Scene:
A medieval town at dusk. The air outside smells of petrichor and the wind picked up.

A bartender spits inside a clean mug and starts polishing it from inside with a greasy rag.

"Sure's quiet round these parts this time of the year"

He listens to the wind outside.

"Yup. Sure hope no loving skeletons show up."

The beast we awoke hath been untamed
Eyes of fireth and wings of a flame
I, a skeleton who was unnoticed in the back of the bar somehow sheds a single tear.

Aleuts rock, chummer.

My skeleton rear end announces loudly to the tavern that I have a huge boner. Then with a cheeky grin while everyone is annoyed with my poo poo I order a beer and a mop.

A loud crack shivers the tavern door.

"Open in the name of Mordor!"

I peep my bare skull inside.

"Just kidding. A little joke we skeletons have. What's on tap, fleshling?"

The Bartender tries to look cool (rolls 8 against a DC 25)

The Bartender, seemingly uncomfortable, tries to quickly look up to assess the skeleton situation. But every time he decides to look up, everyone's looking back. And when he makes eye contact he flinches first. Every time. He's not looking cool or tough at all.

"Now where did I put the..." he mutters, sweating.

He's now prone behind the bar thinking about his next move in a battle happening entirely in his own mind.

The tavern's interior is dominated by three hovering skeleton balls emitting arcane energy. They are 8 inch in diameter, imperfect, shifting spheres of tiny femurs. An adventuring party of skeletons left them there as a practical joke on the barkeep. He never dared to approach the orbs and elected to rearrange the tables instead.

Only Saalkin the skeleton shedding a single tear knows this information.

Good point -- I should probably mention to the DM that I'm a mixed Beholder / Gnome / Fire Giant, as soon as I get the printer working I'll get you my 17 page rule module that is totally not game breaking and minmaxed and explains why you should allow that
