Taking in Xander’s information and seeing that the creatures were not quickly advancing forward Havoks lower hand lights up once more in arcane fire and shoots an eldritch blast towards the wight (att21, damage 10) the reddish purple flaming beam races through the darkness slamming into the central figure.

The eldritch blast slammed headfirst into the wight, making it stagger back to keep its balance. It resumed its stance afterwards, but it looked as weary as an undead could be after being hit with a full-contact eldritch blast.

It is now the skeleton's turn, and the skeleton moves back into the darkness, going out of sight.

It is now Jean's turn

The arrow flew true, striking the skeleton in between its empty eye sockets. It recoiled, before regaining its composure. The wight stepped forward, gesturing for the fleeing skeleton to return to combat. It moved forward, right around 15 ft., then readying its weapons.

It's now Xander's turn

Xander looked at the others. let's move up slowly , that wight is smart. Xander moves up 20 feet.

The dagger flew through the air, embedding itself into the wight's shoulder, breaking through some rust on its armor along the way. It snarled, turning its attention to Zephyr.

It is now Katherine's turn.

More bells rang out through the passageway, but unlike last time, the skeleton was able to steel itself for the spell's effects, being unaffected.

It is now Havok's turn

[Grimaximus]

Havok runs up next to Zeph, training his eye on the wight chanting under his breath, his sword glows blood red and a red mist travels from the sword surrounding the wights form (hexblades curse). He then lets loose another purplish red flame blast towards the wight(18 to hit, 14 force damage)

The wight recoiled strongly, and nearly lost its footing. Now looking much rougher for the wear, the wight steeled its gaze on the heroes, a murderous look burning in its eyes. Meanwhile, Skeleton 1 reluctantly stepped out of the darkness at the wight's beckoning, but doesn't go any further.

It is now Jean's turn

How far away can those bells be heard from?" Jean lets out another arrow at the reappeared skeleton, but the shot goes wide.

The skeleton watched the arrow go wide, and Jean could almost feel a smug smirk coming from the skeleton, despite the lack of facial muscles. The second skeleton runs up and thrusts out with its Augustan sword, right at Havok, but it was deflected by a quick parry from Havok. The wight came up to Zephyr, swinging its sword multiple times, each one being blocked by Zephyr's shield. The wight looked very frustrated at this point.

It is now Xander's turn

[gryffydd65]

Xander swings his war hammer at the wight. While he knew the blow was solid, the wight seemed to shrug off most of the blow.

Zephyr repeatedly stabbed it in its face, as Xander swung his hammer, but the result is the same, and the wight remains mostly unfazed.

It is now Katherine's turn.

The three now glowed with a faint white-gold radiance, as the blessing prayed for them took effect.

Havok slice’s at the cursed wight’s neck. (21 atk, 20 dmg) then raises his shield to hold the line.

The slash struck true, the silver blade slicing right through the wight's neck. It dropped, rolled along the stone floor for a little bit, and then came to a stop. The skeletons took a step back, before they readied themselves, a flick of... something appearing on them. The first skeleton ran forward, bringing its rusty sword down on Xander.

The skeleton raised its tower shield in time to intercept the arrow, which embedded itself into the wooden face of the shield. Skeleton 2 then took the opportunity to thrust out with its shortsword, jabbing it towards Havok.

With a mighty swing, the hammer struck the skeleton's head, cracking it, and sending it streaking toward the ground. The rest of the skeleton collapsed in a cloud of dust, leaving a heap of bones and rusted armor. The other skeleton somehow seemed unfazed by its comrade's second death, keeping its weapon ready.

It is now Zephyr's turn.

Zephyr easily was able to maneuver around the skeleton, and drove the dagger through its rusty helmet, straight into the skeleton's skull. While that wasn't enough to kill the skeleton, it did indeed falter, and it noticeably looked weaker, if a skeleton could look so.

It is now Katherine's turn.

Katherine draws her mace and marches toward the skeleton, attempt to bring the mace down between its shoulder and spine.
