Skeletons were no threat to Terra. While she did suffer a few cuts and bruises from their weapons, ultimately the skeletons were elimiated by a mixture of Terra's attacks and the traps previously set in the ruins meant to ward off invaders. Terra had been able to navigate through the traps safely, the same could not have been said for the skeletons chasing her. She made use of a swinging pendulum trap she had previously encountered and avoided it's blades long enough to by pass them entirely. The horde of skeletons followed her, ignorant to the old rusty but still very much deadly blades that swung infinitely. None made it through alive. After collecting what little valuables they had on them, Terra resumed her exploration of the ruins, this time using her crossbow instead of her main two weapons in order to maximize the damage she can do with a sneak attack. 

Crouching low to the ground Terra slowly made her way through the corridors. She spied more skeletons standing guards, seemingly awaiting for her arrival. They walked around aimlessly, paroling a hallway with nothing of noteworthy value inside. Loading an explosive bolt, Terra waited until the skeletons grouped together before she sent it flying, destroying five and and setting the last two on fire.

But it was than that a trap had sprung unknowingly on Terra. The walls behind her bang to violently close on themselves, and would do the same to her if she did not avoid them. Terra sprang forward and barely managed to prevent herself from becoming flatten. She had immediately loaded another exploding crossbow bolt to finish off the other two skeletons, had she not been aware of an even greater threat.

Just at the end of the hall was some sort of creature chained to a monument. It seemed that in all the commotion, the creature had awakened. When Terra revealed herself, the creature looked at her with a ghastly visage before breaking free of it's bonds. From there the monstrous being roared so loudly that it caused dust to fall from the ceiling, and shattered the remaining skeletons. The monster was a demon, who was sealed in stone up till very recently. Terra did not hesitate to shoot an exploding bolt at the demon, landing it it's chest. This one was made with ice magic, and caused solid ice to cover the demon. But the demon caused an explosion of fire from it's body, clearing the ice as soon as it began to cover the demon.
