All manner of weapons are present here on the racks. A little searching can find a usable version of any simple or martial weapon.
Kaako remains dubious as he looks longingly at his rapier. She has served him well and the tengu is loath to give her up. It feels like cheating. He feels dirty and doesn't like it.
Lavanna starts pulling out bludgeoning weapons, hoping one will act as a lever and open a secret passage.
Lavanna picks up a mace, then grabs a club. Cawlo shrieks and she sees the mace has magically reappeared on the rack, and she holds only the club.
"I see no harm in bringing one just in case."
Jadren takes a Warhammer.
Jadren looks up and down for a warhammer, but can't find one. He considers taking Lavanna's club, but concludes that might be perceived as rude.
"Alright, I will grab a mace. It may be helpful if we run into some skeletons. However, I am not giving up my Rapier if that is fine with all of you."
Kaako look through the weapons and finds a good mace.
"Ew.... do I HAVE to take one?" Just in case it's required, Elsir will look for a staff or a sling.
Elsir finds both a staff and a moldering jack strap useful as a sling.
Kaako finds a good mace. Or more likely a neutral mace. But let's not judge.
Jadren finds a morningstar, which is disappointingly not at all like a warhammer.
Lavanna doesn't find anything but Cawlo's admonishment, and the previously found club.
"Well then. I think we're good here. We should move onward through the door?"
Lavanna nods cautiously.
"Aye."
Jadren leads the way.
Jadren points to the other chamber. This is the way.
The flickering torchlight glints pleasantly off the sun statuette as the Avengers shipmates assemble. The door before you appears nondescript, so much so that there's no description of it.
Jadren give the door a quick search to make sure it isn't trapped. Assuming it doesn't appear to be trapped, he opens the door, with morningstar at the ready.
Kaako, keeps his rapier sheathed and he holds his 'good' mace in his hand looking at it like it is the most clunky weapon ever invented.
"I'm ready." He declares.
Elric nods.
Kaako nods.
Lavanna picks her nose.
Jadren opens the door.
The rolling ocean has been painted on the walls of this chamber in faded blues and pale white. Opposite the entrance is a raised platform, with an enormous stone throne set against the far wall. An equally large skeleton sits on the throne, clad in the raiment of a pirate — complete with a patch over one of its empty eye sockets.
The voice of your former captain calls out from the darkness.
"My old friends! You have come so far, and the end is just over the horizon. I hope you will face this final test together and learn, as I have, that you can only step into the future by overcoming your past."
As the voice fades, the giant skeleton suddenly stirs, standing up and drawing a massive scimitar. With a nightmarish clatter, it stumbles forward to attack!
Round 1
Jadren — GO
Elsir — GO
big f&!!ing skeleton — TBD
Kaako — TBD
Lavanna — TBD
Jadren does a sudden charge to close the distance with the enemy (40' of movement) and swings if it is in reach.
He then raises his shield.
Jadren charges forward suddenly, and gives a mighty swing! he's not quite used to the balance of the morningstar, however, and his blow glances harmlessly off the edge of the throne!

"Aw what the f$!~? Couldn't he just give it to us?"
Elsir steps in and blasts the skeleton with a lightning bolt!
The giant bag of bones takes advantage of Elmhurst's attempt to avoid blasting Jadren and avoid the worst of it! Further, the elf can see that not all of the juice goes through!
It focuses all of its undead fury on the sole target within range!
Then swings with its gaff hook!
Without success!
Round 1
Jadren — swingandamiss

