"See through their eyes?
That sounds like powerful magic."

[Zergrinch]

Zuzu sighs. "Okay, let's go with the familiar and try to hide our mounts and ourselves while we wait."

[Gluteus_Maximus]

When the bat flies into the hallway, a skeleton falls from the ceiling and starts to walk forward towards your group.

[Zergrinch]

Zuzu observes the skeleton, trying to gauge its intent.

Insight: (d20+2)[17]

[Jrpergande78]

Upon seeing the skeleton walking their way, Daar tenses up and mentally prepared to strike if the need arises she says a quick and silent prayer to Bahamut.

Now is not the time to deal with an undead, I hate them and this tells me, that this person is not likely to come with us peacefully.

[Gluteus_Maximus]

The skeleton is walking forward slowly. It kind of looks like it might want to fight.

[Zergrinch]

While keeping a wary eye on the skeleton, the small boy fishes out an ocarina from his pocket and starts blowing into it.

Muting out the sounds of battle seems to be the most prudent thing to do!

[Jrpergande78]

Daar gets into an offensive position ready to strike if the need arises putting herself between the skeleton and Zuzu. She has started to think of him as a little brother.

Prepare yourselves, it looks as though it wants to attack, we must hurry and get the person we're here for.

[mgshamster]

Zanan whispers, Ignore it. For one, it doesn't know we're here. We're hiding for a reason while the bat explore. Second, if we attack now, we give away our position. Just let it wander. Keep using the bat.

[Gluteus_Maximus]

Avoiding the skeleton and walking through the hallway, you come to the T intersection. To the right path, you can see gold and silver statues on pedestals. To the left, you can see shelves and shelves of books.

[Zergrinch]

After blowing on the ocarina of silence for one minute, and nothing untoward happened with the skeleton, Zuzu relaxes a bit and places the magic object into his pocket.

Upon reaching the fork in the path, Zuzu makes a beeline towards the bookshelves and studies the titles intently.

[mgshamster]

[ooc]I am so thoroughly confused on what's going on. I thought we sent in the familiar while we hide with the mounts. Yet somehow the skeleton can see us and we're walking past it? While also hiding? What's going on?

[Gluteus_Maximus]

[ooc]Okay, I believe we're rescinding mine and zerg's last posts. I was confused with what everyone was doing and zerg was reacting to what I said, which was wrong. This replaces those two.

The skeleton walks forward and stops at Daar. It reaches out a hand. Around the hand's ring finger is a gold ring with a red gemstone.
As the bat flies down the hallway, it comes to the T intersection. To its right is a room with 9 statues; 8 small gold ones and 1 much larger silver one, on marble pedestals.
To its left is a room lined with bookshelves; Some are scattered on the floor. Directly in between the two central bookshelves the bat sees a large door with a complicated puzzle-key system. Well, complicated to the bat.

[Zergrinch]

After blowing on the ocarina of silence for one minute, and nothing untoward happened with the skeleton, Zuzu relaxes a bit and places the magic object into his pocket.

The boy cautiously approaches the skeleton. Seized with a desire to know its name, he reaches out with his right hand to touch its skully face.

[Jrpergande78]

Daar looking at the ring and seeing Zuzu reaching out she places a cautionary hand on his shoulder. She then reaches very cautiously reaches for the skeleton's hand.

I don't expect an answer, but what is your name, what is your purpose here? Will you allow us to pass?

[Gluteus_Maximus]

When you touch the face of the skeleton, you see a certain drow's life of murder and despair flash before your eyes and then hear the name echoing in your head: Adtumar. It's not an unfamiliar name. Plenty of stories were told to you about Adtumar the Despicable when you were younger; You had never expected him to exist. Stories said that he could kill a man just by touching him with his left hand, and that he killed tens of dozens before he was caught, incarcerated, and executed by city guards 100 years ago. Scragg said that the one you were trying to capture was a Necromancer; clearly he did not put Adtumar's body to waste.

The skeleton does not respond to Daar talking. Instead, it grabs Zuzu's hand with the hand that has the ring on it. (1d20+7)[18] hit: (3d10)[10] necrotic damage.

[Zergrinch]

The life drains out of poor trusting Zuzu. Fighting to stay conscious, the boy attempts to blast away the necromantic skeleton, whilst letting out a strangled cry that immediately catches Zanan's ears.

Knowing that the next attack can kill him, the boy also sends out a psionic transmission to both Ox and Zanan so that they could avenge him: Adtumar.... the.... Despicable.... Ring.... take....

[Zergrinch]

Woozy and feeling faint from the draining of his youthful vitality, Zuzu crawls away from the turned skeleton, and weakly tries a telekinetic shove before slumping into the ground.

On retrospect, the boy thinks, hugging the ground seems to be a recurring trend for him now. Perhaps he should invest in a nice pillow while in combat.
