Joe quietly pouts in the corner, eyeing the booze longingly.
((Oh dear, it appears that I've neglected to post. Apologies.))
Wait snugly.
snuggle up with Pantagruel, also waiting snugly
"There's a couple members of our group still out in the street, is there a reasonable chance of saving them, or are they pretty much dead?"
"If they get caught they're dead. Last time we killed a patrol and hung around to watch, the captain showed up with a group of eighty or so to curbstomp us."
"Who exactly is this captain? Another skeleton, or something different?"
Continue hiding until stuff quiets down.
"shh, talk after."You all hide out of sight of the windows, as the ringing in the street fades and you continue to hear movement outside, though it has become less of the clicking sound of bone on stone and more of a fleshy slapping of bare feet on hard rock.
((That 'ninja' seems to be very well versed in modern-esque neologism. 
Though I'd prefer not calling him a ninja due to my nagging lore-sense. He ain't looked down to by our society!
Also I believe I didn't see what said skeleton is holding, yes? Anyways.. :3))

Akari traced her steps back from her position--seeing the path as clear as her memory followed--and breathed in the cold, foggy air and smelled a scent that triggered her vivid dream.
The smell of blood.
The scent; familiar as it was to her, the feeling of now and before was blurred, seen with holism, but from another's eye.
She faced the lone skeleton and felt the tinge of the burning flame creep along her right hand. Her body straightened and she adopted a stance resembling a readied sword.
She remembers.
On an airship, about a thousand feet and more above the snowy caps of the northern mountains, her memories traveled. She was with another party, and in another battle--back when she explored the land with frivolity, carefree of all labors but that which was needed to sustain herself. The near glance of death met her during that day, but all were safe and sound, save for most of the casualties beforehand.
She knew this wouldn't be the day.
"I am not afraid to die."
Purge this alley of the skeletal filth, then rest a while.
If possible, and if this all works out cleanly (and I am rested), examine my wound.
Head back, if all is stable.
Where are your allies when you need them.
Akari will: 1-1
Nope, no flame for you...
I'm not sure how you want to react to the spell failing, so you're going to be a little behind the others chronologically. I'll run the rest of your turn as soon as you post it. the options that come to mind are "try again", "attack physically", and "run away", but you might think of something else.
oh, and resting for your headache would basically just take not casting for several turns, since you
keep on casting the
overdid it while casting headache is still there.
Two left... He might be able to deal with two and have the strength left to stitch himself back together. Maybe.
Turn and draw, hopefully decapitating the skeleton in the same motion. Otherwise, just kill them. Fast. Can't afford to let this get drawn out.

Merik spins about, drawing his blade, and manages to clip the skeleton on the side of its skull in the same motion, but the blow isn't clean and doesn't seem to have done more than chip it slightly. the skeleton makes a clumsy blow of its own, which Merik efforlessly sidesteps and makes a counterstrike, still aiming for the skeleton's head. this one lands much more cleanly, and a line of cracks spread across the skeleton's skull just before it collapses in a heap before him... which is good, because the other two skeletons are closing in, and Merik is beginning to feel the effects of his massive and continuing blood loss, though he's still able to function for now.
((Our allies are now dependent on our fellow "ninja". Good work Lenglon 
I recall there was some sort of staircase going down in a warehouse or so? Bleh, anyways..))
yep, staircase is there. it's clearly visible from the windows though.
