A Paid Trip to Spellhold [D&D 4e]

[Voda Vosa]

Round 2

Taran rends the bones from the skeleton with a mighty claw attack.

Cliff mises his mark, but challenges all the skeletons around him, which seem unable to do other thing but attack him!

Round 3

Chizz strikes hard at the skeleton before him with a twin strike of his weapons. Lochlan is not so lucky and his bola fly over the skeleton.

The skeletons disengage their targets and recklessly move to focus on Cliff. Taran and Asterion sieze the chance to lay a blow on the fleeting skeleton, but Kaedyn misses his mark.
The skeletons crowd around Cliff and hack at the paladin with their scimitars. He's able to shrug off the necrotic damage, but the rusty swords still cut his flesh severely.

The blazing skeleton in front of Chizz hits the half orc in the face with his burning claw. The fire catches up again over the pirate.
The other flaming dead hurl fireballs at the remaining heroes again; two of them hit Kaedyn and the foul fire quickly spreads. Other hits Cliff, burning his fur.
Asterion calls forth to one of his runes, healing Kaedyn and protecting the rest of the brave heroes. He then swings Boulder's hammer and Almost destroys the already heavily damaged skeleton. This seems to give Cliff some relief.

Asterion will be NPC by yours truly, since DF will be away.

[On Puget Sound]

Chizz ducks under the burning undead's guard and slices through the magical knots of fire that bind its bones together. As it reels from the blow he tries to follow up with his other blade. The creature evades the second strike, but Chizz smiles; the move has put it a bit closer to the edge of the bridge, and also given the half orc a moment to put out the flames on his arm.

[perrinmiller]

Surprised that the skeleton was still on its feet after his last blow and then it survived yet another from Cliff, Kaedyn swings backhanded with his broadsword as he shifts around the other one to flank it. Hitting it again, the blow isn't devastating, but he hopes the skeleton will finally crumble.

"Go down already, bony! Don't think I have forgotten you yet either."

His last words directed at the Burning Skeleton still behind him that he has yet to engage, while waiting for the other to fall.

Round 3

Asterion hacks at the skeleton in front of him, cracking several bones with his hammer

Taran tricks the skeleton's mind somehow. The creature moves to the edge of the bridge and walks into the air. It falls silently, making a Puff of steam as it's flaming body hits the salty water.

Cliff shifts into a savage beast and recklessly smashes the skeleton in front of him. The skeleton barely stands.

Round 4

Chizz assaults the burning undead, pushing it near the bridge.

Kaedyn waits for Lochlan to throw a volley of shots, finishing two of the skeletons in a puff of black necrotic energy. The first skeleton to explode affects Asterion, who reels back by the corruption. The second one catches Taran and Cliff. The shifter is able to shake off the worst of it.

Kaedyn then, manoeuvrings next to one of the remaining skeletons, hacks it hard, sending it to the edge of the bridge.

The skeletons crowd around Cliff again, but the paladin deflects their clumsy blows.

The blazing skeletons throw their orbs ineffectively against the heroes, while the one engaged in melee with Chizz, gives the half orc a good jab, and moves away.
