One dropped in anger, one dropped from inactivity. At least that's my perception of what happened.

Since we are down a few PC posting slots, let's end it now. I'm glad the three of us stuck it out and found a way out of this mess.

"Aye, we did. It's a relatively safe route, although you will have to climb through a tunnel. You can leave here and do you experiments in a different location. You will be safer there. Otherwise, the priests will likely send even more people down here to investigate, and they may not be as understanding. We can help you carry some basics, but you won't be able to take anything very bulky."

"Well now, that we've found the way out, who wants to go tell the madman necromancer there is a way out for him?"

Sooooooo, is the plan to clear the path so we can go back and smuggle the mad scientist out?

Yes, so just wondering if it's a climb check or not really.
"I think someone with a melee weapon should go first, in case something is along the way."

Does the tunnel go up, down, sideways? In other words, do we have to climb up more than 60' or just crawl along?

Once he's done with the knots in his rope, he hands it and the grappling hook to (whomever is the least likely to post but technically still with the group). Thorack motions for the group to follow the directions to the T-intersection, while having his bow in hand.

Thorack will start tying some knots in his silk rope to make it easier to climb.

Thorack, not known by other dwarfs for his diplomatic skills, tries to help persuade whatever is behind the door. "If we go away, we can't help you. I thought we came here to help."

I don't mind taking 20 (total 28), but I would like an update on the map. We haven't moved in a long time.

Thorack uses the chime to open the door. That's its second use.

Thorack looks for traps on the door/wall around it.
I'd like to take 10 on perception, giving me 18 total or 20 for unusual stonework. If I don't find any, I'll ask the rest of the party to stand back while I try to open the door that didn't detect as evil.

So, Thorack runs back to the group and informs him of the "message" he received by the mystery magic voice.

Thorack says, "I will go ask the magic shrine how we might get out of here without going through the upper levels of the Ossuary. I shall return in a a bit."
Thorack will leave the area and make his way back to the room with the magical talking shrine.
If nothing happens along the way, then--> Thorack will place 1gp onto the shrine and ask "Give me the exact directions on how to exit the catacombs without going through the upper levels of the Ossuary."

Thorack follows out of the room and out of easy hearing from anyone inside the room. "Well, I've got a plan! We should pretend to want to help him perform his experiments, and try to get the chemicals and bubbly stuff away from the crazy fool. Once he's far enough away from the chemical stuff, we can attack him and tie him up. He may trust us after we start helping him , and with his trust it should be easier to grab him and bind him. Then we can take him back to the priests upstairs. Might have to fight off that corpse of his, maybe throw some of that bubbly stuff he has on the tables at it."
"So the key is to pretend to help, and the moment we see him out of range of his bubbly contraptions, we attack. I don't want that crazy fool throwing those things at us, or worse, allowing him to drink some kind of crazy brew he created."

Thorack has a plan! But we should discuss it in private.

Not being that person, he still speaks up and says, "Why not just ask for permission to do this work where the family members permit you to perform your experiments on the recently deceased, rather on ones that you haven't gotten permission from? That's probably the biggest issue."

Thorack will take opening doors duty and open it.

Since Thorack is standing next to the creature, he will kick it with his unarmed strike. After his attack, he will take a 5' step back.
Unarmed strike: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

I suppose, but since we can edit the map, I guess it doesn't matter. I've updated my location.
Thorack steps back after the door opens.

"Allow me to open the door. As long as I'm aware of the potential for an arrow being shot at me, I should be okay. I have trained many years to knock them aside."
Assuming the others will step aside to avoid the trap, Thorack will open the door. I'll make a reflex save just in case, but I do have deflect arrows feat.

Okay, so now the map is editable. That's a good change that I approve of. Next up: when you say we are at the end of the corridor, I suppose the map needs to change as well where we are standing. Should we be moving the character icons, or you? I don't feel comfortable moving other people's icon, so I only moved mine to the end of the hall.

Skeleton 1 shot 8 arrows. Hate to see what skeleton #2 can do. Hahaha. I kid, I kid. Also note I have the Deflect Arrows Feat. After shooting, I'll keep my string-pulling hand free.
Thorack moves up 10' in front of Kelian so he's not hit again, as well as avoiding cover penalties. "An arrow shootin contest!" He releases one arrow.
