The stairs stay hinged at the top near Xir, but the bottom part just behind Abdul comes completely unfastened and the stairs with rail still connected both drop rapidly downward. Elthic swears in dwarven and everyone attempts to jump off the stairs, but as they push off upward, the force of them pushing away flattens out the stairs turning it into a slide. Abdul barely manages to catch his fingers on the rim of what was the floor in the front room, but as everyone slides downward, they run right into him and knock him down with them. But not before the cat climbs up Abduls body and arms and jumps free of the trap and safely into the room above.
The steep slide makes for a quick ride as the party tumbles down to a hard-packed earth floor with a crash. With their weight removed from it, the stairs are quickly pulled back upwards by some unseen mechanism and the steps fold back up and retract out of sight. With a clunk, the stairs reseal and become the ceiling of this now pitch black basement. Abdul and Eleria are suddenly blind without the low level of light which had filtered in through the windows upstairs. You do hear a scrape of something moving towards you though...until suddenly something moves near Eleria and she feels a blade cut into her from the darkness! Xir is also attacked, but seeing the threat he is easily able to dodge it.
You pick yourself up and see that you four are in the southwest corner of a 35'x30' room with stone walls, hard dirt floor, and a door in the north wall near the north-east corner. The door is partly blocked from sight though by a trio of sword weilding skeletons that are quickly advancing towards the party...
Round 1-Order of battle and conditions
-Skeleton 2: attacks and hits blind and flat-footed Eleria for 2 points of damage
-Skeleton 1: attacks Xir, but misses badly
-Xir (AC: 19, HP:12/12) -2 Str, >Used 1/4 CLW potion so far
-Abdul (AC:12, HP:5/5) -2 Dex, >Used 1/4 CLW potion so far
-Eleria (AC: 15, HP: 4/7) -1 Dex, >Used 1/4 CLW potion so far
-Skeleton 3: waiting to take action
-Elthic (AC:15, HP: 9/9)
Xir is up first in initiative (which is hidden in the sblock above until Eleria and Abdul can see). Then Eleria and Abdul are next, followed by Elthic.
