Can I assume that Albert manages to get in front of the others to shield them from the big skeleton?
My next action would be to try and cause fear on the skeleton using turn undead. So we have enough time to escape.
Seems fair. Your Turn Undead roll can incorporate any elements of getting there (with your lungs) as well.

@TheGenerator: Do you any ideas about the cost from you 7-9 on Turn undead?

Maybe it is short lived and you all have to hustle to get away in time? That seems more appropriate than having it attack you or something, especially since you might not be right up close... is that lack of closeness (dem lungs, yo) the reason it is only partially effective?

Are we decided on leaving this room and fleeing --sorry-- strategically manoeuvring to the next room?

Albert may have bought you some time.

I think some kind of mental strain might be appropriate in the situation. Maybe the temple fights back with another vision of his aunt and this rattles Albert. He'd be able to (hopefully) get away safely, but be lost in thought for a bit after.

Does that sound alright? Feel free to add/change things

Go ahead and narrate that vision if you want. Include (now or when you are, later, lost in thought) what you think it means.

The nearby skeleton is not destroyed, so it will be back. You can not tell if its incoming buddies are affected by this --probably not?-- and you probably don't have much time to deal with the old, unused, and moss-covered doors to the next area.

Sounds fair :) I'm only trying to buy time after all.

Yes please, Roald could use a break. So the next room should include food, fresh water, beds, doctors, palmtrees, a spa,...

I sill see what I can do... there is a chance the only spa will be the one you bring with you, or some such existential nonsense, but we can hope.

If we don't hear from @Rezart today, we will have to deal with the door ourselves, relying on brute strength and athleticism.

So… anyone strong want to take a crack at the door? Not sure if Deoring can be effective at breaking it down. He is athletic but not strong.

Maybe if we do it together?

We can do it as a team effort.

Be aware that 'breaking down' the door --while it might be the quickest and easiest-- will make the next part of the plan --where you reseal it to block off the incoming undead horde-- much harder (though still not impossible).

We could blow up the mushrooms after we are through

@TheGenerator: With a 13 on the attack, what does Albert want to achieve?
Maybe you can reinforce the plan of driving it away for long enough to get out (or get gold)?
Maybe you can double your damage, or something similar?

Is there any chance of it helping with the door? How about if the bottom of the staff shoots out a beam of Raynor's fire, burning off some of the moss that's blocking the door.
Totally not Albert's intention, but a nice bonus.

If not that, I think I'll just go for a critical hit.

That seems like a rather strong divine endorsement of this course of action.

Maybe the Die of Fate can tell us if Raynor actively approves? Though, I don't want a woe reading to tell us not to do this.

Do you think Raynor would approve strongly enough to help out?
May 6, 2022 11:14 am
Euhm ... There are people between you and the door. Even if Raynor approves, we don't 😂😂
Unless it's a friendly-fire-beam 😉

Raynor is a god of conquest... does that sound like it would come with friendly laser beams? :)

For the record, I have no objections to Raynor telling us that this is the 'correct' course of action.

Oooh, that's a good point. Raynor might oppose this action. I'm fine with Fate Dieing it :)
A suggestion:
5-6: Raynor helps to open the door (helping out his conduit, Albert)
3-4: Raynor focusses his energy on destroying the skeleton
1-2: Raynor is not amused and his fire melts the door hinges, forcing us to deal with the skeletons

What do you think?

You should be honored to earn such a divine death! :D
Praise be to Raynor!
