Redbadge's Crypt of the Everflame (IC)

[BudroThePious]

Joseph plants his feet and swings with all of his considerable strength. He hits the skeleton in front of him clean, knocking it's head off and sending it flying across the room, over Lissa's head, and off the far wall, where it shatters and rattles in the corner. Joseph looks down at the bloody lion, sighs, and trudges over to the last remaining enemy.[sblock=Actions]Standard Action: Attack Skeleton 3.

The final skeleton maintains its assault on the kobold, clawing with futility at the protective bubble.

[Courage]

The sound of Gamble's bardic performance softens, moving into a gentle melody. He still sits over Nyra, trying to help her. "Come on, little kitty, time to wake up." The great cat's remaining wounds glow, and the animal kicks awake, lifting her head and obviously startled to see the two-legged lizard creature standing over her in a defensive posture. Gamble smiles, looks to Lissa, and winks.

Joseph steps up behind the last skeleton as it continues to harass the kobold. With one solid blow he catches the skeleton across the rib cage and sends it flying off the stairs and rattling into a jumbled pile of debris.

Entry Hall, Crypt of the Everflame, Serpent Gorge, 40 Miles South of Kassen, Southern Fangwood, Nirmathas

With Joseph's final mighty swing, the last skeleton lies shattered on the stone floor. Bones and blood litter the floor of the chamber, and as you stand catching your breath, Kassen leers down on your group, perhaps approvingly. With the sounds of combat ceased and Gamble's whistling finished, the only sound you hear now is the continued distant wail from before, coming faintly through the southeast door.

[sblock=Rewards]+800 XP[/sblock]

 

[BudroThePious]

"I have an idea. Why don't we do this: Snaggle can go check out that wailing coming from farther in while his armor spell is still up. If he finds trouble he could run back to us and maybe drop one of those traps he does along the way. Lissa could make sure Nyra is OK, and I could help Gamble thoroughly search this chamber while we wait for Snaggle to get back from exploring. What do you think?" Jospeh says as he retrieves his sword. "And Gamble, could you light this morningstar instead?"

 

[Courage]

"I've done what I can for Nyra, Lissa," says Gamble to the halfling before heading over and recasting light on Joseph's morningstar. "Joseph, you can check those backpacks. I'm going to check out these people to make sure they aren't some of ours." Gamble heads over to the corpses.
