skeleton with a blunt arrow:

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Nuala misses. The skeleton moves up and attacks her:
broken scimitar: 1d20 ⇒ 5 damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Misses also. Almon and Aggrammar are up then top of round.

BAck finally.. Sry guys..

No problem Nuala. Thanks for giving us the heads up.

Ok everyone... The black skeleton is down let's see if we can finish off the rest of them tomorrow

Before Lars loses his voice singing his current favorite Beatles song

Huh... Nuala moved into melee range? :o

"Place is damn crowded" - Aggrammar roars.

Will delay until after the skeleton.
