Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh (This is the Game Thread)

Desolate and abandoned, the evil alchemist’s mansion stands alone on the cliff, looking out towards the sea. Mysterious lights and ghostly hauntings have kept away the people of Saltmarsh, despite rumours of a fabulous forgotten treasure. What is its sinister secret?

Kim's missile shoots past Vee's head narrowly missing her, and deflects off the stone wall loosening the wall further before glancing the skull of the skeleton.

Coming behind Kim Brax raises her holy symbol.
"Go back to your rest, bother us no more." she shouts, the symbol glowing brightly in the torch light.

Three of the skeletons turn away. Facing the back wall.

Kim looks around. Are there any stones lying around that could be used to throw them at the skeletons, smashing their bones?

Kim searches with her eyes and notes the fallen stones from the wall could be useful.

The mages know that fighting such creatures with bladed weapons is less affective.

Pause for others.

Seeing that the skeletons are just out of range, Gunter takes a cue from the mages and hurls a rock through the hole, hoping to hit anything but the halfling.

((would i use strength or dex bonus for the attack roll?))

Kim picks up one of the stones and throws it at the skeletons.

1d20=5, that won't hit anything,but how much would the damage be if it did?

Searos decides to follow suit and hurls a rock at the skelatons.

1d20 = 17 plus whatever my dex bonus is (sorry, don't have access to my books right now).

The skeleton attacking Vee takes a sudden impacts from the stones hitting it, while not the best projectiles (1d4) they are enough to cause the Skeleton to fall.

Vee had planed to hit the skeleton in front of her, but it collapse first. Without a target any more she only prepared herself to hit the next skeleton that will make the mistake to come in reach of her staff.

Three of the skeletons do not move, standing against the wall one of them even tries to walk further, with no luck. The only Skeleton to to be affected by Brax's turning attempt walks straight towards the opening and slowly pushes the stones apart, both hands reaching for Vee, missing badly.

"Quick!" Amon shouts to Guntar. "Grab the halfling while they're distracted and let's get out of here!"

Kim raises an eyebrow. "Shouldn't we smash the skeletons first? Whatever causes them to flee now will wear off after a while, I guess, and then they can come after us." While (and if) the ranger retrieves the halfling, Kim stands still, stone in hand, ready to throw it at skeleton 3 once the path is clear.

"On it!" Gunter yells as he attempts to duck through the opening and grab the little guy.

"Don't hit little girls!"Vee said to the Skeleton and strikes back with her staff.

Feeling rather confident about previously braining a skelaton, Searos picks up another rock and prepares to throw it at the first one he can see.
