Barrow of the Forgotten King - GM Turn Post 127

Leaping to his feet, the man on the throne draws his blades and descends from the dais. As he does, the bejeweled throne fades into a plain stone seat. The man's hair withdraws under the crown, and his skin grays and runs, revealing bone and muscle beneath. His armor sags and corrodes, seemingly grafting to his distended flesh along with the crown, which has lost all luster. Lidless, his eyes burn with madness.

"How dare you come here?" he howls. "Now you shall share my pain. Knights, to arms!"

The statue of the mounted figure in the corner changes to reveal a lance-bearing skeletal warrior atop a skeletal horse. A clatter from the passage to the west suggests more trouble.

  1. Initiative: 14+1+6= 21

    Before I declare my actions:
    1) Where shall we move so we don't go out like Custer?
    2) Is Banjo off his meds? :)

  8. The Skeletal Horsemen have lances which give them reach (At least with the weapon).

    Thurstan is pretty sure that the man from the throne is not undead despite his appearance. He is not sure about the skeletal warriors but they look like skeletons and appear to be bonded to the horses (They are one creature).

    Dave,

    I need an initiative value for Banjo.

    Matt F,

    Which weapon are you using? Bastard sword or flail?

    My intent is to pin the horseman in and kill him before he provides flanking, hopefully.
