Strahd's Goblinoid mini campaign "Yar Gock

"Bah!," shouts Nerrak. "Bad magic! Necromancy!" He continues to flail about with his torch while Dagger mouth tries to take down a skeleton.

Remember that wolves can trip, even if they don't score damage.

Ur'nagi shifts to one side to allow Sumx to see better, and to pass into the room if he so wishes. Unable to get to the skeletons herself, Ur'nagi holds position at the door. She leaves enough room for one of the others to withdraw past her is they so desire. She readies herself to take any opportunity to engage the skeletons. But she does so with no great enthusiasm. "They were once us," she mutters under her breath.

Round 1.

The Skeletons, now standing on their bony legs, reach out to attack with sharp bony claws. Two of them attack Mek, leaving deep scratches on his leather armor.
The one that infront of Nerrak attack Daggermouth but the wolf dodges.

Mek drops his torch to the floor, and draws his dwarven wax axe to bear while moving in to attack the nearest skeleton. He lets out a raspy growl as he swings with conviction. The axe brings down the boney horror to final rest.

"Bah!," shouts Nerrak. "Bad magic! Necromancy!" He continues to flail about with his torch and scores true, the torch burns the skeleton

"Kneel before the mighty servant of Maglubiyet." Shouts Suxm. The three skeletons stare in awe and kneel.
"Quick, grab the red stone and leave!"

Urnagi's eyes widen with shock as the skeletons obey Sumx's barked command. Of course she has heard stories about living skeletons and the power of that the priest's have over them. But she has never seen it before with her own eyes. Unease coils and squirms in her belly. Glad that she is of Sumx's intervention, she much prefers a straight up fight with steel and blood. Magic she doesn't understand.

Red stone?

Ur'nagi glances around the room unsure what Sumx is talking about. Then she spots it, partially covered by the scorched remains of the mould. "That is red stone we have to find?"

Urnagi backs up to give the other three room to exit the room. She could have slipped past the others and grabbed the stone. But something about the who situation doesn't sit right with Urnagi. Who made this tower? Why did they abandon it? What killed the other goblins? Instinct draws her back from the room.

[sblock=ooc]with all the skeletons and mould, I missed the fact that there was some red stone in the room. That would explain the red dot in the centre of the table (@.@)[/sblock]

Mek (Male Bugbear Ranger 1); HP: 11/11; AC 18; Init:13;

Mek steps carefully away from the shattered pile of bones as he picks up his torch.
The bugbear swings the flat edge of his prized war axe to knock the red stone to his goblins in the back so they may pick it up safely.

He rasps out "Careful. Mold."

Nerrak turns Daggermouth and guides the wolf toward the Red Stone that Mek has knocked away. Suxm's power over the undead was impressive, but it would not do to tarry about the living dead. The shaman grabs the stone, and heads back toward the hallway.

Mek drops the stone with a loud bang on the floor, the floor tiles break immediately under the massive pressure. The stone is heavy and Nerrak himself cannot carry it.
The skeletons continue to kneel while Suxm hold the symbol of your God up in the air.
Quick! Me don’t know how much time they will obey

Nerrak frowns. "The stone is too heavy. Mek, we need your strength."

Ur'nagi bounds off her wolf. She slides her spear along the ground back towards the entrance then slips into the room. She throws her fur cloak on the floor beside the stone.

"Roll it onto the cloak."

Assuming that she and Nerrek can achieve that between them, she indicates two corners of the cloak, while she grabs the other two. Hopefully between them they can haul the stone out of the room, and back towards the entrance. Mek and Sumx can cover their withdrawl.

"Let's get this out of the tower. Then we can inspect it."
