Tarandil moves forward past Magmoira for a slightly better position to attack the incoming skeletons with magic. He continues his barrage of insults, making arcane gestures at the skeleton closing in on Dasim.
Rrath rushes forward and attacks the front left skeleton.
Aaaaaaarrrrrrrgh!
Thunderwave:
Failed save pushed back 10' and full damage...save only take 1/2 damage and not pushed back. DC-15
The skeleton is not impressed by Tarandil's insults. Magmoira's spell has more effect though as the skeleton in front of her is pushed back. Rrath's hand axe only barely misses. The skeletons keep marching forward though. The first two encounter Mags after she just finished her spell. One goes marching past only to find a crab with sparking claws zapping him. The last comes around the tables to attack Rrath.
Dasim steps up into a flanking position on the skeleton engaged with Rrath and whirls the flat of spear head against the undead creatures bones followed by a spinning kick to sweep its legs.
Dasim hits with his spear but misses with the follow up attack.
Rrath attacks the skeleton between him and Dasim.
Mags is rocked by the vicious blow from the skeleton, but quickly rallies and strikes back at the animated bones.
Attack:
Damage:
Rrath cuts down the skeleton between himself and Dasim.
The bones char from Ziyad's magical fire.
Magmoira strikes true and smashes one of the skeletons attacking her.
The magic takes hold of the skeleton as it slashes at Magmoira again. Meanwhile, the other steps up to challenge Rrath.
Rrath returns the favor on the red one, but not be fore shouting,
I need healing!
Magmoria drops like a poleaxed steer, blood slowly oozing from the deep scratches made by the skeleton's jagged claws.
Death Save:
Ziyad's flask goes sailing past the skeleton. Rrath has greater success at his greataxe tears the skeleton to pieces.
Seeing Magmoira fall, Dasim rushes over to try and draw the skeleton's attention. Using the flat of his spear blade and his own fist, he attempts to shatter bones and crush the joints of the undead menace.
Though Magmoira lies bleeding on the ground, Dasim smashes the remaining skeleton.
Rrath looks around the room.
Does anyone have any healing for Mags?
Mags is still unconscious but is not in danger of bleeding out.
Tarandil rushes over to Magmoira and begins casting a healing spell.
"That should get her back on her feet. We must be cautious here. I'd hate to see any of us join these undead."
Seeing that Tarandil has Magmoira's injuries under control Dasim looks around the cavern with Rrath. "Where did that blasted necromancer get off to. I swore I saw him when we first entered?" He says looking for any other exits or hidden passages but having a hard time do to the stench coming from all of the dead in the chamber.
"Are we ready to continue the hunt?" Dasim says to his companions. [b]"I believe the villain scurried down that far passage."[b] He adds moving toward where they last saw the necromancer.
Like I said, I could use some healin', Tarandil, if ya have any more?
Tarandil nods. "I have one more healing spell. We stand a better chance of stopping that necromancer if we're at our best."
Thank you, Tarandil.
Rrath moves down the passage with Dasim in search of the necromancer.
You follow the passage down as it opens into an oval chamber forty feet wide and sixty feet wide. Dark purple tapestries hang on the walls around the room. At the center stands a pedestal fashioned of severed arms arranged to clutch one another in a cone. Cradled in the uppermost hands is a glowing crystal sphere. A dark sigil with an eyelike slit floats above the sphere.
Rrath emphatically points to what appears to be a lump behind one of the drapes while making no sound. Then he puts a finger between his two tusks as he tiptoes towards the lump with his axe drawn.
Dasim pauses to look at the sigil but has no idea what it is or who it might represent. Instead he nods quietly at Rrath's signal and moves toward the curtain and whatever might be hiding behind it.
Dasim rips the curtain back to reveal whatever might be hiding underneath.

In an alcove behind the drapery stands a skeleton holding a short sword and shield guarding his master, a dark haired band that looks to be of noble birth but now looks very much insane judging by his wide grin. "Can't you see it? It's the eye! It sees your every move! Don't you fear it?"
Rrath swings at the skeleton.
Current HP: 8/9
Mags also slams the skeleton.
Attack:
Damage:
Seeing Rrath and Magmoira quickly dealing with the skeleton, Dasim uses his spear as a feint against the supposed Master of Lance Rock, and then follows up his wayward spear thrust with a solid punch to the man's jaw.
Flames lick at the pants of the necromancer. His skeleton bodyguard is quickly dispatched and Dasim steps in to challenge the master directly. Seemingly oblivious to what's about to happen, he still grins though he is missing some teeth.
