Spinning his head around, Crownsguard observes Ink running, “Attention User: Dwarf, User: ‘Pointy Ears’ is rapidly leaving my area of capable protection. I will now focus on eliminating the threat.” And spins back to face the skeleton.
// I'm giving Crownsguard Inspiration for heading straight into the thick of things, acting on his personality traits & bond. //
The ogres club smashes into Marav's wolf form, but even as it does he shifts back into his orc form. He scrambles backwards shooting his long bow as he moves. "Die again you filthy monster."
//Marav moves his full 30' taking. I know the ogre gets an AOO.
// Do you get advantage from something for your attacks when you're not a dire wolf? No worries for this roll, since the 20 was your first roll, but just checking if I was missing something. //
The ogre takes a swing at Marav as he tries to get some range...
//Uh.. I get advantage cause I'm awesome? Actually, just forgot and got used to it. Steele also doesn't get pack tactics unless he attacked at the beginning of my turn before I moved... your call. Used to fighting in wolf form. :)//
// I suppose in Rip's direction although I probably didn't realize Rip was there until I ran in that direction a bit. //
Longbow 1 Attack: 18 Damage: 10 piercing
Longbow 2 Attack: 16 Damage: 12 piercing
The flameskull calls forth a shield of his own to deflect the missiles; he's too slow to block the first one, but the other smashes on the arcane barrier.
//Uh.. I get advantage cause I'm awesome? Actually, just forgot and got used to it. Steele also doesn't get pack tactics unless he attacked at the beginning of my turn before I moved... your call. Used to fighting in wolf form. :)//
// Sounds good. Is Steele taking the opportunity to move away while you took the hit on the opportunity attack, or is he remaining engaged with the ogre zombie? //

Seeing the flame skull fly down, flint casts sacred flame at it (moving up to 15' if necessary). Dc14 or 10 radiant damage. Using any remaining movement to get up against the wall of the keep.

Holy radiance burns into the flying skull, putting a large crack it its boney exterior!
The giant skeleton atop the keep brings his sword as if to crash down onto Crownsguard's head, but the huge sword is magically kept at bay, as if an invisible hand is pushing against it and protecting Crownsguard. The same thing happens with one smaller skeleton which tries to advance on Crownsguard. It leaps at the paladin, but the attack is rebuffed by the protective ward.
A final sword-wielding skeleton finishes climbing down and throws himself at Flint, but is immediately torn apart by the spirit guardians. The rest of the sword-wielding skeletons dash to catch up with Ink in an attempt to surround the wizard.
The bow-and-arrow skeletons around Crownsguard disengage and get some space. Those that can find another target will try to attack Flint, Rip, and Marav (they all failed their Wisdom saves to attack Crownsguard...).
“Thank you for your compliance. Commencing exterminate in 3...” Crownsguard’s hammer glows as he casts, Thunderous Smite, dropping Shield of Faith, “2...” Crownsguard swings his hammer, Attack: 12 Damage: 7 bludgeoning damage (Inspiration: 22) + 7 thunder damage if hits (Strenght Saving DC 14, or be knocked prone) + 2nd level Divine Smite: 22 radiant damage. “1...” He then swings again, Attack: 7 Damage: 7 bludgeoning damage + 2nd level Divine Smite: 21 radiant damage. Never mind! The Divine Smite is not used cause I didn’t hit... really wish I did though... “Error. Extermination incomplete. I apologize. I will try again.”
Edit: Oh wait! If he is prone, Crownsguard gets advantage! I’ll roll for that, just in case: 25. Oh that’s better. Come on Skeleton! Make this robot feel the emotion known as joy!

// Are you attacking the big one or the little one? //
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Arrows hit Marav and he stands shaken, barely standing. He looks up shocked in time for the club to smash into the side of his head, blood spatters and he begins to fall. Then he stands back up straight, blood pouring freely from the side of his head.
Steele seeing Marav about to go down swoops back in and attacks, screeching wildly.
Marav lets his left hand drop with the bow in it and attacks with his short sword.

// I'll assume you're attacking the big one :) //
Crownsguard faces off against the largest animated skeleton you've ever seen. It glowers at him out of its dead eye sockets, unable to push through the warding barrier to harm Crownsguard...and then the ward is gone, Crownsguard lands a powerful blow with a mighty thundercrack that reverberates in the vale around you. The skeleton is momentarily staggered but stands his ground, and quickly brings up his defenses against the constructs' second assault, stymying him by planting one giant foot forward and throwing Crownsguard off balance.

Steele swoops in to Marav's defense and the two batter the ogre zombie, but still it clings to undeath, soaking the damage and readying its counterblow...
