Delve the 10th

[kipper]

Maloof presents his cross,"Avaunt" he demands! (Turn Undead)

[Makofan]

Which way does he try to force them to flee (he can probably do some maneuvering a bit with his cross)?

[acodispo]

Is the 4th skeleton still pointing at the north wall?

Assuming that Maloof can hold the skeletons near the south wall, Wiglaff orders his men-at-arms to keep him safe while he investigates the north wall thoroughly.

If the skeletons aren't turned, Wiglaff orders his men to attack!

[Makofan]

The skeleton does still point at the north wall. Maloof pins the skeletons against the south wall. Wiglaff does see there is a secret door on the north wall, but he is not sure how to open it

[acodispo]

Any torch sconce or anything like that in the room which could be a trigger to open the door?

If not, Wiglaff will try manipulating the skeleton on the floor, lift its arm, etc.

If that doesn't turn anything up, he'll order Ivar & Sigmund to help him poke the stones in the north wall to see if they can find one that moves.

[Makofan]

Moving the skeleton causes that section of wall in the north to slide back, revealing a passageway that goes 10' north, then ends at a T-junction in the second 10' section

[kipper]

Maloof stands boldly with cross raised and keeps careful watch on the skeletons for any sign that the turning might be breaking.

Just checking: If Maloof is 4th level, shouldn't the skeletons be destroyed, instead of turned? Or are these stronger than the standard skeleton?

[Makofan]

Thanks Coffee - I looked under the wrong column.

Maloof's "Avaunt" was so powerful that the skeletons collapsed into disjointed piles of bone, to disturb people no more

[acodispo]

Wiglaff, Sigmund, and the lantern-holder Edgar go into the secret passage & look left & right.
