Regardless of witnessing the skeletons spring to life the time you found in the cell upon looking a the symbols on the cover you see it's a wizard's divination spellbook. Do you take a look inside?
I am clearly more focused on the spellbook than any of the commotion around me. I flip through it quickly to just get a high level sense of what it contains, planning to study it in more details when my companions aren't making such a racket.

"The hero sought to save the world.
"If I keep trying, I'll be able to win," the hero thought.
But the harder the hero fought, the further the world seemed to tumble away.
Drowning in doubt, the hero could not even save themselves.
Hero, if you still believe in a brighter future, hold in your heart a thorn that can pierce all doubt."

I run toward the skeleton reaching toward Elly and push it's arms away from her (Athletics check?). "Run. I will be with you shortly"

You successfully push the hands away from Elly and do not get grappled yourself!
Zillah & Kohl
You both hear the sound of footsteps as well as if something is being dragged!

I want to investigate the footsteps, where are they coming from?

Kohl
Leaning out the door unseen you see an Orc dragging a limp figure by the ankles towards the dungeon having appeared from a secret passage behind it.

Once Elly gets away, I disengage and run towards the rest of the group.
Zillah whispers, "what do you see Kohl?"

I nod, listening to what Zillah has to say to the orc, while also watching my other allies to make sure they don't get hurt

{Sorry about the initiative storm, didn't want anyone to have to wait for me to do that}
Seeing the potential for a non-violent solution, Shadow bites his tongue on the spell he was about to cast and stands ready.
