The New Remnant

Stee looking at these skeletons trying get out of their skin is a little perplexed by this. He will sight in on the new zombies and get off two more shots. Wreak will charge into battle. The draw of bones pulls him to a skeleton.

Elyse prepares another pair of glowing blue magic blasts and let's loose on the closest ranks.

Onlooking Cords just can't believe all that he is seeing. He looks more careful to see if this is true to his vision.

Upon seeing the slain zombies spawn skeletons, Blornvid swears. He keeps swinging his axe though.

A little shocked and revolted by the gruesome sight Aizashi attacks the closest skeleton

Oliver fixes his gaze onto a second zombie and blasts away a fiery shot from his eyes. He follows up with attacks with his sling onto some of the skeletons.

Cords is simply shocked by what has transpired and expends effort (and time) to make sure this is all actually real. Realizing it is, he snaps out of it and makes an attack on a skeleton using his axe ... but he is obviously still shook up, so the attack really doesn't land!

Stee's attack takes out a zombie, but Wreak isn't able to land a successful attack on a skeleton.

Blornvid's two swings fail to land, too.

Elyse, however, manages to make contact with both of her magic bolts, each taking out a zombie.

Oliver delivers a burning attack on a zombie, dropping it, and his sling shot takes out a skeleton.

Aizashi lands one hit, which takes out another skeleton.

As you feared, each of the dropped zombies begin to shudder and their skeleton rips out of their rotting (and in one case, burning) flesh. However, this takes both of their Actions for the turn, so they make no attacks. However, the shattered bones of the two dropped skeletons start to move and reform before your very eyes! Fortunately, this is not an immediate action, so it takes the full turn for them to reform.

The remaining two zombies and the four unaffected skeletons return the attacks! Since Cords, Aizashi, and Blornvid are on the front line, they take the brunt of the attacks. However, one zombie breaks through to reach Elyse.

The result of this is that four of the six zombies were taken out, only to reform as four more skeletons. Two skeletons were taken out, but they made their saves, so they reformed. However, that still took all of those out of the combat for the Turn. The rest made their attacks, which were not terribly effective, though Wreak took the brunt of it. Cords and Aizashi each took one HP damage, too.

End of Turn 2
Start of Turn 3

All twelve opponents remain. There are ten skeletons and two zombies left. The skeletons only reform if they make their Save Test, so you will eventually take them out, but it may take a couple tries for some of them. However, any skeleton taken down means they don't attack on the turn they reform if they make their Save Test.

Elyse, eyes wide with fear, her mind scrambling to solve the puzzle of the situation. She chooses to ignore the skeleton engaged with her, trusting her goblin agility. She lets loos two more bolts. This time on a single skeleton.

"They are reforming too fast!"

Oliver decides to forgo his last blazing gaze blast, and focuses on using magic telekinesis to retrieve the skulls of broken skeletons before they reform.

"This should give us a head start."

Stee will sight in the last two zombies and go through his tried and true shout routine aim, inhale, exhale, release. Wreak will continue after the skeleton.
