The Ancient Paths - Path I

[hippocrachus]

~ The Adventurers ~

The skeleton facing Hrolf and Dowkan flails its arms out wide at the two adventurers, tearing a long gash in Hrolf's forearm with its skeletal hand (3 Damage) and banging a severed elbow against Dowkan's armor. Sabriel's foe doesn't have any luck striking flesh.
Hrolf shrinks back and raises his shield to prevent another scrape.
Dowkan steps to the side, positioning himself between the two injured skeletons, balances on his toes, and round-houses the undead with his axe. The skeleton facing Hrolf ends up facing a rock as its head is sent careening into the shadows (3 Damage). The skeleton facing Sabriel collapses to the ground after the dwarf's axe takes a leg (2 Damage).

[sblock]Low Damage rolls and he still managed to kill both of them...
Aftermath: Hrolf is still sickened for five minutes. Dowkan is still sickened for four minutes.

Sabriel laughs shakily as the dust settles, more an adrenilan release than anything else. "Well, something here certainly doesn't like us much, that's for sure." She said, wiping bone dust from her sword on a piece of rag before sliding it back into it's scabbard. "Next time we're in the city, remind me to invest in a sling. Arrows are fair useless against skellitons."

She said, trying to sort out the confused jumble of emotions she had from her first serious, life-threatening fight. Mostly, she felt relieved that she and her new-found companions were mostly intact.

Dowkan spits on the remains of the abominations. "Not so undead now, ah ya!".

"Hrolf, next time you be stayin' clear of them undead ya scare, ya hear me?"

[sblock=<edit>]OOC: Loot? What loot?[/sblock]

 

[Legildur]

Dowkan wipes the ghast ichor from his face. "Let's go an' see what these blighters were up to," he suggests. First searching the skeletons (and encouraging the others to do so), he then heads back to the chamber. Starting with the other remains, and then the graves themselves, Dowkan eventually moves on to the ghast's room with it's blood like liquid coating everything. Moving the boulder is one of his actions.
[sblock=ooc]The initial decription of the chamber mentioned the portal door on our left (north), and then ghast emerging from a portal door on our right (south). I presume that there is only one door given only one was mentioned in the opening description?[/sblock]

"Sirrah Dowkan! Do not go poking around in that room, no telling what sort of mouse traps the previous owner set in it!" Sabriel called out. "Wait while we finish with these bone heaps. Then I will help search the room. I have a better chance of finding traps and tricks than the rest of you,"

 

[Legildur]

Dowkan grunts as Sabriel's words cause him to pause. "Aye lassy, it be all yours then."

[sblock=OOC]Dowkan springs a trap when he moves the boulder! Just kidding
You are correct, Legildur. In the room with the open graves, there is a door on the left side, a tunnel on the south side leading deeper into the caves, and the tunnel leading back to the beach at the entrance.[/sblock]

The young woman helps the others gather what loot there was and moved towards the room. "Stay out of the room until I give the 'all clear', better one caught then all if I trip a trap by mistake," she warned and cautiously entered the room, covering up her nose and mouth with the scarf about her neck, grimancing at the narsty smell.

"Gah... That thing is rank," she muttered, searching for anything amiss as well as anything interesting.

[Majin]

Nae'talis keeps his usual silence while the rooms are searched, not to mention a sizable distance from the sickened pair, his nose burning at the traces of vomit still about them. He wishes he'd of memorized a Prestidigitation spell, and makes a mental note to do so in the future.

 

[Dhes]

Dowkan spits on the remains of the abominations. "Not so undead now, ah ya!".

"Hrolf, next time you be stayin' clear of them undead ya scare, ya hear me?"

Trying to put a grin on his face, ”How else am I going to kill the creations of Chaos is I don’t get into the fray. holding hand up in acquiesces, ”Next time I’ll let you do your job master Dwarf. The rest of us will just have to be satisfied with the scraps you leave us.”
Kneeling on the ground, Hrolf puts his sword and shield down and starts prying. Just father, pleas heal our hurts so we may continue fighting chaos in the name of Law and Justice.

Will we be resting before we go on? That comment in ooc saying that the next fight should really help in the XP department sounds scary [/sblock]
