The horse buckled and bones broke as your staff crushed its legs, causing the beast to lurch forward as one of its legs snapped clean off. Against a living beast this would have been a death blow, but such things aren’t as critical for the undead. Still it was a considerable amount of damage. Not only that but right after the blow, your strike failed to connect with the rider’s skull, but at the same time the rider’s own attempt to stab at you also fails as it had to both defend itself from your attack as well as try to balance itself from the horse’s injury.

Meanwhile Pylia bursted forth from the brush, having gotten to a somewhat more advantageous position to flank the skeletal monster with you. She had her shield raised in a defensive position in order to better defend herself as she distracted the skeleton for you. “Quick Sylvia, finish him off while his attention is on me!”

Skeleton Spear Attack = [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/14395]3[/url]

Skeleton Warhorse does nothing this round. One of its legs has been shattered, lowering movement speed and weakening its hooves attack.

Pylia moves into melee with the skeleton monsters and uses a help action to give Sylvia advantage on her next attack vs the rider.
