Thane and Delgar fire their weapons into the hoard over Oberon's head and two more skeletons go down. Rethal pulls out his long sword and damages another while Oberon is able to do the same. Oberon's first attack misses, but his second lands solidly and staggers his target.
The skeletons swarm around Rethal and Oberon and they are attacked by three skeletons each. Rethal takes two vicious attacks (5 & 4 HP). Oberon takes two as well, but his fine chain mail keeps them from doing too much damage (1 & 4 HP).

"Just like shooting at target practice" Says Thane as he fires more arrows at the skeletons.
“Gentlemen I admire your courage standing in the door way to fight the skeletons, do you think you will live to see the end of them.” Not sure if I get to toss 3 more darts but I think I can so I will try to hit some of them. “May the gods favour these darts to destroy these abominations! Might I suggest we retreat and see if the skeletons follow us? If they do we can book it back towards the town.”
"I agree I don't think its worth your lives to hold that door when we can continue to back away and use our ranged weapons to wear them down don't think of it as a retreat but a regrouping" I will load another bullet into my sling and attack one near rethal trying to help him out as it appears he got hurt pretty badly
Out of Character: I was backing to and out of the door so they did not attack the mages. I can take a few blows but not a lot. Now that we are at door we can cross over and out to see if they do follow.
In Character: Rethal tells Oberon to back out of the cave and see is they still follow us. We can have the others keep backing up to so that they get back towards the road through the thickets. Rethal will keep attacking if followed outside the cave.
Oberon yells over his shoulder as he backs up. "Two of you grab the rope I dropped. As soon as we back past it, pull is across the doorway about a foot off the ground. It'll make a tripwire for the skeletons and buy us some time."
Three more skeletons go down in a hail of sling bullets and arrows. As soon as Rethal and Oberon back out of the cave (It's the only place to back up to), the door slides shut blocking you off from the skeletons and the cave.
In Character "Well thank the gods for that today. You gentleman ok? So what is the plan now? Shall we search this area to see if we can find a hidey hole so we can rest up and tend to your wounds or should we head back to town and see if we could find a nice cleric to join our party?"
Out of character = I didn't not realize we did not have a cleric. If it is OK with OZ I can switch over to being a cleric instead of a mage so this adventure can continue with having a more balance party.
