The stab caught the skeleton off guard, the spear driving into the skeleton's shoulder. Skeleton 5 tries to retaliate, while Skeleton 6 holds its ground.

The skeleton, having seen Havok's movement, was able to quickly raise its shield to meet the eldritch blast, blocking it.

[LoneStarCowboy]

The skeleton managed to raise its shield quickly enough that it was able to block the dagger. Xander, meanwhile, steps up, swinging his warhammer at the skeleton in front of him, catching the skeleton by surprise, smashing its skull to pieces. The rest of the skeleton falls over, the frontline completely decimated

[Luccan]

Katherine steps past Zephyr and around the last skeleton, brandishing her spear. She stabs for its head with a fierce shout

The dagger struck the skeleton in the shoulder blade. However, despite the blow, the skeleton remained standing. Xander stepped forward, bringing his hammer down on the skeleton while it was preoccupied with Zephyr. The blow struck the skeleton's skull with full force, taking it off its spine with a loud crack, and sending it across the hall. All of the Augustan skeletons are dead, but something didn't quite feel right. A sinister presence crept into the passage while the fighting occurred

Jean Bijoutier Human Rogue AC: 15 HP: 15/15 PP: 19 PIv: 20 PIs: 14 Conditions: -- Concentration: -- Jean sighs in relief and starts looking around to see if any of the arrows he's fired are salvageable. He notices, to his surprise and discomfort, that his sigh isn't as relieved as it should have been. "So..." he begins tentatively. "We got 'em. Right? Go team?"

[LoneStarCowboy]

Xander grunted, putting his hammer back into the slot on his belt. "Let's not pat ourselves on the back, just yet. I feel as if we're not done in this place."

[whiteflash]

Jean Bijoutier Human Rogue AC: 15 HP: 15/15 PP: 19 PIv: 20 PIs: 14 Conditions: -- Concentration: -- Jean raises an eyebrow. "You mean... more skeletons?" He pauses. "So, maybe this is a dumb question, but... how do skeletons... happen? Do skeletons just get up on their own, in places where the gods aren't watching closely enough? Or does something have to... make them get up?"

[Luccan]

Katherine stows her spear and pulls out her mace. She uses it to point further down the corridor. In this case, I think the source of these undead lay further in she looks over her companions Who is in need of healing? I can provide some power still.

Or does something have to... make them get up?"

Through the discussion, you heard something... laughter. Albeit, not very human laughter. And the marching of feet. "Oh no, nothing of the sort..." a raspy voice slithered out. Coming into view was a floating... skeleton? Whatever it was, it looked like trouble, not in the least because it was flanked by a large contingent of Augustan skeletons and wights

[Ramsus]

Zephyranthes of House Rose Human Artificer AC: 19 HP: 28/28 PP: 9 PIv: 13 PIs: 9 Conditions: Aid (5/5 extra max hp) Concentration: -- Zephyr was considering opening her mouth to begin to answer Jean's question when a new, bigger, threat reared its head. Pushing herself to with sheer willpower, she steps forwards to form a line next to Katherine.

[whiteflash]

Jean Bijoutier Human Rogue AC: 15 HP: 15/15 PP: 19 PIv: 20 PIs: 14 Conditions: -- Concentration: -- Jean's jaw drops. He eventually closes his mouth, with some effort, and slowly puts his bow away. "So, um... wow." He starts lamely. "That's... a lot of skeletons." He makes sure to keep his hands visible.

[Luccan]

Katherine turns her head slightly to the group and whispers I don't know that I can turn this many. You should prepare to flee. Her hand locks around her holy symbol as she eyes the undead and projects What purpose do you have here?

[Grimaximus]

Havok Slowly walks up next to Zephyr and Katherine, keeping two arms ready but hidden, sword and shield up in a defensive stance. "This looks like it will be interesting" He mutters to Zephyr.

"Hmph, child's play." The... thing regards their skeletons and wights with an emotionless expression. "The Augustans sure were quick to leave this place."

The thing laughs mirthlessly before turning to Katherine. "What am I doing here? I'm here because my liege wills it so. I can ask just the same of you, so what is it?"

[whiteflash]

Jean Bijoutier Human Rogue AC: 15 HP: 15/15 PP: 19 PIv: 20 PIs: 14 Conditions: -- Concentration: -- Jean gulps nervously as he tries to work out what the tactful way of saying "we were hired to kill you" is. He quickly decides there isn't one. "There are rumors that this old castrum is... well, haunted. The Merchants' Guild wished for us to investigate those rumors." "I think it can safely be said that we've done our part of that contract. Perhaps we should leave, and not take up any more of your time, sir?"

The thing harrumphs, but does no more. "The Merchant's Guild of Glitbury, I presume..." the thing trails off, as though considering Jean's words. "Yes, leave, because those fools in the guild didn't know what they were wading into."

He flicks his left hand, the other one hoisting up a staff, and the undead trudge off. "Be on with you."

[Grimaximus]

Backing away slowly trying to take in as much information as possible as we are headed out.
" We will be leaving now, out of Curiosity who is your Liege? Their greatness must be immense to have you as a follower."

"That is none you need to know. Now be off, before you wear my patience thin." The thing raises a staff, its ragged robes flapping as arcane energy seems to gather around the tip of its staff.
