"Drezden, Zedd - you both know something of this area. Do those soldiers look like they could be Randal Morn's men?"

Zedd squints in the sun, shading his eyes with his hand. "Hmm...it is possible, but I don't believe so. The Freedom Riders are usually mounted, and even when they are not, they don't usually march in such a precise military formation like that."

Drezden points out the odd soldiers to the others and offers "I can keep moving up to get a better look or we all can march a bit closer and see what we can. I don't think it is Zhents they would all be uniform and in better formation at the least their armor would all match."

"Well, they are marching right toward us, so a third option would be to just wait for them to arrive," Zedd observes.

Drezden "True that or we could as a fourth option send the most charismatic to go parley with them."

Drezden "True that or we could as a fourth option send the most charismatic to go parley with them." Oh yeah! That sounds like a great idea! Kendrivel agrees, setting off in their direction stealthily.
==== probably plenty of time for someone to ask him to stop

"Ahem!" Malavar clears his throat. "Whoever they are, they're coming right at us, and if we've seen them, they've more than likely seen us. There's no need for anyone to go on ahead, Master Kendrivel," he says. "By all means, let's keep our swords handy, but we can just wait and see who they are and what they want."

Coming to a halt, the party waits and watches as the soldiers approach. Once they are about 300 feet away, their features can be seen more clearly. And it becomes obvious at this point that these soldiers have no skin, blood or internal organs--they are skeletons. They are armed with simple short swords, and at their current speed, should reach the party in a couple of minutes. ============ (OOC: Funnily enough, Kendrivel is, in fact, the most charismatic in the party. )

"I will call on the blessings of Tempus to guide our blows," Malavar says. "Remember, against skeletons only crushing weapons will be fully effective. Once my spell is cast, I will stand in the line, warhammer in hand. Zedd, will you consider asking Tymora to banish these abominations from our presence?"
OOC: Casting bless on the group when the skeletons are close enough for the duration to last.
Edit: Once he's cast bless and combat has started, Malavar will wade into melee with warhammer and shield. Since I'll have difficulty posting for a couple of days, feel free to NPC him.

"Well, so much for my spinning coins," Zedd jokes, drawing out his club. "Banish them? I suppose I could try, but then they'll scatter to the winds. I'd rather take them out, so they won't hurt anyone else. Worry not, they are only skeletons. I'm sure after everything this group has faced, they'll be no more than a minor nuisance."

Drezden "Dunno about minor they did a bad number on the lot of us in that sunken tower. As for bludgeoning weapons I don't have any, closest I have would be my hand axe. But I'm gonna stick with my magic sword." the dwarven ranger says drawing his magical broad sword.

Once the skeletons are about 180 feet away, they draw their short swords in perfect unison. They remain in formation, but continue forward toward the party. Malavar begins praying to Tempus for a blessing, and everyone gets ready to attack.
==============
(OOC: Anyone who wants to take a ranged attack before they get closer can do so now.)
