skeletons are scary there. can you imagine going around a dark corner in a museum, killing a skeleton and after collapsing and you commemorate your victory, ITS BONES FUCKING EXPLODE?!?!

Very bold of you to assume your average Lemming is level one, most of us are rocking a peasant stat block if we’re lucky
