(The slide across the floor is more akin to a baseball slide, or when mystique slid under the closing door in the third X-men movie. Not like sliding across the floor in socks, lol. My fiancé pointed out that I should probably clarify that. Mechanically, all I did was move and then make my weapon attack, followed by my bonus action for my unarmed strike.)
The elf quite gracefully enters the battle. It almost seems as if she hovers along the floor, but she's actually sliding across the surface and ends up in the middle of the 3 wounded skeletons. Her staff smashes into Skeleton 2's chin, popping the head right off. The headless skeleton drops. Skeleton 2 is dead. In the same moment, she uses the staff to vault herself into a kick which actually shatters skeleton 1's spine in two, and then the entire body also cracks into pieces. Skeleton 1 is dead. This happens in a split second, and you all see a faint cloud of bone dust from the carnage that this new person has just unleashed.
Skeleton 3 is still standing, but not moving, and still a bit on fire. Its skull is cracked down the middle and the rock from Ignatia's sling from previous is still stuck in the skull.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Renny looks momentarily distracted by the flare this elf has... but then remembers there's still one skeleton and tries to smack it in the face with another fire bolt.
Attack: 19 Damage: 4

"No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow" "No power in the 'verse can stop me"
Renny's Fire Bolt doesn't have far to travel to hit the last skeleton, and it does just that. The bolt connects square in the skeleton's torso, exploding the entire top half of the skeleton. The legs remain standing for 5 seconds, and then fall to the ground.
OOC- Combat is over! Welcome Sha' Lea! Please make sure to update character sheets at the end of every battle if not during. (used spells, HP, used features, etc.) I look at what everyone has left quite frequently in case I have to call an audible mid game. Thanks!
So.... bone fragments are shattered everywhere. The skeletons are dead. I will let you guys role play to get the new character involved, and maybe we can role play something funny about Karlina as to why she wasn't rescued after she died!?
" Thanks for the assist", Ignatia said to the elf woman.
She nodded towards Karlina, " Is she? Damn...should have brought a god-botherer with us."
Ignatia frowned, " It is an inauspicious start to lose a companion so early into a venture. Still, she can remain here undisturbed for now....perhaps she has rich friends who can pay to have her walk again?"
Ignatia ventured into the room, knelt down and closed Karlinas eyes and then continued towards the harpsicord; inspecting the instrument.
Flynt nods to the elf woman. "Yes, your assistance was of great help and you will continue to be of help to us." He glances at Karlina. "Such is the way of the battle. It is not easy to lose a companion ... even if you only knew her for a moment."

I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
Sha' Lea (pronounced Shay-Lee-Uh) stands by the bodies of the skeletons for a second, awkwardly not knowing what to say about their fallen comrade. Eventually she speaks but her voice is lot softer than it was during the battle.
I am sorry for your loss. Losing a friend is... never easy. If you need, I can help with the costs of her resurrection, or burial.
She shifts her staff from a battle hold to a walking hold, and pulls a rolled scroll from one of her belt pouches.
I'm Sha' Lea, a bounty hunter from around Baldur's Gate. Please, call me Shae. I came here to find a half elf thief named Jorrus and bring him back to justice. I thought a "haunted mansion" would be a fitting place for someone to hide, so I approached the mayor about permission to search here. He told me of your mission, and asked me to assist. I'm more than happy to help. I only ask that if Jorrus "is" in fact here, that you let me deal with him, and make sure he doesn't end up dead. He's worth more to me alive.
Well, that went well, other than their friend being dead. Dammit Shae! You shouldn't have taken the time to investigate the damned living room!
The Shadar Kai takes a look at each member of the group, appraisingly.
From your actions in the fight, I assume we don't have a healer among us? That will make our mission difficult, to say the least. I didn't bring any potions with me, and I lack the skills to use spells. Who among you all is the leader? The mayor informed me of your names and your skills, for the most part. I was trained to combat face to face, so that those such as yourselves (she nods at Renny and Ignatia) can bring your magic to bear without being harmed.
Ignatia, as you venture into the room, you get a better idea of the room itself. It seems like a type of music hall, with a grand brass chandelier hanging from the ceiling. Upholstered chairs line the walls, and there is more stained glass, this time on the walls depicting people playing instruments. There's a mantle, similar to the one downstairs, but this one is empty. There's also 2 instruments that you can see; a harpsichord and a harp.
As for the harpsichord - there's nothing special about it.
The noises you heard as well from the 1st floor after you came up to the second floor, have seemed to stop... for now.
Karlina's body lay limp on the ground, a huge gash to her torso being the killing blow. There's blood EVERYWHERE leaking out of her. She is white as a ghost. The skeleton bones are scattered and smoldering.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Shae takes the time to look around the room, looking for hidden areas and places a person could escape from, or hide.

As she searches, she addresses Ignatia.
We should discuss our abilities with one another, so that we can better destroy our enemies. What are your abilities? I know you wield magic, but that's all I was told. I'm glad to have the paladin with us, for sure. It's been my experience that dragonborn are reliable. And good allies.
Flynt's lips part in a smile. "Thank you and Bahamut's blessings upon you. I am not familiar with Baldur's Gate, but I may have to visit that city if we leave." He walks over to the harp and gently touches one of its strings. "A beautiful instrument. I enjoy a good, harping."

" Destroy our enemies? Can't say I've had much experience with that, generally I stick to investigating scammers, occasional translation work and a bit of ghost chasing."
" Someone comes at me with a blade and I'm standing behind you lot."
Shae - this is clearly a music hall. Many laughs and good times gone by were spent in this room... or were they good times? You hear faint footsteps coming from the floor above you, and you think you can hear something again coming from the floor below you. You find nothing in this room specific to hiding places, escape spots or hidden areas.
Flynt, the harp plays a beautiful sound when you pluck one of its strings.
FYI all - It's still a very bright sunset which is letting a good amount of light into the house still.
"Valuable skills indeed. Our mission will be easier with you. Especially if we come across something we can't read. I'm not well versed in many languages."
The Shadar Kai smiles at Flynt.
"If you're ever around, I'd be more than happy to show you around. Shevarash's blessings are upon us this day."
Renny walks up to Shae to give her a once over. Renny is a small human girl, probably barely of age and no more than 5'3 in height. She has shoulder length blonde hair and this close up, even with hair positioned to apparently mask it as much as possible there's a small golden shimmering texture to her skin running from her temples down the neck on each side of her head.
If she doesn’t find anything useful or important in the music room, Shae goes to the door in the north area and listens at them. If she doesn’t see or hear anything out of the ordinary, she’ll open them

Flynt still has Ignatia's Protection from Evil and Good activated, for 10 minutes.
What's next?
" Thanks for the assist", Ignatia said to the elf woman.
She nodded towards Karlina, " Is she? Damn...should have brought a god-botherer with us."

What shall we do about her, for now?

Shae smiles gently at Renny, but makes no mention of her golden shimmer or anything out of the ordinary.
"There's more to her than meets the eye, but who am I to make mention of it? My people are from The Shadowfell, afterall."
"Fire is good, in a combat such as one we just faced. Pleased to me you.

Every so often, you all hear songbirds playing their evening songs faintly outside. in a different reality, it would be the perfect evening....
The rest of the house awaits.
