"Phew, well I'm glad that's all sorted out. So shall I keep moving ahead?" Tamarand asks, moving next to Rohna, then moving forward without waiting for an answer. The drow arm grazes the edge of a cubby, where Mitra was, knocking a bone onto the floor with a loud thud.
Roswyn still looks at the crypt nervously.
"Um, when we pass through there, I'd rather not be all alone at the back..."
Shava slows so she's in step with Roswyn, before following. Wincing at Tamarand's attempt at stealth.
"Better?"
Rohna moves up, to 10ft shy of the first cubbies and calls Mitra back to her with another wave of her unhelmeted head back to her side.
The onyx stone beads in her cornrowed red hair softly clink against her armor for a few seconds afterward, while the crimson and yellow flames stream endlessly up from the sillouette of her now well used warhammer without any smoke. The goliath watches again in obvious amusement as Tamarand goes loping down the hall in the mock sneaky way he seems to like to do. After a few moments though she stops watching their brave little "scout/test hobbit" and focuses on listening and watching for anything else that be moving in this bunkhouse for the long and not so long dead.
Tamarand steps out into the cross passage and rays of flame, as big around as a human wrist erupt from near the ceiling and angle down towards the drow. The drow twists and one just scorches his shoulder, the other though takes him full in the side, burning a hole in his armor and blistering the flesh beneath.

Further down the passage way a hobgoblin corpse rolls off the shelf to it's feet. It's flesh is blue-grey and ice crystals cling in it's hair. A chill mist surrounds it and it locks eyes with the drow. Behind the drow, a skeleton steps off, blocking the route to the drow. It also looks goblinoid, but it has four arms, each holding a deadly scimitar. The sound of another corpse hitting the floor comes from the one of the side passages.
[sblock=R1]The ceiling in the side passages are 10' high. 30' down on each side a flaming skull hovers near the ceiling, this is where the rays of fire came from. Furthermore on the right side passage a mummy has appeared.[/sblock]
Fiery rays erupt towards the drow again. This time the drow is able to dodge one, but the other burns another hole into his flesh, this one more painful than the last.
[sblock=ooc]1 miss, 1 hit for 17.
2 more fiery rays vs Tamarand ref (1d20+12=15, 2d6+6=15, 1d20+12=27, 2d6+6=17)[/sblock]
On the brink of unconsciousness the drow looks on in horror as his cockiness comes back to bite him. The hobgoblin zombie charges forward and swings a meaty fist at the drow. The creature is still unstable on it's legs and the swing doesn't come close. The drow can clearly feel the unnatural chill of the undead, he knows he is about to get real cold.

Z vs Tamarand AC (1d20+11=12, 1d6+4=10)Got lucky on this one. Tamarand will take 5 cold damage at the start of his next turn from the aura.[/sblock]
Not to be thwarted a bandage wrapped hand reaches around the corner from the others, slamming the drow in the ribs. The sorcerer collapses in a heap, lying awkwardly with he leg bent beneath him.

M vs Tamarand (1d20+11=26, 2d8+3=9)you contract mummy rot.Those within 5 sq of M take a -2 to attack rolls against M. Sorry R1.

Seeing the drow go down, the four armed skeleton turns it's attention to Rohna. The creature steps forward, it's blades a wall of steel as it slashes at the goliath. The first two strikes are deflected by the goliath's sheild and warhammer. There is just too many blades though, and the final two carve into her shoulders.
