Heartened that only two skeletons remain, and disheartened that Wugruk went down, then reheartened when he got back up. This glass case of emotions is ready to drag Errich down to the same grimy grave as whence yonder enemies came from.

He violently shakes his head, ceasing such thoughts. "Wugruk, Dante, retreat if need be! I can provide cover with my arrows!"

Another barrage, another lucky shot from Errich, who seems to be getting a knack for finding, among the animated bones, the one without which the skeletons simply crumble. As if a skeleton had a keystone.
OOC:
Almost out of this pickle =) Dante's up

Dante's eyes widen with admiration as Errich's arrow finds its mark, toppling another skeleton with precision. "Nice shot!" he exclaims. Drawing upon his own magical prowess, Dante redirects his focus to the lone remaining skeleton, channeling his energy into a searing fire bolt that crackles and dances in his outstretched hand.
OOC:
Action 1 & 2: Produce Flame
Action 3: maintaining Forbidding Ward on Wugruk?

Dante just misses (1 action to sustain Ward sounds right) - back to Wugruk!

Wugruk knows his weapon will be less than effective, but he has to try! He rears back with both hands on his axe and drives it forward over and over hoping to connect with the bones of the skeleton!
OOC:
I need to find a bludgeoning weapon for these kind of occasions lol

While Wugruk aptly hits the skeleton, his axe glides over smooth bone to no effect.
OOC:
yep, pesky resists!
OOC:
On second thought, I think Dante would have had to re-cast the Ward because the original target was the zombie, but I'll let it slide for this turn.

The skeleton, unfazed by the fall of its companions, continues to perform admirably.
OOC:
Should've been AC 19 I think - shield wasn't raised. Also can't block. 😬

Seeing the skeleton still standing, Errich curses under his breath, "I'm really starting to hate these things!" and lets loose on the abomination again.

The last skeleton stands - albeit precariously!

OOC:
If I took 7 damage I'm still standing, but barely at 2 hp

Dante agrees with Errich's sentiment, and conjures a small fire bolt in his hand again, trying to drop the last skeleton.
OOC:
Action 1 & 2: Produce Flame
Action 3: Shield... since Forbidding Ward is not active anymore :P

That does it! Dante's fire bolt is the last drop for this undead guardian. =)
OOC:
Everyone take 100 XP and a hero point!
Quote:
After the fight, the heroes have time to look around the room for treasure. The torch is a special magic item called an everburning torch that emits light constantly. Although it looks like fire, it emits no heat and can’t be extinguished! In addition, one of the skeletons was buried with a polished shield carved to look like a roaring lion. It can be used as a shield, or the heroes can sell it for 5 gp due to its fine artistry.
OOC:
I'm not sure what the stats of this shield are. Let's go with steel shield.
May 21, 2023 11:15 am
Wugruk was battered, bruised, and bloody from his wounds. His shield was in pieces, though not beyond repair. He would need some time to recover from his wounds.

"You both fought valiantly, we should take a few minutes here to rest up before moving on" he then slumped down against one of the now empty coffins and began to pray to Angradd to refocus himself.
OOC:
If nobody objects I could use that shield in place of my broken wooden shield, at least until we get out of here and then we could sell it if we so choose. Wugruk will need about 50 minutes to fully heal with Lay on Hands, unless someone wants to do medicine on him as well
May 21, 2023 6:52 pm
Dante's concerned gaze settles upon Wugruk, taking in the sight of his battered and bloodied form. "You look very hurt, Wugruk. Errich, my capable friend, do you have any skills that can help ease his pain and hasten his recovery?"
May 22, 2023 11:30 am
"There is nothing Angradds great forge can't repair Dante." he winced as he laid his hand over one of his wounds and began to pray.
May 22, 2023 5:34 pm
With a relieved sigh, "Takes a beating and keeps on ticking. You're making us look bad, old dwarf." Errich says with a slight grin, as he rushes over to Wugruk.

"Let me take a look at your injuries..."

As a spray of Wugruk's arterial blood washes over Errich, he claps the dwarf on the back, "You'll be just fine."

Rummaging through his pack and pulling out a small elixir of pinkish fluid, "I do have this though, perhaps you should have it."
OOC:
an elixir of life (minor)

"Uagha.." Wugruk groaned in pain as Errich looked him over. "...nay lad there is no pride in merely surviving a battle. Decisive victory is in Angradd's honor. But I did learn a lesson here, I need something blunt to strike the undead without flesh to cut." Wugruk took the elixer of life from Errich. "Thank you for this, it will come in handy if I am hurt again in combat. We should rest while we are in a defensive position and clear of the undead, and save this for when it's really needed"

OOC:
In the beginner's box, nothing's going to happen if you just linger, so we can say everyone's back up to full and good to go.
Getting back to the main passage, you come across an opening to your left. On top of a 10-foot ledge is a set of old wooden doors tightly shut.
OOC:
The curious must climb up with Athletics; otherwise, you can keep going.
May 24, 2023 11:31 am
OOC:
Good by me, was there anything in that room Wugruk could take as a bludgeoning weapon just in case? Even if it's like a weighted sconce? Also it didn't appear there was objection to me taking the shield, so I'll add that to my character sheet.
Wugruk dropped once more back into position, keeping an eye out for dangers as the group moved through the corridors. When he see's the doors he alerts the others quietly and then moves into position to open them. He presses his ear against the wood grain and listens for any activity on the other side.
OOC:
I think this is a secret perception check yes? If not you can still roll at +4 for Wugruk to speed things along.
May 24, 2023 2:32 pm
"No objections, that shield seems to fit you well. Perhaps one of the skeletons femurs will work as a way to bludgeon them?"

Seeing the doors, Errich scampers up the ledge and also listens in with Wugruk.
OOC:
+5 to my Perception
OOC:
Not sure if Trap Finder comes in handy here too?
