Combat Turn 1 Round 1

"Waves of bones with arms of rust,
Waves of bones to kill the just.
Stand your ground and be ye brave
Tis your friends you save from the grave"

Bones are rattling as bones must
Send them back to join the dust

Heros rise and heros fall, today we are heros all.
When this eve we light our fire, none shall lay upon a pyre.
Stand with me, we shall not falter,
Tomorrow lay tribute on the alter.

Bones are rattling as bones must
Send them back to join the dust"


Although somewhat demoralized that he had failed to turn any of the undead from the south, Jaufre took renewed courage as the inspired words from the lady Bard compelled him to move 15 feet forward, positioning himself between the last Skeleton Pirate on the east (14) and the last one on the end of the southern advance (10, diagonally next to 9).

Positioning himself with his medium wooden shield to guard against an attack from the southern line, he raised his left arm, holding his short sword high in the air, before bringing it down upon the left shoulder near the neck of the undead skeleton at the end of the eastern line.

His foe wobbled momentarily, before crumpling into a pile of dust and bone splinters, no longer animated by some dark magic.

Elated by his momentary triumph, the Paladin whirled and took a swing at the skeleton advancing from the end of the southern line, but for whatever reason, be it the zealousness or hurried swing of inexperience, his blade missed wide of its intended target.

Mylos the Gnome Bard gave out a shout to put on the Eye Patches, after he had put away his Light Cross Bow and drawn his two Daggers!

The arrows fight was not as smooth as Tohmas would have liked but it hit home. The skeleton rocked as the arrow pierced its skull, but it didn’t fall. The Shaman thought his arrow would do more.

Knowing that his arrow had not the effect he had wish he put the bow away and drew his staff to fend off the skeleton to the northeast side. He wished the party had passed safe….. passed safe… safe passage….as a bards song rang out he saw Elyra, she still had her eye patch on… safe passage…….then he heard Mylos shout out to use the eye patch. Thinking it is a sign they think the same, Tohmas draws the patch over his eye. As he approaches the line of skeletons to the east he utter the words to ask Altira to bless his quarterstaff and add two his charisma skills to the staff.


Tohmas took heed to the Gnome Bard's words, as he made a beeline to the northeasterly positioning that placed him in front of the third skeleton on the eastern line.

In his inexperienced haste, the Shaman made a clumsy fumbled swing with his quarterstaff that opened a small bleeder on his shin (-2 HP) that must have spoiled his concentration for a second attempt that did not come close to his quarry!

Well this is not good thought Crow as he first saw the horde of Undead headed the groups way. Of all the things to face Undead were more of a problem then most. With only swords to fight with, the sharp edges not made for destroying Undead, his ability at doing damage to them would be reduced.

Thinking quickly he drew both his longsword ‘Twinkle Twinkle’ and his shortsword ‘Little Star’ and reversed them in his gloved hands intending to use the pommels as blunt weapons. Moving quickly he yelled to Amur to follow him as he attempted to rejoin with the rest of the party in their charge to the East.


Crow covered a space of 30 feet as quickly as he could, almost slipping a time or two, but he managed to take up a position to the north, diagonally next to his friend Tohmas, with 5 feet of space between the Elf Ranger and the second skeleton on the eastern line.

Amur took heed to follow Crow, positioning himself next to Crow, right behind Tohmas, as he began flinging sling stones!

His first stone sailed harmlessly over the head of the skeleton facing Tohmas; the second hit the same skeleton in the skull; the third split its skull into a pile of dust and bone splinters, unable to rise again; while the fourth stone hit the second skeleton, causing it to wobble back and forth.

Bartimeous boldy and arrogantly marched ten feet forward, but his inexperience would have narrowly missed his foe, had it not been for his blessed War Hammer from his dwarven deity Toft, who must have been smiling with favor upon the Human Cleric this day, because his seemingly anemic swing resulted in the skeleton (E10) disintegrating into dust and bone splinters!

Willem moved 5 feet northeasterly and took a mighty two-handed swing with his Broadsword at a menacing skeleton (E7) with all the inexperienced enthusiasm he could muster, but he missed by several inches.

Undaunted, the Fighter took another mighty swing, but made an inexperienced clumsy fumbly swing, that fortunately did not injure himself, or anyone else!

Taking another slice with his Broadsword, the Fighter finally managed to connect with his specialized weapon, barely obliterating his foe!

Then with one final spinning swing of his mighty Broadsword, the Fighter failed to hit the adjacent skeleton (E6).

Vincent had closely followed the lead of his new found friend Willem, matching him almost stride for stride, as he boldly moved alongside his friend to confront the skeleton (E with his Short Sword.

Mars must have taken delight in the inexperienced enthusiasm of his devoted Knight, as the Short Sword slashed through the ribcage of his undead foe, reducing his target to a pile of dust and bone splinters that were unable to stalk any more living beings!

Triumphantly swinging his Short Sword at his adjacent foe (E9), the blade succeeded in eliminating its second target in like manner!

Ready to swing his weapon again and again, the Knight had no more nearby foes to face!

