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?

Searos moves in to lend a helping hand, still visibly disturbed by the undead and swings his blade at Skelaton #4.

Dogmeat launches himself at the same skeleton again, going for behind. He was determined to get some of those bones for himself.

Meanwhile, Amon casts Armor on himself and then steps back, keeping close enough to the party so his torch can illuminate the battlefield for those without infravision.

==========

Initiative
Dogmeat (1d10+3): 11
Amon (1d10): 6

Dogmeat attacks Skeleton 02 from behind (1d20+2): 22, critical hit! for (4d4): 11 damage.
Amon casts Armor on himself, improving his AC to 8.

Searos steps inside the Room, a little late to the fray he swings his Broadsword at the skeleton before him, seemingly ignoring Echos suggestion. The skeleton falls to the floor, dropping the axe at Gunters feet.

1d20=13, 2d4=3 Hit AC 7 for 2 damage,

"Apparently, they are a deaf bunch too," Echo mutters in annoyance as she waits for this to be over. She refuses to run into the fray when she has nothing but darts to help out.

Searos marvels at his handiwork and even takes a moment to jerk a thumb at the pile of bones and smile to himself and the rest of the group before remembing the rest the skelatons and moving on skelaton 2 to finsih it off with another mighty swing of his blade, Foebane (name pending).

Init: 1d10 = 5
Attack: 1d20 = 13 = AC 7

(I’m holding Gunters attack, and moving the combat along)

Brax disengages, allowing the rest of the group to deal with the last skeleton, moving round the back she approaches the fleeing undead. "Back, Pelor commands you to return to the grave." Rasing her mace she strikes Skelton 1, the creature taking a hit to the head, it falls in a crumpled heap.

Vee turns her staff on the skeleton (2) once more, the creature dodges out of the way, surprisingly fast for a pile on bones, instead it slices at her with its weapon the blade bouncing off her armor.

The remaining Skeletons flee in panic, trying to get as far away from the glowing symbol in Brax’s off hand.

Echo holds outside the door.

Amon, steps away, speaking the spidery words of magic he protects himself with an invisible force, then holds his lantern high above his head.

Kim holds outside the door.

Gunter holds back a moment, surprised Searos charged in and killed the creature before him.

While this is happening Dogmeat sneaks behind the remaining skeleton, the dog jumps in the air grasping the spine it tears the skeleton in half, the top half falling behind the dog savagely mauls the creature ripping it to shreds.

Innit:

Brax: 1d10=1
Vee: 1d10=4
Skeletons: 1d10=4
Searos: 5
Echo: 1d10=5
Amon: 6
Kim: 1d10=6
Gunter: 1d10=8
Dogmeat: 11

Attacks:
Brax: 1d20=18, 1d6+1=6 Hits AC2 for 6 damage.
Vee: 4 miss.
Skeleton: 1d20, 1d6=[10], [6] Misses.

(Gunter gets an action)

The two remaining skeletons suddenly turn, the effect broken, they draw their blades and begin to attack the cleric once more.

The closest skeleton swings his blade at her, the weapon missing as she dives to the right, straight into the path of the others short sword, the weapon slicing her left leg, tearing at her clothes.
1d20, 1d8=[6], [4]
1d20, 1d8=[15], [3] Hit, 3 damage

The Cleric looks quite worse for wear.

Brax: 6/19 hp

Echo peeks her head into the doorway now that the sounds of battle don't seem to be happening right there. She looks over the pile of bones that most of the party had taken care of, then her eyes drift to the skeletons that Brax is dealing with. "...What is she doing?" Echo asks in dismay. She was surrounded by a bunch of morons in her mind.

Kim walks over to the door and takes the scene in. "Gunter, Vee, if you don't want to lose us our cleric, you should help her, attack the skeleton and let her back out. I would do it, but I have only a dagger"
There's more to me than meets the eye...
