Igneous will search for some sort of way to open it that perhaps doesn't involve a lock - Perception
As he searches he asks his companions, "Any lock pickers among us? I'd hate to just break in..."
As he searches he asks his companions, "Any lock pickers among us? I'd hate to just break in..."
"Are you worried that the undead will call for the authorities?" Glendal asks.
Handsome is definitely paralyzed. Something a healing spell could cure. (lots of options, including Restoration)
"Uh, I hope there's a potion to cure paralysis in here somewhere..." The poor birb.
As he searches he asks his companions, "Any lock pickers among us? I'd hate to just break in...""Are you worried that the undead will call for the authorities?" Glendal asks.
Igneous grins, "No but I don't wish to damage property of the man that hired us, it's his family crypt".
Igneous grins, "No but I don't wish to damage property of the man that hired us, it's his family crypt".
"It's the only way to find and destroy evil. If 'the man that hired' had a key? He must fully expect you to destroy the door." Replies Glen. "Smash! Smash! Smash!"
"Didn't he give us a key?"Anton says as she then laughs.
"Also, me a Ghost! The Haunted entertainer" he laughs a little louder.
"I could captivate them with juggling and dancing!" Anton says, then laughs."If I talk, I can hurt them with my wit!"

"I could captivate them with juggling and dancing!" Anton says, then laughs."If I talk, I can hurt them with my wit!"
Yes in deed, one of you now has the key!
"Hmmph, a mixed blessing indeed.
That the crypt is locked means no one else is likely to have been there before us, BUT it also means that whatever is in there can't have gone anywhere and is waiting for us.
Joy..."
"Say, Anton?
How is your wit likely to work against the already dead?
It'll be a captive audience, but you'll be playing to a dead room."
Yes in deed, one of you now has the key!"Didn't he give us a key?"Anton says as she then laughs.
"Also, me a Ghost! The Haunted entertainer" he laughs a little louder.
"I could captivate them with juggling and dancing!" Anton says, then laughs."If I talk, I can hurt them with my wit!"
Igneous pauses and feels around his person, "Hey! The key!" He uses it to open the lock confounding their forward progress.
" Who said I'd entertain just the dead! I'd haunt a few places" He said with a laugh.
Yes. It was Arianhodel that had it. After all, she was the leader.
The door opens to a musty smell of death and decay. Inside, it's dark, but there are torches along the wall that you can light.
"That's handy. Someone's been doing the upkeep.
Mind you, that COULD mean there is one more walking corpse to worry about."
"I can see but do the rest of you need light?"
Igneous lights one of his torches and steps in, mace in hand.
Glendal pulls a marble from a pouch on his hip. He touches it after an incantation. The marble bursts with light. The mage tosses it inside while wondering where it will roll and what it will show.

Make a dexterity check adding your intelligence modifier. This is geometry you invoked.
The marble does not roll to the center, but on the left side. You see a bunch of old skeletons on the left side, some are mere piles of bones. There is a central crypt in the center top. You have to ascend some stairs to get there.
"Fun trick! I assume then that that way may delve deeper in?" He asks looking at the Snake riding Gnome.
"The bones may play. Be on guard." says Glendal while nodding toward the skeletons.
One of the dead bodies began to stir.
Anton throws up his shield. His other hand drawing a Shuriken,but also readies to throw a punch.
"Dem bones, dem bones, dem bones..."
Ruhk grips his axe tightly, realising that perhaps it's not the most ideal weapon for the situation.
Glendal yells, "I will take your undeath and wipe my bottom with it!". The summoner moves close enough to the abomination and summons a celestial eagle. The newly formed beast attacks the fleshless bone beast.
Hmm, I'm not sure if 1d4 damage equates an eagle's talon attack, because their talons can break bones.
Glendal, we do not use Initiative. Anyone else wants to strike this round?
Anton will strike with his fist, letting the cestus smash through the bones

[dice=Cestus]1d20+2
[dice=Damage]1d4+2
They are five feet away, and closing.
Lizbit joins in the undead stabbing.
Ruhk imbues his weapon with magic power, steps up to meet the undead and strikes.
Since waiting on Igneous would slow the game down, I'm taking my turn and declaring a new round.
The skeletons approach. Glendal's celestial eagle strikes true with one of her talon attack, and breaks off a skeleton's right arm below the elbow. Anton's attack also strikes true, and he takes off a skeleton's head.
Lizbet gets a spear between one of the skeletons' ribs. She still strikes true and dislodges a rib. Ruhk smashes through the skeleton that Glendal's eagle struck.
There are 3 skeletons left out of five. One attacks Lizbit with an ancient sword.
;
Another strikes at the eagle. ;
Another skeleton gains up on Anton! ;
Ruhk can flank Anton's skeleton.
Taking advantage of the tactical opening, Ruhk quickly steps around the skeleton since it's so helpfully offering it's back to him.
Then he attempts to smash it's ribcage to bits.
Lizbit counters the approaching skeleton with two thrusts of her spear.
Anton will throw another Shuriken.
Igneous shuffles forward at the Skeleton that Anton attacked with a shuriken.
Mace Attack - - Damage
Igneous trips and is supine. Anton's attack is blocked, Lizbit managed to separate an arm from a skeleton. And Ruhk smashed a ribcage!
MY TURN!
There are two skeletons left. One missing an arm, and the other relatively still intact!
The one attacking Anton will attempt to skewer him with an ancient sword. ,
The skeleton still attacking Lizbit still attacks her!
,
ROUND 3!
"Yes! That's it, we've got them on the run now! Figurately speaking of course..."
Seeing Lizbit being beset, Ruhk moves to aide her.
"Rudwe blocking my attack, its almost like trying to hit a stiff board! Anton says throwing another.
"Rudwe blocking my attack, its almost like trying to hit a stiff board! Anton says throwing another.
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Possible CRIT! Roll to confirm!
Igneous, cursing, gets back on his feet!
Lizbit steps away from the skellington next to her and stabs again. A spear is not a great weapon against a skeltle.
Lizbit's spear misses the skeleton. Igneous gets back on his feet, Anton basically destroys his target, and Ruhk also misses.
One skeleton left. My turn!
The skeleton closes the distance, and attacks Lizbet!
,
ROUND 4!
"If it could feel fear, I bet it would feel it now!"
"Altough probably not me, with that strike..."
Maybe Lizbit isn't so good at killing undead after all...
Anton will move up and strike.
Surrounded, Igneous manages a flank against the final foe swiging his mace at the set of bones -
Mace Attack - - Damage

Looks like all of you are rolling bad against one skeleton. Igneous misses, Anton misses, Lizbit misses, and Ruhk misses.
The skeleton, who is NOT feeling fear, attacks Igneous again with it's ancient sword!

BEGIN ROUND 5!
