Mira moves alongside Jerry, her attention somewhat distracted by Karl and Elsa, "More of these things. We need to remember to bash the damn things!" She reminds herself, "They don't seem to be moving, is it worth waiting a little for Pyros to be himself again?"

Mira considers the Bridge and its guardians, attempting to see if she remembers any stories she might have read on the subject, or anything related to the crown.

A little bit of everything [1d100] = 9 (25%) PASS!!

"Good idea/ As long as we do sort them out," Jerry accepts the pause (and postpones casting the second spell).
She continues by asking about the crown, "This thing we're looking for, do we actually know anything about it?"

Mira searches her memory about the tales of the crown, but nothing regarding a bone bridge was mentioned, she is sure of it. There was mention of many Guardians, but the details of those were vague at best.

====
She did pass but there was no information available on this in any of the research.

The research has shown that the crown itself is a powerful Artifact and that it has, at least on one occasion, moved people between planes. Akriel told the party that she believes her paramour with his vast Library, kind heart and Keen mind should be able to puzzle out how to use it to send the party home.

"Merrick, you ever heard of any of this?" asks Jerry, gesturing at the fire-containing skeletons and the bone constructions beyond.
She adds in a louder tone, "Or has anyone even dreamed about this stuff?"

While waiting for Pyros to gain mobility, something she'd never dreamed of waiting for, the priestess asks, "Anyone still hurt?"
[If she can use Healing NWP then she does so.]

In time remaining (for Pyros's recovery) Jerry has a look around for stones suitable for slinging.

***
When the group is about ready to test the fire-skeletons, Jerry prepares with the "Magic Stone" spell, and then confirms, "Ready, here!" as she gets out her sling.

"Then I suppose we wait?" Karl asks, his attention turning to Mira, "These are strange foes indeed, it is said that Lord Soth himself rides with a hoard of such creatures, yet they are nothing compared to.." He waves his arm in the air to encompass the skeleton before him. "I fear without my blade, I will struggle to be effective, its loss is a grave one indeed."

Jerry grimaces, "I can only sympathise, Sir Karl. I'd be less for the loss of mine. Yours must be keener."

[Where would the party like to hole-up to wait?]

Jerry asks her question of Merrick, turning to glance at him when he doesn't respond after a moment. A look of shock is on his features as he stares amazed at the skeletal construction of monstrous proportions before him. Finally he snaps out of it, shirking back from the sentinels and towering central feature. Ah... uhh.... this is wholly outside my experiences...



===
No one has had any dreams about this specifically. While they have had elements of truth to them, they have certainly not been comprehensive...

Jerry cast Regenerate Light Wounds on herself. can i get a [1d4+1] roll for duration pls

Whom would Jerry like to heal?
The only one injured durng this combat was Pyros, and he has been healed magically since the fall.

Residual party damage:
Adrestia [23/30]
Jerry [15/18]
Karl [31/35]
Merrick [9/11]
Pytor [21/32]

Adran, Art, Cross, Elsa and Mira are at full

"I think we wait for the Kender." Cross will keep alert.

"Any change outside?" He will think to Fenrir.

"Sure, lets wait." Mira sits crosslegged her back against the table as she rests her crossbow in her lap, patting the space beside her she sits and waits with the Kender, ushering Elsa towards her.

(Mira is going to wait near the pit, keeping an eye for anymore creatures coming towards them)

Jerry lays a hsnd on Pytor, healing some of his wounds. She then applies a regenerative spell to herself, which begins immediately and gradually heals her completely. She then sets about searching and finds 5 stones worthy of slinging.

Fenrir indicates there is no change.

After waiting 3 hours, Pyros is able to move again!

=====
Jerry casts Cure Light Wounds on Pytor who is healed for [1d8] = 4hps
Jerry's Regenerate light wounds spell heals her for 3 hps up to full! (over three rounds)

Elsa casts Cure Light Wounds on Pytor who is healed for [1d8] = 6
Elsa casts Cure Light Wounds on Adrestia who is healed for [1d8] = 6

Residual party damage:
Adrestia [29/30]
Karl [31/35]
Merrick [9/11]
Pytor [31/32]

When Pyrs is mobile again Jerry casts Magic Stone ready for the group to start tackling the fire-skeletons. "I recommend we concentrate on finishing the one on the left, where possible. Crushing weapons are likely to be more effective."

First he feels a tingle, then a twitch, then all at once hes body bursts free, in what some might call a spasm.

"WOWWEEEWWWOWWWEEE WOW!" He shivers and shakes.

"I don't recommend that. So what is everyone standing here for... I thought there was some amazing fire skeletons to check out! Blunt weapons hey?!" He pulls out his studded club... unless it is damaged beyond using.

======================
Cross chuckles.
"Welcome back little friend." In Kender.
