From Citadel to Bastion: The Sunless Citadel

[Ashrem Bayle]

Ashrem stepped out of the doorway to let the others through. He continued to watch the room as they past.

"This place makes me uncomfortable", he said to no one in particular.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

As Moon grabs the objects on the shrine, the sarcophagi begin moving. Several skeletal figures emerge as the halfling exits the room.

Perhaps Corellon is testing his cleric, as Quendros' final turning attempt of the day fails to have any effect on the five skeletons moving towards the party.

Quendros attacks the nearest skeleton with his longsword.

"By Corellon's blade," shouted Quendros, "I will send you back to the darkness myself!!"

 

[Vargo]

Khaira rolls her eyes. "Skeletons again? Zombies, I could handle, but skeletons? Okay, everybody, out the door and let them come to us through the bottleneck."

She sighs, pulls out her rapier, and provides assistance to Lamont as before.

 

[Ashrem Bayle]

Already near the doorway, Ashrem turned to see the skeletons as they emerged.

"Wonderful...", was all he said before taking up a defensive position just outside the door.

OOC: Ash readies an action to stab at any skeletons who near the door.

 

[StalkingBlue]

"Not again! - Farah, do you want that whistle? If it's the same kind of magic, maybe it helps against them?"

Moon draws his dagger with his free hand and steps to the other side of the door from Ashrem, trying to flank any skeleton that emerges from the room. He will fight defensively as before; if Farah wants the whistle, he will hand it to her first.

And there I was disliking the idea of encountering rats ....

 

[GruTheWanderer]

Initiatives: Ashrem 21, Skeletons 17, Quendros 16, Farah 13, Moon 12, Khaira 10, Lamont 2

Although his spear is unsuited for the task, Ashrem bludgeons the leading skeleton as it exits the shrine room (critical threat, 4 damage). He takes a second swing as it moves past him, to no avail. A second skeleton emerges, and a third attacks him from the doorway (1 damage).

The other two skeletons attack Moon before he can get his defenses up, but still they are too slow to catch the halfling. His dagger whirls out and around, but does not catch any bones this time.

Quendros and Farah attack from their positions near Ashrem, also missing.

Khaira's rapier does little to distract the lead skeleton, but Lamont finishes it with a mighty swing (14 damage).

Second round coming up. Actions, please.

 

[garyh]

Quendros again attacks the nearest skeleton.

 

[StalkingBlue]

Moon attacks again, taking a single step to build a flanking position if possible/necessary.

 

[Ashrem Bayle]

Ashrem, quiet determined, swiped again at the skeleton he just injured.
