The last Zombie obliterated by Ian and arafiel.

This impressive chamber was the heart of the Wave Echo Cave mining operation. Here, the dwarves melted down their ore to refine ingots of silver, gold, and platinum. The dry channel is where the dwarves diverted the stream from another area to power the waterwheel here. That in turn operated the bellows that fed the furnace.

The channel’s bottom is 5 feet below floor level, and no ability check is required to scramble in or out. Characters in the channel can follow it out of this room to the north or to the east, though the ceiling is only 5 feet high after the channel exits this room.

There are also hallways leading out of this room to the east and west. The flameskull is beginning to glow brighter the longer the group waits.

lets get moving or smash that thing before it attacks again Arafiel pants painfully   

“Maybe this will help.”  Ian pulls out a vial of holy water and sprinkles the skull.

As the holy water touches the skull, steam erupts from it . As more water is applied, a loud scream is heard.  “FREEDOM FROM THESE BOUNDS! FINALLY REST!”  Ian takes 3 radiant damage.  The skull splits open leaving one glowing green emerald.

"Bloody hell!   What was that?  And dibs on the glowing green emerald! It looks shiny!  Ummmm...Unless anybody else has a need for it,  or it's cursed.  Yeah,  it it's cursed I can pass." Boghadair says while wiping the sweat from his brow. 

"Any chance we can have a short rest here fellas?"

Arafiel leans up against a pillar grimacing.  I would hazard a guess that it might be cursed Bog, whatever that skull wasn't shall we say goodly

You are free to rest wherever you are but this is a very open space.

"Thagakh was surprised at that. Maybe Thagakh can try to remember something like that."

The half-orc recalls information he learned from his order about this former floating, green flaming, menacing looking undead skull.

Religion 17

Thagakh remembers from his studies: 

Dark spellcasters fashion flameskulls from the remains of dead wizards. When the ritual is complete, green flames erupt from the skull to complete its ghastly transformation.

Legacy of Life. A flameskull only dimly recalls its former life. Though it might speak in its old voice and recount key events from its past, it is but an echo of its former self. However, its undead transformation grants it full access to the magic it wielded in life, letting it cast spells while ignoring the material and somatic components it can no longer employ.

Eternally Bound. Intelligent and vigilant, a flameskull serves its creator by protecting a hidden treasure hoard, a secret chamber, or a specific individual. A flameskull carries out the directives given to it when it was created, and it interprets those commands to the letter. A flameskull’s master must craft its instructions with care to ensure that the creature carries out its tasks properly.

Wreathed in Flame. The fire wreathing a flameskull burns continually, giving off bright light that the creature controls. It uses those flames as a weapon, focusing them to loose them as fiery rays from its eye sockets.

Eldritch Rejuvenation. A flameskull’s shattered fragments reform unless they are splashed with holy water or subjected to a dispel magic or remove curse spell. If it can no longer fulfill its intended purpose, the re-formed flameskull is beholden to no one and becomes autonomous.

Undead Nature. A flameskull doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep.

so is it autonomous are was it still performing its function, and if we are going to rest we should find somewhere more.....um defensible 

"Yes, let's take a short rest. How is everyone feeling?" Tyrus asks with concern.

that skull got me pretty good

Ian says, “ I can keep watch for a while while some of you rest Thagakh and Arafiel look a bit battered.”

Ian cast [ spell]Cure Wounds[/spell] on Thagakh 7

“I will get you after the rest.” To Arafiel 

4 hours have passed without any attacks.
