New adventure

Splintered stone benches and heaps of rubble from a partially collapsed ceiling fill this room. Amid ruined stone bunks and toppled weapon racks are the bones of several dwarves and orcs.

The bones assemble into 9 skeletons as you enter the room.

Tyrus gets first attack.

"Skeletons! Follow me!"

Tyrus rushes into the middle of the skeletons as they knit themselves together, trying to engage in melee with as many as possible (will literally surround himself with all 9 if possible) and readies his shield, hoping to take the brunt of the attacks while his companions make quick work of them.

Action: Dodge

Boghadair continues to fire arrows at the skeletons wishing he could create an arrow that does bludgeoning damage.   He wonders briefly how hard it would be to tie a Pugilist's glove to the end of his arrow.

This chamber was once an office or storeroom of some kind. A large stone counter bisects the room, set with three dusty balance scales made of iron. Cubbyholes carved into the north wall are stuffed with dusty paper scraps. Several long-dead corpses — gnomes and orcs by their look — are sprawled across the floor.

Behind the counter is a locked strongbox.

"We have no keys. Thagakh will improvise using a very reliable technique to open the box."

Thagakh tries to open the strongbox with his sledge hammer.

Strength Check: 17.

The box is wrapped in iron and will require a different approach to open.
