As you grab at the coffin, it bursts open, blowing you back against the far wall eastern wall of the crypt. Out of the casket rises A skeletal Knight clad in Polished plate wielding a beautifully crafted two-handed sword. The undead knight floats above the sarcophagus for a moment then settles to the ground and points his blade in your direction.
" A knight is warrior of virtue, courage and strength..." he says, and then he attacks

Daishi grunts in pain as the sword slams into his leather armor, the speed of the attack blasting past his shield. "I am not a thief," he says and counterattacks. His torch falls to the floor as he draws his sword.
Melee attack, shortsword vs. Skeleton: 18, damage (piercing): 5
He looks toward the blocked door, and seeing no way out, scrambles sideways along the wall to somehow flank this thing.

Riding Gotemash down through the Crags toward the relative safety of the forest, Peter's note-taking begins to slow.
"Blood Eagle..." he announces to Gotemash, "may find he has some strongly-phrased admonitions in my volume by the time it is finished. I knew he was a dissatisfactory fellow from the moment I met him! ...But yes, when we reach safety, we must rest, and gain our strength."
Skip would let out a chuckle as he prepared breakfast. "Yup, we need to get you your key and keep collecting coin for jaeson. Although I would think that everyone could have a share in what we find in there" skip would add with a smile. "We can help Yessica get what she needs and be back before lunch I hope!" He would finish with a grin.

Shmee? I thought the plan was to publish your book after we kill him? asked Gotemash, resting by jogging part way instead of running. Yes, we will walk for a bit after we get to Neverwinter Forest. It is I'm thinking 10 miles South of us, yes? Nature: 21
Jaeson wakes to the smell of breakfast being prepared. Sitting up and rubbing sleep out of his eyes, before stretching, Jaeson would lift himself to his feet. He rustled around in his pockets, to make sure it was still there. It was. Starting to become a ritualistic daily routine, that. He walked to his two partners in crime. "Morning, chaps. What's on the docket for today?"
"Jay, my friend, we are going to a shrine so I can talk to snakes. And I think this tall lady, this short lady, and this fury guy are coming too, and maybe a cat bat thing too. I'm not too sure. Ohh and the old lady that isn't an old lady is coming."
Tibby points at all of them in turn with his poking stick.
"He is calling Yessica an old lady because we found her when we were on a job to find an old lady.. it uhh.. didnt go well but we found Yessica and she is nice." He would add as Tibby addresses the group and answers Jaesons question. "Everyone fill your bellies!" Skip would say with a smile as he points his spoon towards anyone that hasn't eaten breakfast yet. "Sounds like we might need our strength if the wine shrine is full of orcs " he would finish with a look of concern.
Jaeson sits and eats quietly, thinking to himself. More numbers to add to their rag tag little group. Even if it was only temporary, there was strength in numbers. He remembered being quite worried for their chance at survival when it was just himself, Skip, and Tibby versus a group of bandits. "Should prove an insightful days work, if nothing else. Whatever kills the boredom."
"Yes, well those two outcomes are not mutually exclusive. I leave the specifics of the inevitable bloodshed to your Orcish expertise and brutish sensibilities."
Peter shares a ration from his pack with Gotemash, and scans the horizon ahead for any signs of the forest.
As Skip was cleaning off his cooking utensils from breakfast.. his eyes would go wide as he looks upon his large silver spoon. "hey... HEY!... I can read this!" He would say as he points to the brass celestial writing running along the handle of the large cooking utensil. "Haniel" he would whisper as he reads the words... "I bet that was her name.." he would whisper with a smile on his face before looking to the others. "Hey! can you guys show me other words in different languages? I bet I can read them as well!" He would say with a beaming smile.
Not one to miss breakfast, Bree would be up and having eaten her fill. She would then help clean up, since she did not do the cooking this time.
"Give me a moment to check over my spells..." She would say as she sits in a corner to read through her spellbook for a moment. Once done she would not and come back to join the group. "Ready then?" She would ask.
[OOC: DM, is it the case, then, that we all would have been able to get a Long Rest prior to whatever happens with the Orcs? Or just a Short Rest?]
Kuori, though initially wincing noticeably, calms almost immediately as Skip's magic sets her injured shoulder and begins closing her wounds. A gentle smile rests on her face as she leans back and closes her eyes. "Thank you, Skip. You're certainly a most gracious host to tend to your guests' spirits and wounds in equal measure."
Her small respite is promptly interrupted by Noa's grand re-entry. After greetings are exchanged and the map has been drawn up, Kuori would join Noa in poring over its details. "The tower guards, should it be possible to sneak in and gain the element of surprise, should be taken out first to help blind them from above. An excellent suggestion, Noa Gala-vahn! The two ogres will prove difficult, but not impossible, for a combined effort at the front line, especially if we can manage to secure the towers for our own ranged combatants." Despite the seriousness of the matter and the gravity in her words, Kuori seems little less than thrilled to not be alone in this, her element bar none.
Looking around to the others at the camp, however, she recalls that almost none of them have rested in most of a day if not more. "Any skirmish against these beasts will have to wait, unfortunately. To rush into battle unprepared is to toss away even a guaranteed victory."
Assuming that Noa agrees with this course of action, Kuori would join the others in getting a night's rest.
It's very early morning now the sun is not yet up as you make final preparations and a plan for your assault on the shrine. So far the Orcs have no idea there is an armed force In the area. The fog covered your entrance into the town and the orcs seemed to consider themselves secure.
With the map provided by Noa, Perzy'S would suggest assaulting two towers at once so when the alarm is called out they won't be trapped in on spot.
" if we can take the towers with stealth, we can position 2 goblins to provide overwatch and fire support. Any spell casters can also take advantage of the high point. The only problem I can see is if whatever orcs inside the shrine dont come out. Trying to assault them after they are alerted could be problematic..."

"So, when are we going to the wine shrine? I need to find a key so I can learn to charm snakes. A very useful skill when dealing with politicans."
Tibby finds his joke way more funny than it is.

Less talk,more run. Also, keep an eye out for a creek, please. They are useful for messing up trackers.

When everyone is ready to head out Bree will cast mage armor on herself.

( a long rest is achieved..)

(I thought it was morning now. If not, then Bree will still be sleeping. She went to sleep at 10 PM and will sleep until breakfast, so a long rest.)
