Sarmaris stands once more utterly confused as to what’s going on, he doesn’t even remember how he fell down again.

”W, w, what’s going on?!”  He stammers and shouts looking around the room.  He clocks one of the skeletal hands and fires his bow at it (assuming that’s the weapon I found).

Attack: 11 Damage: 6

(If there is somewhere he could perceive as being safer he will misty step there, otherwise stay put)

You aim your bow and take your shot. Unfortunately, the arrow misses by a fingernail. Based on simple logic, getting off the pile of bones seems like a logical decision. A silvery mist surrounds Sarmaris and a second later he appears next to the pile of bones.

(Cy, your turn!)

(ooc: not to sound cruel, but isn't Terbac dead? so won't get to act at all?)

 (ooc: Terbac is the character of GR_Mustang, not Secretfool. His character Petyeras went also down)

(Thanks for the explanations. Anything Cy can do to get Meagan back into business? Suppose not since she’s at 0HP. Will post more in an hour or two.)

(only with healing you can get her back, you can try to stabilize her with a medicin check. But this can backfire if you fail, or if she gets damage then she has to roll death saves again)

(just tried to figure out who's where, but according to the map, the claws couldn't attack me and Terbac at the same time, guess they had moved? I'm asking because I wanted to figure out if I can attack the one that failed to hide but I think that not, in case that yes, I'll attack that one, otherwise Cy waits for one claw to show itself. )

Some bone pile exploded, splinters hissing through the air like shrapnel, Cy just managed to avoid the larger ones. Though it appears not everyone was lucky, a female near him trembled when hit in the face. Out of desperation, he fishes a large bone from the bone field (free interaction?) just in time to fight off the claw that comes for him again, or is it another one? How many are there? Next to him, another claw ripped out the throat of an elf before both vanished into the mass of bones. Not knowing where to strike, Cy waits anxiously for a claw to show itself and intends to hit it hard with his newfound cudgel (readies action to slam the next claw that climbs out of the bones or gets visible by other means, ie. if someone tells him). 

He shouts back at Scar, "Aren't you a priest? Can't you turn them?"

(you are all pretty much close to eachother, except Sarmaris, who misty stepped out of the pile of bones. I will update a screenshot tomorrow. You can roll an attack as one is visible)

attack with club: Attack: 21 Damage: 4

(After the attack Cy moves out of the pile towards Sarmaris as fas as possible. Should an opportunity attack hit him, he will try to stand up and continue if able.)

You notice one of the claws failed to hide and you smash it with the just found bone. It stops moving.

After it goes down, you run towards Sarmaris. Two claws from the pile reach out for your ankles and try to make an attack.

 Claw 1: 10 Damage: 3
 Claw 2: 23 Damage: 8

Cy, while running away, got hit pretty severe as the claw rips open his ankle and he goes down. After the claws made their attack, everyone in the group sees where they are, they are no longer hidden.

(Cy, you get the condition: Major Internal Injury. Whenever you attempt an action in combat, you must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, you lose your action and can't use reactions until the start of your next turn. )

(Meagan, you may make a deathsave. Break that 3 in a row nat1 and roll a nat20!)

Here goes!!!

14

Whew!

You hit one of the claws right on the knuckles, you can hear them crack. It stops moving.

One claw remains, it turns and turns, trying to figure out who it's going to attack next.

Petyaras, you're up!

Luckily Petryeras sees the claws now, he throws another force bolt on the last claw.

Attack: 19 Damage: 7

Few time after he and his newfound companions have survived the undead attack, Cy found himself sitting next to a large campfire chewing on a bone. The chill, however, sits so deep in him that he doesn't seem to get warm, despite trying to inch ever so close to the flames. Luckily, one of his companions had leftover pork ribs with him, which they had warmed over the fire.  Not wanting to appear ungrateful, Cy didn't complain about that he thought they weren't done, but he wondered if no one else noted the taste of blood, it really was overwhelmingly strong to his senses. When he looked to the others, they were laughing, drinking and probably exaggerating their part in their victory. Still, somehow, he felt a distance to them. He couldn't really focus on their faces, let alone distinguish what exactly they were saying. It must be because Cy is so tired, he tells himself - A sudden burst lit up the campfire in such force it might almost wake up the dead, only it did not, could not. It did shook Cy, ending his dream abruptly and letting him glide back into the dull darkness of unconsciousness. He almost woke, and anyone who observed him in just the right moment could have seen a spasm going through the body of the miserable elf laying awkwardly in a pile of bones. 

(Sure hope so:P)

Petryeras shoots the last claw to smithereens! All the claws are dead now, but as you look around three others from your group are also down on the ground. They female half-elf is barely breathing, a bone splinter through her left eye. The other, Terbac, is no movement visible whatsoever.

... it is quiet, only the sound of some bones that slides of the pile, echoing through the room.

End of Combat

Cy, when you get back up, your side hurts when you move, pretty severe. If you turn fast it stings like hell, loosing control in what you were about to do. If you face another combat situation, you probably not going to survive. (you may also roll a deathsave)

Meagan, still unconscious, when you try to open your eyes, your left eye won't open and agonising pain can be felt in your left eye. (you may also roll a deathsave)

((Love the description/background snippets written so far. Will do something with that.))
((GR_Mustang, want to create a new character?))

(ooc: a brief pause in the action to roleplay the aftermath of the situation, even just a little... we did lose someone in this fight, and some of us are in rough shape, lol)

(this does set a more grim scene than most games doesn't it?)

 ((Absolutely, feel free to take a pause for RP, tend your wounds, etc.. And yes, this feels a bit more grim than most games. It's supposed to feel like that, if any has a problem with too much detail, let me know))

 (Does that mean Cy is back conscious? I thought he blacked out from the OA and keeps hugging bones just as Meagan. At least that was the motivation for the dream sequence.)

DS: 16

Sarmaris seeing the last skeletal hand fall lifeless breathes a sigh of relief and begins checking over his leg to ensure he is not in any danger.  Once certain he will not fall unconscious again his attention turns to the pile of bones.  "What is going on here?  I was in hunting in the woods then all of a sudden getting sliced up by bones."   He climbs onto the pile of bones once more and begins checking any of the bodies for signs of life.  

Petryeras gets up as well wondering just like the other what the hell is going on. "Who are you guys? And can anyone help those lying around?"
