Into the Depths
The little man makes his way 'round the pyramid. It appears to be made entirely of human skulls, fused together in some way. The only break in the grizzly ziggurat is a set of steps up the front - these are made of some sort of animal skull, quite broad with elongated jaws and lots of teeth. Searching through Phases 9 and 12, Skáth finds nothing to indicate the menace on his throne can be turned off.
As he's huddling behind the meager shelter of a column and reloading his crossbow, Gavril feels an intense burning sensation in his back, just under his left shoulderblade. A tongue of flame has found its way past his cover and burned him for 1 BODY, 3 STUN.
Athelstan again steps out of cover, taking advantage of the distraction provided by Gavril. His sling whirls and yet another bullet flies out, this time striking the creature in the shoulder and pulverizing bone. The things movements are losing some of their fluidity now, but it is still active.
OOC: Into Phase 12 now. Skáth is still looking 'round the base of the pyramid at this point. Everyone else will act this phase.

here we go
Béar, seeing that skeletor is looking away from him (at Gavril), makes a dash for the base of the pyramid and will attempt to dodge any oncoming flames.

Cerallos
OOC: I need a some info first Mike
If Cerallos could judge that by diving or whatever means to quickly get to where Skathe is, I'm assuming Bear is on the other side, if Cerallos' staff could reach Skeletor, given he'd be in the line of fire to do so, that's what I'd like him to do. If his staff couldn't reach him, I need to think of something else.
I need to check the map again, but is this pyramid out from the wall meaning can we get behind it?

Into the Depths
OOC:
Any of the characters are within range to simply run up to the top of the pyramid and attack, so any of them could easily reach the base as well. The top is too far away to melee from the base - to attack hand to hand (staff, whatever) will require reaching the top. Skáth is the only one small enough to be at the base and not be seen/attacked. Anyone else moving to the pyramid will be out of cover. The only way to get to the top of the pyramid with sure enough footing to attack is via the 'steps' on the front - the sides are quite steep.

Oh what the H
Cerallos feeling a surge from Bear's intrepid charge, dashes towards the pyramid, hurls a knife at Skeletor and dives to roll to reach the back left corner of the base hoping to be out of the line of fire for a brief moment and to give Bear a solid chance to introduce Skeletor to Thanatos.
3d6-> [2,2,3] = (7)
Cerallos yells out an uncharacteristic "Let's go!"![:]](http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png "Devious :]")

OOC: Just need a 3d6 roll for Gavril (To Hit) with his newly loaded crossbow and I can post Phase 12.

Into the Flames
Béar and Cerallos make a run for the pyramid, Cerallos snapping off a knife shot as he goes. The knife flies true, striking the animated horror on the forehead and snapping the head back. Gavril stops his headlong rush long enough to get off a shot with the heavy crossbow, slamming a bolt into 'Skeletor's' sternum and cracking through it. Deasaigh puts in an uncharacteristic miss, and Athelstan lets his sling stop spinning as he sees the unholy orange light fade from the creature's eyes. The sound of the incessant chanting comes once again into the party's consciousness as the sounds of battle fade.
