Skeleton 2 attacks Cat: The spear kicks the wastelands; dodges the efforts of the fortification!

***********************************

Ken manages to dodge the skeleton's attack and deals another hit to it.

 

[Ciaran]

Ken edges toward the stricken Cat. Snatching up her daggers, he lunges forward at the skeleton, hoping to shatter the undead abomination's spine!

At Skeleton: The sneaky dagger nails the orchard; parts the drive of the flame!

Skeleton 2 attacks Cat: The spider sucker punches the waterfall; silences the aggression of the grass!

***********************************

Ken barely manages to avoid the skeleton's sucker punch, but avoid it he does and in one fell attack he finishes off the skeleton.

Cat and Tso-nah manage to get back on their feet.

Each fighter receives 1 and 1/3 hits worth of experience. There are two swords on the bodies for the taking.

 

[Ciaran]

"We won! Yeah!" Panting with effort, Ken joyfully pounds his fellow adventurers on the back. "I wasn't sure we'd make it that time." Gathering up weapons, he hands a sword to Cat, along with returning her daggers. He keeps a sword for himself.

"What we need now is armor," Ken muses. "Well, we might as well see what's behind this door... but if it's any worse than what we just faced, we'd better run. There's still those goblins around here somewhere, and they're more likely to have useful stuff than a bunch of walking corpses."

Cat uses her ninja skills to check the door for traps. If it seems safe, she'll oil the hinges and Ken will carefully open the door a fraction and peek through to see what's on the other side.

Cat checks for traps: The unicorn rains upon the island; guards against the foray of the body!

Possessions: Crystal Swords (+1 to Sword, Diamond, Silver, Ruby)

Tso-Nah listens, trying to sense what might be behind the door:

Listen check: The foot wracks the bluff; silences the aggression of the grass and slides in the midst of the gaze of the horn!

 

[Wicht]

The door is not trapped and there are no sounds from the other side.

 

[Wicht]

Opening the door reveals a small hallway. There are signs of recent construction. There is a door at the end of the hallway and another on the right wall.

 

[Ciaran]

Ken silently leads the party into the hallway. Cat edges over to the door on the right wall, which she checks for traps and puts her ear to.

Cat checks for traps: The wolf storms the badlands; parts the chaos of the bone! *yen*

Cat listens at the door: The whip devastates the clouds; dominates the efforts of the ledge!

(Jeph, is your sig for real about not being able to post?)

 

[Jeph]

It was, this is my second post in like 5 days. Stupid boards! There were like 30 threads about it in meta.

"I say we go to the door at the right first. Just because it's closer. The builders of this place were obviously inteligent, so there must be a reason for putting that door closer."

Tso-Nah pauses.

"Unless that purpose is to lure raiders into it, so that they can be slaughtered by something large and evil."
