Wind takes one of the remaining bloodstones and attaches it to his sword.
"Well, Havelock, what is it?" Verys asks the wizard. "With a bloodstone attached to it, it has to be magic of some sort."
Verys:
Havelock:
NaDarr:
Richard:
Wind:
"Well, Havelock, is the ring magical? Or can you tell anything about its history?" Verys says as he grabs 10 of the the gold coins. He looks at the others. "Ten each is a fair split. Help yourself."
Ice Queen- did we lose the invoker? he hasn't posted, and we are acting like he isn't there. I just want to know how many of the coins I am going to grab. If he isn't going to play with us, I grab my 10 gold. [/ooc]

Havelock and the skull begin to converse. "Well, it's magic." "Definitely. Can't tell what it does." "Me neither. Still, it's probably powerful. You don't just put any enchantment on a ring." "It's old too. Probably ancient Darguun." "Yes, just like everything else in this place."
He then turns to Verys. "It's certainly magic. Feel free to put it on if you're feeling risky."
Richard reaches into the sack of the remaining gold, takes 10 for himself and distributes 10 each to the remaining party members.
"Darguun, hmm? Well, let's see what it can do." Verys holds the ring out as he begins to slip it on his finger. "If I go crazy and start attacking you, please cut the finger with the ring off first before you stab me in the heart." He says, deadpanned.
Verys only:
When nothing bad happens when he puts on the ring, Verys looks at his companions and asks,
"So, what's our next move? We can't leave the way Wind and I came in."
He begins to stow his gear. He looks at the ring every once in a while and smiles. He puts his hand on his sword as it briefly glows. Then he touches his bow and it does the same. "Interesting." Verys thinks to himself.
"So.....what's our next move?" Verys asks a little louder, thinking his companions just didn't hear him. "Thranes, mumble grumble" He thinks to himself.
"So.....what's our next move?" Verys asks a little louder, thinking his companions just didn't hear him. "Thranes, mumble grumble" He thinks to himself.
"Move on to the next set of rooms, obviously. After all, we won't do anything other than starve by staying in here."
As the others mention moving into the next set of rooms Wind slowly moves into the room that was sealed behind the now open double doors.
"I'll begin scouting ahead."
"Don't go too far. If there is more traps, you will need our help." Verys moves to follow him at a short distance.
Verys only:
"Hold Up, Wind." Verys looks to the left side. "There's something here. I think it is a secret door."
Perception Check, 1d20+1=11, Initiative, 1d20+3=9
Richard will stay towards the front behind Wind
Richard reaches into the sack of the remaining gold, takes 10 for himself and distributes 10 each to the remaining party members.
NaDarr juggles the three stones from item to item, finally settling on the Lantern Symbol and noticing he might be holding an extra stone. "Havelock, Neryss? I seem to have collected more souvenirs than intended. Whose is this?"
NaDarr falls in line between Richard and the archer.
"On second thought, not so close." Remembering his heritage and a fondness for long straight lines, NaDarr lets Richard and wind be a healthy 3 squares ahead. "An alternate route Verys?"
"Looks like, if I can figure out this door."
Verys looks at the secret door, smiles to himself, and starts to fiddle with the mechanism. "What did these guys do before I got here?" He asks himself under his breath. CLICK!
Verys looks up at the others, "It would seem I am getting better at disabling traps as we go along." And then he opens the door and looks inside.

Verys looks up at the others, "It would seem I am getting better at disabling traps as we go along." And then he opens the door and looks inside.
As Verys unlocks the door he's found the very audible click is echoed down the corridor as three identical secret doors to the one he has found open further down the corridor and as Verys finds out for himself there are a pair of skeletons lurking behind each door!
The 3rd pair of skeletons step out of the secret door they were standing behind and turn to glare down at you as you stare back from the double doors beside you.
Havelock, surprised by the sudden appearance of several skeletons, attempts to burn the second group.

Unfortunately the spell fails to hit them as the group at the end starts moving forward towards you, but one steps out of the door Verys has just opened and the pair cut loose on the ranger.
Verys calls back to his companions, "A little help, please?" Then he shifts and shoots one of the skeletons in front of him.
Verys then moves back to behind Richard telling his companions, "I don't do melee. Engage these foes and I will pick them off, one by one, from back here."

Verys's arrow shatters on the skeleton noticeably splintering a rib bone inside the armour its wearing.
Wind rushes up to the nearest skeleton swearing an Oath to destroy before bringing his sword down upon it. As he completes his weapon's arc he remains crouched his legs springing ready to leap at the slightest sign of retreat by his foe.

Wind calls upon his faith as he closes on the nearest skeleton evading the clutches of its partner as his blow strikes true.
The second band of skeletons move forward leaving Wind open to an attack by the nearest skeleton.
Fortunately for Wind the Skeleton misses.
Cleave, 1d20+8=16 vs Sk AC, damage, 1d10+5=8
Richard closes in and steps alongside Wind however his blow fails to catch either of the skeletons.
NaDarr steps into the space behind Wynd. He lifts the amulet with its three rubies and unleashes the power of his faith.

NaDarr fails to repel Wind's attacker but he does send the other two skeletons back even as a third group of skeletons moves ever closer.
Havelock once again attempts to burn the advancing skeletons, but they emerge unharmed.
Following Havelock's spellcasting the last band of skeletons advance past the third band, but fortunately the 1st band are still immobilised by NaDarr's efforts.
Before Verys's action in the 2nd round
Verys says, "Wind, over your left shoulder." and lets loose with his arrow.

Verys arrow nips past the shifter and strikes his opponent directly.
Wind holds up his holy symbol and blasts the skeleton still in the secret passageway with holy power.
