“I agree with Shamash, here. Let’s bring Iarno along, but let’s finish off these redbrands before interrogating our new prisoner.” Big Bear sets about readying himself to continue through the manor.

     Yed will humph an affirmative at Big Bear’s plan and will go towards Iarno, using his own 50 foot length of rope to tie the already restrained wizard onto his back. He hopes to do it in such a way that Iarno is in a fetal position and his face points away from Yed. So that whenever Yed is looking forward, Iarno is facing the opposite direction. 

(Essentially want to have him be like a little backpack on Yed’s back, tied up with his legs tucked in so he’s as small as possible. Not sure what rolls so I’ll give several DM, lmk if you need a different roll. If it’s not even possible that’s fine as well, Yed will just normally carry him then over one shoulder).

Intelligence (to figure out how to properly secure the wizard to his back using the ropes):5

Athletics (to carry his unconscious form around on Yed’s back):19

  He will then move and wait to follow the rest of the party.

After Yed “Yoda”s the unconscious Wizard, Big Bear looks around for the next exit on into the manor. PERCEPTION: 20

Yed ties the unconscious wizard to his back. The party has several options to progress. They could go through the door Iarno was fleeing towards, or they could go through the other secret door they found, or they could explore one of the hallways branching off from the large cavern.

Map (same as last time):

Doc will carefully open the door in front of him and attempt to hide upon entering.

Stealth:
9

Doc marvels at how absurdly loud this door happens to be.

The loudness of the door snaps Shamash to attention, and he will try and follow as closely behind Doc as he can, ready to help in whatever way he can.

Ridiculously, Shamash will try and do this as stealthily as he can in his ridiculous chain mail: (9)

Before moving on, While Doc and Shamash look out the door, Big Bear will check out the other Secret door really quickly, just in case it's less guarded. INVESTIGATION: 21

Surprisingly, Doc and Shamash's mediocre attempts at moving stealthily do not provoke an immediate reaction. The door opens onto a set of stairs which lead back to the main cavern. On the other side of the landing is another wooden door. Listening at the door, Doc hears a mysterious rattling sound, followed by shouts and groans and a sudden gabble of voice. 

Big Bear listens at the other secret door in the storage room. He can hear faint crying coming from somewhere on the other side.

Big Bear tries to get the party's attention, "It sounds like there is someone in pain behind this door, before we proceed, can we investigate?"

   “I’ve got your back Big Bear.” Yed will have his Warhammer in hand, muscles tense and prepared to spring at any threat that might appear once his Druid friend opens the secret door with the crying behind it.

(Prepared attack if anything rushes to attack Yed or Big Bear, if crying is harmless victim then he obv won’t attack)

Big Bear opens the secret door. On the other side is a short hallway with two more doors leading from it. One of the doors is locked, although the lock doesn't seem that complicated. The crying is still distant, but seems to be coming from somewhere behind the unlocked door.

Doc will motion to Shamash for the pair to return to the others.
Upon mentioned discovery of the locked door, Doc will pull out his toolkit and get to work.

Lockpicking (DEX + proficiency)
17

Doc takes out his lockpicks and opens the lock with relative ease. The door opens onto a small storage space. Racks of weapons line the walls of this chamber, including spears, swords, crossbows, and bolts. A dozen dirty red cloaks hang from hooks by the door.

Big Bear cautiously opens the unlocked door with the crying sounds.

Big Bear proceeds into the next room. Three large stone sarcophagi stand within this dusty crypt, and propped up against each sarcophagus is a human skeleton clad in bits of rusty mail. False columns along the walls are carved in the image of spreading oak trees. The double doors in the southeast corner are sheathed in tarnished copper plate. The crying is coming from behind a door in the Northeast corner.

A few seconds after Big Bear opens the door, the skeletons animate, picking up rusted swords and old hunting bows. They start to march towards Big Bear.

Initiative:
Doc Jennings: 17
Evzeen: 7
Big Bear: 21
Shamash: 13
Yed Orilo: 17
Enemies: 8

One of the skeletons walks right up to Big Bear, its limbs moving in strange ways. It lifts a broken longsword and swings at the half-orc. The animated bones fill up the doorway, preventing you from moving into the crypt.

Attack: 19 Damage: 8

The other two hang back, shooting arrows at the intruding druid.

Attack: 16 Damage: 8
Attack: 12 Damage: 5

(Everyone is up.)

Big Bear reels from 2 massive hits, and funnels that rage, wildshaping into a massive wolf. (Takes an action)

MAP:

   Yed roars in anger at seeing Big Bear get barraged with attacks, slipping into a mind numbing RAGE, and bull rush towards the half-Orc. He will then take a position in front of the party, so his hulking Goliath form can serve as a better target for the skeletons than his companions. He will then recklessly deliver a powerful overhanded swing with both hands onto the skeleton who’d attacked Big Bear with a longsword. 

RECKLESS

    Attack Roll: 25
    Damage: 15

Big Bear transforms into a wolf, his body growing fur and falling to all fours. Yed pushes his way past Big Wolf and swings his warhammer. Bones smash and go flying as the skeleton is disintegrated by the goliath's attack. Yed then rushes into the room to protect his companions.

(Doc, Evzeen, Shamash.)
