"Considering our benefactor did in most of these skeletons, I suspect that we are going to end up finishing the job." Scarfs has her shortsword drawn and ready now. And a torch in the other.

"Well, if they're not coming, we can pelt them with arrows, perhaps." He reached for the tiny crossbow at his hip, racking up a bolt and taking aim. Not the most effective weapon against a pile of bones, perhaps, but he did not fancy getting too close and having his coat get torn up.

You have a point. Roark readies his bow and two arrows. With a trained arm, he sends two arrows against a skeleton
[ +- ] Doubleshot (1 point, A)
1st degree Biting Zephyr Action
You palm two blades or nock two arrows, launching both missiles at the same opponent.
The next ranged weapon attack you make uses two missiles instead of one. On a hit, you deal an additional weapon damage die.

Taking note from competent companions, our half-orc ranger draws and loads his own longbow. And puts a missile of his own into dungeonous air!

Okay, so right now, your only source of light, IIRC, is a torch carried by Scarfs. The torch provides 20' of bright light and another 20' of dim light beyond that. If you retreated all the way back the corridor to lure in the skeleton, the corridor is 40' long, add another 10' to 20' for the skeletons being a bit further inside the large room and they are more likely in complete darkness right now.
So unless you have darkvision, shooting at the skeletons is going to be very difficult if not down right impossible. I'll let you discuss a plan of action for now, you have plenty of time anyways as the skeletons seem rather uninterested in you at the moment...
One skeleton crumbles from the concentrated fire and the other turns towards you. INITIATIVE!

OOC:
Note that in a5e, initiative is not always a straight DEX roll, depending on the situation and what can be justified, it can also be a skill check. Also, since you are now fighting only one remaining skeleton, I think we can do this fight in a "theatre of the mind" style for now.Rolls

"Well, that went better than expected." Chester saw the arrows fly, impressed with the barrage, and stowed his crossbow in favor of his whip.

Side note. :) Scrafs does own a lantern and oil should that torch become less than useful.Last edited December 27, 2023 6:19 am

Roark's shots breaks a few ribs, that skeleton looks to be in bad shape (It has the Bloodied condition even though it can't bleed... yeah, it's a bit weird to say...).
Chester is up next!

Chester took a step forward, in front of the bowmen, uncoiling the length of his bullwhip. Taking his cape and throwing it off his shoulder to free his fighting arm, he began to wind up, forming an elaborate pattern of loops and curls around him as the lash gathered energy, ready to strike out like an asp...
Movement: Chester will take the fore, and move ahead of the party.
Bonus Action: Prepare the Frightful Suppression trick.
Action: Ready an attack against the first enemy to enter my reach, using Frightful Suppression to stop their movement. (DC 13 Wisdom Save). (Feel free to roll the attack if it gets in - 1d20+4 / 1d4+2 slashing damage.)

[ +- ] Frightful Suppression
When you make an attack that causes loud noises—a firearm or grenade, or also items and spells that deal thunder damage—you can use this trick to force the attack’s target (or creatures in the attack’s area) to make a Wisdom saving throw to gauge when it is safe to move, and thus avoid being pinned down. A creature that fails cannot move until the start of your next turn unless it spends an action.

The skeleton will now make a dash towards the nearest target (I assume that will be Chester). Its movement takes it right to teh end of the slime-covered hallway, so it will take some acid damage as well...
And with Chester's well-placed strike as well as the acid, the last skeleton crumples onto the floor.
The fight is over.

Scarfs who does have an athletic look to her was posed for combat and rather slow on the reactions. "That was fast work. Now to see where she came here from."
