laid back apocalypse

Reghys, hearing the clash of swords, has their flute ready within seconds, and as they and Xalkas speed up to their elven warrior, Reghys plays a bugle tune, before shouting: "The cavalry is here!"

Take a die of inspiration from Reghys, Kerric!

The last skeleton swings at kerric as well. Attack: 21 Damage: 5

Kerric is up

Kerric:

After trying to dodge twice and failing, Kerric is reeling from two wounds.  He rounds on skeleton number one and slashes at it with his Elven Curved Blade!

Elven Curved Blade:  Attack: 17 Damage: 11

(If the next skeleton swings and hits, Kerric will Parry.  If it doesn't hit, he will Riposte and use the Inspiration as necessary)

Kerric rips the left arm completely off the skeleton. As it staggers back from the blow a couple of ribs fall off as well

T'chal'fronack'zcinicker casually strolls in, "How'd you get in here without the rest of us Kerric?  Naughty boy."

He fires his hand crossbow at a skeleton.

Attack: 14 Damage: 7

Tchallotsmorelettersandpunctuation's quarrel separates the head from the spinal column of the armless skeleton killong it

Xalkas comes into the last chamber, panting heavily. “Why... did ... you ... go... ahead... without... us?” He manages to get out just before sending a ray of frost towards the remaining skeleton. Then spends the next few moments trying to recover his breath. 

Attack: 25 Damage: 15

The last skeleton stops. Then cracks appear over all the bones amd it collapses in a heap

Quote from NathanPizazz >>

T'chal'fronack'zcinicker vows to come back with a mirror.  And also to purchase a mirror.  Dissatisfied with what he believes to be a complete bust follows Xalkas back the way they came and then follows him as he explores the last unexplored tunnel. 

  OOC:  I thought most everyone was already headed this way.

Kerric:

"Well, I *was* just scouting, but my attempt to discern which of the bodies were undead was a bit loud, I suppose," offers Kerric at Xalkas' protest.  "I'll try to keep in mind those with a slower stride next time, but you did show up just in time to explode the last one," he adds with a disarming smile.

T'chal'fronack'zcinicker does a fist pump, "On the board. No donut for me suckers!  Have we explored this whole place yet?  That delegation from Miribar isn't going to annoy itself with lots of questions about boring dwarven history books and trade bars!" 

Reghys beamed T a hearty smile: "What do you say, mess with them together?"

Kerric:

Taking a moment to breathe deeply, Kerric looks around and says, “Yes, it appears we have eliminated the last of the necromancer’s minions.  We should return to town after we have searched for any useful items here.”

He looks around for anything useful and inspects his wounds, washing them out with water and binding them up as best he can to prevent infection.

Perception:  12

Seeing Kerric bungle his wound-binding, Reghys goes over to him: "Allow me." Then, the bard hums a comforting tune, as they stitch up the deeper cuts.

I'm using song of rest, so anyone recovering hitpoints can add 1d6

Hit dice: 10

Kerric:

”Thank you, Reghys,” says the elven warrior.  After resting for a while, he feels better.

Short Rest:

Spend 1 HD and get song of rest:  5

Song of Rest:  5

I feel strangely comforted by your song Reghys. Now let’s search this area and make our way back to Red Larch. I tire of being in this cave of undead creatures.” Xalkas says as he begins to search the remains of the skeletons for anything T'chal'fronack'zcinicker might be able to sell. 

investigation: 18

song of rest: 5

Ebele would simply take a seat as Reghys would tend to the group with his soothing melody. She'd rest her head back and take a breather.

Song of rest HD: 3

there is nothing of use within this room,  it just seemed to be a storage of sorts

Kerric:

After resting briefly and recovering ( with perhaps some lunch too), Kerric will stand up and say, “Well, we saw no sign of the cult here that I can tell.  Shall we circle the ‘Rock once to make sure there is no other nefarious activity then head back to town?”

T'chal'fronack'zcinicker looks around, "Oh, we're taking a bit of a breather first before heading back?  Very well.  Oooh, those wounds look bad. Well Kerric, and all of you, let me certainly say that your battle today has certainly fulfilled the spirit of our contract. And indeed, the spirit of a contract is as holy to me, as the halo is to its wicked angel. For me, to have travelled here with each of you and seen how eager you are to fulfill the terms of a contract that you, technically, haven't even signed yet, warms my heart. I look forward to fulfilling the terms of contract that are yet even unstated or unimagined in the days ahead."

(This "inspiring" speech provides you with an ADDITIONAL 1d6 healing as well.  AKA Song of Rest SOME MORE.)

After the rest and a bit of a snack, he responds to Kerric, "For certain.  Though, may I suggest we consider making this place our personal headquarters for local operations?  It seems quite lovely. No no, don't answer now, just think on it.  Lead away Kerric!"
