Spot Check is (11-1=10) for Merrim, who is riding along blissfully staring at the architecture and layout of yet another new human city that she has arrived at.

OOC: Victus has spent too much time with the gnomes, they are rubbing off on him!

A heartbeat after Fendric calls out, Victus' ears pull out the sound of quick footsteps, coming from behind -- glancing back over his shoulder, he sees one of the hooded figures from the line running toward the group, feet barely touching the ground, with a sickle in one hand, gleaming in the night.
Behind, other figures follow, not quite keeping up. The horsemen turns their faces in your direction, but make no immediate response...
By the time Victus can react, the figure is about sixty feet away. Roll initiatives.

(After leaving my d20 with the 20 side up, I make a roll, and it Is 18. 18+7=25. For now, I'll assume I have first Init.)
Aerda stops the horse and turns to what victus points out. He narrows his eyes, and closes his eyes, holding both hands out infront of him. He starts speaking words of old draconic, in a low voice of power. Long thin fingers paw at the air in complex patterns, gathering a shrill energy to them, forming it into a sphere. He holds the sphere out and opens his eyes. With one hand behind the sphere and another one under it, he pushes it forward at the lead skeleton, the white light it shed leaving aerda's fine features and racing towards the running creature. Concussive disturbance in the air are its wake, and Aerda looks at the others.
(Ranged touch attack, rolled 11 + 4 = 15)
Edit: I forgot that it was range, close, so I will ready that for the first person who comes within 30ft.

[Arggh! You ask me to roll initiative, and my dice - and books - are packed! Ah, well, I guess it's time for the online dice roller and SRD... and I can still print my sheet.]
Initiative: 11.
As Fendric leans forward in his saddle to hear a response from the men of Heironeous, he catches (from the corner of his eye) the hooded figure with the sickle running toward them. Almost immediately after, he notices Aerda's spell go off (Spellcraft: 3 +3 = 6), but he does not recognize what it is - likely because he's never seen Aerda cast it before, and he has no other arcane reference.
Fendric also notices the other figures shambling behind the sickle. Suspecting them to be like the guards in the previous city, Fendric presents his holy symbol and quickly incants a spell he has been saving for just this occasion: Oh, Radiant Light, reveal to me the foul taint of Undeath...
Fendric casts Detect Undead, which will reveal to him any undead auras within 60 ft., which should include the man with the sickle this round, and the others the next (provided Fendric succeeds at his Concentration check).

(wings - From the first post, "PHB only for character creation," probably should have mentioned spell selection in there... One of the main reasons: I don't have every rulebook, and that includes Tome & Blood... Aside from those concerns, though, I am open to non-core stuff (especially with such nifty descriptions ), including homebrew material, so long as I can give it a looksee to actually know what it does in the OOC thread.)
Aerda's orb manages to find its target -- the hooded figure whirls with the impact, but continues running unabated. He slashes his sickle at Victus' thigh (16 to hit, 6 points damage), putting the full force of his body into the blow.
Two horsemen approach behind the six cloaked figures that are attempting to follow: One charges past, drawing a crossbow. The other moves nearer, then stops to hold out his hand, and the figures stop in their tracks, about 100 feet away from you. The charging horsemen comes within about fifty feet of you, steadying his aim...
As the others react, Fendric casts his spell, discovering no undead auras within the spell's radius. (Which includes the attacker, and the rider.)
(Just wanted to resolve the actions I have on hand before tomorrow... You can still post your actions for the current round, "as this happens," so to speak -- I like to keep the feel of actions occurring simultaneously, so I don't worry too greatly about initiative order unless there's a risk of short-changing you guys. Victus, the attacker's initiative was 21, if you're wondering whether or not you're flat-footed.)

"What the?" yells Merrim.
OOC: Initiative is a 6
Merrim lobs a magic missle (1d4+1) at the same target that received Aerda's spell.
