There are no apparent vents or two doors on the ceiling. There is a glint of silver within the bones just under the skull, but otherwise, it appears to be a pile of bones and no more.

"I detect no magic from the bones or ceiling, for what that's worth."
Apr 14, 2025 1:26 am
"Probably going to regret this," Tabat says, and attempts to lift the skull from its position at the top of the bone pile. "You all may want to stand back."
Apr 14, 2025 1:54 am
The skeleton animates, the bones rising to form a golem.

I think it's fair to say you were all ready and it's action is to animate, so you may act first. (Doesn't matter if you have it's head.)

Khepri, aid us dealing with this swiftly. She prays as magic emanates from the scarab round her neck, before she falls back bit.
[ +- ] Blessing of Fervour

"Tabat, my weapon is no good against a pile of bones!" Iseret cries in frustration. Nonetheless, she makes the attempt. She attempts to maneuver behind the golem to gain the flanking bonus and sneak attack.
OOC:
Using Blessing of Fervour to gain +2 on attack rolls and +2 Dodge to AC and Reflex saves.

Tabat pulls free his adamantine flail and smashes it against the thing assembling before them. "Hold steady, Iseret, we'll take it down together!"

Jaware draws two arrows and let's them loose, then a third.

Flat-footed AC is 19. 21 damage, bypasses the DR. Damage taken, 55.

The creature takes horrific damage from those attacking it, then throws bones at Tabat even as it forms into it's full shape. These bones magically duplicate and form a cage surrounding Tabat. The Bone came squeezes crushing Tabat within.

You're all up.

Tabat cries out as the cadaverous cage constricts against him. His muscles tense and he attempts to shatter free of it...feeling his efforts fail to have an effect, he looks to his gauntleted hand, the cage threatening to push against him again. "Get me out of this thing!" he shouts, "I'll tear this thing apart!"

Iseret's attacks barely miss the construct.

This wasn't looking good, bit the cleric isn't sure how she can aid Tabat getting out the cage. Khadi scrabble for her crossbow, and tries to fire a shot.

Switching to defensive once more (+2 to AC and Reflex), Iseret tumbles away from the golem towards the cage holding Tabat prisoner and swings at the bony bars.

OOC:
Lets process Iseret's second actions after this round.
Khadi attacks the cage but her crossbow does no damage.

Tabat safely caged, the bone creature attacks Iseret, it's mighty body thrashing at her hard. (She takes 25 damage).

Iseret tumbles away and attacks the cage. She knicks it.
OOC:
Khadi and Jaware and Tabat are up. I'll act for Jaware first.

"HA!! Well done, Jaware!" Tabat grips his flail, steps in, and launches a vicious attack against the skeletal creature, making use of Khadi's blessing. "The judgment of Horus is yours, you cannot cage it!"

Tabat's fury is unwavering and he crushes the golem to splinters and shards.

Combat is over.

A silver collar lies in the wreckage (non-magical, worth 750gp).

Three short corridors slope down from the center of this cruciform chamber, each ending at a wall with a large, carved stone face— one frightened, one sad, and one angry. Tablets, statues, icons, and carvings cram the corridors. A fourth hallway leads west to a set of bronze double doors from which you entered.
Apr 18, 2025 7:36 am
Heaving and catching his breath from the sudden and brutal onslaught, Tabat muses, "I guess we didn't get wet. Everyone okay?"

He makes his way down the southern corridor, studying the litany of objects lining the walls. When he makes it to the end, he looks over the carved face, inspecting it.
Apr 18, 2025 7:38 am
'That was not fun.. what knowledge is down here that they have such things guarding it?' She wonders out loud as she sees to first Iseret's and then Tabat wounds.
OOC:
Taking 10 on healers hands for both of you. You both gain 24hp.
Apr 18, 2025 2:17 pm
Iseret gladly accepts Khadi's ministrations. "I'm sorry that I did not do more," she says to Tabat, her head lowered.