Kaako — TBD
Lavanna — TBD
Jadren staggers back from the mighty swing this creature took at him. He decides to lay on hands to heal 18hp back, remaining a far cry from fully healed.
"Iomedae is with me this day! You cannot prevail foul creature!"
He swings his morningstar against his foe.
He raises his shield.
”I’m glad to her that you paid your dues and the Inheritor is with you today. Now, let’s see what luck she gives us!”
With his new mace drawn, he moves up and looks for a way to flank the skeleton.
"Hey, wait up!"
Lavanna scuttles into the room, her eyes growing big as the big skelly man comes into full view.
"That...is a big skeleton."
Double stride to move 50ft into the room, then a Religion check to Recall Knowledge.
Lavanna recognizes this as a giant pirate skeleton. (She wasn't entirely sure at first, but the eye patch kind of gave it away.) As mindless undead, she knows they are damaged by positive energy, and are healed by negative energy; and that they are immune to all mental effects. She also knows that they cannot be affected by death effects, disease, paralysis, poison, or be knocked unconsious; and that skeletons are resistant to cold, electricity, fire, and piercing/slashing physical damage.
Lavanna is a bit of a know-it-all, frankly.
She and Kaako move into the room!
Round 2
Jadren — GO
Elsir — GO
big f+&#ing skeleton — TBD
Kaako — TBD
Lavanna — TBD
Elsir opts for the straight forward approach, he stands his ground and levels a sextet of missiles at the skeleton
"Gonna drop the blessing and/or wrath of Gozreh. Gather round, kiddies!"
Elemenohpee sends half a Greek chorus of force missiles into the giant pirate skeleton! They each are absorbed into the brooch of shielding it wears! strike home without error!
Jadren sets up as if he's ready to act again, but the GM catches his mistake and the Iomedean sits there and thinks about what he's done.
The giant pirate skeleton sees two foes. Its concentration split, it cannot use its focused assault while both are within reach where it can see them. Accordingly, it does not.
Round 2
Jadren — strike two
Elsir — most magical missiles on Golarion
big f+++ing skeleton — mess up Jadren

"I've got one more! Incoming!" Continuing to stay put, Elsir focuses on a barrage of missiles,
Lavanna tiptoes up to Jadren and invokes the power of Gozreh.
"You're not looking so good. Healthwise, at least. Lucky for you Gozreh heals all kinds."
Kaako moves into position to try and back stab the skeleton with a mace.
"Jadren, tell the Inheritor that she can intervene at any time now."
Kaako can't get accustomed to the non-rapier-ness of his new weapon while Lavanna wakes Jadren up, opting not to chide him just yet for sleeping on the job! Meanwhile, Elroy sends another barrage of force missiles! The fight is not over yet, but they clearly are taking a toll.
Round 2
Jadren — strike two
Elsir — most magical missiles on Golarion
big f#&$ing skeleton — mess up Jadren

Jadren pulls himself to his feet, leaving the morningstar on the ground.
He steps to the side to provide a flank and bashes the skeleton with his shield boss.
No bash for Jadren.
Skelly man goes after Kaako this time.

Lavanna's bluster is overtaken by her concern for her friends. "Hey guys? Stop messing around and put this thing down. Seriously. Please."
She mutters to her god, "Hey, we could really use some help here. And that thing is decidedly unnatural."
ETA:
19 hp for the good guys, 19 hp on the bad guy (pending save)
It saves, though not critically.

"Leave the bird alone you bony bastard!"
Jadren bashes with his shield, hoping to catch it while it is flat-footed.
He raises his shield.
He then attempts to treat his wounds with battle medicine.
Jadren discovers that the giant pirate skeleton is very easily distracted, so much so that his shield bash against its flat-footed AC is exactly twice as low as he would expect it to be! His shield boss does full damage, like a boss, and he manages to stanch his bleeding as well!

"LOUD NOISES"
"Ah f*@& it..... INCOMING!"
Elsir blasts a torrent of water at the skeleton! The sorceror digs deep, summing all his arcane might!
for and knocks it straight back 5'.
Elmo washes the giant pirate skeleton -- unsurprisingly, it's been in need of a good rinse -- and knocks it back into the throne, giving it an additional damage! The massive creature isn't knocked prone, but it's had a few ribs broken, and it'll need to see a cleric about that.

The giant skeleton bashes the hell of of Kaako and feathers fly everywhere. The tengu lies on the ground dying.
However, moments later, Lavanna's healing stirs him awake. He grabs the stupid mace, stands up and futilely swings it again at the skeleton.
Kaako takes a nap, but shortly thereafter awakens, sleep in his eyes as he swings in vain!
With a mighty swing of its gaff hook, it tries to finish off what it started and then started again on Jadren. No one calls it a boney bastard. That's hurtful, man.
Then claws at Kaako for getting feathers everywhere. Do you know how long that'll take to clean up?!?

"Heal Kaako and get him out of here! Regroup and heal and fight it through the doorway where it will be less effective! The inheritor will protect me!"
Lavanna heeds Jadren's words and for the last time this sleep cycle invokes the power of Gozreh.
"No whammies, no whammies, no whammies..."
Umm...those should have been d10s...
