Mistamere Castle

Evading the snapping jaws of the maimed Zombies, Will and Miyana retrieve the belongings of the slain adventurers; a bow and arrows, leather armor, and a silvery potion (neatly labelled as ‘healing’) from one of them, and a steel long sword, chainmail, and a folded map from the other.

You barely have enough time to catch your breath, when another figure emerges from the pitch-blackness in front of you. Slow and deliberate, the skeleton, wearing a worn bronze chainmail and an old tattered bear coat, steps into view. It drags a frosty sword behind it, the blade scraping along the stone floor. It stops to look at you with its hollow eye sockets for a moment, then, it hisses, and raises its sword, pointing directly at you. As soon as it does, you hear more noises from the passageway to your right. More shuffling footsteps, growing louder, as if more restless bones are on the move...

Boudica has barely caught her breath from her first encounter ver with the undead when she is faced with more!
She holds her holy symbol aloft once more!

Boudica brandishes her holy symbol, and the group of skeletons from the door to the right falters. Their bones rattle as they halt in place, unable to advance past the threshold.

But the sound of dragging metal still echoes through the room. The skeleton in the tattered bear coat and bronze chainmail continues its march, undeterred by the holy light. Its empty eye sockets fixate on you with malicious intent, the ice-chilled sword it drags along the floor leaves a trail of frost behind it.

The mace strikes the undead with a resounding crack, causing it to stagger back, but it quickly recovers. Miyana’s arrow hits its chest, sinking into the bone, but without flesh to damage, the impact is minimal. Turning its hollow gaze on Will, the undead raises its frost-covered sword and swings it dow toward him.

Boudica's mace connects, but the worn armor absorbs most of the strength of her blow.

The skeleton warrior pauses the moment Miyana reaches the archway. It breaks off the fight altogether, no longer interested in slaughtering the foolish adventurers (or rather, it is no longer its first priority). Instead, it locks its hollow eye sockets at her and turns its back on Will and Boudica and walks with a slow gait back into the room from which it emerged, determined to pursue Miyama.

Miyama - The room you ran into is pitch dark, offering little more than a vague sense of space. Your torchlight barely provides any illumination, but you are convinced you are in some sort of a temple, or a ritual chamber. The chill inside is worse than anywhere else in the castle, so unnaturally cold it sinks into your bones. The whispers that accompanied you throughout your exploration of the ruins grow louder and sharper, more insistent, as if they are responding to your intrusion. You manage to take just a couple of steps into the room before noticing a dark sheen over the walls, as strange liquid (blood?) starts seeping through the cracks. Whatever lies at the heart of this room, whatever ritual was once performed here, is something the undead want her away from.
