"Fat lot of good you are doing me..."  Manny complains to Thia as they cower and see the spears take out two of the villagers.  "I don't see any riches yet..."

"Shut up you fat idiot."  Thia growls at him, nearly driving her dagger into him. She grunts though and the two head off to follow the squire forward.

Hilda sighs, and, with yet another heaving sigh, follows the others forward.

Victor, Jed, and Red all crowd into the entrance of the new room.  Peering at the floor, Red announces to the group "Those look like burn marks of previous brave citizens who braved coming in here, ahead of us...."  Then pointing to Hudde the Lion, he calls out "You there, strapping young squire....You go first!"

Jed whispers to Red "Good call...this room gives me the creeps."

Suddenly, you hear a goose honking, piercing the scared silence of the room.  Popping its head out of Jed's (the wheat farmer) backpack, the goose starts calling to the duck.  "Mabel, get back in my pack, and shuddup!" Jed hisses at the goose, unsure of who is more scared (Jed or the goose).

Matthew rolls his lucky die on the floor, before perking up and looking over the right door, "Someone open that door! It's the lucky one!"

Not bothering to question it, Damien walks over to the right side door and pops it open to see what's inside. However, recalling what happened to the last man that opened a door without second thought, Damien opted to stand to the side of the door, beside it's frame and nudge it open while taking cover.

Ja looks from Matthew and his lucky dice to the door to Damien walking toward the door to Oliver. The elf shakes their head slowly, holding the longsword at ready.

The east door is open and you can proceed.

"Why did I agree to this..." Thia wheezes as she works to pat out the flames on her body, the falcon on her shoulder sqwawking in alarm.

"Because you are weak.'  Manny informs her with a grin.

"Oh shut up both of you." Hilda scolds them waving her hand at them with some clear agitation.

The three move on through the door.

AREA 5 - THE CHIEFTANS' BURIAL

This musty room is clearly a burial chamber. Seven shrouded alcoves hold piles of loose bones. Rusty arms and armor adorn the walls beside each alcove and funeral masks are mounted beneath the loose skulls.

The funeral masks show primitive, almost simian features on stern faces. The bones are not quite human. the limbs are too thick, the spines are too short, and the beetled brows jut out too far. 

The bones shake and rattle as you enter the room.

Oh ****.

Roll for initiative. (Roll a d20, and add the highest Agility bonus out of all three of your characters.)

[Initiative: 8]

Ja readies the longsword, the elf’s face reflecting the boiling anger of vengeance within. “For Jo,” he mutters quietly to Oliver. “We do this for Jo.” The elf springs into action not waiting to see the ostler’s reaction. 
For his part, Oliver wets himself, staring at the horrors ahead. He raises his BFS and follows the elf into battle.

Red & Jed's Danceoff: 15

Jed the Wheat Farmer runs into the room, screaming a war cry, that surprises even himself in its ferocity.  Not the strongest person in the group by far, he makes up for his weakness with his stamina and charming personality...and his attack goose, Honkychan.

Pitchfork Attack on Bones3: 6 Damage: 7

Red the Halfling Dyer was momentarily distracted by admiring the color scheme of the mosaic tilework on the floor in here, when he finally looked up and realized that a bunch of bleached bones were racing towards him.  "Those colors do you no good in this environment...you must let me swathe you in some wonderful silks later!" he calls out as he attempts to whack one of the skeletons with his staff.

Staff Clobber Attack on Bones5: 2 Damage: 4

Three Fingered Dwayne's duck, Mort, upon seeing Honkychan, let out a battle quack! Dwayne however was more apprehensive and clutched his pitchfork ready to stab whomever got close.

Huddle, upon seeing the horde charging them, calmly drew forth his longsword and prepared to bring the wrath of the Order of the Rusty Buckets upon these undead to prove he was worthy of the elevated enlightenment The Bucket was sure to provide him.
