Things of course could not be easy, Xune had not exactly expected the pyramid to be active in the first place, but for it to attack them so instead of spending its fury on the disposable guides was annoying. Though at least the fire aspect of her attack wasn't burning the forest or random animals it seemed, so little mercies. Xune did not want to have to deal with a bunch of pissed off elves or whatever savages would call the see home. The  skeletons were, while useful at carrying her not the smoothest ride it seemed and she had to intervene her power controlling them more directly, going from a subconscious thing to a conscious action to make sure those that carried and protected her didn't fall into the ground. She could also feel the pull on her power and found it  even more irritating that a mere relic was interfering with things so much. She weaved a few signs and wards to protect her magic that animated the skeletons from being sucked away and causing them to crumple. She really should get some more as replacement carriers. Though getting good physical skeletons was surprisingly hard when you were digging them up yourself or lurking around battle fields. well there were going to be a lot of corpses soon outside so maybe she could restock there. Regardless of that Xune bolstered the defenses of her skeletons, and might have to do so for the others, hopefully they wouldn't have their souls drawn in, that would really set her back in terms of back up plans. With ther skeletons controlled and protect Xuen would continue forward towards the entrance to the pyramid hopefully the effects would die out soon and they could explore without trying to drain them every step. 

Actions
1. control skeletons to correct their footing to keep moving
2. ward skeletons so their  magic isn't drained.
