Road to Phandalin

A light lites Talon but not a Lite spell but of flame She moves to attack the last Zombie

Attack: 5 Damage: 9

6 fire 

then the lite from the absorb elements spell goes out 😐

Otrov

Otrov flinches in agony at the flames crisping her body and lets out a scream.  She pats out the flames and checks herself: butt, breasts, baby-maker, and most importantly face.  "Phew," she says, relieved.  "Well, THAT wasn't fun.  Maybe that spell is the dead wizard's 'claim to flame'."  Otrov begins to laugh but grimaces immediately - it hurts to laugh.  Still smoking from the fire, she huddles again on the stairs and lights a torch.  She then will move to throw it as far as she can down the tunnel, so the zombie is visible to her.  Then she will move back to her spot, blowing on her fingers to keep them cool and feeling blisters popping up all over her body.  

Margarets flaming sword attack is enough to strike the zombie down for good. (all zombies gone for now)

But at the end of the tunnel the familiar green burning skull reapears and two streaks of fire fly towards Margaret:

Attack: 8 Damage: 9

Attack: 11 Damage: 11

"Are we falling back or do you want to press the attack?" Dain asks the others.

Otrov 

I’m not sure we have a choice!” she yells to the wizard. The halfling fires another bolt at the skull:  Attack: 23 Damage: 10

then she’ll hide in her little spot - 8 

Disadvantage because of blur 8+5

Your attack gets deflected by the green flames that swirl around the skull like a shield

Nobody only answer to Dain, if it can even be called such, is to drop his rapier, take a healthy swig of a flask, and spit out words of infernal. As thin shell of necrotic energy surrounded his form, he bounds down the end of the tunnel.

Action: Cast Shadow Self at 2nd level and gain 11 Temp HP.

Movement: Full 30ft to get inside skull room.

The skull is hovering near the tunnel entrance, do you want to move within melee range or past it into the cavern?

“We had a choice earlier...” dain grumbles.  “Now you decide to actually move forward?” He nearly swears as Nobody moves forward.  He knows bettre than to waste a crossbow bolt just after the skull protected itself with a shield, so holds his action.  He starts to seriously wonder if this group is evr going to get together into an actual unit that backs each other up and doens’t end up tripping over each other at every step.  He takes the dodge action.

(To DM: I thought it had floated behind the wall, but I guess that's just me misreading again. Eh, Nobody will like to move behind it if possible then. Its probably immune to fire, but hoping to at least avoid making it easier on it to catch everyone even if it self-immolates)

(I forgot to move it back behind the wall after attacking Margaret and because Otrov used my blunder to attack, i didn’t want to rob him of his shot.)

Round 7:

Margret tilts her head giving an odd look at Dain "Teamwork it means listening, planning, right? Then action, We'll get there." she closes her eyes and passes her second wind 5 then she drinks a healing potion as she runs down the hall to help Nobody

7

Remembering Nobodys words and Edermaths tales

She looks at the Skull "We are people of Phandelver! Please stop! We want to claim this mine protect it against evil."

Margaret, do you enter the smelter cavern to get into melee range with the skull?

I stay in the tunnel at the edge 

The skull levitates up to the ceiling (25 ft up high) and shoots two streaks of fire at Nobody who is inside the cavern: 

Attack: 23 Damage: 13

Attack: 15 Damage: 10

It then floats behind a stalactite for half cover.

Nobody hisses in pain before glaring up at the skull. He sling curses up at the creature in both infernal and draconic, disregarding or perhaps deaf to Margaret's earliest attempts at entreating the skull. Those able to see the tiefling can see that he's entered an almost feral state. Just like back at Cragmaw Castle, the skull's destruction became the entirety of his focus. To that end, he conserved nothing, and flung several green darts up at the skull that curve around stalactites and exploded upon impact.

"Get back down here and face me you PUNK ASS *****!" He spat out venomously! "Or so help me, I will turn your skull into a ******* goblet before this day ends!"

Action: Cast Ether Bolts at 1st level, inflicting 3 times 3 for 9 Force Damage.

Once again the flames around the skull intensify, creating a shield.

Dain moves back in to join the others in the larger cavern with the skull. He tries to get an angle on the skull, where he won't have half cover from Dain, then Dainr eadies an action. As soon as the Shield spell goes down, on the Skull, Dain will fire his crossbow at the skull.

To hit: 17 Damage: 9

Margret does what she does best she sheaths Talon bonus actions her bow aims but holds her action she looses her arrow when it comes out. "Talk to us!"

Attack: 20 Damage: 10 

she doesn't shoot if it starts talking without attacking

(I suppose we are still at disadvantage)
