The tale of the graveyard haunting

While travelling through the countriside of the Daggerfall region, I came across an isolated graveyard. Knowing that the underground chambers of the family crypts usually serve as hiding place for some monsters (mostly harmless for a seasoned adventurer) and hoard small treasures as well, I realized this was the perfect opportunity to train my weapon skills and earn some money as well.

As soon as I entered the vault, I heard the screaming of a skeleton nearby and the swinging of a door opening; probably it was waiting for me deeper inside, so I opened a door between two white pillars and proceeded down in the crypt. The tomb was composed of a long corridor connecting the entry hall with a couple of small rooms. In the passageway I came upon an orc; I easily got rid of it and continued on. Beyond a locked door a skeleton warrior awaited: my invisibility spell did not fool it and in but a moment it engaged me in a melee. The fight was not easy, but I managed to slay the monster suffering just a few scratches. I collected its possessions and some items lying on the ground and I came backto the entrance.

I was about to exit the vault when I heard again that cry... was the skeleton I thought I had slain still alive??? No, it couldn't be... After a while I realized: it must be another one, but where??? A thorough search of the entry hall revealed an open door exactly on the same spot of the exit. I walked closer and tried to have a look at it from different angles and, at last, I caught a glimpse of it: there was indeed a skeleton on the other side, but it could not reach me, nor I was able to do it; the undead felt my presence, though, and kept on screaming in anger. I understood there was absoltely nothing I could do and I went on my way, leaving the skeleton that haunted that place in its secluded and unreachable chamber.
