Underneath the Undeath [DM: Voda Vosa; Judge: ?]

Boris enters the room, looks around with disappointment and walks back out. He takes the other exit out of the last room, heading east. "This choosing rooms is an exciting task" he states flatly.

OOC:

So South is not an option. Going back is the only option. SO we go back and go east.

Kurnos silently follows the rest of the group back to the north and then east.

Oh boy... Encounter type: 6: Hard

....Loading battle....

Our heroes daringly enter the room to the east, already expecting to be nothing there. But the corpses that litter the floor of this room rattle and move as the sense the living close by. A horde of skeletons rise from their last resting place, the bare ground. Brandishing picks and other mining tools, they look ready to attack!

Roll initiatives!

Monsters initiative: 22 If you roll above that, go! If not, wait.

Please, whoever put the total damage on the enemies as a whole number, remember I want you to add it like in a formula (=X1+X2+X3) Otherwise I can't track individual damage.

There is your favourite combustible ore! Watch out! Any fire or energy attack that misses can light up one of these piles!

OOC:

Kurnos Initiative = 1d20+4=13. Waiting for monsters to go first.

Kurnos is shocked into stillness by the number of foes advancing on them from this room. Hopefully his slowness does not cost anyone their lives.

OOC:

Without the ENWorld dice roller I can only use IC, and IC won't let me log in or send me a new password. In any case I think it is clear that I am not cheating: Initiative 4

Almost lazily, Boris stifles a yawn and takes a few fleet steps forward muttering something about 'unsightly bones', however his movements are sluggish and seemingly slow to react.

Despite having encountered undead in every previous room, Ilse is somehow surprised when more skeletons emerge from the ground.

OOC:

Init 18. (1d20=18)

WEContact · Dec 29, 2012

OOC:

What is with these ridiculous initiative numbers? Why do the monsters all have really really high initiative? Also DANG that is a lot of skeletons.

Chambers eyebrows rise slightly at the unprecedented number of undead in this particular cavern. He sighs, and springs forward over the rubble to start thinning the ranks. A flicked dagger lands in the dirt between two of the nearest skeletons. The ground peels back like an eyelid, and moonlight streams up from the gap- nothing remains of the undead caught in that light.

Meanwhile, Logan has thrown another dagger toward the back of the cave. Unlike his other throws, this one arcs high in the air, spinning lazily. It begins to whine loudly as it falls, and then disappears ten feet from the ground in a flash of pale green light. With this ethereal light come a swarm of tiny fey bats, filling the air around the skeletons and driving them back with the combined force of their stinging bites.

"Still better than that troll" Zaroch reassures himself out loud.

The skeletons reel from Logan's attack, but their counterstrike is deadly. The feeble looking skeletons throw rocks at the heroes, but only a few connect to Boris's helmet and another one to the ranger's forearm. The sturdier looking miners charge both at Logan, delivering devastating blows with their picks. Logan is left barely standing. He amanges to duck, as huge rocks fly from the back of the skeleton horde, but they are aiming to the more vulnerable party members. Ilse manages to remain consious after the deadly rocks fall over her. Alek is not so lucky, and is quickly struck down by a massive ore boulder that hits him in the head. Everything goes dark for the young sorcerer.
The blazing skeleton aims at Boris, unleashing an orb of flames that hits him squarely, setting his clothes alight!
The situation looks grim for our heroes!
