The closest soldier never saw it coming as the war pick punctures his spine and he crumples screaming to the stone floor. The 2 other soldiers spin on the heels, swords at the ready. Their faces clouding for battle!
[end of surprise round.]
[Tillak state intentions and roll initiative. This is Tillak's 2 attacks round if he chooses to fight.]
[Understood. Thank you.]
Tillak will attack again.
1st attack: 1d20: 15 + 1 = 16!
2nd attack: 1d20: 1 + 1. = 2!💩💩💩Tilllak attacks quickly, but only his first blow finding flesh.
[Tillak roll d8 for damage]
1d8: 1 + 2 = 3!!

[I'm about to head out on the road, so I'll state intentions and roll initiative now.]
Tillak will continue to swing for the fences!
Initiative => 1d6: 6!
To hit roll => 1d20: 19! => + 1 = 20!
Damage: 1d8: 6 + 2 =:8!

[5 for a Fighter is treble damage so,
d8= 4(x3) =12 + 2 = 14 HP]
A second skeleton falls in a heap of bones!
The final skeleton lunges! 18! and its rusty knife penetrates the barbarian! 2!

Tillak has the upperhand, but his has no sign of the man beast!
His pick punctures the 2nd soldier's neck causing him to drop his weapon to the ground and clasp at his throat to stop the bloodflow. He falls to his kness gasping but still alive!
The third soldier seeks vengence and swings his bright blade! 11! a near miss.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Votin searches the skeletons foe anything worthwhile and scoops up the knives if they are useful.
He tends to his wounds as best as he can then inspects the tunnel these skeletons came out of.

Around the hipbone in one of the piles is buried a tattered cloth bag.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Votin opens the cloth bag and examines the contents.
The torch begins to flicker, nearly forgotten on the stone floor, after the melee ends.
Votin snaps the bone, freeing the decaying cloth bag. It has heft. Carefully peering inside, he sees the gemstones.
He slowly pours them out into his hand, 7 small garnets, which might fetch 100 gold.
Then a large heavy stone the size of a ripe plum falls into his palm - knocking the garnets to scatter on the floor.
Votin's eyes widen- he's staring into the swirl of an impossibly rare and fabled Oriental Emerald!!
[Votin + 7 garnets, +1 Oriental emerald.]
[Votin + 3907 XP]
[Votin roll +d12HP and check your FA.]
