The mage scanned the room as ghostly flames waved to a non-existent breeze. A chill flowed from the very walls, sinking into the chamber. The group stood silent, watching every shadow, waiting with bated breath.

The stone doors trembled, dust falling like an earthy waterfall. A scraping sound filled the large chamber, each of the stone doors sliding open. Moans dripped from the darkness as skeletal fingers grasped at the stone lids.

“Not doors, sarcophagi,” Dax said as his eyes narrowed. “No one attack yet. We have to see if they are connected to the puzzle.”

Symon’s left hand crackled with energy. “What’s going to stop them from attacking us?”

“Dax is right, we have to observe them and see how they fit with the puzzle,” Nuria growled.

A few pairs of eyes glanced to the mage, wondering if she just said what they heard.

The lids opened completely, bones and armor lurching out. Old swords were pulled from decaying sheaths as hollow eyes stared at the living bodies in the middle of the chamber. Boots shifted and stepped forward. The shadows grew longer as armored skeletons moved in unison, placing another step forward to the foul life in their home.

Dax studied them, watching them slowly advance. Small chains hung from their necks but sank down below plate mail breastplates.

“Does everyone see the chains around their necks?” Dax asked with a whisper.

Heads nodded in unison.

“I think we need them. Aim for their heads and no area of attack spells. We can’t risk damaging them if they are needed for the puzzle,” Dax ordered.

“Just use lightning spells,” Vance followed up.

Pages in spellbooks flipped to new spells. Zarra eyed the undead, her normally blank expression filled with a simmering rage. Fern’s hair turned blood red as she gave a manic smile. Symon stared with cool eyes, planning his moves and counter moves.

The undead closed in, ancient warriors with urges to snuff out their living lights.

“Now!” Dax shouted and aimed his lightning card.

Magical energies bloomed and fired out in all directions. Dax’s card went off first, lightning arcing forward and crashing into a helmeted head, caving it in and shattering the skull. The skeleton crumpled instantly, falling into a heap of armor and bones.

Nuria and Vance were next, blasting out lightning bolts. Each one struck a skull, blasting them to pieces. The mages channeled their mana and incantations, ready to release a new volley.

A white aura appeared around Zarra before she pointed her staff. White energy glowed at the end of the staff before it shot forth in three, simultaneous bolts. Holy energy slammed into armored chests, the skeletons letting out inhuman moans before they fell into heaps.

“Come on fuckers!” Fern shouted before she blasted forward.

Symon pointed his hand and unleashed a lightning bolt as the fairy swung her rune covered mace at an armored head. Skulls went spiraling through the air as lightning struck breastplates. Energy arced, the undead falling to their knees and then falling to pieces.

The fairy laughed as she slammed her mace into an armored head, denting it but sending the skull flying from its decayed neck.
