"Let's keep moving, if they start to stir we should make for the door to the south, get through that and close them in, avoid any fights we can"

As they step into the room Tagret pulls the door closed behind him.

Tagret will keep an ACTION readied as they walk through the room.  If there is any sign of the skeletons animating, he will maintain readiness to strike at the nearest with his greataxe.

Tagret shuts the door behind you all, leaving Sildar and Gundren alone in the passageway you just left. As he makes his way through the crypt he notices that the lips of each sarcophagus is carved to depict a person. Two lids show male humans and ones shows a female human.

"I agree," Saravena replies stepping in front of one of the skeletons. "Its rather creepy to just prop up a skeleton like this. Do you really think they will move or maybe they are just here to act as a deterrent?"

Saravena looks the skeleton over for any sign of deterioration of the bones, trying to determine if the skeleton has been here awhile or if its something new. 

Investigation: 9

"What do you think would happen if I took one of the finger bones?" Saravena questions as she casts her gaze at the hand of the skeleton.

Saravena looks at the skeletons carefully. The bones of the skeleton look old and covered in dust.

"The skeletons are old so I do not think the Red Brand put them here," Saravena comments to the rest of the group without taking her eyes off the skeleton. After a moments hesitation Saravena reaches out and tries to pull off the skeleton's left pinky.

With minimal effort, Saravena manages to break off the skeleton's finger.

"Well, thankfully, these dead do not appear to be restless. Perhaps it's best we move on, lest you need more bones for your collection, Saravena."

Whilst Saravena busies herself with dismantling the skeleton, Tagret heads to the smaller door to the left and puts his ear to it briefly to see if he can hear anything, and assuming he hears nothing, goes ahead and opens the door, axe at the ready.

Perception: 10

"No no this should be fine for now," Saravena replies sheepishly storing the finger bone in her pack. "The bones just looked to be of good quality and age, ground up it could be useful in alchemical formulas."

When Tagret approaches the single door to the east, he triggers the dark magic on the skeletons and they spring to life. Listen through the door, Tagret hears the sounds of footsteps on the other side.

(Roll for initiative.
Skeletons: 10) 

Saravena Initiative: 17

"... Me and my big mouth."

Initiative for Maerys: 6

Initiative: 20

"....hell's....." Tagret hisses and swings his axe around, ready to attack

(Okay looks like the order is Saravena, Tagret, Skeletons, Maerys. Does anyone want to be the new boss of Bitenose?)

(Saravena could always use an assistant so she will take him in if no-one else does)

Surprised by the sudden movement of the skeletons and doubtful they are friendly Saravena lets out a surprised yelp before drawing one of her daggers with her off hand then slashing at the skeleton she stole the finger from.

Attack: 22 Damage: 7

Continuing to turn away from the door, Tagret takes a swing at the nearest skeleton, his great axe coming down in an overhead chop, a blast of divine radiance emitting from the strike as it connects

Great Axe Attack: 18 Damage: 11

Divine Fury 6

Saravena slashes the skeleton with her dagger. She strikes the skeleton and does tremendous damage to the skeleton.

However, Tagret manages to cleave the skull of the skeleton that he attacks, and topples to the floor in a pile of bones leaving two skeletons left.

The skeleton that Saravena attacked, returns with an attack of its own. It swings with its shortsword at her.

(Attack: 14 Damage: 6)

The second skeleton fires an arrow at Tagret.

(Attack: 11 Damage: 5)

(Maerys, it's your turn, or should I go for you?)

Maerys curses and waves her hands in the air, shouting an incantation as she casts magic missile. Three darts of shimmering magical energy strike the skeleton engaged with Seravena.

11 force damage.

The magic missile connects with the skeleton that was engaged with Saravena destroying the skeleton. Only one skeleton remains.
