Previously on Roll Slayers:
On a mission to rescue Red Band leader Glass's wife, Vim Populi found themselves in a mountain-side fortress facing off with who they assume was the Cult of Storms. With the help of a good plan and a well placed ballista bolt, Our heroes were able to save Glass's wife with little difficulty. Sadly, it appeared they were too late to save Gundren, the dwarf that first hired them.Having reunited with Gorliad, they learn that Glass is alive and has contacted Gorliad while they were inside. Gorliad and Glass's wife left to find Glass while Vim Populi reentered the fortress to search for more clues as to the secrets of the Cult of Storms.
Deep within they find a door guarding a dark, undead presences. After a few tries, they managed to open the arcane lock and peer inside...
And so the Adventure Continues...
Inside the room was thick with dark magic. the ground was unhallowed and covered in piles of bones from various creatures. In the center of the room, sitting atop the largest piles of bones, was large creature. A golem made of bone, stitched together by some necromantic spell.
Kev, Thoril and Estinien were the first to enter the room and investigate. Kev was the first to attack with a Guiding Bolt. However, the unhallowed nature of the room reduced the impact of the blast.
"Thunder," He muttered to himself, "Thunder." he said out load, "HIS WEAKNESS IS THUNDER!!" He shouted to the group.
He was then immediately pummeled by the Beast's massive, bony, maul-like hand.
Enlee thorn-whipped him to safety while Makaria began forming a small ball of energy in her hands. The ball shuttered with thunderous waves as she pulled at it producing two identical orbs of thunder. She hurled the balls at the creature cause the armor-like pieces to crumble away on impact.
Little by little, Vim Populi chipped away at the beast, exposing the source of the spell holding it together. A deep black gemstone, like the one on the door to the room. In a desperate grasp to slow its demise, the Skeletal Mass attempted to crush Estinien in a bony grave, but Ruk's mighty war hammer made short work of that.
It attempted to flee but a barrage of arrows from Valimir kept in its place.
Finally, Makaria hurled two more Orbs of Thunder at the heart of the beast, causing it to crumble to the floor, into dust.
Thoril, who was climbing the beast at the time of its demise, felt himself begin to fall backwards. Pushing off the bony plate he held to, he spun around and landed safely, facing away for the creature (because cool guys don't look at explosions)
...So, is that it for the Cult of Storms? Is there anything else to explore in the mountain fortress? Will the group continue the adventure after this?

And with that the battle began...
The thick skeletal hide of the creature proved resistant to a variety of attacks. It brushed off Valimir and Varis's arrows with ease. and Ruk and Estinien seemed more a nuisance than a threat. Lucky, Thoril had a plan. Changing the skeletal mass, He struck it with two precise blows. The final strike, he held a moment longer, as if was searching the deep into the surface were his hand lay. Withdrawing his hand he felt a tingle in the back of his mind."Thunder," He muttered to himself, "Thunder." he said out load, "HIS WEAKNESS IS THUNDER!!" He shouted to the group.
