Droskar's Crucible

[Oriana Bronzeguard]

Oriana raises her shield to protect against any potentially incoming skulls (not something she was ever expecting to shield from) and then launches another powerful jet of water at the next skeleton to step out.

Actions:
1st: Raise Shield
2nd & 3rd: Elemental Blast (bludgeoning). 1d20+8=19 hit. 1d8+4=6 bludgeoning damage.
(I'm hoping there's another skeleton in sight by the time it's my initiative.)

[Brilliant Breeze]

Breezy continues to keep an eye out for danger. And tries to help the others when possible.

Actions:
Aid, and Seeking Threats

[DM Dread]

Barlus moves to sit on one of the benches by the stone tables. 

Toryn tried to tumble past Kallista, but couldnt get an opening. so instead he turned and launched himself at the Headless skeleton smashing into him, reducing to scattered bones.

It was frightening to see the skeletons heads roll back to the body and be picked up again by the bony hands and thrown at their perspective targets. Kallista saw the head coming to her The head came straight towards her face, eye sockets empty except a soulless glow. Jaws clacking on the r air. She interposed her shield and felt it hit with tremendous force. It bent a good 8 inches of the top inward and ripped the leather strap loose, making it very difficult to hold it.  the lip of the shield was slammed into her head bringing a knot up on it. The head bounced to the floor and looked up at her. Outside only two threw at Larz this time. But he dodged both of them. Out in the hall, tha second skeleton stepped out into the passageway facing Dunndero and the heads were picked up and thrown again. He swatted one away with a forearm, but the other latched onto his shoulder biting hard enough to push chain links into his flesh. The high pitched scream draining him of his resolve. His knees were all but quaking now as fear gripped him.

Kallista found she could no longer use her shield, broken as it was, and had to switch to her sword.  It was horribly ineffective against the skeletons and slipped between bones barely damaging it. She then tried to do a backswing and it completely missed her enemy.

Breezy stood near Barlus and Edgrin keeping an eye out.

Dunndero scared as he was could not bring full effort to his assault.   Still it was enough to shatter the skeletal opponent. He quickly moved forward in a boxing stance and a quick jab to the neck, snapped the spine and it bent to the side, but it did not fall. The pain in his shoulder was severe though.

Lucian moved to the side and looked past Toryn and Kallista with her shield hanging on her arm ineffective, and blasted the skeleton to her front with a bolt of arcane might.

Satoru snapped out of his communion with Arielle and moved back towards the doorway. Arielle past him entering the room. and looking around, not seeing anything except a couple heads by Larz's feet that already seemed to be rolling back towards the walls.

Larz looked around and once again called out to Trudd and that pulse of positive energy occurred. Larz could see the skeleton in the alcove closest to him. barely be damaged by the energy. However the one directly to Dunnderos front dissolved to powder. He also noted the other in the alcove across from him crumbled to dust also...only 1 remained. Larz shouted There be only 1 left. to Dunnderos side by me.

Edgrin moved over and started looking over Barlus' wounds and glanced at breezy saying Can you help him?


Oriana was going to raise her shield, but realized after Larz's words that she would be better served moving forward and cucking into the alcove across from the hall and sending her rush of water into the skeleton, snapping bones from its force. It barely stood when she was done. ((it has 4 points left))

[Toryn Togglebit]

Toryn scurried over to the other side where the last skeleton remained and saw that Dunndero was in rough shape. The gnome was unable to see the last bony boy yet, so he stopped and cast a protective barrier onto his half-orc buddy.

Action 1 +2: Stride
Action 3: Shield spell on Dunndero (+1 AC, shield block 5)

(OOC: I'll use my reaction to block if Dunn takes any more damage)

[Kallista]

Following behind the gnome, she pulled up short though, unable to pass him into the crowded alcove.

[Dunndero]

Dunndero hearing that there is only one left, and being in an absolute panic screams, "Heeeeelp! Meee!", in a shrill voice of a young boy, as he proceeds to try and scramble to the side to make room for his allies to attack, and lashing out at the skeletons with his bare fists in pure desperation trying to batter it away from him, his first punch coming no wear near to hitting and the second one landing square in the centerof the skeletons sternumn. The last punch shattering the skeleton's sternum, causing it to fall in a pile of scattered and jumbled bones at Dunndero's feet. Dunndero stands there trembling uncontrollably with his eyes squeezed shut, before he says in a trembling voice says, "Please tell mee that was da last of dem? I don't think I can rake much more!".
Actions:
1. Move Action: reposisitions himself to allow some one else to be able to move near the skeleton.

[Larz Oathtaker]

Looking through the arrow slit, Larz sees Oriana unleash her water spell on the last skeleton then Dundero trying to fend off the creature. When Dundero fails to strike the creature the little dwarf calls upon his God Lord Trudd destroy this hell spawn creature. A beam of positive energy shoots out striking the last skeleton and turning it to dust. With the last skelton destroyed Larz turns and sprints down the cente isle. When he sees Kalista he yells Kalista secure the room, no ones checked the front corridor. I got work to do! As he rounds the corner on the right. Everyone clear the way.

Actions
1 & 2 disrupt undead
3 Striding towards Dundero

(disrupt Undead 1d20+7=19)
(disrupt damage 1d6+3=8)

[Kallista]

Nodding to Larz, the young paladin turned and headed to where Barlus had been hiding, stopping at the intersection, she kept an eye out for trouble or anything of interest. 

Perception: 1d20+5 13

[Lucian]

Lucian kept his shield up, but he peered around the room with his advanced detect magic, making sure nothing dangerous stood out in the room. "Well - That was bracing. "

(Action - Maintained Shield.  Then looked around the room with his detect magic to make sure the threats were gone.  His advanced Detect Magic essential adds Read Aura to his sight on anything magical.  So it shows the exact object and/or creatures with magic.  This is not amp'd so it doesn't give him additional bonuses to saves against said magic.)

[Satoru Hanzo]

Like a diminutive superhero, Satoru comes singing into the room “HEEEERE I come, to save the DAYYYYY!!!”

Arielle just rolls her eyes and hums the next part without speaking.  Then she walks further into the room and spies something charred and boney.  Grimacing, she tries to fit her warped fist through to get to it.


Act Together.
Satoru…doesn’t really do much.
Arielle strides and casts Gouging Claw…if she can reach.
