Goibniu would have to take mental note that skeletons in the game were weak to bludgeoning. Something that his main weapon couldn't provide, but his automaton could through basic bashing attacks. It was a note from Elian to pushed along in his head for later, should they be encountered again.
Hearing that the monsters reacted differently to different 'types' of physical attack would be something to peruse later. Not many games had that feature per say. Undead being weak to healing spells or 'divine' affiliated spells tended to the most common weaknesses he could imagine.

The flicker transparent addition of lights or rather figures moving through the room did give Goibniu pause. As he was, a little uncertain as to what was going on perhaps both in & out of character. As neither the player nor the character would know about all the skills or abilities involved in the world. If the translucent spirits weren't angelic, it may have been more cause for alarm.
Plus the defense buff that came along with those spirits being summoned, seemed to clue they were beneficial rather than an additional threat.
Still, a tad, unnerving in its own way.
But another layer of divine or perhaps holy magic, he'd assume.
Unless it was the Death Knight rather than Claudia who cast it. He didn't particularly get a good look, and hadn't placed the game logs up.

Hearing Rath's voice in the background, and a red glow spreading out nearby.
It felt safe to assume that Rath was using some ability of their own to do with the skeletons.
Otherwise, that red glow could be a red attack circle. Which... would've been dangerous. But it was doubtful that Goibniu could even move out of the way in time as he was lying down. Not the best position to gamble on a half-baked, not fully aware dodge.

Rath: "Alright, enough waiting around, let's get em."

@vietmyke

"Smash 'em to bits, just don't knock yourself out from the warm up."
Goibniu would add, fully expecting that Rath would be able to take a few skeletons on their own, if not take them all down on their own.
Especially depending what skills they had particularly.Seemed like fun, if not rough encouragement at the time.

Goibniu was now protected behind his automaton, and behind the Death Knight.
On top of everything being executed swimmingly and a smaller band of enemies. He wasn't too particularly worried.

He did pretend not to hear the ranger's comment.
Annoyed as he may be, the player... nor Goibniu would be petty enough to test the modified trap on the ranger.
Though it was a funny image, it was not needed, yet anyhow.
But his Avatar would definitely have an 'angered' emote as he looked to the trap and the ranger once more.

Ranger: "I need some healing." The ranger said while grunting in pain. Holding his wounded shoulder.

@Eviledd1984

Although the anger would subside at the notion of the ranger's need for healing.
Having a bit of mixed feelings on the matter. In character Goibniu would probably be mixed too, while not necessarily happy the ranger was hurt, there was a sort of smugness that the ranger get a karmic punishment in a way.
The player would be worried of whether or not the typical VR sets inflict actual significant pain as that grunt over the mike sounded real enough to him.

"Why thank you Elian, Claudia, Rath, and Sir Knight. It seems you all are performing quite splendidly in your roles, I must say I'm impressed."
Goibniu would compliment most of the group, excluding the ranger.
That would be petty and rough enough, just ever so slightly.
He hoped that fit well enough.

"I'll just be a moment behind you. Do you ever wonder why they set traps in certain places like here?"
"Or what was the cause of the... undeath? Or perhaps that the trap was the cause of the undeath but leads to whom or how it was set up."
Goibniu added. Before he would search around the beds, and shelvings for items.
His automaton would search along the walls, gently tapping along just in case.

If there was nothing to be found.
He'd probably have to turn the second trap into scrap as well, but for now it was modified to go off with a press on top of it.
Shooting backwards or rather 'southwards' with whatever harmful tool was placed in it first. Modified in the hopes of testing it against the skeletons but combat was cleared excellently. It was unlikely to go off unless someone pushed down on it, or stepped on such, even after having been warned of it.

As for items... Goibniu figured there'd be journals, perhaps more scrap.
but definitely loot on the skeleton bodies or rather what was left from them.
Broken spears might be viable for scrap metal. Still, he'd give distance for the rest of the party to search their kills first.

I have ADD/ADHD, so sometimes it's hard for me to read multiple posts at a time. But I will try to ensure this mistake doesn't happen again.

@Eviledd1984

You're good bro~,
Just let me know if there's anything I can do to make things easier to read or follow.
I want to make things as fun and easy on ya as I can.
Don't want to overwhelm ya, and want to assist as much as possible.

Tales Of Endoroth (A Slice Of Life MMO Roleplay)

@AwesomeZero5

I am sorry i missed that. I will edit my post to correct my mistake.

@Eviledd1984

You're all good.
Probably a lot of walls of text you have to go through.

Been putting buffs and additional effects toward the bottom after a 'header' bar when my post swings around in hope it's helping ^^;;
At the moment debating putting spells/abilities he's cast down there (typically been putting them 'em bold).
Do you think this would help?

Sidenote, you can completely continue to call Goibniu a noob,
or pull up the points that he is under leveled, and will choose to go after devices over his own well being per say.
So that can definitely push some tension in party dialogue. Especially if monsters appear from all sides, but there's a great mechanical device ahead, or one that's a dangerous enemy/trap that can't be deactivated without breaking or lowering it's HP first.

There may also be loot that's over-leveled for him as a detriment for future things (though he may scrap it).

