Daewen understood Wilhorn's sentiment. The flaming skull was undoubtedly a threat, but its ethereal nature made it a target for spellcasters like Wilhorn. Trust flashed in her eyes as she acknowledged his strategy. With a silent nod, she wasted no time. Daewen launched herself into a whirlwind of steel, her dual rapiers flashing in the dim light. Her first attack was a blur, aimed for the exposed neck of the nearest zombie (Z1). The second rapier followed suit a heartbeat later, seeking a vital point in another zombie's decaying flesh (Z2). This wasn't a display of elegance – it was a brutal ballet of efficiency, each strike designed to incapacitate and eliminate as quickly as possible. Daewen knew the threat posed by the zombies was immediate and undeniable. Their mindless hunger had to be quelled, and she would be the instrument of their demise. Finally, capitalizing on the momentary distraction provided by Wilhorn's attack, Daewen spun on her heel, her third attack a whirlwind of motion (Z3).

The metallic tang of blood filled the air, a grim counterpoint to the groans of the remaining zombies. Daewen, a whirlwind of focused fury, danced through the decaying throng. One zombie (Z5) lunged for her, its fetid breath washing over her. With a disdainful flick of her wrist, she parried the clumsy blow aside, the clang echoing through the chamber. In the same heartbeat, she returned the favor, her rapier flashing out like a viper's strike.
Attack on Z5: 15 Damage: 5
The blade hopefully found its mark, slipping between the creature's decaying ribs to pierce its rotten heart. But the fight was far from over. Another zombie (Z6) shambled towards her, its milky eyes locked on her with a single-minded hunger. Daewen met its gaze with a cold indifference. Her rapier became a blur, a silver streak aimed for the creature's exposed ankle.
Two-Weapon Fighting Attack on Z6: 11 Damage: 8
Daewen pressed on, her movements relentless, her purpose clear – the eradication of every undead monstrosity in the room.
Wilhorn has no recollection of hearing or reading about the green flaming skull. He hears the clunking thunk of the now extinguished skull as it hits the floor. He is grateful that it appears lifeless. He turns his attention to the zombies, these he knows have a tendency to rise again unless struck with radiant damage so he mentally makes the shift to conjure Sacred Flame. Out of all the decay, he targets the zombie that appears to be most wounded.
OOC: A friend in another campaign just cast Shield, and I happened to read it. It says it only effects "Self" and not "Area". Thus, the zombies AC should have increased +5 ... just the Flameskull's AC is increased +5. I think all of these three attacks are hits, then?

yes, my bad, I thought all three attacks were on the Flameskull, I'll figure it out retcon and fix in the morning.
Wilhorn sees the importance of timing his radiant fire. He will Ready a Sacred Flame to target a zombie that is rising due to its unholy constitution or the one most weakened after the rest of his teammates do their damaging attacks.
