She asks Pyros, "May I have a look at your thron bracelet, please?" and tries to see if it's magical and also its aura.

He will proudly produce it.

Jerry inspects the bracelet, which glows with a steady magical aura of necromacy.

Jerry senses an aura of Necromacy

That's the real one, isn't it? We finally found it?! Elsa says, excitedly. Good, let's get the Hells out of here! But... which way? she asks, staring between the four different arches

====
Counting upper right as 1, let's call them clockwise 1, 2, 3, 4

Pyros makes sure to help collect the rope so it doesn't get stuck.

"Seems like this has become a high demand object." As he loops it and hands it back to Artanis.

He then looks at the arches.

"Well we all came the same way, but appeared at different ones. I would think dealer's choice as which one to take. Unless!!"
He will go check them all out to see if there is any markings.

Each seems made in the same manner and have no obvious differences

Looking north Jerry offers, "We should take the right route." She points to the eastern path. "Unless anyone knows better?" She shuffles up to stand next to Merrick.

Mira shrugs, "They all look the same to me." She holds.on tight go Elsa and takes whatever route is agreed.. "Jerry's is as good as any I suppose."

Karl looks on in wonder. "Is this the device you sought? It seems.. vile somehow." He comments waiting to leave..

Merrick takes Jerry's hand and Elsa holds onto her friend tightly. Sounds good to me. Pytor says, moving to the arch. As he is about to step through a skeleton emerges from the mist before him. It bears dusty armor and salutes the fighter with a two-handed sword before preparing to attack!

Advancing as necessary the Mystran eyes the skeleton critically then thrusts forwards her holy symbol, "Mysta abjures thee!"

Not wasting a moment Karl steps in alongside the Gypsy, raising his Fathers Blade as he engages alongside Pytor.

He will let rip 2 sling bullets if they are needed.
HoopakBullets(15): [1d20]=13 [1d20]=14 [1d4+2]=1+2=3 [1d4+2]=4+2=6

Sir Karl, the Gypsy siblings and Artanis rush forward with their weapons, striking furiously at the newly arrived undead. The few blows that land glance off the rusted armor, striking sparks in the dark chamber. Artanis scores a clean hit but the silver blade of his second longsword fails to even mar the aged bone of the undead. Jerry and Elsa present their holy symbols and call out to the powers that be, but the Skeleton doesn't even acknowledge their efforts.

With a wide slash, the foe's two-handed sword lays a gash across the blacksmith Pytor's leg. Pyros hurls a pair of sling bullets, each striking the creature, but the hard metal glances harmlessly off of the bony pate. The undead hunter studies the movements and behavior of the creature. This seemed to be one of the more rare and potent examples of the walking dead...

[Actions round 2?]
[Jerry determines that this undead is likely immune to non magical weapons, probably impossible to turn, and most certainly a deadly melee fighter. There are a few things it could be, but it is likely resistant to magic as well.]
