Destin will launch himself, pulling his twin axes out, to strike at the skeleton. What I'd give for some maces right now, he thinks as he strikes at the skeletons.
Handaxe vs Skeleton:18 vs. AC. Hit:5 slashing damage. Handaxe vs Skeleton:16 vs. AC. Hit:2 slashing damage.
Destin vaults over the front line to confront the third skeleton, striking it a fearsome blow as he lands. His momentum carries him slightly off balance, and his second attack whistles harmlessly through the ribcage.
Hugging the wall, Tumal moves to I4 and once again extends a finger. A mote of light flies from his fingertip like a spark being tossed by the wind at the remaining skeleton.
Casmeonos spins from one attacker to another, striking the skeleton squarely on the breastbone. It wobbles, but does not go down, and its stagger allows it just enough distance to avoid, purely by chance, the beam of fire extending from the outstretched finger of Tumal.
Well enough, I think, Marrow answers Casmenos' question. He wanders over to where Destin appears to be randomly prodding various pieces of bone. Find anything? Errr, anyone?
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Cassyt moves up to help Destin and Marrow look, then, as if in response to the halfling's question, and before Casmenos can get all the way to the corner, more plaster blobs burst like horrible cocoons as 4 more skeletons drop to the floor.
Unlike the previous three, these were fully encased, and therefore had total cover, making them undetectable to the first round of divine sense. As strong as you are, they were supposed to come midway through the fight, and/or as you moved across the room, but you were far too efficient in dispatching the first wave, and then crossed all the way. Since I declared you out of initiatve, and it does not take any longer to do so online, I will reset here, and perhaps Destin will not get stuck with a 1:

Destin, seeing more skeletons abruptly joining the fray, moves to I6 in an attempt to block the undead from reaching the others for the time being. He'll then bring both hatchets into the skeleton in I5 as it is closest to threatening the others.
Handaxe vs. Skeleton (I5):12 vs. AC. Hit:9 slashing damage. Handaxe (off-hand) vs. Skeleton (I5):9 vs. AC. Hit:4 slashing damage.

Bastian and Destin charge two nearby foes. Undaunted, but perhaps overeager, their strong first hands both whistle harmlessly past bone, and, while their secondary strikes but find purchase, they appear to do minimal damage.
The skeleton Bastian struck attempts to return in kind: 15 Damage: 5
Another skeleton rushes up and swings at Cassyt: 15 Damage: 7
Impossibly, the skeleton speeds out from under the holy light to take a swing at Casmenos. 15 damage: 3
The skeleton's shortsword is easily turned aside by two parrying blades. Cassyt remains in the back, leaving Destin with the next opportunity.

Round 2 - quite a few can go...
Skeleton 2Skeleton 1Casmenos swings at the remaining skeleton.
Piercing Attack: 7 Damage: 8
Hugging the wall, Tumal moves to I4 and once again extends a finger. A mote of light flies from his fingertip like a spark being tossed by the wind at the remaining skeleton.
Fire Bolt Attack: 9; Damage: 7 fire damage
Casmeonos spins from one attacker to another, striking the skeleton squarely on the breastbone. It wobbles, but does not go down, and its stagger allows it just enough distance to avoid, purely by chance, the beam of fire extending from the outstretched finger of Tumal.
Marrow, face to face with the remaining skeleton, raises his rapier and stabs high, trying to pierce the skull: Attack: 7 Damage: 6.
Ahhh, I don't think that's going to work, he says, raising his shield up to protect against any retaliation.
Keksi fires another sacred flame at the skeleton for 2 damage if it hits.
Skeleton Dex: 10
The skeleton regains it's footing, and lunges towards the living before a searing bath of radiant energy forces it to the floor, still.
You are in the room (and hallway) but out of initiative.
Casmenos looks around at the others, "Is everyone well?"
Destin will brush the bones to the sides of the room with his handaxe. "If no one's badly injured we should move on."
Casmenos will cross the room towards the stairs to the east. He'll use the corner for cover and peek around.
Well enough, I think, Marrow answers Casmenos' question. He wanders over to where Destin appears to be randomly prodding various pieces of bone. Find anything? Errr, anyone?
