- Jacques Yves Cousteau
The dead rise like the tides.
To learn more about how The Skeletons is played check out our primer episode.
Rusted Shirt (Chris Littler) - a humanoid skeleton armored in rusted chain and carrying a bent spear.
Big Head (Tim Rodriguez) - a skeleton with a silver amulet about its neck and a silver circlet about its swollen disproportionate skull.
Headless (Ken Breese) - a humanoid skeleton with no head wielding a pair of holy symbols.
Crawler (John Holt) - a bent humanoid skeleton with a fine coat and a chipped dagger.
The tomb is a pyramid floating tip-down over a deep sea trench. The flat base rides just beneath the waves and a little deeper on the north and south side are air chambers to enter. From each of those chambers a pair of passages twist down towards the tip where sits the crypt. The coffin is suspended by chains from the tip.
