Skeleton's once more, Devin knew that the Spirit of Auril would drive them back.  Dropping his hammer so that he could clasp the symbol about his neck, the Acolyte of Auril intoned a prayer to repel the undead.

OOC: Devin Harper rolled 9 using 2d6.  Turn Undead Skeletons 7.
Devin Harper rolled 4 using 2d6.  HD Turned.

OOC Devin declared shield and hammer before Initiative therefore he can not Turn Undead this round.

Calling on Auril was definitely what he wanted to do, but his indecisiveness caused him to do no more than keep his shield up as he tried to shift gears.

A fine strike by the dwarf had one skeletons crumble into a heap of bones, however the groping bony fingers of the others tore at Derry wounding him. Behind the skeleton four more skeletons marched forward.

OOC Attack against Derry hit AC0 for 2 damage. Declare for next round.

The onslaught from the undead skeletons continued as they raked their claws against the armour of Derry and Devin. Then as Devin called forth the power of Auril a wind blew through the corridor and the skeletons were swept away.

The skeletons missed their attacks and were then Turned by Devin.

Derry flings a second axe at the panicked rats, intending to panic them even further, so that in their madness they will dash into the flames.

"Devin, watch out for more skeletons. Wyndham, back to target practice."

Derry hits for 2 dmg

The throw of Derry’s axe killed another rat and as the flames grew the rats and their nest was consumed in flames. The room was filled with smoke and fire.

The smoke slowly cleared as the nest smothered, everything shot or thrown into the room was burned, singed and fire damaged. The smell of burnt rat flesh and burnt filth filled the air, overcoming the usually chemical odour of the dungeon.

The filthy sacks both torn and burnt had spewed out their contents, hundreds of soot covered copper coins were scattered amidst the detritus of filth and dead rats.

Wyndham kicks lightly at the sacks, his lip curling in distaste.
"Well, that didn't go as well as hoped. Can we get to the ring before the old bones come back?"

"The captain of the cave pirate crew would pay more than coppers for this story," Derry promises.

Are there any crisped rat tails for the taking?

Head to the ring room via the most direct (only) route.

"Where do all of these skeletons keep coming from?" Devin asked no one in particular as he stuck with the others.  Copper coins weren't even worth picking up.

There was eleven roasted rat tails.

The two hallways and the experimentation room were empty. The quiet after the battle and fire was unnerving, the faint smell of chemicals and mildew returned as they moved away from the smell of burnt filth. The party safely reached the room with the incomplete ring.

The incomplete ring of steel sections was inlaid with silver glyphs. A three quarter ring were set upright against the far wall, the remaining quarter was on a creaking wooden stand.

Wyndham asks Eadwynn to hold his torch while he eagerly sets to work using the chalk and parchment to make rubbings of the silver glyphs. He continues until he has made a clear reproduction of the characters. If all goes well, he finishes and then the group returns to town.

Wyndham got to work making rubbings of the silver glyphs.

OOC What’s everyone else doing? Where exactly is Wyndham taking rubbings from, any particular method?

Wyndham wipes gently at the silver glyphs, removing any dust and dirt.
He pulls out a piece of parchment and lays it carefully over the glyphs on the ring. Assuming the glyphs are slightly raised or depressed, he takes a piece of chalk and rubs it over them, attempting to reproduce the symbols on the paper.
If that approach fails or there is no discernible edge to the glpyhs, he'll just freehand them on the parchment as best he can.

"Let's hustle back," Derry decides. "I think we have someone who's eager to join us."

Satisfied, he explains, "I'm eleven roasted rat tails to the good and Wyn has his rubbings."

Back to Four Towers to grab the new guy.

Their task completed the adventurers returned to the stairs safely and back up the slippery steps. Outside in the clearing it was still morning time. The journey back to Fourtower Bridge was uneventful and it was early afternoon as they crossed the bridge.

OOC 35XP each. Feel free to join the other thread and make any introduction to the new character.
