Bash them!

You take a final deep breath to steady your nerves, focusing on the fight you are about to enter. "I can do this. There are only 4 of them and they are really weak. I just have to take them out fast... Okey... LET'S GO!" You give yourself a short pep-talk, before you exit the passage.

You start running as fast as you can towards the closest skeleton and before they even notice you, you swing your torch right at it's head, sending the head flying off it's shoulders and breaking against the wall behind it.

6 damage

The rest of the skeleton's body burst into a glittery cloud of smoke, then dissapears, leaving a small blue orb, floating a few centimeters off the floor.

Gained 10 Exp

You look over at the rest of the skeletons, who are now advancing towards you, very slowly.

"So, you want some too, huh?" You yell at them, now full of confidence. You change your stance a bit, preparing to make a leaping attack as soon as one of them is close enough, you hope that by doing that, your body's weight and momentum might do some more damage.

One of the skeletons are now barely a meter away from you, now is your chance. You bend your knees and try to do the heighest leap you can towards the skeleton. In the air your grab your torch with both hands and swing it downwards, bashing it down into the skeletons head, which crumbles into pieces, making the rest of it burst into the same type of glittery smoke as the other skeleton.

NEW ABILITY : Leaping Strike Lv. 1
By focusing your strength into your legs, you can make a leap into the air, using your bodyweight and momentum to improve your downward attack.

"Holy shit, I get new abilities like this! This is so awesome!". In your excitement, you almost forget about the two other skeletons who has moved even closer.

The first skeleton swings at you with it's bend, rusty shortsword, which hits you right across your quad.

-2 hp

"Ouch, you little fucker!" You yell at him, while taking a big step away from him. You look down at your leg to see the damage. It seems like it barely cut you since it's weapon is so damaged, the blade must be blunt too. "Whew, that would have sucked if it was sharp." you think as you start taking this a bit more serious.

You push air out of your nostrils as you look at the two skeletons left in the room. "You're next!" You yell as you point towards the skeleton who cut you, trying to intimidate it. Your comment doesn't seem to work though, as they both keep up their advance towards you.

Once again you bend your knees and leap into the air, bringing the torch down onto the skeletons head.

12 damage

Gained 10 EXP

As the previous two, this skeleton crumbles under your attack too, leaving a blue orb on the ground below you.

The last skeleton walks over to you and tries to swing his rusty axe at you. This time you are ready though, and you quickly move out of the way.

NEW ABILITY : Reflexes Lv. 1 (Passive)
Makes your body react to incoming dangers without thinking.

"That's going to be very useful." you say to yourself as you take a step towards the remaining skeleton, this time making a kick towards it's body, like you are kicking a football.

6 damage

Your kick knocks it to the ground, making it's bones snap and break as it lands hard, until it turns into a blue orb too.

Gained 10 EXP

You make a quick scan of the room to see if there are anymore dangers. You decide that it seems safe enough and fall to the grounds, laying on your back, sweating and breathing heavily. "That... was harder... than I expected..." You say between breaths, until you finally start to laugh a little bit.

You sit up, looking around once again and see a few of the blue orbs floating on the ground.
