All stand for the drums of war...

[DM Bob]

As the halfling maneuvers into the dusty shadows and the half giant takes up the door frame...

The elven wizard's unseen servant (or poor imitation of telekinesis) tries to move one of the chonky metal blades.

A single...

*WAP*

As an undying arm swings out and crushes the invisible culprit. That one starts rising at the waist, as the sounds of songs and tribal drums resonate within the stone mortuary. The music builds. An alien tongue chants and screams threats unheard since the days of the Cleansing. You have awoken the devout.

The others start to move.

Intentions needed.

Umbris

Intention: Going to wreck some undead skulls with his sling from the shadows

[Niachi]

"We avenge your crushed Collector."

He moves out of  the gouge and massive shield's swinging range to cover the other side of the crypt entrance. His low crouch allows Coden, Quila and Scrye line of sight to the skeletons while keeping others out of his own swinging range.

 [Elvish: "Beat the rhythm with their bones.."] His nonsense words and fingers tapping like Yngwie cast Bone Club. He limbers up his shoulders and cracks his neck, tracking the final movements of 'Muiko's 'Unseen Servant.' The scent of iron mingles with the sweet/foul aromatics of Necromancy and the festive music.  Niachi is content.

"Mmmm, cinnabar!" He licks his lips.

Initiative: with Dex: 5

Bone Club: Necromancy/Enchantment: +1 bonus, +4 vs. undead. Duration 8 rounds

Attilius moves so that he is in front of the little earthy rodent
"Skrye do your thang and turn 'em! I'll make sure they ain't hittin' yous none!

The Murmillo looks over his manica pauldron to Coden and calls out in a crazed gleeful manner
Centurion! Let's give 'em a propa Balican wake-up! And see what your new iron Tembo-poker can do!

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

- Skrye gets ready, concentrating in the powers of the earth and moving to a visible position to those restless undead - "From the depths of the earth, with the crushing power of the land, their elemental conduit through me, their power to keep you afar!" - turning as many as possible, gesticulating in a very methodical but stoic manner

[OOC: Last of the turn that's why I don't roll initiative, as trying to turn them.

Rolled 16, I can turn 8 undead, starting from those of lower HD (if mixed, it’ll start with the ones with lower HDs first).
I can turn the following ones: Skeleton/1HD (D*), Zombie, Ghoul/2HD, Shadow/3-4HD, Wright/5HD, Ghast, Wraith/6HD, Mummy/7HD, Spectre/8HD, Vampire/9HD]

[DM Bob]

Round 1:

Coden remembers the whistle stolen from the ruins of Bodach and the divinations that spoke of it striking fear in the hearts of both mortal and the dead, it cared not if they beat. He fumbles to grab the throng from about his neck and awaits to see if the turning is successful first.

One of the skeletal bulks faces him and strangely speaks and you can all hear it say, "Uyness plagues us even in Death! How is this so?" It gestures to the skull whistle with it's sword.

Another replies, "Why does the Fifth care now? She won and took her prize."

More general murmuring as they move to advance. This is greatly distracting as they rise and face the noble Balician warrior psion. The spectral horns of battle sound with an inanimate hatred personified.

Two blows strike Attilius' armor as he passed by to let the others through. He is unharmed though.

Various spells are successful. Niachi's bone club, Quila's Call Upon Faith and 'Muiko's Slow all are completed without interruption.

Attilius strikes the same foe twice... barely dropping it.

Skrye on manages to force two of the seven remaining foes to turn away, towards the trapped magical door in the south.

This happens slowly as Umbris' sling attack bounces ineffectively off the dome of one of the undead warriors.

And then Coden blows the whistle. An eerie pale green light emanates from the tiny skull whistle, striking fear in all the remaining foes...

And Attilius. He drops his gouge and tries to hide behind his shield in the north west corner. (I rolled successful saves for the rest of you.) Three of the retreating corpses drop their blades to the stone floor. All of the remaining slowed corpses begin to follow the turned two towards the south end of the chamber.

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

Quila, feeling strengthened by her connection to her liege Oronis, is stirred by the orog's utterances. She sees the situation as one of massive potential for live historical knowledge gathering from those that were in Cleansing War battles themselves. She quickly pieces some things together from this and comes to a hypothesis in her mind that she acts upon.

Speaking to the retreating corpses, she says "Noble fallen warriors, your race was defeated then, just like the trollkin, but not by Myron nor Hamanu. But an Uyness. Of Waverly perchance? And you speak of her using an ordinal, the Fifth, which would suggest the Warbringer had many more Champions. What do you know of them, and how can we tell the story of your deeds and ancestors so you are not forgotten? The wars were over 2,000 years ago and history speaks little of your people right now. I want to correct that."

(OOC: Bob, I want to use my Call Upon Faith bonus in an attempt to put an overture to the orog dead in order for them to share any historic information at all. Is that a charisma check? I rolled a clean 15.
Also, I will use all information I have as Chronicler/Kurnan Spymaster based on their prompts and feed it back into the convo.)

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

- Skrye approaches to one of those swords and takes it, then moves the others towards where the party is, by kicking them to avoid the skeletons to have an easy way to recover them

[OOC: Initiative 4,Read Magic (10rnds),
AC 3, 48/48HP; SPELLS 1stLvl(4/5), 2ndLvl(5/5), 3rdLvl(3/4), 4thLvl(3/3)]

[DM Bob]

As the corpses slow scramble to leave with nary a regard to anything but the hostile magics of the whistle and while the goliath cries in the corner, one barks out:

"Disturb our rest and call us noble? Everyone knows that the Warbringer's forces worked in tandem, much as we all did against him. Myron turned from that charade and fought for us. We still lost. With dignity up until now, yet you soil our tomb with your hubris."

The first two turned dead disappear upon touching the south doorway, in a flash of purple & yellow light.

[Umbris (AC 2 | HP 37/37)]

The halfling, when he can, goes and darts under the Half giants shield

"Hey big guy, Ill make fun of ya later, but do you maybe want to put your ballsack on and get back to work with that pretty weapon ya got?" 
He'll tease, trying to snap the giant out of their fear

[Attilius]

The giant tries to shrink down as small as he can into the corner to hide behind his large tower shield then whispers terrified:
"Nnnn... NO! Th... That... SOUND! And g... ggr... greeeen light!"

He quickly pulls the shield over his head to hide his face.

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

round 2

initiative 8 (rolled 9, -2 dex, +1 spell)
cast Remove Fear (lvl 1) on Attilius.

"By the power of Kurn, cast off your fears Attilius" Quila shouts over the din in the small room.

(OOC: Attilius gets a new saving throw, this time with a +4 bonus)

[AthasianLaborer]

If Detect Magic is still up and 'Muiko can see the flashy door the orogs disappeared into, he'll relay what schools it is.

If not, he'll cast Detect Magic once again to scan the area with.

Round Two Initiative: 9 (rolled a 9, -1 for Dex, +1 for Casting Time)
Intention: Cast Detect Magic and watch the door (and stay out of the way of the combatants)

[Umbris (AC 2 | HP 37/37)]

Round 2 Init: 3 (6 + 1 from Bards Friend - 4 From Dex)

Is just going to stay with the Half Giant for now, patting their leg comfortingly as they whimper in fear. He is, however, going to quick switch to his silver bladed Bard's Friend in order to defend himself if the undead come near, seeing that the earth shaman is speaking with the foul smelling jerky bones

If possible, will attempt to Hide in Shadows behind the giant

(HiS 15/95, Succeeded if allowed to hide from the undead)
