Odilo uses another charge from his staff and activates a light spell in the room with the crashing boats and skeletons as he backs away towards the door way trying to center the light near where he last could see the boats.

Tanner

The dark-skinned warrior sighs. Ahhh, hell... He readies himself for a swarm of angry skeletons.

Risdac Egargi

The giant mage prepares for the possibility of smacking around a bunch of skeletons.
Sometimes this summer I will most likely be participating in another 24 hour game of Dungeons & Dragons as part of Extra Life.

I'm raising money for Marshfield Children's Hospital in Marshfield, WI, and all money I raise will go to that hospital. All donations are tax-deductible.

Odilo casts light from his staff. A dozen skeletons amid the shards of what used to be a rowboat rise to their metatarsals, their pyramid having collapsed just a moment before. The other pyramid remains intact, holding its boat high above you. Well, high above most of you; it's just a few feet above Risdac.

The skeletons swarm you, bony claws reaching for throats and tearing at your faces. Your strong protections keep them all at bay—all but one, which pulls at Xale's beard (-5 HP).

The Unseen Servant:

In one graceful motion, the sensei silently attacks four of the fleshless cadavers. His hands move too fast for the eyes to follow.

Open Hand: To Hit: [1d20] = 20, [1d20] = 17, [1d20] = 16, [1d20] = 12
Open Hand: Damage: [5d6] = 19, [5d6] = 17, [5d6] = 20, [5d6] = 18

Tanner

Somehow still a bit surprised, Tanner manages to miss with his first swing.
att[1d20+3] = 7+3 = 10

att[1d20+3] = 20+3 = 23
sword[1d8+3] = 3+3 = 6

The second is a solid hit with the flat of the blade.

Malibran raises his mace high in the air and calls upon the light. "My might lawful lord Pholtus! May your heavenly forgiveness pierce the veil of this foul land and give these soulless creatures rest at last!"

Rool Diov

Upon hearing the calamity, Rool rushes back to the skeleton room. Realizing that his edged weapons will have minimal effect on the undead bones, he provides security at the entrance while his comrades battle the animations.

How does Odilo target the missiles? All on one skeleton? One missile per skeleton? Two per skeleton? Something else?

two missiles per skeleton will be how he targets them.

The de-pyramided skeletons continue attacking—all futilely, except for one that manages to sink its phalanges into Xale's face (-12 HP).

You counterattack against these, the least minions of the undead. Khogeki the sensei unleashes a flurry of punches, too fast for the eye to follow, that send skeleton bones skidding across the room. Tanner and Hallagad smash two more skeletons each.

Malibran raises his holy symbol to the four remaining skeletons. "My might lawful lord Pholtus!" he cries. "May your heavenly forgiveness pierce the veil of this foul land and give these soulless creatures rest at last!" The four remaining attacking skeletons explode in clouds of bone dust. So do three of the skeletons at the base of the still-standing pyramid behind them. The pyramid, deprived of its foundation, comes crashing down. The rowboat smashes against the stone floor, ruined.

As nine skeletons rise to attack, Odilo (dice roll) sends magical bolts of energy from his fingers, blasting four of them into oblivion.

Five skeletons (and zero boats) remain in this room.
I just noticed that magic missile can only target multiple foes within a 10x10 area. At the moment I don't care that much, but it might matter in the future.

Also, because skeletons need a 20 to hit, any hit is a critical hit for double damage. Thus the 12 points Xale took from a lowly skeleton!

Malibran sets to work on the closest remaining skeleton - his holy mace delivering justice to the accursed:

THACO(9): +3 gauntlets/+4 weapon [1d20+7] = 3+7 = 10:
Mace Damage: +6 gauntlets/+4 weapon = S/M: [1d6+11] = 5+11 = 16 / L: [1d6+10] = 6+10 = 16

The Unseen Servant:

His heartbeat unchanged, the tranquil monk serenely dismantles four more skeletons.

Once the fight is ended, he calmly asks, "Friend Odilo, could you please levitate the other boat before any harm befalls it?"

Odilo "Afraid we're past time for that." the magic user replies swinging his staff at the nearest skeleton standing.

Staff of Power (Melee) THAC0: 13 [1d20+2] = 11+2 = 13 to hit, [1d6+2] = 6+2 = 8 dmg

Tanner

The black-skinned warrior steps in to attack, his foot slipping on a lost hipbone.

att[1d20+3] = 1+3 = 4

He mutters something that sounds furious.
