4 points absorb, and then divided in half. Half to clover, half to armor.

Once the magic item becomes a construct, the rules of envoloping creatures apply.

  "It's slow going, but I think we're wearing them down," says Theo. "Only are they wearing us quicker?" he adds as he sends another bolt of energy into a skeleton.

OOC: Standard action: Eldritch blast on skeleton: Hit AC 21 (ranged touch), dam 2.

Clover seeing, and feeling his luck holding out bit just barely moves to better engage a new target, instead of having 2 skeletons at his back facing what is now (hopefully) a dead stone demon.

Once he has repositioned himself with his companions to best engage with a new foe, he looks around and identified his next target, determining if they need to have thier health increased or decreased and the priority of which needed to happen first.

[OOC: Sorry CLover, you are already amid the party with everyone except Theo who is hanging above the greased hallway. Want to repost your action? Everyone in the party looks to be in good health, the skeletons are a ratty-looking bunch.]

Determined to clear an exit, Nixif and his bat attack the skeletons struggling with the grease, though it would be finished this round. His Dire bat's 25 AC and beefy bulk would need to be enough to hold them off while the others handle the remaining skeletons in the room. As the bat began it's charge, he griped out "You lot really know how to pick 'em".

His bow let loose as the bat whipped out a full assault on a skeleton.

[Sorry, ran out of time to compile all the actions tonight. Should get them for you tomorrow. I'm thinking that these skeletons are gonna be done.]

With only a few skeletons left in the room, the party is able to gang up and destroy them this round.

In the hall, Theo's blast and the bat with Nixif's help drop the final three monsters.

Aside from the party's panting breaths, the only sound is of the teen's body gurging and dissolving in the pool of greenish liquid.

Orlen frowns at the plight of the boy. "It seems we can't save any of them," he says sadly.

Sir Jovius nodded with a tight smile
"So it would seem. "

Clover was not pleased with the current situation that led to the death of the three boys and the farmer that came down before the group hopeful that he could save the boys, but received a far worse fate when he was reanimated and an undead creature.

As sad as it is, I think thier families will be able to get closure. That is far better then not knowing, because the not knowing can be more painful then the loss itself.

“Truth spoken, the question now becomes will we be able to extricate ourselves.”

"We could leave the way we came assuming the bat could carry each of us one at a time. No need for ropes or anything." Orlen suggests.

  Theo sadly shakes his head. "I don't think any of them stood a chance; let's face it, that was a tough fight even for us," he says morosely. "At least we ended their suffering."
  He looks towards the way they entered. "I could climb up and let down a rope," he offers.
