Zakan quickly lunges forward in fury of metal. He swings his shortswords making arcing strikes at the rats.

attack 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
damage 1: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

attack 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
damage 1: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Zakan swings his short swords, hitting the rats once though it is not as effective as he'd thought. Resistance to all weapon damage, even if it is magical
Yolanda, Three and Nileera are up

Yolanda moves towards the swarm and swings with he hammer.

"For the honour of the Battle Daughter!"

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

The drow draws her blade, moves toward the swarm and attempts to slash at the rats.

"Yolanda, why must you always shout like that? There's no great battle going on, and shouting might attract the attention of other dwellers of this here dungeon. On a second note, I thought her monickers were the Luck Maiden or Lady of the Fray?"

Longsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 161d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Old 2e book, demihuman deities, has a lot of fluff information on the various gods of the realms.

Both are hits, damaging the rats and thinning their numbers further. still only 6 damage total as they are resistant to weapon damage. actually since Yolanda is a Cleric, wouldn't she have a sacred flame cantrip or something similar. That is one of the best Cleric cantrip spells.

Three adds his blade to the melee as well as stomping on rats as necessary.

Sword Attack Roll: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Damage Roll: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Bonus Action Attack Roll: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Damage Roll: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Three hits and kills some rats.
round 2, Zakan is up.

"Oi get offa me will ya" Zakan yells in desperation, swiping at his feet.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Damage 1: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Attack 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Damage 1: 1d6 ⇒ 6

The swarm being reduced to half its size is not as effective hit: 2 + 1d20 ⇒ 2 + (2) = 4 and still manages to fail
All heroes, except Zakan are up Swarm took 18 of 24 damage

Elaith tries to send another fire bolt into the rats, but misses again and curses in Dwarvish.

Fire Bolt attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Fire Bolt damage: 1d10 ⇒ 4

Seeing her weapon having little effect, Yolanda calls upon her goddess to help destroy the swarm.

Sacred Flame: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Longsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19 Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Nileera continues to sweep at the rats with her blade.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Elaith misses dex against yolanda: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 rats failed
Then they are hit with the sword for 4 damage. 21 damage on the rats

Three is up.

Three continues to hack and stab rodents without comment in the most efficient way possible.

Sword Attack Roll: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Damage Roll: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Bonus Action Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Damage Roll: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

And that is all the rats. I need a perception check from the first person who is going towards the door.

Seeing the others hesitate Zakan steps forward, gathering his lit torch he dropped before the battle. He peers into the torchlit darkness near the door.

perception: 1d20 ⇒ 18

Zakan spots the pittrap in front of the door and sees what is in the pittrap. Heroes easily kill the giant rat in the pit trap from a ranged distance and recover the gold in there. There is also a scimitar in there if anyone needs one.

Next Heroes enter the Tower Shell room. This circular area is cobbled with cracked granite, upon which sprawl the bodies of four goblins, apparently slain in combat. One corpse stands with its back against the western wall, the spear that killed it still skewering it and holding it upright. Three wooden doors lead from this area. A hollow tower of loose masonry reaches thirty feet into the air, but the intervening floors and stairs are gone, except for a couple of crumbled ledges.

I will update the map, after everyone tells me what they are doing, cause that affects what is being revealed.

Three will move across the room quietly to try and retrieve the spear from the goblin corpse.

Stealth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Elaith stands near the door, surveys the room and prepares to conjure his staple damaging cantrip if anything hostile shows up.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Fire Bolt attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Fire Bolt damage: 1d10 ⇒ 8

Yolanda steps into the room and looks around. She studies the stonework, as only a dwarf would, gauging its age and strength.

Stonecunning: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Zakan stays back behind the others with his torch and keeps alert. He looks uneasily at the goblin corpses and let's three take the lead.

perception: 1d20 ⇒ 5

Nileera backs up the sneaky types by keeping her weapon at the ready. Constantly maintaining her dancing lights spell. Every minute she lets it drop for 1 round to peer around in pure blackness before reigniting the lights.

Three recovers the spear, the body falls out of the way, revealing some runes.

Three discovers the secret door in the south with his good eyes, which has a lever next to it, which he can spot is trapped and needs disabled.

Light is thrown into the room, and all heroes the room is just about as empty as it really appeared to be.

"That's Draconic. Ashardalon," Elaith translates for others. "A name perhaps?"

The wizard tries to recall if he ever read or heard about anything called "Ashardalon".

It's knowledge time!
Arcana: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
History: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Religion: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Yolanda finishes looking at the masonry and moves over to the trapped secret door.

"Well best we get this looked after if we plan to move on. Who here knows about locks?"

The dwarf slyly looks over at the Drow as she says this.

Not paying attention to the dwarvish woman's gaze, Nileera also wonders about lock picks.

"Yolanda is correct about needing somebody who can pick a lock. Sadly that is not in my repertoire. Give me some materials and I can make a convincing disguise, but lock picks are not my thing."

-Posted with Wayfinder

I assume rogues are good at that sort of thing but am not sure of how I would do this in dnd, Pathfinder has disable device. Is there a role I should make?

"Let me have a look-see, or maybe more like a lock-see" Zakan says winking at the drow. From within an almost invisible pocket sewn into his shirt he pulls out an assortment of metal picks. He fumbles with the trap for a moment, probing it for weaknesses.

