Chapter 2: Into The Temple...
The former mercenary captain nudged a steel-capped toe into one of the ancient bones lying in the room. If these bones can reanimate and attack them it's better to know now for sure. after a few more prodding here and there it was decided the bones won't rise up. As a precaution, Sardonius asked Krenmuth to bless these bones to make sure they stay dead...

Right...let's move to the other doors when you're done Wavewarden.
OOC:
Move in front of door number 6

Krenmuth stands in the doorway, presenting his holy symbol with his right hand and using his left to gesture three lightning bolts in the air. He says, "May the souls of the those who lie in this room receive their just rewards in the afterlife."

Before joining Scags in front of door #6, he addresses the party, "Pits can contain clues to what they were used for. Let's not forget to examine it after we make sure this area is safe."

When he reaches Scags, he says, "There is no need to skulk in the darkness and I don't want to endanger any torch bearers." Krenmuth casts a Light cantrip on the head of his warhammer.

What..? Erm.. yes.. I guess you are right Hjalmar says to Melianne as she pulls him out of the room

Melianne opens the door at the end of the corridor with hardly any sound. She peeks inside.
A small portion of the room is illuminated by Hjalmar's torch and Krenmuth's shining warhammer.
Rubble covers the portion of the room she can see. Some of the rubble is strewn accros the floor, a bit of it is piled up to small heaps but other than that she can't make out any details. At least she can't spot any enemies

"Gentle lady, please step aside," Krenmuth says to Melianne. "Evil hides itself well in darkness." He is ready to move in front of her and enter the room.

Let's move in and clear some of this rubble to see if there's anything the archaeologists would like to look into

With that, Scags sheathed his long sword and started to go to the back of the room where the rubble is thickest and began to sift through it.

The group enters the room. Several piles of dirt and rubble cover the floor. Astrid joins you and picks up a few pieces of rubble.
Just as Scags makes his way through the rubble he can hear something in the far end of the room.
Krenmuth holds his shining warhammer high into the air and reveal a large pile of bones in the far edge of the room besides a door in the northernmost wall (Door No 7).
But not only this, he also reveals that some of the bones are actually axe wielding skeletons. One of the creatures still has quite a lot of flesh on its bones.
It lets out a terrifying scream and charges at you along with four skeletons.
OOC:
I tried to position you according to your descriptions. If you want to adjust your position you can tell me.
As Korrin specifically said that he'll stand at the far end of the corridor I let him stay there, but you can also decide that you moved into the room along with the others

Combat time! Please roll initiative
EDIT: Ouch! Tough luck with the initiatives for you. If you rolled higher than the ghoul you can go make your first move in combat

As the light illuminated the room, Scags sees a grinning skeleton in the corner. it was also standing. and wielding a weapon. As the danger finally settled in his mind, the skeleton let out a fearsome scream that will curdle the blood of lesser men.

Ah bollocks, The mercenary captain-turned-guard sighed as he readies his halberd into position.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/sewida9htwpy05c/Temple_Map6b.png?dl=1The skeletons and the ghoul rush across the room, towards the heroes.
Scags, Krenmuth, Annika and Melianne each have to face off against their adversaries. Korrin hears the scream and dashes through the corridor into the room
OOC:
I rolled for Korrin as they haven't posted an initiative roll yet and took the dash action to move him into the room

The enemies use the dash action to get to you quickly. The grid in the room is 5 feet for each square. The rubble piles are difficult terrain

You can act now...

Melianne yelps as one of the skeletons rushes towards her and Korrin, and tries to back away from it - unsuccessfully, seeing as there is barely a room for manoeuvre. "Soldier boys, Annika, a little help?" She calls out to the others, her free hand hovering over her dagger warily even as her tone takes on a slightly amused note. "Hey Captain, bet you can't finish any of them with one blow only!"
OOC:
Action: Bane -> 1) skeleton between Korrin and Melianne, 2) ghoul, 3) skeleton west from Sardonius.
Bonus: Bardic Inspiration (d6) -> Sardonius
Move: is skeleton engaging me? If not, then climb onto the rubble pile. If yes, then no movement.

Meliannes spell doesn't seem to affect the undead. Krenmuth's call on divine power on the other side at least drives away the ghoul.

Korrin hacks into the hip of the skeleton threatening Melianne and chips away some of the bone there.

Annika thrusts her rapier into the ghoul just before it runs away and a green flame leaps to the skeleton next to Melianne.
Korrin tries to hit the fleeing ghoul but only hits a scrap of cloth that's hanging off of it.

Scags hacks at one of the skeletons next to him. He hits the ripcage, breaking a few rips which flie across the room.
While the ghoul runs away and cowers in a corner of the room, the skeletons attack.
Sardonius is hit by both skeletons, one of them sinking its axe into Scags' flank.

Krenmuth can duck just in time to avoid being hit while Melianne can clearly see where the attack of the skeleton is headed and just makes a step to the side to avoid it.

While Astrid just makes a small step backwards, Hjalmar lets out a series of gasps and grunts as the battle goes on
OOC:
Scags takes 15 damage (Ouch!)
Annika can use her reaction try to hit the fleeing ghoul with an opportunity attack but doing so will result in the ghoul stopping (I'd retcon that if Annika's attack hits)

Melianne doesn't seem impressed by Cpt. Tenebra's lack of interest in her teasing and huffs to herself in displeasure, before pointing a finger in his direction and murmuring a healing spell. That done, she doesn't wait to see if the man has anything to say about that and instead draws her rapier and aims for the skeleton before her.

Bonus action: Healing Word --> Sardonius.

Annika nods approvingly as the ghoul turns and flees in terror. That's the way it should be.

With another burst of green fire, she attacks in unison with the Wavewarden.
