    Round 2 summary

    The skeleton makes its save.
    The skeleton turns to Jutta and swings its arm. (1d20+4)[13] hit: (1d6+2)[7]. Jutta swings her sword at the skeleton: (1d20+4)[20] hit: (1d8+2)[5]
    Arkhen's eldritch arrow hits. Rashad fires an arrow: (1d20+5)[6] hit: (1d8+3)[5]
    Ornug swings his hammer: (1d20+5)[12] hit: (1d8+3)[8]. Ox's attack hits.
    Two of Daar's attacks hit, the mace and one unarmed.
    Zanan rushes in and hits the skeleton with his hammer.
    The skeleton fails the save.

    The skeleton loses its necromantic life the moment Arkhen's arrow pierced it. The ring falls to the ground and rolls to be pointing at Zuzu.

    Zuzu shivers, still trembling from the necromantic drain on his life force. How many years of his life was shaved off in the attack? Will he die young now, before his time?

    "Thank you," he whispers to his companions.

    (1d2)[1]

    1: Seized with curiosity, and despite his brain screaming at him to leave well enough alone, the boy picks up the ring that's pointing to him.

    2: Not wishing to chance getting any more of his life energy withdrawn, the boy studiously ignores the ring, and instead clambers to his feet.

    Daar calms down and goes to Zuzu, seeing him pick the ring up she crouches next to him placing her hand on him and releases healing energies.

    Bahamut grant you a long life little one,
    I don't know much about the arcane, but I think that you should study the ring before you put it on.

    Zuzu sighs almost inaudibly, and shudders a little bit as vitality is transferred from Daar's Cure Wounds spell into his small frame. It felt good. Warm... and almost... maternal?

    His energy returning, the boy turns his psionic focus inward, augmenting the dragonborn's divinely-inspired healing touch.

    Having been rejuvenated, Zuzu gives the Daar a shy smile and nods, making sure he does not slip the ring on his ring. Instead, he clutches it on one hand, and tries to send a probing psionic pulse at the magical artifact.

    You feel a slight chill; not a bad kind of chill, it feels comforting. Then you hear a voice in your head:Ahhh, that's better. What a rush. Wait, whose are these thoughts? I have not felt thought for a century...


    Your Arcana check reveals it's out of charges for the day, but what it would normally do is cast the spell Inflict Wounds at 1st level for each charge used.

    While part of him is excited at the prospect of handling a magic ring, Zuzu ultimately rejects it. For one, Inflict Wounds require the user to get within melee range - too close for comfort to the frail 11 year old. Second, he didn't really drive much pleasure in inflicting wounds, and doesn't have the stomach to do so day in and day out. Especially after getting a double dose from the dead drow.

    Finally making a decision, Zuzu telepathically transmits a thought to the ring: "I'm very sorry, Mr. Ring. But is it okay if I find you a new owner? I don't think I can use you very well, and you deserve better."

    Turning them to his companions, he croaks out vocally. "This is a Ring that can cast Inflict Wounds. I... don't think I want to use it. It hurt real bad." Zuzu says haltingly, holding the ring out to anyone with the mental fortitude to do so.

    Zuzu passes the ring into Arkhen's hand, telling her about the ring being out of charges, that recharging occurs at dawn, and to try and avoid expending all charges lest the ring crumbles to dust.

    After which, he examines the skeleton's remains for clues. He clearly saw it drop from the ceiling. How did it get up there? Can it fly? Is someone puppeteering it?

    He hasn't said that about my magic, Zanan says with a wry smile. What? Don't look at my like that. There's magic in these muscles. As he talks, he flexes his arms in a bicep curl to show off.

    Now, as for the ring, I believe I can take care of it if the rest of you don't want it.

    Spoiler: If given the ring
    Show
    Zanan will chuck the ring with a side arm front spin as far as he can throw it into the wilderness. If there's a body of water nearby, he'll aim there instead.

    However, as he begins to throw, if anyone objects, he'll stop and give it to them.

    If anyone was watching Zuzu who was still examining the skeleton that nearly killed him, they would notice his shoulders slumping almost imperceptibly when the men began comparing their physical prowess. Clearly, the boy is unhappy at his lack of macho musculature.

    Daar grabs the ring before it is thrown,she placed it in a pouch and smiles dimly at Zuzu.

    I have a brother who would like this ring I tend to send various items and curiosities to them, as for you, don't let their comparisons of their strength let you down, you have a much stronger strength here. Daar places a finger at his head indicating his psionic abilities, You will grow to be stonger than even the strongest of us and that is what you should remember, no one here would have been able to do what you just did and still survive.

    Daar makes it obvious to Zuzu that she was talking about how he fought to stay awake long enough to attack after having the life sucked from him.

    Zanan, for all his brother love and protectiveness of Zuzu, is completely oblivious to the boy's injured ego.

    Instead, he asks Daar, Why will he grow stronger with his head?

    Zu, you're a warlock, right? Does that mean that whoever gave you your magic give you more?

    Are you afraid of not being strong?

    OOC Daar doesn't know he is psionic but is a mage of sorts.

    Daar smiles at the question.

    Why because of his abilities to harness the arcane, that takes intelligence.

    For a brief moment, a panicked look flashes across the boy's face. The dragonborn, does she know he is a freak? Did the shardmind tell her about it? What will people think of him now?! Hoping to quickly change the topic, young Zuzu decides to try and deceive everyone in that their words of platitude are working very well in cheering him up!

    "In general, no. As far as I know, powers like his or mine only tend to manifest under unusual circumstances. However, among adventurers like us, those circumstances tend to be a fair bit more common, so it's certainly possible that these powers are more typical with us than ordinary people. Even so, I haven't found anything to confirm it either way, so this is all just a guess on my part."

    Noticing Zuzu's unwillingness to cheer up Daar places a calming hand on his shoulder.
    Come hatchling, you're much stronger than you believe. Bahamut grants you a strength that may be confusing to you, but trust me, I believe you are going to be like Kriv the runt, my baby brother. Born sickly but grow to be the strongest. Let us go and finish this quest.

    In the room, you see 9 statues, 8 small ones and one large one. They are on large marble pedestals.
    The small statues are of 8-inch wide golden beholders with 4 stubby eyestalks. The large one is a 6-foot wide silver beholder with 4 long tentacle-like stalks.
    They could be worth as much as 2,000 GP each.

    While entering the room, Zuzu nervously looks to the ceiling to see if there are any more skeletons or holes for enemies to ambush him from.
