Urgog and Zed take a left turn, and venture down the hall and move down a small set of steps to enter the Cult Initiate's Quarters. A wooden table and four chairs stand at the east end of this room. If they inspect the four alcoves western part in this room, they'd find they're just empty wooden pallets that were used as beds. As they spend time, the two begin to hear clattering coming from the other hallway that leads north.
Eldon just follows his companions shield and mace drawn - as he hears the clattering he just shifts to begin moving in that direction to inspect the noise.
Eldon can't quite discern what the clattering is, but Urgog's acute senses alert him that the clattering noise sounds like there's movement coming from the other room down the hallway.
The party presses on without hesitation. They move into the Northern hallway, and venture down a small flight of stairs. They enter a large room that has a well in the center. The well shaft has a 4-foot-diameter with a 3-foot-high stone lip which descends 30 feet to a water-filled cistern. A wooden bucket hangs from a rope-and-pulley mechanism bolted to the crossbeams above the well. They're five rooms within these quarters.
The clattering noise that was heard, is from the four skeleton's that are roaming around carelessly. The party has alarmed the skeletons as they entered the room as nobody opted to be stealthy. The skeleton's draw their weapons and combat begins.

Overcome with excitement and fear Kestrell dashes past his three companions, yelling "Cover your ears" as he goes by, then stops right past Eldon facing all four skeletons and let's loose with a Thunderwave. "Foolish skeletons gathered around the well."
[OOC] All 4 skeletons must make a Constitiution save of 13 or take 8 thunder damage and be pushed 10 feet away. On a successful save, they take half damage and aren't pushed.
Urgog switches to the hammer and glaive, then steps into the room and steps past Kestrell and faces one of the skeletons after Kestrells spell is unleashed (S4). He squares his massive furry shoulders and swings with both hands at the skeletons chest.
When Eldon moves to the side to approach the second skeleton, Urgog and Kestrell move down from the hallway and step into the open room. Urgog moves up to the fourth skeleton, and Kestrell stands adjacent to the second skeleton. While Eldon is attempting to strike the skeleton, Kestrell casts Thunderwave, which makes an impact on all four skeletons. Eldon was taken surprise by the thunderous spell which causes him to lose focus on his attack and the skeleton is able to block Eldon's strike. The fourth skeleton was quite affected by the booming thunder and Urgog wasn't as bothered by it. Urgog slams the skeleton viciously with his hammer and the skeleton gets smashed to dozens of pieces.
Zed and Cinna remain back in the hallway not doing anything in particular.
It now goes to the skeletons.
The third skeleton takes time to draw its shortbow and nocks an arrow. The second skeleton retaliates against Kestrell via swinging its shortsword at him. The first skeleton moves up to Eldon and will strike him with his shortsword. While the first skeleton moves to Eldon, the third skeleton fires an arrow at Urgog.
The second skeleton seems to have been a bit slow from the damage it's endured, and Kestrell was able to anticipate its attack to avoid it effectively. The third skeleton shoots its arrow at Urgog, but Urgog manages to swipe the arrow out of the air with a meticulous swing of his warhammer. Eldon is the unfortunate one, as he hasn't quite recovered from Kestrell's Thunderwave and the first skeleton was able to land a massive strike against Eldon as the skeleton's shortsword tears into Eldon's armor and lacerates his flesh deeply.
We now go to the second round. It's the party's turn.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Urgog moves forward, his eyes promising death to the skeleton that dared to shoot an arrow at him. He turns slightly sideways as he moves up to the skeleton (s3) and with an upward swing he turns his body to get more power into the attack.

Damage:15

Zed sighs and holsters his crossbow, then draws his short sword and moves forward to the bottom right side of the well. He rears backwards with his sword and stabs the chest of the skeleton. (S3)

Zed awakens from his stupor and bolts down the hall to rendezvous with his companions. Cinna remains in absolute shock as she hasn't budged at all. Urgog moves forward with his hammer and strikes at the skeleton while Kestrell is insulting another skeleton while lacing his words with psionic magic. Eldon swings his mace at the same zombie, but the zombie manages to avoid Eldon's strike. After avoiding the strike, Kestrell's Vicious Mockery bounces around in its skull and it winces from the agony. The skeleton in front of Urgog gets struck by his warhammer. Zed realizes that Urgog moved into the space he was going for, so Zed has to move behind Urgog as he watches Urgog smash this skeleton to copious pieces as well. Since Urgog decimated this skeleton, Zed instead strikes the skeleton in front of Kestrell. Zed also slices off the skull of this skeleton and it crumbles to a pile of bones.
It now goes to the Skeletons.
The second skeleton raises it shortsword to strike Kestrell, and the first skeleton strikes Eldon again.
Eldon raises his shield up and blocks the sword attack. Kestrell was caught off guard and gets stricken by the withered blade of the skeleton's shortsword.
It's now the parties turn.
(OOC): I'll post Kestrell's action since he'll be away for the weekend. I realize now I forgot to have S2 roll with Disadvantage.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Urgog looks back at Zed, "Nice of you to join us." Nods at the skeleton attacking Kestrell. "It said your mom was a tavern wench at a 2 bit tavern." Urgog moves around the well to the skeleton in front of Eldon and smashes it in the back with his hammer.

Kestrell sighs when Urgog goes the opposite way, but follows behind Zed.
Eldon just follows his companions shield and mace drawn - as he hears the clattering he just shifts to begin moving in that direction to inspect the noise.