Disable: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6

oooo that ain't good

Zakan, make a dexterity saving throw dc 15 or take....., regardless the trap has been set off and does not reset. You will take....read spoiler for suspense

dexterity: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

well at least my 20 saves from me from my 1...
that damage would have really hurt!

Zakan opens the door the find three skeletons activate.

init: 3 + 1d20 ⇒ 3 + (15) = 18 Zakan
init: 0 + 1d20 ⇒ 0 + (8) = 8 Nieelra
init: 2 + 1d20 ⇒ 2 + (9) = 11 Elaith
init: 3 + 1d20 ⇒ 3 + (17) = 20 Three
init: 0 + 1d20 ⇒ 0 + (20) = 20 Yolanda
init: 0 + 1d20 ⇒ 0 + (16) = 16 Skeleton

The circular room is 40 feet by 40 feet and no one is at the far end, so everyone is within one move of the skeletons, don't worry about being exact when you move yourself on the map, especially since there are no lines to guide you, just tell me how far away you want to be. Obviously if you are 40 feet away from the door,
you aren't in the middle but at the far end.

So there's nothing on my knowledges?

Yolanda steps forward and slams one of the Skeletons with her hammer.

"Back ta the ground with ye.", she calls as she moves forward.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Nileera moves quickly through the room, even in her heavy chain mail, and attempts to bring her sword across a skeleton hoping to remove it's head from the body.

Longsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 211d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

"Of course there are skeletons in a place like this. Does anybody see a shallow grave or sign of the person who raised them?"

So there's nothing on my knowledges?

I do not see it anywhere in the book what it means or where it comes up again, if I do find a page where it comes up later, I will come back to the post where you did your knowledge checks.

Yoland swings at the skeleton only to find out they are vulnerable to blunt damage, thus killing one.
While Nileera cuts through a few bones but you don't go until after them according to init so the damage goes through later

Zakan and three are up 2 unharmed skeletons are left.

Three will throw the spear at one then move to threaten one of the others.

Attack Roll: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Damage Roll: 1d6 ⇒ 1

"The dead belong in Graves. Dark magic" Zakan looks visibly upset and spits as he readies himself for combat. He takes two slashes at the nearest skeleton.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Damage 1: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Attack 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Damage 2: 1d6 ⇒ 3

critical confirm: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Three misses Zakan hits the skeleton twice no confirming crits in 5e. extra crit dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Plus you do get sneak attack damage there rogue this isn't 3.5, you can sneak attack undead.
sneak dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 2 1d6 from the first hit and it can only be done once per turn, so your second attack does not apply it.
And Zakan kills a skeleton

The skeleton will try to swing at Zakan hit: 0 + 1d20 ⇒ 0 + (3) = 3

Then Nileera hits the last skeleton for 6 damage the action you took earlier
Elaith is up, then Yolanda and Three for round 2

Elaith moves in front of the door and slings a fire bolt into the skeleton.

Fire bolt attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Fire bolt damage: 1d10 ⇒ 6

Three draws his sword, then continues his signature stab 'n' stomp style.

Sword Attack Roll: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Damage Roll: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Bonus Action Unarmed Attack Roll: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Yolanda also moves against the final skeleton, her warhammer whistling down on the boney beast.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Overkill, heroes kill the skeletons and claim the gold inside. Where to now?

"We have two doors left now. Let's check them clockwise, starting with this one." Elaith points to the door to the left from the room with the skeletons.

"Can our lock master see of there are any traps?" The wizard smiles at looks at Zakan.

Zakan smiles uneasily and without a word heads over to the door to look for and disable any traps. His last encounter has left his ego hurt and he is ready to redeem himself.

Disable Device: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 3 + 2 = 21

Yolanda looks over her comrades to ensure none are injured.

Nileera gives Zakan a warm smile.

"Have faith in your skills Zakan. If you hurt yourself, the Kaxanar and I can patch you right up."

-Posted with Wayfinder

Three cleans his blade and resheathes it, then secures the spear and any weapons the skeletons had and stacks them in a pile near the door they are checking.

Heroes get to the door and Zakan tries to pick the lock, only to find out he can't You would have to roll a nat 20 to get the required dc, and failure by too much can set off an alarm spell as well as break you thieves tools.

Heroes take the upper left door. They come into a long hallway, door on the right, door on the left and door straight forward. to save you time, door in the right is completely empty, just a litter of rocky debris, good place to rest though if you place the rubble up against the door. Okay, door on the left and door straight forward. If you do the door on the left, I need a thieves tools check, no traps involved and the dc is lower than that other door, if you can do it on the first try, you will all get surprise rounds, if not I'll say you will eventually open it and it will be normal init, I recommend someone casting guidance if they have it for our rogue.

"Oi thats one tough door, I came close but I fear if I tinker much more I might set it off." Zakan steps back and rubs his chin.

After making their way down the hall Zakan puts his ear to the wall and eyes the door.

"Sounds like the lots lounging about in there. I might be able to get this door open quick enough to surprise 'em. Anyone got any spells that might aid me?" Preparing for a third attempt with his thieves tools he rubs his hands together and pulls out the silver pin set he has for lock picking.

"Spellcasting is not really my specialty."

"With that being said, however, I can help you try to work the door."

I will aid you, which will give you advantage.
