One Short Of A Baker's Dozen
Changing Of The Tides?
Early Afternoon, Warm Clear
Outside
In a sudden turn of events,
almost everyone decides to get on board with the concept of
combining their efforts against this dangerous adversary. Seeing the skeletons climbing up for them, Gyb takes off towards Meinhardt, who backs away a little more as he reaches out to take the staff from his invisible Servant. As soon as he touches the oddly carved wooden weapon, he freezes in place for a moment while Gyb looks on, clearly alarmed.
Can I get a Save vs. Death from Meinhardt please?

With Renna and Crobeus still lying prone on the ground at the base of the cliff ledge, the others accost the red robed Priest simultaneously for the first time. And for the first time, the man starts to look concerned. Stobart smacks him in the face with his staff, which staggers him for a second, before Bugs tries again to penetrate the thick metal armor under his robes to no avail. Glad to have resisted the obvious spell cast upon him, Pimlan steps in with a quick sword thrust to the man's hip, slipping his blade through armor and flesh before pulling it out bloodied.
Still portraying his demeanor of strength, the man looks over his trio of opponents carefully, searching for the weakest link or some other opening he might exploit. Quickly deciding that it would be easiest to eliminate a wounded enemy, he strikes at Pimlan and hits him hard in the head with his mace, knocking the Halfling to the ground completely unconscious
6 dam, while increasing the growing tally of downed party members.

Inside
At the cave entrance, Magda, Ithrandir, and the 2 gnolls continue to punish the mass of Skeletons as they enter. They knock down 2 more, as Loyn rips apart 2 others with his
bear paws, spitting out bone fragments as he bites into another. While they let more and more into the cave, to give everyone a target, one Gnoll is overtaken, knocked to the cave floor and pummelled by the oncoming horde. It seems that for every one they drop, another makes its way through the opening. And there is no end to the mass they can see outside the entrance. Somehow, nobody else in this group takes an injury besides the fallen Gnoll.
Deeper inside the complex, the spear point continues to press the attack. Though the masked figure in the green mist seems prepared to cast again, once he is hit multiple times again, his tune seems to change. Taking damage from both spell and arrow, the figure falls back deeper, moving beyond the green mist to the empty hallway behind it. This cowardly act infuriates Tammuz, who charges back into the cloud of horrible smelling vapors, where he immediately doubles over and starts to heave again.
Beyond the green haze and the loud din of battle, a single wooden door can be heard closing in the distance.
