"Hey! What was that for?!?" Ithiken yells into the darkness where the arrow shot from. "Listen up!!! We've already killed the three gnolls who attacked us with no provocation! You'd better just stand down before we kill you too!"
As he says this, he sees the dwarf go rushing past him into the room. Knowing that Kobryn will go hog wild once again in a combat fury, the elf sighs. "Too late! You pissed off the dwarf! I wish you people down here would ask questions first, shoot later... it'd save us a whole lot of time having to defend ourselves against you continuously."
(OOC: Ithiken holds his action until he sees what the unknown assailant and Kobryn do to each other. If combat is joined, he will use his wand of magic missile as needed.)

Round 1 – The dead and the living of the dark god
A light appears suddenly in the far corner of the room, it seems someone lit a lantern. Then a shout in the common tongue "destroy the trespassers, leave none alive, this are the commands of the dark god".
Korbryn, alerted by the sound of the arrow thudding into the wooden door, rushes past his companions and into the room beyond. He readies his blade to attack whatever foe is responsible for unleashing the missile.
The large room is supported by 5 massive pillars and is mostly empty. In fact, it appears to have been swept clean, some strange items lie on a white blanket spread out on the floor. The lantern rest on the floor, a single door on the south wall stands open, from out there, the skeletons of six humans and a single massive ogre burst out, the human skeletons wear tattered leather armors and hold scimitars, from behind the pillar peeks a black caped Gnoll aiming a bow toward the door, another one is stationed behind the central pillar, ready his bow to those who venture into the room, near the blanket stands a female cleric of the dark god, madness in her eyes she calls the skeletons to destroy you.
The Kid makes a dash for his thrown daggers down the hall real quick, calling behind him, "What's down there?" and then a sees the bony horror, reacting quickly Thandis throws a dagger to the human skeleton, but the shot is wide and bounce off the door post to the floor.

I wish you people down here would ask questions first, shoot later... it'd save us a whole lot of time having to defend ourselves against you continuously." Drawing his wand, Ithinken points to the skeleton and two missiles of blue force strike the skeleton, causing the bones to break apart and fall on the floor.
Following his dwarven friend, Miltiades rushes into the room, glancing at the foul undead he takes out the peacekeeper symbol and holds it the air. "Flee from the light of the calm god, flee to the darkness of your existence"
The large ogre skeleton moves to Miltiades and blocks the exit, raising a rusted sword he lands it on the priest's armor.
Stay! Shouts the female in craziness to the fleeing skeletons. Stay and satisfy your god by killing the mortals! She raise the black iron triangle symbol to oppose the effect of Rao's positive power.
Armored with rusted scimitars, the skeletons, affected by the power of the dark god, turn to face Miltiades and Korbryn, some even tumble through the door to face Thandis and Ithiken. The only affective attack was made against Ithiken where the scimitar penetrated the magical protective force.
Dropping bows to the ground and drawing battleaxes instead, the black caped Gnolls takes position to engage the stout dwarf. One axe bounce from the armor, but the other penetrates hard.
Pulling the Unconscious heavy Gnoll behind him, Lenuran peeks from the door. "what's goin.. Oh, no!"

Korbryn, knowing that the group will be in dire straits unless the enemy cleric can be dealt with, engages the gnolls. His plan is simple...chop through the opposition, and strike down the foul priestess of the dark gods!
Shrugging off the gnolls blow with a low grunt, he aims a strike of his heavy blade at his opponent.
Attack +10 (2d6+9), Cleave the second gnoll if he drops the first
AC21, HP30/42

"Now what is going on her-- OWWWW!!!" Ithiken yelps in pain as the skeleton cuts his arm with the rusted scimitar. "Ahhhh... you lousy..." The sorcerer immediately brings up his wand and fires a pair of missiles at it, hopefully destroying the bone creature. (Cast Magic Missile from wand at AH9: 2d4+2)

The Kid curses again, seeing the undead in front of him. He was a scout, not a undead killer. He needed to engage an enemy he could hurt; he was useless against skeletons. "Wish me luck," he whispers to the elf, "I'd recommend you back blow these things up or something." Clutching his daggers in front of him, with an acrobatic flourish, he tries to dive over, under, and through the skeleton menace!
AC 20 from Two-Weapon defense. Tumble (hopefully) through AH8 and AG8 (squares occupied by creatures), keep on tumbling to AG10 (out of the ogres range), and then use the rest of his movement to get to AE11 (behind the pillar).

Round 2
Shrugging off the gnolls blow with a low grunt, Korbryn aims a strike of his heavy blade at the Gnoll. With a mixed howl scream the gnoll grasp his torso and falls dead, the blade continues his arch and strikes the pillar.
"Wish me luck" Thandis whispers to Ithiken, "I'd recommend you back blow these things up or something." Clutching his daggers in front of him, with an acrobatic flourish, he tries to dive over, under, and through the skeleton menace! But the bony horror seems to anticipate your movement and blocks the way.
"Ahhhh... you lousy..." The sorcerer immediately brings up his wand and fires a pair of missiles at it, hopefully destroying the bone creature. The magical missiles strike the skeleton and dust him to the ground.
Raising Rao's holy symbol again, Miltiades calls with firm voice.
I said begone! Begone to your dark holes!
Turning to the strong light that beckons from the peacekeeper's holy medallion, the Skeletal Ogre turns on heel to flee the divine light, the human skeletons stare in awe and then explode, leaving a pile of ash and bones where they stood.
I curse thy, Priest.
Calls the Priestess and whispers a dark spell
Kneel before me, Fall to the might of the dark god, Fall !!!
Maintaining his defense, the last gnoll withdraw with cautious back to the cleric.
In the back room, Lenuran casts a spell and cures Ithiken's wounds.

Grinning widely, the Kid bolts forward, weaving and ducking. "Its the dark for you, foul slaves to the Old One!" This is followed by a wicked throw that tries to pierce the cleric's defenses.
OOC: Move to AD9; toss dagger [Hit AC 14, 9 hp].

Korbryn growls deep in his throat, stepping around the pillar and moving directly toward the enemy cleric. Coming to a stop only a few feet from the unholy priestess, the doughty dwarven warrior swings his greatsword in a sideways arc aimed at her neck...
Moves to AB7, Attack +10, Damage 2d6+9
AC21, HP30/42

Feeling the healing power wash through him, Ithiken grins at Lenuran. "Thanks! I needed that!" With a renewed sense of vigor, the elf dashes into the next room and moves behind one of the pillars (Move action to AF10). He then ducks around it pointing his wand, and two more balls of force spring out and head straight for the evil cleric. (Cast Magic Missile from wand: 2d4+2)
