Droskar's Crucible

[Dunndero]

Dunndero continues his assault but due to the awkwardness of on attacking with the flat of his axe like a club or hammer, he drops his axe and starts slamming his huge ham sized fist and calloused knuckles into the face of the skeleton in front of him, the force of his caloused bear knuckles cracking and splintering bone with each hit. He obliterates the skull of the first skeleton with a devastating right hook, and moves into the next alcove and assaults thecskeleton there with a quick jab.

[DM Dread]

After Barlus ran up the center Toryn ran in and followed Kallista to the left and tried to shove the Skeleton back into the wall but it didnt budge, and the shield of psychic energy he had projected onto Kallista faded.

The Skeletons now had targets and began to fight back. The one Toryn had pushed reached up, pulled its skull from its body and threw it at Toryn. The skull uttered a frightening high pitch scream. Toryns blood ran cold at the sight of the flying head screaming and snapping and he understood Barlus' words now. He ducked and the head bounced off the wall and rolled to his feet, the eye sockets staring up at him.

A skeleton stepped out of the alcove to the front of Kallista and repeated what had happened to Toryn She had heard the scream and it did not effect her so she didnt flinch at this ones. She just scowled as the skull flew through the 5 feet and the jaw latched onto her neck, biting with a fervor and ripping a part of her neck open before it fell to the floor and rolled. Toryns fear did not worsen though from hearing a second skeleton

Three Skeletons threw their heads out through the niche in the wall at Larz. He felt the fear start to grip him and he fought against it, but succumbed to the grip for the moment. The Dwarven Cleric avoided two of the three throws the 3rd however he had to interpose his shield between him and it. It smacked into the shield with a large clang that dented it.

The remaining two threw their heads at Dunndero, 1 stepping out of his alcove to do so. The scream cut through Dunnderos resolve and he felt the icy grip of fear and then the two skulls hit him. 1 latching on to his forearm, the other to the side of his face. he shook and they fell to the floor, but not before leaving him bloodied.

Kallista glanced back to see if she could get to the Skeleton in the 1st alcove, but Toryn stood between her and it. so she pivoted and slammed her shield into the one before her., snapping ribs but it was still standing. So she raised her shield to defend, if they found a way to attack without their heads....but the thought came...Barlus acted like they had thrown them at him as well....

Breezy kept his eyes focused on looking for threats...especially Kobold ones.

Dunndero drpped his axe and resorted to his fists which had been hardened by a youth spent fighting. A fist slammed into the sternum of the one he had already injured shattering it. He then looked at the second one who had obliged him by stepping out of the alcove to his front and quickly did a one two punch, the second snapped a rib off the 3rd would have hit its head...if it had been there.

Lucian used his arcane mastery to bring into being a suit of force armor and shield. ready for the battle shouting to stay out of the middle and focus on the flanks.

Satoru and Arielle guarded the hall, and seemed to be in communion ...adjusting their abilities.

Larz growled and raised both his hammer and shield arm to the sky and called on Trudd. A pulse of pure white energy rippled out from him causing the necromantic hold on the skeletons to weaken and knitting the wounds together of allies.

Edgrin grinned back at Barlus. saying We made it Barlus. We are rescued. and continued tuning his lute.

Oriana came up behind Dunndero, and saw 1 skeleton laying amid its bones. The other was headless and had a few ribs snapped off. She launched a torrent of water at it past Dunndero, but her aim was off and only a s;light spray hit it.

[Toryn Togglebit]

Toryn tried to maneuver through Kallista and the northern skeleton to get a flank off, but was unable to find an opening in the cramped hall. His headless neighbor lurched towards him menacingly, causing Toryn emit a short and shrill shriek of terror. With a burst of horror-fueled adrenaline, the gnome head-butted the skeleton right in the pelvis, violently slamming it into a wall with a sickening, yet satisfying, crunch this time. He followed that up with a little kick in the shins for good measure.

[Dunndero]

Dunndero absolutely terrified by the headless skeleton in front of him, unleashes a quick jab, followed by a strong right hook into the skeleton's center of mass, and then another poorly timed jab that misses the skeleton entirely. Dunndero screams while trying to wipe the skeleton in front of him out of existence, "What in the blazing nine hells! It just threw its flammin skull at me! Die and stay dead dis time!".

Hearing her friends terrified squeak, the Paladin renewed her assault, slamming her shield into the headless skeleton before her, hitting it hard center mass and missing the swing entirely.
