As to a profession that might help with last rites, Kadatheron is a sage--not sure if that has any relevance or not, but there it is.

Podrick and Kadatheron will help carry whoever needs carrying. Ellie can help with navigation or torch-holding.

"Do we have to carry their bodies out with us?" Ellie wonders outloud. "Carrying them is going to slow us down...and if there are more of these things out there..." "Maybe we could burn them?" offers Podrick. "The fire would likely do us more harm than these things...

I've lost Jeren, so I'm down to 3 as well. Podrick will help gather and move the dead. Ellie looks for a sturdier weapon amongst the un-dead things in the room. She still wonders at what could create such monsters. Kadatheron studies the undead-things more closely, looking for any mark of the gods ...

Ellie will go back to the area she was in before the attack and pick up some coins. Emboldened by her successful attack, she wonders what dark gods could create such monsters. Podrick checks Jeren's corpse, he says a quiet prayer to whatever gods might take Jeren to a better place. He'll take his pi...

Initiative= 5 (3+2) Ellie will continue to head for the doorway, praying to whatever power will answer that the undead things do not notice her anymore. She is nothing if not practical, so should she get another attack: Ellie: 18 (again?!) Podrick will also move towards the door. Should he get anoth...

Initiative (8+2)=10 Ellie and Jeren will move to follow Grim's orders, out the door they came in. Should any undead move to attack them or block their movement, they will attack. Ellie: 18(!), 1 damage. Jeren: 5 Kadatheron and Podrick will smash any undead that come near them as they try to move tow...

Ellie will pick up some coins, especially if there are some without a crowd in front of them. If all of the coins have people in front of them, she will watch to see where people put the coins after they've taken them. Podrick looks around the room, for any weapons or other useful items that maybe s...

Ellie pipes up, echoing Daryl's sentiment: "Now is better than later. May not be a later for some of us." Kadatheron motions to Cisneros. "If these things can smell blood, we may do well to leave now before our friend here loses any more. If that gem will ensure he stops bleeding, I s...

Thanks! I wasn't sure.

In that case, make my Initiative a 12 as well.

Initiative = 10 Should I be adding any bonus to this roll from any of my characters? I think the elf has a +2... Podrick, emboldened by his last attack, will move a step closer to the advancing rat-things. He will attack should something get close enough. Podrick: 14, should that hit, damage: 2 Jere...

Podrick will spend a point of luck to hit the female.

Initiative: 19 (wow) Ellie sticks to the wall nearest the statue, somewhere near to Cisneros, also keeping an eye on the direction we came from. If anything gets close, she will attack with her stick. Ellie: 5, if that hits, damage: 1 Podrick and Jeren will form up as a second row behind where Grim ...

Initiative: 13 + 2 = 15 Ellie jogs towards the triangle room, not waiting for anyone else. Podrick will also fight defensively (if need be): 9 + 0, should that hit, damage from the staff is 4. Jeren will do the same (should anything attack), with this pitchfork before falling back: 1 (lovely), fumbl...

Kadatheron glances over his shoulder, "Should we advance or hold a bit longer?"

Podrick puffs out his chest and tightens his grip on his staff, "I say we move on." He takes a tentative step forward, towards the intersection.

Ellie stares in horror as she wonders if these things were once human. Fixated she begins to wonder how they were made and where they came from. Her eyes water as she sees a vision of herself clothed in dark armor, facing hordes of patchwork creatures. "What...is happening...my eyes?" She ...

Jeren takes up a position in the second row with his pitchfork pointed at the door, shaking slightly with fear after HP's mention of Eldritch Horrors. Podrick lines up next to Jeren, nodding silently to him as he forces a smile. Ellie slides back towards the rear of the group, perhaps back behind th...

Ellie watches Grim and wonders what kind of power a dead god would offer his worshipers. And what other gods might seek followers in a place like this.

Kadatheron lets his hand drift to his dagger handle.

Kadatheron squints at the bloodstained floor,"I think we maybe getting closer to your friend. Let us hope he has remained...fallen." Ellie glances nervously about, but only when no one is looking. If anyone is looking, she tries to look observant and not scared. Jeren tries to stop his tee...

Kadatheron looks to Cisneros for an answer while scanning behind the party for any movement in the dim light.