Areldor listened and looked as the Seekers tried to formulate a plan against the undead foe. It seemed to him that everyone had some idea what to do and he none. Knowing that he was without armor and that his spells were useless, he had to fall back on the weapons training. Holding his black ash club as Garlin instructed, he steadies his nerves and prepared for what was to come. “Goddess Minerva, grant us understanding in how we are to face our foe. “ Areldor said aloud hoping that the goddess heard and would assist him and his companions.

Someone cried out put on the eye patches. “Eye patches!” was the illusionist thought “Where is that eye patch!” He remembers it was in his bag and he quickly shoved his right hand into his bag and with a shock to his hand it was not found only his spell book. Panic was about to overcome him, then he glanced over to Elyra and remembered just before the alarm of the pirates he and the bard were have a pleasant but silly conversation, then his hand reached up to his forehead and he felt the eye patch. “Safe passage” was the words the Captain used when they were handed out. The words gave the illusionist peace, and a new confidence. Areldor whispered “Thank you Goddess Minerva” believing that his prayer was answered he prepared himself to be ready for what was to unfold.


Minerva must have somehow possessed, or at least motivated Areldor to boldly move 15 feet to confront the skeletons from the south, as he had seen Jaufre seeming fearlessly do!

He swung his Club with all the might and courage that he could muster, but the Illusionist seemed to be a mere illusion himself, as his weapon harmlessly swept past his foe (S.

But as his Club turned him around in a circle, it connected with the chest of the skeleton, reducing it to a pile of dust and bone splinters!

Then his momentum caused the inexperienced Illusionist to miss the adjacent skeleton (S9), but the determined Half Elf somehow guided his Club, perhaps with the aid of his deity Minerva, into the ribcage of the same skeleton (S9), also reducing it to a pile of dust and harmless bone splinters!

Elyra took off after Areldor, covering 20 feet with ease, as she brandished her twin Short Swords, positioning herself with a 5 foot space between the lady Bard and the Illusionist, to help stem the tide against the southern Skeleton Pirates!

She swung and missed with her primary left handed short sword, but as she turned she caught the skeleton (S6) on the left leg with her other sword, but it only shuddered a bit.

However, her next primary swing caused the skeleton to crumple in a pile of dust and bone splinters, while her second off handed swing reduced the adjacent skeleton (S7) nearest Areldor to suffer the same fate, unable to cause any more harm to a living being.

Mylos being a Gnome, was only able to move 20 feet, positioning himself just out of reach of being able to use his Daggers against the southern line of skeletons.

Note from the Castle Keeper:

Seekers have the first Initiative for the second round of combat against the Skeleton Pirates!

I have decided to Post the first 2 rounds of Combat, before I proceed any further!

That way you will really have some suspense!

I would really prefer no 'In Game' posting until this episode with the Skeleton Pirates has run its course!

Thank You

From the way the 'Hunting for Ham' went, it is obvious that my Barbarian is not very stealthy!

She could either fire some arrows, but maybe would be better served if she made her way to the captives and if any goblins draw near she could go berserker on them with her two silver battle axes!

Any thoughts ???

I have edited my previous post to include the Armor Hit Points that are protecting you!

These will let you know how your Armor is holding up when hit by Weapons!

At some point your Armor will either have to be repaired or replaced, because unlike Hit Points for your Character, that can be restored by Cure Light Wounds etc, the Armor must be either repaired or replaced sometime during the adventure, all the more reason to return to the Toothless Dragon Tavern once you finally leave Tagea!

You will probably be more effective using Double Daggers, than you would be using the Cross Bow!

You get 2 shots maximum with your Light Cross Bow, but you get 4 swings with your Daggers for being Ambidextrous, plus you get +2 more points in dagger damage than is normal for each Dagger Swing from worshipping your deity!

Subject: Cross Bow Bolt Adjustment


Mylos will be limited to 2 Bolt Shots per Round with a Light Cross Bow, being Ambidextrous with a +4 Dexterity!

Takes longer to load Bolts and fire them, but I am being generous with the 2 Bolts per round as it is!

Arrows and Sling Stones remain at 4 per round maximimum!

Weapon swings remain at 4 Maximum for those who qualify!

Okay Gang

So I have the following confirmed who will be wearing the Eye Patches:

Elyra
Areldor
Tohmas
Amur
Mylos

At this point of my doing an UpDate sometime this weekend, I would make mention of someone shouting out about the Eye Patches and these 5 wearing them, while the other 5 were skeptical that such an action would work for them against the Skeleton Pirates!

So if you want your character wearing the Eye Patch, then you better get my attention here!

I will be doing Tornado Relief work on Friday, so on Saturday I will begin figuring out the actions and writing up the results to resolve this present situation sometime over the weekend, before we proceed further!

Anyone who has not mentioned any type of action by the time I begin, will be NPCed at my discretion!

As for the woman screaming, Guh-Amriel would be prone to go help her!

But since she has thrashed about all day long, failing to bring back any ham for Tasso, she is probably in a mood more inclined to at least listening to what the others would want to do!

But she is ready to shoot somebody with an Arrow!
