— Dorothy Parker

The bones of the unknown rise to defend a disturbed tomb.

To learn more about how The Skeletons is played check out our primer episode.


The characters for this game:

Horror (Liza Cortright) - the bones of a number of creatures cobbled together into a 'living' weapon.

The tomb is in the center of a complex. The floor of the tomb is littered with perpetual orchid blossoms. A silver artifact sits in an alcove in the corner of the tomb. A pair of towers is connected with a span over cavernous depths. A room with a slanted floor, a grate and shackles is to the south.
