Stringfellow's hand cramps and he slips as he is about to release the arrow and it flies straight up into the ceiling.

In reply to Stringfellow Hill (msg # 28):

Kirpich checks behind them and begins descending the stairs.

"Club, what are you waiting for? Go and put those skeletons to rest in the ground please!"

[OOC why is he still up here when I have asked him twice to go to assist? Is he reluctant?]

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 29):

It has been three seconds since you asked him to stop smashing bones. He had just gotten to the base of the stairs.

Danos looses his arrow at another skeleton's skull. It's a good shot.

[Private to Narrator:

Should hit (same to hit roll as last time).

4 imp damage to skull

13:48, Today: Danos rolled 9 using 3d6.  Bow. +3 Acc, -7 vs skull, -? range+dark.
13:48, Today: Danos rolled 4 using 1d6+2.  bow damage.]

Oren stands to the side, out of the line of fire, ready to attack if any of the skeletons gets too close.

ooc: Ready triggered by skeleton entering melee range.

In reply to Oren (msg # 32):

The fourth one drops with a rattle, and another steps from the side into the doorway beside Oren.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 33):

Kirpich creates another stone missile.

"Make way for skeleton crusher" he calls out as he follows Club down the stairs to assist.

Syvanus stands up and comes on guard, although he is still coughing some.

In reply to Syvanus (msg # 35):

The last of the skeletons staggers through the door, its progress slowed by all of the bodies.

Syvanus stands to the side to clear the doorway for Kirpch

Danos also stands out of the way.

With the others clearing the way, Stringfellow launches another arrow, this one strikes the target, not the roof.

He then makes sure there is room for Club to get passed him.

In reply to Stringfellow Hill (msg # 39):

The skeleton is rattled by the arrow, and seems to focus its
attention on Stringfellow, and advances slowly.

In reply to Skeletal warrior (msg # 40):

Kirpich takes advantage of the path cleared for Club to throw a stone missile past his friend at the skeleton as Club approaches it.

[Private to GM: 4 under skill to hit, rolled 6 cr damage.]

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 41):

The skeleton catches it in the chest and collapses as its ribs are shattered. It is still moving, but on its back.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 42):

Kirpich creates another missile.

"Finish it club!"

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 43):

The elemental trudges over and starts crushing bones to paste.

"Well done."

In reply to Oren (msg # 45):

"Right. Anything else here to worry about? Perhaps club should follow whoever leads. Removing abominations like this from the earth is what he specializes in."

He looks over the remains to ensure they are all dead.

"He's your creation, why don't you take point?"

In reply to Oren (msg # 47):

"Because I am a healer, not a scout. I can if you want, but I am sure there are plenty better than I for that role. We are in trouble if not..."

"Healer? No, Kirpich. You're a priest. A priest of a god dedicated to removing abominations like these from the earth. Surely it's your duty to take point, so as to better confront these abominations?"

In reply to Oren (msg # 49):

Kirpich shrugs and begins moving forward.

"Priest, yes. But my job as priest is to support those doing the good work. The elemental themselves are given to assist us by being on the front line, in recognition that the front line is not where the priests belong. But if that is you wish...Chunky, please follow with the lantern."

He leads off down the corridor as asked, slowly and cautiously with shield readied, with Club being directed to stay in front of him.

"There are many who feel that priests are mere healers," Oren said. "Within the adventuring community I've heard them referred to derisively as "healing farms." Can you believe it? A priest is a spiritual leader, whose job is to show their flock how to live a just life in the eyes of their gods. Sure, they can heal. But that's simply a task. It's not who you are, Kirpich. And what we need down here, most of all, are your wisdom and leadership."

How about I take Point... Club & Kirpich can follow me... I have a better chance of not setting off traps.
