Skeletons in the closet

[CountFalchiezVander]

The order of initiative is thusly:

Magasark - 22
Skeletons - 19
Soolee - 13
Tharwin - 11
Narson - 7

[magasark]

Running through the open door, I let out a battle cry as I swing my sword at the closest skeleton.

OOC:
Attack:1d20+1=17 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1452807/)
Damage (if any):1d6=6 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1452809/)

[CountFalchiezVander]

Magasark:

The blade scrapes a bit of rotten bone from the rib cage of the skeleton, but does not seem to hinder it.


The skeletons move towards the dwarf and the monk, each swinging a scimitar at them. The first blade swings wildly, not even coming close to Magasark, and you hear the grinding of bones from its legs. The second attack however, smacks Magasark in the leg, just below the armor.

Att 1d20 +1= 17
Dmg: 2

The other two skeletons turn their attention to the monk
Att1 = 6
Att2 = 14

the blades fly at the monk, but his honed reflexes allow him to dodge the swords with ease. They stare silently at the party, prepared to battle to the last as it seems.

[Soolee]

Soolee hears the cry of battle and wisks by Narson ready to answer the call.

[color="#ff6600"]OOc: Soolee was 20ft behind Narson. Question How wide is the hallway?

[CountFalchiezVander]

Soolee:

The hallway is only 5 feet wide, but you can move through an ally's square with no difficulty. Your movement rate will take you into the room as long as Tharwin lets you pass, but it will provoke 2 attacks of opportunity, so it is your call.

[Soolee]

Soolee:

The hallway is only 5 feet wide, but you can move through an ally's square with no difficulty. Your movement rate will take you into the room as long as Tharwin lets you pass, but it will provoke 2 attacks of opportunity, so it is your call. [/b]



Soolee will move in behind Tharwin and wait to see if moves . Guess I will take action next round.

[Scorch]

I jump into a ready stance and easily dodge the skeletons clumsy blows, staying light on my feet I strike out towards the skeleton to my left. I attempt to smash into the creaking joints.

Tharwin:

The first blow lands solidly against the creatures spinal column, crushing through and dropping the bones about the floor, dust being disturbed and a small tinkling noise flows out of the room. The second blows finds home against the other skeleton's shield, cracking it and reeling the skeleton back a few inches.

Narson looks to the fray, and smiles to himself, then launches into a rather epic tirade of the glories of giving rest to those who cannot find it. The party now feels inspired to lay the dead to rest.

DM Note: You all get a +1 to attack and damage rolls, plus +1 versus fear affecting mind spells.

[magasark]

I again swing my sword at the skeleton in front of me...hopeing it hits as I am not very good with a sword.

OOC:
I swing at the skeleton I hit before or at the next closest one if that one was the one the monk killed.

Damage: 1d6+1=5 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1454592/)

[CountFalchiezVander]

Magasark:

Your blade swings, but the agility of the skeleton is most impressive as it deftly dodges to the right.

The three remaining take swings at the dwarf and the elf, as if trying to get to the paladin behind him.

Magasark:
Att1: 19, Dmg 5
Att2: 10

Tharwin:
Att1: 19, Dmg: 2

Magasark:

The skeleton you injured flicks his bony wrist and drives his scimitar into your side, while the other swings upwards, but far from your face.

Tharwin:

The skeleton lands a glancing blow off your shoulder, giving you a little nick.

[Soolee]

Contingency: Continue to fight

[Scorch]

Reeling back slightly from the blow, I lunge at the nearest skeleton and attempt to break its brittle bones in a grapple. "hah their clumsiness is no match for my speed!"

[CountFalchiezVander]

Soolee:

Your blade narrowly misses the skeleton, brushing off its shield with a shrill grating sound.

Tharwin:

You manage to grab hold of the skeleton, crushing some of the ribs. It struggles for freedom, but does not succeed.

Narson continues his tale, taking out his mace and preparing to do battle if it comes to that.

[magasark]

I again frantically swing my sword at the skeleton in front of me as I feel my energy leaving me.

OOC:
attack: 1d20+2=17 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1456742/)
damage, if any: 1d6+2=7 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1456743/) -1 (sorry, I forgot I only get a +1 there)

[CountFalchiezVander]

Magasark:

the skeleton buckles and collapses under your blade as you knock the skull off the spinal column.

The skeleton that is still standing free makes a swing at the paladin, who has now entered the fray

Attk1: 3

The scimitar swings wildly and misses the elven lady completely, as the torso of the undead spins a few inches in a circle, before resuming its battle stance.

The grappled skeleton attempts to damage the monk with a claw.

Grapple check:2

[Scorch]

As the skeleton struggles, I react quickly trying to avoid being scratched.

Grapple Check-Roll(1d20)+6:

Total:25

[CountFalchiezVander]

OOC: Tharwin, you have to wait till your turn to attack the skeleton, you just had to succeed the grapple to avoid being hit. Soolee goes before you, and then your grapple and damage can be counted.

[CountFalchiezVander]

DM Note: Soolee is having trouble accessing the forum, so I am running her for the moment.

Soolee flicks her wrist and brings the blade to bear against the skeleton,

Att: 15+4+ 1= 20

Dmg. 1d8 +3 = 6+3 = 9

The blade bites upon the ancient bone, shattering it easily, the right arm holding the shield falling to the ground with a clank. The skeleton still stands, staring at the paladin with empty eye sockets.

[magasark]

OOC: what is the deal...are we waiting for Tharwin to roll or is it my turn again and I just cannot see a post or two for some reason?

[Scorch]

:ooc: sorry my post didnt actually post, damn you IE.


As the skeleton struggles in my grip, I slam my head into its temple. Using brute force to smash it to pieces.

[CountFalchiezVander]

Tharwin:

The skeleton reels from the blow, as shards of its skull flake off onto the cold floor. It does not drop.

Narson then moves into range to swing at the grappled skeleton.

Att: 15
Dmg:4

With a mighty wail in the name of Garl, he swings true, smacking the skeleton with a mace across the back of the exposed ribcage. The crunch is echoed throughout the room, and the thing scatters to the floor, merely a pile of cracked bones and a scimitar. Only the one remains, battling Soolee.

[magasark]

I move within range of the skeleton that is attacking soolee and I swing my sword with all my might.

OOC:
Attack: 1d20+2=19 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1460361/)
Damage: 1d6+1=7 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1460364/)

[CountFalchiezVander]

Magasark:

Your blade thwaps the skeleton across the breast plate, crunching it, a new crack line appearing horizontally along th bone. It staggers, staring at you with eyeless rage, and swings at the paladin, as if commanded by some unforeseen directive.

Att: 18
Dmg: 4

The blade finds a weak point in Soolee's armor, biting her slightly as the skeleton pulls it back and awaits it next opportunity to kill the devout one.

[Scorch]

Seeing the skeleton catch soolee off guard, I dash forwards to strike with a flurry of blows.

[CountFalchiezVander]

Tharwin:

The first fist lands solidly, crushing the fractured skull into shards of bone, and the rest of the skeleton falls with a hollow crunching noise to the floor.

Here the battle is finished......
