Rhayna see that Ireniana is injured by the middle skeleton. She curses herself for her poor aim, and missing the target. She prays to the Goddess and heals Ireniana with Healing Word. (Heal: 8)

@Rhayna: Unfortunately I can't include this - Ireniana was injured after Rhayna's turn. Will have to be in Round 2. Perhaps when you declare your actions for a round, mention that you will cast Healing Word on any injured character that acts before you in the initiative order. But since it was such a nice roll, if you declare it in a future round, I'll take this roll :)

"Dammit. Move out of the way" Seeing Ireniana taking a good hit from arrows and know he is easily in range if this battled dragged out, moved into the room and cast burning hands to get as many skeleton as he can while avoiding Ireniana and Royan.

Dex Save DC: 15  

Damage: 8 Fire Damage. Half Damage if they save. 

Kaylyn calmly watches as her blast of energy hits the skeleton but see that despite a few hits it is still up.  She refocuses and sends another bolt towards it hoping to finish it off so the others can take the remaining skeletons out.

Attack: 21 Damage: 5

Rhayna see that Ireniana is injured by the middle skeleton. She curses the skeleton for being so flexible, and missing it with her flame spell. She prays to the Goddess and heals Ireniana with Healing Word. (Heal: 8 Thanks DM!!)

Rhayna walks back a little more, to make sure she is not in anybody's way. She sees that Kaylyn finishes off the middle skeleton, so she aims at the skeleton on the right, and tries to hit it with flames. (DMG: 2) 

Royan sees chips fly off the skeleton but it continues to stand. With fury he hacks at it again with his longsword. 

Attack: 12 Damage: 6

If 2 is already down then he will attack 3

Ireniana is going to attack the skeleton again with her short swords.

Attack: 14 Damage: 4

Attack: 25 Damage: 6

ROUND 2

Another crackling burst of arcane energy erupts from Kaylyn’s hand, penetrating the doorway and slamming into the large skeleton. Tough as it was, this last was too much for it, and it crumbles into a pile of bones. As Rhayna whispers her one-word prayer to Selune, Ireniana feels her wounds close and fresh energy pulsate through her body. Delighted that her goddess has answered her again, Rhayna calls on the flame from above to slay the skeleton on the right, but the undead creature barely shuffles out of the way. Unfortunately for it, it shuffles right into Ireniana’s path – her first sword penetrates its vertebrae, holding it immobile, while the second sword whistles down and slices the entire left side of the skeleton away from the spine. It too crumples into a heap.

The remaining skeleton remains undamaged, and as it prepares to attack Ireniana, Royan uppercuts with his longsword, severing its right arm. As the arm flies across the room, the arrow is released from the already-drawn bow, but it sails harmlessly over Ireniana’s head. Pushing his way into the room Kastix flanks the melee, and mid-charge with a half-twist of his body, he flings his hands out toward the one-armed skeleton. A sheet of fire erupts into the space between Royan and Ireniana, temporarily blinding those in the room. When the flame clears, a large black skeleton-shaped outline can be seen on the opposite wall, with a pile of charcoal where the skeleton used to be.

Nice work all. Three skeletons dead.

The two shortbows and quivers used by the first two skeletons can be seen among the piles of bones. The quivers each contain 18 rusty iron arrows, plus another arrow in a special pocket which looks polished and perfect, magically unaffected by age. The bow and quiver of the third skeleton was incinerated, but it also has 18 regular and one apparently magic arrow. Amongst the debris is also found 33 silver pieces and 13 gold pieces.

Feel free to claim any of the weapons and ammo, but I'll bank the coins until the end of the adventure.

Kastix blows out the last of the flames from his hands. He steps aside for a bit for the others to search the skeletons. Looking at the various arrows and bows "I don't need any of that. Don't even know how to use them properly," After everyone grabbed the weapons, Kastix will grab a few of the skeleton's bones and put it into his backpack. 

Edit: Where on map are we?

When the last skeleton falls, or more precisely, when it crumples into a pile of charcoal. Rhayna calms herself down, heart still racing. She thanks the Goddess for answering her prayers. She peaks into the secret room to see if there is anything interesting. She makes sure that the party is safe for now. She then opens her Journal and starts a new entry. "The Adventures Rhayna Nursk" She writes as the title for the new entry. "My colleagues back at the library will call me a 'scandalous liar'. I shall show them what I am made of. I just hope I am able to get back in one piece..."

Trying the map again ...

Kaylyn watches as the last skeleton falls. 

"I would say to check to see if they are truly dead but one would have thought they already were in such a state."

She says as she nudges the bones with one of her boots. 

She then looks around taking in the room.  The room was hidden for reason.  Perhaps she could see why.

Kastix will make his way back into the circular area and let out a deep breath before whispering to himself "I hate small spaces" He will then look around for any other ways out of the room beside the one they came from and secret room.

Perception: 13 

 Kastix will wait for the beefier people to be ready to go through the door. 

OOC: i feel like the d20s are trying to make up for d6s which rolled my stats. Aside one or two rolls, d20's have been rolling mostly south of 10 with my ridicilous stats mod pulling it over the line. 

It appears that the small room was originally an archery post, and the archer slits can still be seen in the walls, but are now filled with rubble. Perhaps these three skeletons were archers trapped in the room when the structure sunk into the earth. There doesn't appear to be anything of further interest in the small room, and only the two doors exiting the large circular tower room.

So, according to the map posted above, you entered via the courtyard on the east, and have discovered the secret room on the south. There are two doors on the western side of the tower room ...

Kaylyn will pick up the seemingly magical arrows if no one else did as she is drawn by their difference.  

Kaylyn speaks as she comes out of the small room,

"It would seem, if this small room was only an archery post, that the door to the left likely runs along the wall of this sunken fortress and the other door on the right would lead deeper into the keep. This is conjecture on my part but would seem to match up with what I know of castles and keep.  Which is little I will admit, but would seem to make sense to me."

She considers both doors.

"Perhaps the left door first?"

She offers this as a suggestion but makes no move to open the door. 

Royan steps up to the left door. “Some type of order for our search is probably a good idea. Let’s not go diving into the middle of the building just yet.” Cautious of doors now Royan ties his time to check it closely. He checks the door handle and frame before pressing his ear to the door to listen for any noises from beyond. 

Perception: 16

Royan detects nothing from beyond the door. 

Rhayna sees that Royan went to check on the door, and touches on his shoulder. “Here friend, perhaps the Goddess can offer some Guidance.”

(Sorry. I didn’t see the update from the DM)

"I can open the door from afar when you want to get ready," Kastix watches Royan put his ear to the door. Kastix prepares thaumaturgy to open the door. 

Edit: Kastix will cast his spell to open the door.

Royan takes a single step back from the door. “Ready.”

Rhayna will step back, the sting on her hand still fresh in her memory. She will let the folks that open dungeon door for a living do that from now on.
