Redbadge's Crypt of the Everflame (IC)

[BudroThePious]

Joseph advances into the middle of the room to give Lissa better light to search the backpack's with. "It looks like there are two exits from here."

 

[Isklexi]

"I'll check the room more carefully," Snaggle carefully combs the room for clues as to what happened.

OOC: Take a 10 on the search for a total of 12

Before you have a chance to make it very far, or begin searching the bodies or bags, you hear low moans begin to emanate from the skeletons, starting softly, then growing louder. Six of the eight piles of bones suddenly stir, rising up to take on a human shapes. Their long, bony fingers reach out to claw at the living with one hand, and the other brandishes a wicked looking scimitar.

GM: Skeletons 2, 3, 5, and 6 all wear chain shirts. 1 and 4 do not. All skeletons except 4 wield scimitars. Your light spell, combined with the faint light entering from outside, provides the entire map with normal light. The dead bodies and defeated skeletons do not hinder movement. The pillars provide cover against creatures on the opposite side of them, or partial cover against creatures otherwise adjacent to both you and the pillar. The platforms are 3 feet high, requiring a hop up action, unless you use the stairs (no movement penalty). An attacking creature gets a +1 bonus to attack rolls against opponents on lower ground (for example, attacking someone on the floor or on the stairs from the platform, or attacking from the stairs to the floor). With that said, roll initiative!

The skeletons converge on you quickly, surrounding your small group as you suddenly find yourselves defending each other back-to-back. Though you are able to ward off the clumsy rising and falling of the fragile scimitars, a stray skeleton claw rakes across Lissa's outstretched arm. As the halfling cries out in pain, her lion roars a challenge to the skeletons.