Tales Of Endoroth (A Slice Of Life MMO Roleplay)

@Eviledd1984 I have to poke ye a bit,
Rath's using an aggro drawing skill for kiting/grabbing the skeletons' attention at the moment.
And Goibniu is behind/shield by a summon.
The Protection from Evil, will likely ward off the undead from drawing aggro toward Goibniu at this time ^^;
(Still not sure what the Death Knight's Buff at the beginning was)

Warn me if this comes off as rude, just aiming to give a heads up reminder in case such was overlooked.
Apologies if so..

WIP Dionsio

Name: Stephen “Dionsio” Mercury. (Originally: Dionsio Mercurio de Pizarra)
Age: 30~40s
Birthday: Sept 27th
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Height: 5’6”
Weight: 130
Occupation & Rank: Brothel Owner & Adventure Capitalist
Affiliation(s): (Owner) The Bend Knee Brothel, Pizarra’s Estate, (Former member) Rusk Rustler Gang, Law Practice & General Store Investor

Appearance:

Background:
Dinosio’s grandparents fought in the Mexican War of independence. The Pizarra’s were awarded a bit of land out in current day Texas to retire on. They were mostly a family of masons, and not only built their own home, but practically the town around it virtually. Unfortunately the legacy of the family’s lands would not stick around as long as expected.
The Texas Revolution had broken the family apart both metaphorically & literally. None of the family had agreed with the Mexican government as a whole, though some most had sympathized and supported the emancipation & abolishment from slavery. Once the revolution has completed, the Pizarra family was supposed to have their land seized, as they were placed as secondary ‘citizens’ over the Texas government of the time. Due to Dionsio’s father, Luis who practiced reading the law, as upcoming lawyer. As some of their family was near the events of the Alamo, and had likely died to the events, possibly in favor of Texas’ rule. While they were violently removed & separated from the lands, the deed to the estate was tied up in legal processing & forgotten due to clerical oversight. Leaving it technically, in the family.
Luis had labored through Dionsio’s young years, until they were caught up in the yellow fever epidemic. Dionsio fell into light thievery and odd jobs until he ran across his steady employment as a scout for a “cowpoke” company for Rudo, a freed man. The pay was small though steady. They were transferring more than cattle, sneaking enslaved persons to freedom and abolitionist towns to hide them. The cattle were sometimes rustled, and snuck away to fence for money too. Jobs were getting dangerous, and soon they’d upgrade from simple transport.
The most dangerous job turned into a practical robbery of a developing railroad. Dinsio ended up with his left knee being blasted whilst he was disguised. Forcing him into a retirement, which Rudo had reassured things would be taken care of. It seemed Rudo had been investing large portions of the pay for jobs for Dinosio’s future, taking a large chunk of their cut in the process. However with the pay from it, he was able to full win back his family’s estate, and purchase a place for himself. His old family home is rented out for the time being, though one day he hopes to move back.
The Bend Knee Brothel was a business they helped build from the ground up. He has some investment in a law practice in name of his retired fathers, and some smaller investment in a general store. The Bend Knee Brothel is rather his shining jewel. It’s space is used mostly to help with underground fencing, and hiding persons from unjust pursuit if needed. Certain guests may even end up disguised as one of the servicers to aid in their hiding.

Personality:

Skills/Traits:
Scouting- Searching and spotting around different terrain for various dangers. Memorizing the landscape and different landmarks on it to help navigate and avoid environmental or person caused hazards accordingly.
Marksmanship- A sureshot, especially with rifles. He’s no gunslinger, but he’s able to shoot a gun out of a person’s hand from across town or hit a can from over a tenth of a mile. When he lines up to shoot, he’s going to hit though it may take a breath.
Bluff- Able to lie, or fake his expression as easy as he breathes. He could say you he has a complete royal flush without any sense of a tell, only to have nothing better than a pair of two’s and a stick of bubblegum. He can cover up his expression as easily as he can breathe without giving a hint otherwise.
Multi-Lingual- English, Spanish, Cherokee and some phrases in a couple other languages to get by. Truth be told. He speaks fluently in only a couple able to write in them too. In Cherokee he speaks a bit falteringly and in anything else, he may be able to get a few phrases.

Likes*:
Lawyers/Attorneys
Card Games
Dice Games
Sturdy Architecture
Dislikes*:
Law Enforcement
Storms
Shotguns

Weaknesses*:
Bad Knee- His left knee is heavily damaged. He won’t be running anytime soon, and he can struggle up to a basic jog if he has a cane with him. Otherwise, he’s walking or fast walking just about everywhere.
Astraphobia- A freezing fear of lightning & thunder. The thunder is rather the signifier, while lightning is what he’s actually afraid of. Seeing it sparks a ‘freeze’ reaction out of him. It would leave him trembling.
Game Invitation- He can’t turn down a game invitation to most traditional games (with the exception of chess) even from his worst enemies. At a gaming table, one could mention they’ve committed the worst atrocities known to man, and he wouldn’t do a thing until the person left the table.
Person of Interest- He has little to no respect for law enforcement, especially law enforcement of the United States. He would provide no information to them in the best of times. On top of that, he has some other deals & persons that go through his brothel (but not necessarily him) that he’d take care to keep quiet about, or cover up.
While he was disguised, and a lot younger he was also part of a criminal gang to worry about as well. Which can run him into some trouble.
