The Wilderness

The large central mound is surrounded by a pulsating green barrier. Outside of the barrier, evenly spaced around the circumference of the base of the mound are five glowing arcane symbols. A wave of negative energy flows over the party and Glòrendil and Saris double over. You see a line of green energy seep out of them and flow into the barrier. A few moments later, you feel the ground begin to vibrate. You look down and see the bones begin to gather together and form into six skeletons with glowing green eyes. They pick up broken weapons and move in to attack.

Rolling initiative for Harbek. Post to follow.

Saris draws two hand axes and flings them at two skeletons. One shot goes wide but the other strikes with deadly accuracy. The blow strikes a skeleton’s skull and it collapses into a heap of dusty bones.

Que mutters a word of power and her wounds begins to knit together. You watch as a nasty gash above her right eye stops bleeding, then a scab forms, then the scab fades until the only remaining evidence of a wound is a small line of soft pink tissue. Then she looks down at her hand, she clenches her fist and a ball of flame appears, she eyes up a skeleton and hurls it. Her aim is true and the skeleton erupts in flames. It burns for a few moments before falling apart.

Herod leaps into the fray. He takes a giant leap and smashes his staff down in a massive strike, he then uses his momentum to spin, aiming a round-house kick at the skeleton but it has already collapsed, so he continues his momentum further and aims a kick at a second skeleton. He strikes it in the center of its solar plexus and it too collapses into a pile of dust.

Glòredil draws his longsword and attempts to hit the skeleton. Unfortunately, his blow is wide and the skeleton moves in and aims a blow at his mid-section. Glòrendil manages to deflect the blow but it slices him across the arm.Harbek shoulders his shield, lowers his head and charges at the last unengaged skeleton. He swings his axe low and cuts the skeletons legs off at the knees. It falls to the ground and does not get up.

You notice that these skeletons seem to be pretty fragile.

As you pause to catch your breath another wave of sickly green energy washes over you. This time it seems a little more powerful.

@Herod, Glòrendil.and Saris: You feel the sickly energy draw the strength out of your body. You feel a sense of fatigue as if you had just fought in a battle.@Everyone else: you manage to shake off the effects.of the necrotic energy but you see thin strands of energy seeping out of your comrades and enter the barrier.

@Everyone: You see three new skeletons begin to form at the base of the hill.Round 2 fight!

@Que. There is a green barrier around the hill and five large glowing symbols surrounding the barrier. The symbols are not within the barrier nor are they surrounded by any sort of energy field. Where exactly are you throwing your flame?
