Rest in the Tower

[Attilius]

"I have an idea..." HurK says in her deep female voice "I think we should all be wearing these amulets. If we come across a magical trap, maybe, MAYBE these may allow us to pass it unhindered... OR some intelligent undead, Aman, may not attack us outright as intruders and wish to speak first seeing the amulets. The only thing, taking the amulets off may animate them. It's a chance I'm willing to take... If moving them does not reanimate them, I'm going to take them to the roof where I can simply push them off and let gravity take it's course while taking their amulet off their heads. First though, the movement test..."

HurK sheaths her blade and moves to the closest one to the door then looks to the others to make sure they are ready to act. Once they are, she will simply stand behind the corpse, bear hug it while pinning it's arms down, then lift it up 5' off the ground.

IF no movement happens, HurK will move past the door, up the stairs and onto the roof with the corpse. If everything goes smoothly she will do that 11 more times.

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

- From her position, Kem examines the skeletons, looking for the type of humanoid they were in life

[DM Bob]

Well, once the chest is touched the skeletal things begin to move.

You can each make one proper action before we roll initiative for the following round, as their compelled spirits return to their boney frames.

(Are they on a map? Can I just Lightning Bolt 5-6 of them in a row?)

[DM Bob]

They're spread out, in a life-mocking manner of a bunch of monks near their personal bunks.

Also, shooting a bolt here is definitely grounds for some rebound action.

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

- Kem gets ready her singing sticks, in a light green glow, and hits one of them - Sorry to disturb your eternal dream

[OOC: I typed Kem's hit [Thaco 13] in Rolz and it made a #noroll of some sort, so I did a proper roll after. 14 roll (-1 AC) and 7 bludgeoning damage]

[Deleted]

Mak casts a spell of protection, his skin turning brown and rough. "Let's draw them into the doorway so we can drop them one at a time." he says as he steps adjacent to the open doorway while remaining in the stairwell.

((Mak 42/42hp, AC 0, Barkskin 1/12 rnds, Spells: 1st 6/6, 2nd 5/6, 3rd 5/5, 4th 3/3))

[Coden Rokos (Jesse H.)]

Since the group is underground at night, Pallia can't call upon the sun's power. She's reduced to swinging her carikkal.

(Initiative roll 6 + weapon speed 5 = 11)
(Hit AC -3, 6 slashing damage)

[ascieszl]

Kleys will fire off a Melf's Acid Arrow at a target furthest from the doorway (rolled 19, hits AC -4, 7 Acid dmg now, 8 dmg next round, 5 dmg on round 3) and then retreats back out of the room and far enough from the doorway for the front-liners to stand outside the bunkroom and limit the Skeletons to standing in the doorway.

[DM Bob]

Laahk backs up and holds the rear in the stairway room.

[Attilius]

Lady HurK drops the body to the ground and steps back while pulling out her scimitar. She concentrates on her nexus, drawing forth energy...

[Kinetic Control 17, rolled 14
-15 PsP's]

[Niachi]

Laakh (restored to full PSPs from a Nap spell) keeps his razors out and clears his mind to take in the doorway battle and his surroundings, open to threads of danger and observation in the DUSTY air. He wraps his silt rags over his face.

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

- Good thinking Mak - Kem will be moving back towards the entrance, to avoid getting trapped in the middle of the raised ones at the end of her attack but standing at the front line, to face them as they come in smaller groups

[remie]

Kri-kcht taps his psionic power to produce his acidic hands.

(Ooc rolled a 4 on a d20)

[DM Bob]

While I'm awaiting a clarification of actions from Hurk/Markus... here's a map. darksunsouthtablelands.obsidianportal.com/maps/127847
