Jovial Jungle Jaunt (ToA)

Nenne walks ten feet forward, hissing to Aoda, "Destroy any skeleton that survives!" and presents her holy symbol. With a furious censure of "Go greet your Judge," she channels divinity upon every undead in the room. 

There is a flash of red light and 5 of the remaining skeletons vaporize into dust. Aoda snaps his fangs at one of the remaining three to little effect. Both he and his master turn their vengeful gazes upon the rest.

A skeleton assembles atop the piles of bones in each of the cauldrons and leaps forward to join the remaining two. Aoda's mass is too easy a target for their bone weapons - the serpent gets hit twice by the foul creatures (8 and 5 bludgeoning damage).

Lemon stomps and spins, whipping his new form's tail about, never letting the skeletons get close to him.

Allister moves to intercept the creatures harrowing Orvex, but only manages to destroy one before he has troubles of his own. A skeleton approaches the warrior from behind. Allister fends off several of the skeleton's attacks only to turn back to Orvex getting a bloodied nose by the end of a knobbly bone.

The hair on the back of Boosey's neck stands up and he turns just in time to duck under a side swipe attack. The gnome runs a circle around the skeleton as the strikes come in behind him.

Paying too much attention to Orvex's predicament, Nenne pulls her shield up too late to block a hit on her shoulder(6 bludgeoning damage). Even through the armor, that one is going to bruise later.

The attack from the Skeleton distracts Boosey, and he doesn't quite cast dissonant whispers as cleanly as he should have.  The bones barely notice the crack inside its skull and continues to attack the gnome.

"These things are going to keep coming at us," he shouts to everyone.  "We need to group together or we'll get overrun.  There could be hundreds to deal with!"

Noticing there may be no end to the skeletons he fires another arrow through the skeleton that attacked Nenne. Pieces of bone go flying in all directions. “Lemon, does Papazotl know how to end this?” He draws another arrow while inspecting the room for any signs to stop the creation of undead.

The bald dinosaur looked at Glimbul then back at the skeletons. It seemed as if he tried to speak, yet could not. The dinosaur made a couple funny growls and mumbles, then proceeded to attack another skeleton, attempting to eat it whole once more just as the last one (D9).

Attack: 9 Damage: 10

The skeleton slips out to the side just in time to avoid being obliterated by Lemon's snapping maw. The warrior image decorated on the shield animates. The picture moves as if the artwork were throwing a spear towards the viewer a lance of enwrgy comes flying out of the shield to pierce the side of Lemon's ribcage. The reptile roars out in agony (19 force damage) as it coils to inspect the wound. The javelin thrower in the shield gathers up a second spear to throw at Lemon.

"I cannot censure hundreds of undead!" Nenne cries out. Her eyes grow wide at the conjured lance - and narrow as she regards the cauldrons. "Conjuration magic," she reminds herself.

Pointing a finger at the cauldron near Boosey, she says, "Desist!" and casts Dispel Magic. To Aoda, she instructs, "Destroy the cauldrons! Perhaps it will stem the flow of undead."

The giant serpent obeys, lashing out at the cauldron next to him. (Attack: 24 Damage: 16)

The serpent plows into the glass cauldron, but it doesn't give an inch. The sound of mighty fangs scrape across the glass, screeching through the room. The skeleton emerging from the cauldron Nenne targeted falls to pieces back into the pile.

Allister slashes the skeleton near Orvex across the neck, severing its head. As he turns to attack another skeleton the skull lands between his feet. He trips over it, nearly catching a skeleton‘s bone club in the face. 

More skeletons pour from the cauldrons attacking furiously with their bone weapons. Orvex goes down in a heap under one of the blows.

Glimbul seeing one of the cauldrons break decides to change strategy. "Take out the cauldrons then after they are destroyed we can deal with the rest." He fires an arrow into one of the cauldrons going through it and causing cracks, but unable to destroy it.

Boosey, still engaged with the skeleton, decides that it'll be best to try and stop the magic from the cauldrons.  He casts dispel magic shouting "cease" to one of the cauldrons on the back wall of the chamber.

Lemon the dino watches in horror as his favorite old man falls. In an instand he reverts back to normal and yells, "Ye wait bird! Me friend is in danger!"

Lemon outstretches his hands and warmth pools through it and into Orvex (Healing Word).

Lemon then turns to the closest skeleton and yells, "Fer ye Orvex!" (D9)

Healing Word: 13

Club: Attack: 21 Damage: 8

Lemon's club comes up right before the dwarf gets nailed in the side by the sheild warrior's spear (16 force damage). The impact sends the dwarf stumbling to the side, his club never coming close to the skeleton.

"Aoda, regenerate and attack that cauldron!" the cleric calls to her serpent as she falls back to stand beside Glimbul (G3). The summoning animal, obviously bloodied, reverts briefly to its staff form and emerges once more, completely healed. It then bites down on the cauldron beside it. (Attack: 16 Damage: 13)

Facing three foes Allister wastes no time to decimate them. He stabs one through sternum and backbone, as he pulls the rapier out the skeleton breaks in half. He paaries another skeletonˋs attack with an upwards slash that severes the arm and breaks half of the skull off. He uses the space he has to walk to the middle cauldron on the right side and hammers the hilt of his cutlass against the glass.

Allister's cutlass pierces the cauldron on another side from where Glimbul's arrow struck it, but these things are made tough. Cracks spider around the thing from the gaping hole to meet with the others, but the cauldron remains spewing skeletons.

Boosey is caught so off guard that a skeleton crawls out of the top of the cauldron Nenne temporarily suppressed, that it's too late before he realizes that he is surrounded by three of the undead creatures. One, two, and three times he is hit with the skeleton's bones (8, 4, and 4 bludgeoning damage).

Allister's remaining foe is joined by a second, but the fighter just laughs at their attempts to harm him. The seasoned warrior parries their blows easily and kicks the skeletons to the side mocking their attempts.

Lemon realizes he is in trouble as the skeletons close in on his smaller form to deadly effect. Four of the five skeletons manage to get a bone cracking down onto the druid somewhere, sending painful explosions through the tough dwarf (7, 5, 5, and 7 bludgeoning damage). Orvex blinks his eyes open to see the horror unfolding in front of him. He tries to yell out for Lemon to be careful, but his words are fruitless.

Aoda manages to evade two of the four attacks coming at it (5 and 4 bludgeoning damage), but suffers some minor injuries.

Desperate to destroy the cauldron he fires another arrow into the the same cauldron. To his delight, the cauldron gives way with this attack and shatters.

With three skeletons around him now, Boosey panics and releases a blast of thunder (thunderclap) into them, causing a wave of sound to echo loudly round the chamber.  Realising that Lemon is in trouble too, he sends healing word his way, healing him for 7 HP.

Growling through the pain, veins once more pop out of his neck and he gives a point to the shield and yells in dwarvish.

He then gives a glance to Nenne and nods, giving her the cue that he'll act when she is ready (Hold Action till after Nenne).

Before he waits however, he places a hand on his chest once more heals himself (Healing Word). He looks to Orvex and mumbles to where only he can hear. He then waits.
