Seems like we found the most hospitable location on this coast!’Roderik: smiling ‘No fire and dried meat for at least a day.’  Tolmien: ‘That knight was really creepy. He wore a bone white skeletal mask.’NIGHT 5:The group is barricaded inside the ruins for the night and sleeping soundly. The three window openings and the door are barred with tree branches trellised by Elistor. No one is on watch.   [suddenly, surprise] the door explodes inwards as two skeletons enter the house (4hp), (8hp). Attacking Jarl and Roderik. Both hit with their long swords. Roderik and Tolmien are the fastest to react. Elistor, Ivar and Uld act after the skeletons. Jarl falls to the ground grievously injured.The two skeletons are dispatched quickly but another two skeletons enter the house! (4hp), (12hp). After three more rounds they are destroyed. Roderik lost 8hp, Tolmien 3hp, Elistor 2hp, Jarl 4hp and Uld 1hp. Elistor uses First Aid cantrips on everyone except himself. He then uses Goodberry (+6hp) on Roderik.  The heroes put their defences back in place and decide to keep watch for the rest of the night.  Roderik: ‘That was a mistake we won’t do again!’  Elistor: ‘Zombies and skeletons don’t roam the land by themselves. We need to find who is behind these attacks. Tolmien: ‘I hope it’s not the creepy knight with the dragon!’_________________________________DAY 6: Elistor prepares a fresh batch of Goodberries (5). Roderik [deerstalker] is able to track the footprints of the skeletons back to a [small] [stone] structure.   It is a [zigurat] with an [entrance] [open]. It is located [1] hour West of their current location, near the river. Tolmien inspects [17] the entrance to determine if it is trapped [no]. Advancing slowly inside he discovers the stone slab that used to block the entrance. It lies broken in pieces on the floor.Tolmien: ‘Someone used pry bars to force it open. The entrance was open not long ago, from what I can tell.’  Roderik [deerstalker 15] looking at the area: ‘They were three, at least.’  Confident the crewmen can handle the camp the three heroes decide to enter the ziggurat.</blockquote>
