Initiatives: Ashrem 21, Skeletons 17, Quendros 16, Farah 13, Moon 12, Khaira 10, Lamont 2
The last three skeletons push out of the room, clawing in all directions. Quendros wards off their blows, but Khaira is hit by two of them (5 damage). Quendros steps back from the fight and cures the wounded bard (5 healed).
The battle rages furiously. Farah strikes with her quarterstaff, rattling the bones of one foe (2 damage). Lamont downs a third skeleton with his mighty flail (14 damage). Ashrem knocks down the one wounded by Farah (5 damage), but the remaining skeleton claws her fiercely (4 damage). Before it can strike again it is brought down by attacks on all sides.
The party is victorious again, although Farah bears a painful wound. A quick glance in the shrine room reveals that the sarcophagi stand open and empty. The fountain on the east side of the room and the passage to the north remain.
