A slight bit of disgust comes over Jackson's face as he looks over the cloaks, but he's for sure seen worst. He watches as Nil puts one of the cloaks on, nods, and follows suit. "Good idea, Nil. I'm unsure how many Redbrands remain here, but these may yet come in handy."
The group exits through the southern armory door in to the crypt. The stone sarcophagi sit in the middle of this room. To your left is a door that, accourding to the map, leads to the cells.

Looking to Jackson, Harukai speaks softly.
”I am reluctant to disturb the dead, but I worry that Iarno may have trafficked with undead in addition to his other crimes, and moving on would leave a threat at our back. What do you think, Brother Greystone?”

"That's a fair suggestion, Brother. It's entirely possible the wizard could have had knowledge of necromantic spells and such to enchant these. We should attempt to dispel it before moving on -- or at least, spring the trap, should there be one."
Jackson moves to the nearest sarcophagus and attempts to open it (unless anyone has the means to dispel magic).
Jackson steps to the nearest sarcophagus and begins to move the lid. The group hears a hollow clattering sound, coming from the shadows of the southwest corner of the room. Suddenly from the shadows steps three skeletons wearing patchy armor that is cracked and rotted in spots. They each carry a small wooden shield and rusty shortsword. Stepping into the light, they see Jackson, Nil, and Harukai wearing the red cloaks. They stop and eye the group (if they had eyes that is). They do not recognize the group but recognize the cloaks, they seem confused as to their next course of action.

Harukai nods silently to the other two, mouthing a countdown, "Three, two, one.....GO"
With that, he spins into action, swinging his staff in a spinning, two-handed swipe at the first skeleton's ribcage, then planting and reversing direction with a spinning side kick the other way!

Harukai rushes the nearest skeleton and with two rapid stikes, leaves a pile of bones on the floor. The other two skeletons react quickly to the attack
OOC: Well, he tried to time it...Initiative rolls tell the story, though.
Harukai continues to attack the surprised skeletons, wondering why his companions haven't joined the fight yet..."Maybe they wanted to go on 'one', not 'go'" he murmurs to himself.
An overhead slam with the quarterstaff is followed up by a simple front snap kick to the sternum of the skeleton.

A bit too focused on removing the lid from the sarcophagus, Jackson is a bit late to react to Harukai's countdown. He looks up from his task with some confusion as he just catches the moment Harukai takes out the first skeleton.
If Harukai takes out the second skeleton:
Jackson watches as Harukai makes quick work of their enemies. He looks to Nil, saying, "Well, it looks as if the monk has us covered. Go ahead and open up another one of these coffins and see what's inside. You can keep whatever you find!"
If Harukai doesn't take out the second skeleton:
Jackson watches as Harukai takes out one skeleton and moves to engage the second. He looks to Nil, waiting to see what the half-elf does before raising his hands off the coffin to cast Toll the Dead on the third and final skeleton. DC 13 WisST or take 2 necrotic damage.

Harukai follows up his attack on the first skeleton by turning and attacking the second one. He makes two rapid attacks on this skeleton and the bones disconnect from one another, falling into another pile on the ground. Nil attacks the third skeleton, but misses.
The third skeleton uses his shortsword to strike at Harukai, who has already killed two of his companions.
Attack: 22 Damage: 3
Jackson passes on his turn, this returns to Harukai's turn.
The third skeleton leans to the left just enough to avoid Harukai's quarterstaff strike. Harukai sees the skeleton's angle and his kick lands squarely in the chest. The rib bones snap under the pressure of the kick and the skeleton lets out an unnatural shriek, focusing its fury on Harukai.
Nil's scimitar strike badly wounds the skeleton, who is barelyAttack: 12 Damage: 6 hanging on. The skeleton takes a strike at Nil since he was the last to injure it.
Not sure why it went in the middle but it was a miss on Nil. Jackson's turn.

As soon as Jackson picks out the third ring, he looks up to see the battle still raging. "Appears my assistance is required, after all! Good as time as ever to try this new weapon."
New longsword in hand, Jackson grips it with both hands and move to strike against the remaining skeleton.

Harukai shrugs his shoulders and puts a cloak on as well.
“Sounds good to me. Let’s go.”

Jackson finds old bones and molded bits of clothing in each sarcophagi, but looking through each finds a total of three platnium rings worth 50 gold.
