After a slightly surprised "Thanks." as a reaction to Odlin's reaction, the warriors approaches the newly opened passage.
Stadvas looks over the edge and peers down the ladder. With a thoughtful squint, he quotes the inscription of the door, "The passage you seek is not below."
Thanks.

Odlin follows Stadvas down the ladder, carrying one of the torches in his free hand. He waits for everyone else to descend before venturing further. at the bottom his main hand draw his club as Cheese scampers out of his pocket, warily surveying the environment

Ryxikor looks at the warrior as he speaks to the group, telling them his thoughts on the puzzle. The elf seems quite surprised he didn't figure that one out, and might be a little more surprised that the warrior did. After complementing Stadvas on a task very well done, Ryx helps them move the tiles, and just slightly shakes his head at the appearance of the light and passage below, Passage below? Passage below? Where did I hear that?, the elf thinks to himself, then Stadvas speaks aloud the elf's thoughts. "Yes, I was wondering the same thing." After looking to the others and if all agree to go down, Ryx looks to see if there are any torches in sconces on the walls of this room, the hallway or the opther room. If there are torches, Ryx will grab one off the wall and light it with the torch Odlin holds, Ryxikor then walks over to the hole and drops the torch, hoping it lands on the landing. He then proceeds to make sure everything is tied tight to his backpack, then climbs down.

The group goes down the ladder and lands on a platform just big enough for the 4 of them. There is a normal stair going down 5 feet, a tiny landing, then the tunnel turn west with steep stairs. 
OOC: As the tunnel is single file. I need to know the marching order. |

Odlin is happy to be second or even the vanguard of this expedition. If no-one decides, he asks Stadvas to lead followed by Odlin then Augustine then Ryx.

Ryxikor follows the others, bringing up the rear, making sure no-one or nothing can get them from behind. He negotiates the steps, small landing, and stairs carefully. The elven thief moves slowly, using his keen hearing to listen for any dangers that may lurk ahead. The rogue stays back about five feet from Augustine and nocks an arrow to his newly found short bow.
listen: 1d20(7)+6=13
spot: 1d20(20)+2=22
balance: 1d20(10)+6=16
OOC: Are we still hurt, I don't think I have all my HP.
Speaking of HP, are we using 75% of max. So a d6 character would get 4 HP, is this correct?
DM edit: If level 2 you got 4 HP you get 5 this time (or vice versa)
And that order sounds good to me, I think a sewer rat has more HP than Ryx. Ryx the Rat, hahahahhahahahahaha

Augustine follows carefully, trusting Ryx to keep watch on the back. He wonders what has gone on in the past, to have magic protection and secret passages in a crypt, and how long it will be until they find their former employer and his allies.

Stadvas does as he is asked and leads the group, his flail in his hands. A few free fingers of his left hand draw cards one by one from the pack in his pocket and stuff them back. His face shows nothing, but he is still worrying about the warning in the riddle he quoted earlier.

Stadvas goes first, trying to see the dangers before the dangers attack him. He plays with his cards as way to release the tension. Odlin follows Stadvas, the black dragon head on his head giving him a scary look. Augustine is next and the ranger is starting to realize that once they entered the beholder room, they were out of the mausoleum as it is known to the people living in Kingsholm. They are in a much older part of the complex. May be it has something to do with the statue of the old king? He also wonder when the grave robbers will show up and will Zlak be part of them? Ryxikor is last, holding his bow with an arrow ready to shoot. He pays attention to what is in front of the group. As Stadvas enters the step stairs, he sees that the narrow passage opens into a wide landing. Two piles of bones lie near an opening to the west, where another stairway descends. The bones shift and stir. The group hears what sounds like a wolf howl, but the call seems as if it comes from far away. Two doglike skeletons rise and face you. Please roll initiative  |

Odlin is glad that he and stadvas are properly equipped to hurt the skeletons
"Guard dogs! come here puppy, i have a stick for you!" gloats the dwarf
The wizard tries to rush in to the room ahead so that Stadvas isn't left to deal with the wolves on his own.
"Come brother! we shall fend these mongrels from the hearthstone and ward peace within the Halls!" comments Odlin to a person apparently to his left
S: full defence (AC21 vs W2, else AC20)
M: move or try to until he is in E3 even if that causes AoO
init = 19
DM Edit: Cal, should Odlin AC be 16 or 17 as he lost his mage armor spell?

Odlin's first words briefly awaken a grim smirk on Stadvas' face. "Yeah, they probably won't need a bone to gnaw on." His second, much odder, remark gets no reaction. While concerned about the doubtfulness of Odlin's mental stability, he has decided it's an oddity he'll have to grow used to.
The warrior runs down the stairs, waving his flail at the closest wolf.
Init:
1d20 = 9
5-ft step to E4, since Odlin is already going to E3.
I hear E3 is not such a great place to be...
Attack roll on W1
1d20+6-2 = 5+6-2 = 9
HP 29
AC 17

Augustine steps forward to just behind his allies, cursing himself for not thinking of getting a sling while in town.
Move to F4, draw club (assuming Ilya meant F3) Initiative roll (1d20 + 3=22)Hey, initiative likes me now. Now that I am unable to do any effective amount of damage. Oh well. |

The elf moves down to the next small landing and turns abrubtly looking back up the steps from which they came. Ryxikor, with an arrow nocked, watches carefully, not allowing anyone to come from behind and catch them unawares, in a narrow passage and on steps.
init: 1d20(7)+3=10
listen: 1d20(8)+6=14
spot: 1d20(5)+2=7
looks like there is enough room for a 2 on 2 battle.

Initiative: Odlin, Ryxikor, Stadvas, Augustine (delayed until Stadvas), Skeletons Odlin, in a mad run uncharacteristic of a wizard goes to face the second skeleton. In doing so, he gets bitten by the first wolf skeleton who took advantage of the opportunity. Once he is there, he goes in full defense mode. Ryxikor stays in the back, in case the tomb robbers have left other presents for the pursuers. Given the amount of undead, he wonders it is the work of an evil cleric. Stadvas move forward and attacks the first wolf skeleton but fails miserably to break its bones. Augustine is on the stairs, upset that he did not get any weapons to do a lot of damages to skeletons. He remembers that in the absence of Jukia, he is the one with the wand of CLW. The first skeleton fails to bite the warrior but the second one scores a great bite and hurt the dwarf even more.  : Odlin: 10- HP of damages – currently at 6/19
OOC: Cal, see my comment in your original post. If I am wrong, Odlin get not damages |

Augustine drops his bow and pulls out his wand, healing Odlin. He asks the dwarf if he wants to switch spots, if so he draws his club and moves into the space Odlin was in, if not, he merely draws his club and waits.
heal on Odlin (1d8 + 1=8) |
