The Valley of Ends

Flameskull seem resistant to piercing, magical or not. 

Resfaen finds herself slowly fall down taking 6 as she hits the group.

(Isn‘t Flaming Spere a concentration?)

Onyx puts his mark an Skull 2# activates the Zephyr magic and shoots twice:

Attack: 30 Damage: 12

Attack: 26 Damage: 14

Resfaen Dex Save: 15

 Landing with a resounding thud, Resfaen yells in frustration as she picks herself back up off the ground. She will then reluctantly wait till a flameskull gets near before striking out at it.

Held Battleaxe #1: Attack: 26 Damage: 11

[OOC: I forget if I can take my second attack when I hold an actions so it is below if I can attack twice.]

Held Battleaxe #2: Attack: 20 Damage: 5

Con Save for #2 sphere flame
13 DC 10 - Onyx attack

22 DC 10 - Gotch attack

10 DC 10 - Refaen attack

18 DC 10 - Refaen attack

Flameskull #2 manages to keep focus on Flame Sphere.

Gotch shoots at the one concentrating on the flaming sphere once again...

Attack: 19 Damage: 6

hide: 25

(Aart from FIngolin and Resfaen, I left two targets for Mantle of Inspiration to be whoever looked most hurt. Since no one was selected, can Onyx and Gotch add the 8 temp hp?)

The Magic Missiles leave Fingolin looking very hurt. He closes his eyes and chants: "Iechyd!". A faint aura appears around him and some of his wounds close.

Healing Word lvl 2  - 9

Fingolin then turns towards the skull the others seem to focus and says: "I have to break it to you, but you are already dead. Why don't you roll over and be quiet?"

Vicious Mockery WIS 15 - 6

Then he'll move to find some cover.

I throw my lighthammer, spells being useless 21 5 damage.

Resfaen weaves away from the sphere mid iar before the spell ends unwillingly and she hits the ground a bit hard. She stands up and holds up her axe, just tempting the skulls to come at her. 

Round 3

Onyx darts around before unleash two arrow Shots (13 (only force force is not halved) / 7), first hitting with magical energy support.

Con Save: 17 /  4

Salys takes aim and fires shots #4. The first whistles into the distance while other strikes with some effect (5 damage)

Fingolin heals himself with Healing Word shouts insults through Vicious Mockery the skull. It seem to chuckle at the insults thrown at it. 

Wis save: 14

Gotch pops out and fires another bolt into the skulls before ducking back in dealing (4 damage) to #2. Not seeing the dmaage in it's entire as the bolt breaks through the eye socket and comes out the other side. The skull's flames dying away and ti falls to the ground. 

Elyra pulls back and throw her from beneath with her Light Hammer dealing 5 damage, somehow the hammer sends the skulls spinning as it fall to the ground.

Only Flameskull remains in the air. Before it can act, what seem like shadows seems to swarm it from gods know where. The shadows, which takes a moment for the party to realizes are just dark cloaks, seems to drag the flame skulls down to the ground, stabbing, slashes and bludgeoning with a myriad of weapons.

The cloak figure steps away from the dead, three out of four shadow seem to jump off into the darkness. The last one look before pulling his hood down to reveal a half-elf woman. Gotch recongizes the cloak as ones worn what are called the Dark Clerks, agents of Cardinal city. 

"I apologize for the interference. Your assistance in this time is greatly appreciated. There is a camp set up near the best of the Tower which you can have your wounds tended to. The Patrician will gives his thanks for your actions in the morning as we take stock. Majority of the fighting has been done and much of the enemy's invasive force has been depleted," He explain, "I will take my leave now," He seem to pull same vanishing act as the rest of the group.

(Flameskull teeth are trophy item for collectors and use for magic items. A full set can sell for 110g. One with monster collection tools can a Sleight of Hand check DC 6 (I feel like this really easy) (only one time check for each skull)

 What does the party wish to do?

I get the teath, with a dex of +5 each roll will be a 6 or higher anyway. And Onyx likes to collect trophies 😊

(there is 1 in 20 small odds of failure)

Onyx spends a few minutes with tools, mostly the clamps to extract the teeth of the flameskulls, careful not to damage them and keep them together. The Teeth could be used if you want fire damage for quiver and some fire themed uncommon level magic items.

Note, not every town will have something who will buy monster materials depending. Using a mix of a homebrew and xanathar's guide for everything for monster materials so expect some nonsense.

Salys looks to the others, “Who were they? And do we want to head to the tower or continue to see if we can lend aid?”

Resfaen continues to look for enemies as she suggest, "Let's head to the base at the tower to heal up and check in with the Patrician."

"They were city defenders."  Gotch speaks up as the question on who the shadow cloaked figures were.  "I think we should head to the tower."

sleight of hand check: 21

Fingolin agrees, "Healing would be nice. That fireball was out of this world."

I search for a defensible position where i could rest. Perception: 2

Whilr we move to the camp, Onyx will keep an eye open for danger or odities:

Perception 20

Taking what the dark clerks say to heart, the party after gathering parts of the undead. Getting over the barricade to find mix of dead guards and undead corpses lining the street. Beside occasion more basic zombie, the journey is uneventful as they come upon the tower which has more enclosed barrciade but a hole in the wall forms with a cloak figure gesture for them come in. The hole in the stone dome closes as they come in.

"Welcome, you can be patch up over there," The clerk gesture to a tent area, "I take this was not an easy journey but this should hold as my fellow clerks handle the remaining enemy,"
