RJK'S Cairn of the Skeleton King
- Thread starter Le Noir Faineant
- Start date
Zanax stops short as the undead emerge en force to confront the party.
"Defenseive formation" Zanax yells. "Protect the clerics."
He looks quickly among the approaching horde for ranged weapons. If he finds none he will use a move action to change into an eagle and a second move action to take flight and hover above the party, but not directly above any character.
Moja quickly falls in line next to the fighters trying to make an arc which the clerics and mage can stand behind. He will stand defensively until an opportunity to attack presents itself.

Action change: I use Dark Knowledge (Foe), the ready an action to use my 5-foot-step and my acid splatter if any of them get into range to do that (25ft)
"Aim for the sinews! They are softer than bone and the eaiest way break skeletons into pieces"
[sblock] Knowledge (Religion) = +16. If the result is >= 15, I and my allies gain +1d6 on all weapon attacks (including spells tahst require attack rolls, since they count as weapons) against one type of undead (other checks yield other types) for one minute. If the result is >= 25, they get +2d6, and if the result is >= 35, they get +3d6
Acid Splatter deals 4d6dmg on a sucessful +6 ranged touch attack (or +8 if you think I would still have blessed aim cast from the last fight), plus the Foe bonus. Since it is from a feat, it is a supernatural ability that draws on prepared spalls rather than a spell per se, so Bane Magic probably does not come into play, though you obviously may rule otherwise[/sblock]

You see how the waves of divine magic envelop around the skeletons from the fog...
And are pushed away!
Blue flames sparkle around the hands of the spellcasters among you, but you seem to cause no damage or rebuking among the undead warriors...
One of the skeletons steps out of the phalanx, and lays down it's sword and shield.
You can see that the living dead is holding somethin in his bonefingered hand:
A piece of dirty old cloth, barely recognizeable as a banner.
The skeleton's skullhead moves towards Titus, and the jaws open and close, as if forming words...

Maigreth looks on with an expression of scolarly fascination, as she prepares to unleash a Wall of Fire against the main force of the undead should they appear to attack. (ooc: hit as many as possible and block their route to the party without affecting any of her companions.
Leaning forwards she attempts to read the lips of the undead.
ooc:
Int: 20
Decipher Script (Int):........15 (10+5)
Knowledge Arcana (Int):.......15 (10+5)
Knowledge History (Int):......15 (10+5)
Knowledge Dungeoneering (Int):15 (10+5)

Heh, new action change again. I will also see what i know bout that cloth.
[sblock] (OOC: I sitll need to finish my spellbook, though I am starting to think taht I may just be beter off, if you Ivid are OK with it, switching to some other kind of character (one without a spell memorization mechanic, thus that I have time to make and upkeep) since its becoming increasingly clear that Clara and Maigreth will turn out to be extremely redundant.)[/sblock]

With the mearest of whispers, a dawny glow envelops the upheld hammer and travels downward completely encasing Titus in a two inch shell of SUNLIGHT. Then he steps forward, unafraid and takes the tattered cloth fragment from the skeletal messenger with his free hand. Tossing the banner back to the rest of the party he locks the skeleton's gaze with his own. "Your ... master is not welcome here. Consider this his invitation to leave my world. I shall set all your souls at rest soon. So you won't have to despair for much longer my poor fallen brethren."
[sblock=OOC]cast: Nimbus of Light (see RG). So apperently they have more than 3 HD each, since they didn't explode? Knowledge Religion check +4 to sense if these have some sort turn resistance?[/sblock]

Right now, in the middle of this alien scenario, you find yourself way too upset to calculate anything... You are just sure that the undead have not come to kill you, for they would already done so if they wanted.

[The skeltons have no lips, just blank jaw bones that move up and down... I doubt that it will be possible to read from them.]

You recall to have seen this sign once - long ago, but right now cannot tell when... Strangely, the absurd it might be in this unreal and threatening atmosphere, you are reminded of your childhood days...
DM_Matt said:
[I am alright with that.]

In the very moment that Titus raises his hand to perform a sign to unleash a spell that would free at least some of the undead warriors from their eternal service, the skeleton captain's hand shoots forward and the cold fingers break through the cleric's armour, stinging into his flesh, producing a pain like Titus has never felt before.
Sweating all over his body, Titus goes down on one knee, the undead towering over him...
But the skeleton warrior doesn't strike.
Instead, he steps back into the fog, and his servants follow...
You can still see them there, though, their burning eyes wlurking only few meters away in the darkness...
