Because clubs were known, throughout the dungeoneering world, for being effective skull-crushers, Jaheira has it in hand as she tails Alora. She didn't expect any funny business from the remains, but powerful necromancy could be at work here. While Alora could try to hold her own in a fight, Silvanus knew that she was no warrior.
As soon as Neera enters the room, the skeletons begin to move, standing up and pulling wickedly barbed swords from under the rubble. In the time it takes them to do this, she can scream and run, so… They stand there, looking menacing.
Two of the skeletons closest to Ajantis snap to attention as he charges at them, and literally skewer him with their blades. Ajantis' charge turns into an ungainly sprawl as he goes down, having taken 14 points of damage. He is bleeding out (at -2 and dropping).

OC: It's like our Turn Undead does nothing!
"Ajantis!" Aerie cried as she ran to the fallen paladin's side, a blue light emitting from her fingers.
OC: Hmmm, I think I still have some Cure Light Wounds... >.>;;
Neera begins casting. Aerie runs to help Ajantis, and opens herself to attack. One of the skeleton stabs her for 7 damage. Aerie is also now at -2 and dying.
OOC: Wait, if I have the option can I turn undead and become a Lich? A super cute, pink haired, wild mage Lich? n_n Kidding of course. Unless you say yes. But Neera wouldn't do that. . . but what if a Wild Surge did *ahem* Let's get back to the combat.
Minsc gets stabbed for 4 points of damage. Anomen knows he can only try to turn undead once per combat, and he had his shot. (Sadly true, I'm afraid.) Arkanis runs towards the skeletons, axe held high. and the skeleton stabs him through the middle of his body, turning its sword to cause even more damage. Arkanis gasps, pales, and goes down like a sack of wet laundry (the skeleton rolled a 20). Jaheira takes 5.
Neera's spell goes off and blasts the skeleton that nearly killed Ajantis. Minsc cuts at the skeleton and breaks a few ribs. Jaheria smacks a skeletal skull for maximum damage (6!) The skull destroyed, it goes down. Alora misses.
Neera gulps as she sees her friends get hit and raises her hand to cast another spell. This time it's a Nahal's Reckless Dwemor Magic Missile aimed at the other Skeleton near Ajantis (there were two, yes?).
Jaheira can only hope that they can heal Arkanis in time, but the remaining walking dead needed crushing before that could happen. "I am in need of healing," she grunted, fighting on, nevertheless.
Angered by her injury, Jaheira brings down her club on the Skeleton's head, hits dead center (20) and breaks it into small splinters of bone. Alora hits, but her strike barely shaves down a bone. Neera's spell fizzles (rolled spell level 0!). Minsc hits and fails to do damage. Anomen destroys another skeleton. (There are 2 left.)
Jaheira rather doubted that Helm was going to do anything for Alora, but agreed that she was far cuter in her supplication than Ajantis. "There is no time to lose," she exhorts, planning to destroy the remaining skeletons and cure Aerie before it proved to be to late.

"Skellingtons! Skellingtons!" she shouts helpfully in case anyone hadn't noticed them.
SKELLENIMIES!

@Vallmyr Mages can't Turn Undead. They can try, but the undead just snicker.
"Crush the skulls!" Arkanis rush the skeletons, to aid his friends.

Next round, party wins initiative.
Arkanis lays on the floor, as stable as rock.
"Ohhhh, I hope this works!"
*Draws his mace and attacks the skeleton with the dwarven skewer.*
One skeleton misses, the other hits Anomen for 8.
Party wins initiative again.
Hit points: Aerie -3, Alora 6, Anomen 3, Arkanis 0, Jaheira 7, Minsc 7, Neera 8, Ajantis -3.
