[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 9069580, member: 59816"] Ussal assumed that this room was some sort of decorated bathing room. He moved to see if the torch activated another secret door. As he touched the object the blackened skeleton made a gasping noise, opening its mouth, and suddenly the volcano-mosaic on the wall erupted, sending a lava-like substance spraying into the room. The ground shook, and the others (who had stayed out of the room to observe) watched in horror as Ussal burst into flames from the barest touch of the lava spray. The flames quickly died down, but there was nothing remaining of Ussal but a pile of ash on the floor. [spoiler="Ussal Only"][OOC] Ussal takes 22 fire damage (11 if you make a dc20 DEX save). Spells won't help, as the room has an undetectable anti-magic field, I'm afraid.
