"A cult, by the look of it," Regulus said. "But were they meaning to die, or did they call something that they could not control?"

"Hard to tell with this kind of lot. I'd wager that we'll be findin' out pretty soon, though." Pastoval carefully closer to the skeletons, and he sniffs some of the liquid around them in an attempt to determine what it is.

The liquid on the floor was a poison, clear as day. There was nothing to hide the smell of the toxins, not even some kind of juice or alcohol.

"Poison, not even bothering to hide it. Looks to me like they wanted to die."

"So a death cult it is then.", Larius mumbled. "Maybe they tried to turn themselves into Lichs and failed? Or they didn't and are just pretending to be dead."
Kneeling down on the ground, his staff in front of him, the Necromancer attempted to raise one of the skeletons from the dead. They wouldn't be able to tell the group anything useful but would probably be a valuable asset in battle.

Pastoval walks closer to the skeletons. He inspects them as closely as he can without dropping his guard, "Anyone feel like takin' a risk with one of these rings?"

The skeleton's bones rattled and shook before it stood up from where he was left. It sure did prove he was dead. The Skeleton is now under Larius's control.

The remaining ways to advance to other rooms were the stairs on the right and the doors further down. None of the bodies seemed to have anything else of any worth aside from those rings.

"Not I," Regulus replied. "Perhaps we might take them with us, if nothing else of value can be found. But that is a decision for later."

Regulus started towards the doors with his lantern. "I say we clear this floor before ascending. I'd rather not be caught on a flight of stairs with foes both ahead and behind."

Pastoval moves next to Regulus and walks with him toward the doors, "Aye, seems like the most sensible plan." Pastoval remains alert and perceptive. He hope to detect and intercept any possible threats before they can target his less physically adept companions.

The door seemed to be unlocked and the putrid smell of the rancid flesh was still coating the room. However, if he could get past the smell, there would be something behind the door. They seemed to be growling with the sound of flesh being torn. They must have been eating something-or someone-and they haven't detected them yet.

"Are you able to manage another flash, if I open the door?" Regulus asked his feline companion as he raised his right hand, refilling his reservoir of water around it. "Or perhaps we should use a skeleton as bait."

"Hello?"

Richard's head poked around the corner of the door behind them.

"Anything wrong over here?"

Pastoval flicks his tail in a way to motion Richard over to them. "If you tear open the door and get out of the way, I'll blind whatever's back there," Pastoval says with faint dots of light beginning to surround him once more.

"Uh...That's not exactly something I can do."

He approaches them, a bit cautiously.

"I can blow it down though."

"Explosions.", Larius muttered.
"Loud, shockwaves, essentially impossible to miss. Very likely to alert half the inhabitants of this dungeon to our position. I'd prefer looking for another way. Melting the hinges, then blasting the door into the corridor at whatever's behind it would be an option."

"Well, why not just bash it down? I can do that with magic."

The lights around Pastoval begin to glow brighter as the spell is ready to be cast, "It looks unlocked to me. If one of you open it, I'll try an' blind whatever's there. You can blast away then."

"Just give me a moment then."

He creates three sphere, filling them with fire. A fourth sphere is a lump of iron.

"Allow me to get it open without getting near it."

"Or I could just open it," Regulus said, a tendril of water reaching out from his reservoir towards the door nob, "and then you," with a nod towards the new-comer, "can show it into the next world".

As the group discussed this, a serious of noises could be heard from behind said door. It seemed that whatever was there was coming.

Pastoval hears the noises and his entire body tenses, "Boys you better be ready, here it comes." He rears up on his hind legs and slams his forelegs into the door in an attempt to knock it down. If he succeeds, he'll immediately cast his spell to light up the room and hopefully blind whatever is in it.

As the door is blown off it's hinges-it was rather old-the creature on the other end would be blinded by the cat-like creatures's spell. The creature in question looked to be human...a human with rotting flesh and eyes black as coal.

Zombie

Some people don't understand that when you die, you're meant to stay dead. Don't listen to the movies and comic books, Zombies are incredibly fast and capable of leaping to great heights-after all, they've lost quite a lot of weight. How can these creatures walk around when they're technically dead? I don't know!

WARNING: Zombies tend to hunt in packs. If you see one, many aren't far behind. Also, do NOT let any fluids into open wounds. It won't be pretty...

"Here goes!"

He sends the lump of iron for the zombie's head, while sending the balls of fire past him to light up the area behind him.

The Zombie's head was shot clean off. And like any other Zombie, without the head-or rather, the brain, it goes back to being just a corpse. The flaming ball illuminates the room and exposes the group to what's inside. Sadly, it also alerts them to their presence.

"...Kill...them...!" hissed one of the undead creatures that seemed to be in the far back in a group of other Zombies. This one seemed to hold some kind of staff with a horned-skull at the tip, pointing it at the party as the Zombies stood up and rushed at them.

Zombie Hoard(10)

A group of Zombies is either incredibly bad or really annoying, depending on the numbers. But being covered in undead monsters is only fun once.

Lich

An advance Zombie that seems to dabble in some form of Necromancy. How can a creature missing 95% of its brain cast spells? Again, I don't know, but Lichs seem to be smart enough to talk and smart enough to make commands, so maybe it still has a functioning brain...it just wants yours.

Richard sends the balls of flame at the Lich, sensing him to be the most powerful threat, while leaving the zombie hoard to the others to handle for the moment.
