As the metal touched the door the door suddenly melted away to nothing revealing a large room beyond.
The room is large and relatively bare. Huge tapestries hang from the walls, faded images that show great carnage and destruction; a red-robed wizard in a high hat dominates each of the hangings, crooked hands outstretched, face twisted into a wild, ecstatic grin. Undead creatures burst from the ground underneath his feet and fall upon villages, towns and cities. They seem to be celebrations of victories, or at least victories dreamed of.
In the centre of the room is a huge bone-wrought chair, the bones and skulls of hapless victims twisted and moulded into a throne so big that more than one person could be seated on it, and rotted furs, blankets and strips of what appear to be leather hang from the back and arms.
Seated on this throne is a large, red-robed figure in a high hat, hands gripping the arms as if in anger, the bleached white skull set into a permanent grin and the hollow eyes glaring with green light. With a creak and a huge puff of dust, the figure lurches forward and screeches: ‘ You are in the presence of Varrak Aslur, insects! Nothing will thwart my revenge on Chalice! Nothing and nobody!’
The floor erupts with stone and dust, and a dozen green glowing skeletons rise to attack!
Tom doesn't really know what to say in this moment so he just yells "Aaaaaarrrrgggghhh!!!!!"
Initiative: 19
For his attack (on his turn) he will fire an arrow with ruthless intent directly at the skeleton wizard leader!! Ideally Tom is at or near the entrance of the room, not in melee with any skeletons.
Rufus looks fearfully at the gathered forces in the throne room surrounded by the imagery of the destruction on the walls. Rufus says under his breath to no one in particular, "Ware the shoals lads."
Initiative: 13
Rufus moves away from the front of the party to distance himself from the imminent danger posed by the skeletons. Rufus singles out the skeletal wizard as the primary threat, besides perhaps the skeletons will become inactive if he is out down. Rufus stretches out his hand towards the wizard as an arc of electricity flies from his hand towards the wizard. Rufus is briefly buffeted by winds that swirl his clothing and hair about.
<OOC: Rufus casts Witch Bolt at the skeleton. Attack: 24 for 2 pts of electrical damage.>
Hatch really, really hates skeletal undead. "Die again you once dead rejects!" he shouts, going after the nearest skeleton in relation to the party with his battleaxe in both hands. "Everyone with range attacks focus on Mr Red Floppy Robes, and the rest of us will try and keep these bony jerks at bay!"

Tom doesn't really know what to say in this moment so he just yells, "Aaaaaarrrrgggghhh!!!!!"
He fires an arrow with ruthless intent directly at the skeleton wizard leader!! The arrow sinks into the bony shoulder.
In retaliation the robed figure sent a ray of loathsome green energy crackling towards Tom.
Spell Attack: 8 Damage: 12
( Con Save or Poisoned)
Connar laughs, his cockiness returning. "Good luck with that ugly, you don't even have eyes. Come on Tom, we can take him!" Connar laughs.
Connar fires an arrow but it thuds into the throne.

The arc strikes the skeletal figure but it seems little troubled by it...

"Everyone with range attacks focus on Mr Red Floppy Robes, and the rest of us will try and keep these bony jerks at bay!"
Hatch hacks into the charging skeletons but they avoid his blows.
Torrin rears up his scales glittering and his throat glows red for a moment before skeleton is reduced to ash by a gout of flame.
Rufus evades the two skeletons attacking him. He reaches his hand towards the skeletal wizard as lightning once again leaps to connect them across the deadly melee.
Rufus will use his action to blast the skeletal wizard with Witch Bolt for 9 pts of damage.
As Tom lands his arrow and the melee begins, he sees the magic skeleton fire the green energy towards him and it unfortunately slams into Tom's body and he falls to the ground, lifeless. He hasn't experienced this type of magic and stood no chance!
(The 10 damage put Tom unconscious. He only had 9 HP from earlier. I am not sure if you still need the CON save but here it is, along with his first death save!)
Connar curses at his missed arrow, but quickly puts his anger aside when he is rushed by skeletons. Sill wounded from the monster in the last room, his moves are uncharacteristically slow and sluggish. First one skeleton nicks his arms, then a second punches him in the face, then yet another one, catches his in the stomach. Connar falls without a cry, landing on the hard stone.
(He is unconscious.)

(Crap, we're just level 1 still right? I think Hatch is down to one hit point, two of our members were knocked out, and we didn't even dint these guy's)
Hatch realizes that they probably won't survive another round like this. He Lays Hands on Connar, healing him for 3 health (and Hatch is now tapped out on that front). He grabs Connar and starts dragging him out the door.
"Everybody out! Either we funnel them out the door so they can't surround us or we flee and regroup, but we won't survive if we press this fight right now," he yells as he tries to take his own advice and help Connar get out as well.

Crap - but in one round they reduced a bunch of us to low to zero hp. Even if we stay we'll be dead in one or two turns if it goes even half as bad as the last round...

Torinn stormed forward his scales glistening smashing the butt of his dagger into the skull of the skeleton in front, then spinning out another dagger towards the skeleton to his side.
(Did Connar regain consciousness since I healed him for a few points?)
Hatch sighed. Despite the utter and abject, objective ass whooping they just received, which had taken a serious toll on their health, his party still wanted to fight on. So he figured it was either die here or minutes later on his own. Might as well go fighting if those were his options.

Rufus stands defiant and lashes out at the wizard once again with the arcing blast from his Witch Bolt spell doing 11 of lightning damage.
He cries out to his comrades, "We'll give them the old heave ho yet lads! Taste the bite of the lash, ye pile of bones!"
