[Round 1]
Pytor shouts
Find Cover! echoed immediately by the bard as she joins him. Elsa, however, evades his grasp; raising her shield with a determined set to her. Likewise Merrick and Cross rush for cover, as the white haired elf laments his lack of protective preparation. The half-elven mage beside him nods,
We can fix that... and begins casting a spell.
Adrestia and Artanis move back against the southern wall, pressing themselves against it beyond the curvature of the canyon passage.
We can funnel them into this passage, without exposing ourselves too much. The dusky hued fighter says, while Artanis calmly prepares to fire.
As the others seek cover, Pytor peers out from cover long enough to fire at the nearest skeleton. His arrow strikes it square in the skull and sending it clattering to the adobe. Artanis likewise fires, striking the target directly beyond cleanly in the breastbone. Half of the undead’s ribcage shatters, causing it to list severely; though it remains upright.
Can you Affect these things? Mira calls out to the Halfling, still standing in the open. An almost sinister smirk crosses the pretty cleric’s face.
You bet I can. Whispering a prayer, she clasps her holy symbol in her free hand; eyes locked intently on the towering structure littered with undead. The symbol begins to shine faintly… Elsa’s voice rings out through the dusty canyon, reverberating with power and faith…
By the grace of the Mother Protector and the Light of her shelter, BE GONE FROM MY SIGHT!!! Your place is no longer here among the living!![/i]
The light of the symbol shines brighter for an instant, and a handful of the skeletons shield their eyes as if blinded and begin to flee the diminutive cleric. Others take up their sharp spears and hurl them at the Halfling! Elsa stands unflinchingly, symbol raised as the other undead flee while a half-dozen spears clatter to the ground around her. One miraculously finds the mark as it strikes the shoulder of her upraised arm, but the stalwart cleric hardly grimaces at the blow. A trio of skeletons grip the edge of the tier and lower themselves over the side, dropping the last 5 feet to the ground. Turning they rush towards the cleric, closing the distance.
Adran hurries over to join Mira and Pytor as Elsa finally lowers her symbol and takes cover beside them. Adran and Pytor fire at one of the oncoming undead, but the arrows fly wide of the mark. Artanis leans out and strikes it cleanly in the shoulder and destroying the thing in a shower of bone chips. Adran takes calmer aim at the next one in line, his arrow taking it near the collar and sending it to oblivion.
Back on the Ziggurat, the invisible party members watch anxiously on. Far below them on the lowest tier the remaining skeletons begin spreading out. Several of them come into view of the party and raise their spears as well…
[Unfortunately Elsa couldn’t take cover before the skeletons attacked this round because of the Turn Undead. She knew if she left the skeletons’ view, they wouldn’t have to flee… Fortunately, she has a decent AC and more hps than anyone in the party except Pytor
