[Galleon Rock]

You know what toasts skeletons really well?

Lightning bolts.

Many of the skeletons are blasted to ash. The rest move to dogpile on the barkbear when she goes charging past. This may or may not actually slow her down much, but at least they get points for effort. They also try raking her with their bony fingers, but that may not be very effective. Her first bearslap nails the reedy-looking necromancer, causing him to stagger back a few steps whilst proving that the guy is WAY more hearty than he looks. The second swipe strikes a shimmering screen of force that suddenly springs up between he and the bear.

"This is your fault! YOUR FAULT, M'YES! Your fault that my ritual has been ruined and now you shall DIE, M'YES!" the necromancer shrieks as he thrusts his staff toward Mrs Bear, sending an oily black bolt of energy sizzling toward her. Should it strike, it'll cause the area around the point of impact to rot while inhibiting healing, magical or otherwise.

The gross blob of goop on top of the later twitches a bit.

Which may or may not be an ominous foreshadowing of some kind.
