Bazz lunges at the skeleton and his blade slides neatly between the ribcage, sticking into the door behind it.  Melville and Anders hear a second lightly thump following the heavy thump of the skeleton slamming against the door.

Slick whips around her shortbow and draws a bead on the skeleton that landed next to Rupert.  The arrow slams through the empty left eye socket and explodes out the back of the skull.  It immediately collapses into a pile of dust and boneshards. {18 to hit, 7+5 damage from sneak attack}

Almost as if in retribution one of the minotaur skeletons clambers over the stern rail, raises it's greataxe high and brings it down on Slick.  The tiny gnome collapses under the weight of of rusty weapon. {Nat 20, bullseyed Slick's HP on the crit damage}. The other minotaur skeleton scales the rails of the forecastle and attempts to catch Annebelle with it's axe.  She deftly ducks under the swing and the blade digs into the railing around the catapult turret. {9 to hit}

One skeleton scrabbles over the forecastle rail on the other side, taking a broad swing with it's rusty short sword but missing terribly.  The other that landed next to the mainmast closes in as well, outnumbering and mostly surrounding Cash and Annabelle.  It is harder to read on the insectoid face, but both show signs of consternation and worry, especially as this approaching skeleton lungs suddenly and catches Annabelle across the legs. {22 to hit, 8 damage}  She swears in pain.  

The skeleton next to Bill is able to slide it's rusty blade inside his guard and across his arms. {dirty 20 to hit, 4 damage}.  The one at the helmroom door attempts to lunge forward at Bazzalan, but Bazz's sword stuck through its ribs hamper the motion and it's blade falls inches short of Bazz's chest. {11 to hit}

With a roar, Threadvine charges up the stairs from the hold, only to be brought up short by the skeleton.  He tries to find his footing, but with the gleaming long sword in his right hand and the curved scimitar in his left he cannot get good positioning to make an attack. {Dash action}

Annabelle steels herself grimly and whips out her rapier at the minotaur skeleton.  The blade chips and snaps on of it's ribs, but the skeleton proceeds unhampered. {12 to hit, 5 damage}

Cash unsheaths the greatsword he carries across his back and brings it down on the skeleton that had hit Annabelle.  One of it's arms shatter under the force of the blow and it staggers heavily to one side, almost brought low in a single stroke. {14 to hit, 11 damage}  He swears, "Damn, bone bags.  Get off my turrent!" He bellows and directs his follow through at the other skeleton {Action surge}. The blade smashes the skeleton to dust. {24 to hit, 13 damage}

In the helmroom Anders projects her sight to the crows nest and cries out, "There are skeletons all over the ship, Melville!  One at the door even!"

Royce moves over to be in position to help defend Bazz if needed {Protector fighting style}, and slams his longsword into the skeleton at the door breaking a few bones {14 to hit, 5 damage}

It is now Rupert's turn.  Ashheart will just be running up and stuck on the stairs behind Threadvine.  Melville can go ahead an go after Rupert.
