I eye the courtyard, attempting to find all the enemies within. 22 (Perception?)

(yup, perception) You are able to see a zombie, but because of the size and noise the fountain makes, you can't see anything else.

(Shall I roll to see if my character can recall any information on zombies) 

(You shouldn't need to, you won't really learn anything useful)

stays behind the group drawing my rapier and standing ready to protect the maidens

"i can protect the maidens and support you from here"

I draw my short sword preparing for combat, steadying myself I ask the rest of my group "Are one of you able to cover me with any magic or ranged attacks?" I see the Tiefling preparing to protect the maidens. I make my way towards the entrance.

I Stand ready, keeping eye for more enemy's in the courtyard .

I follow the Goliath at a range of 10ft, attempting to ensure his safety while staying at a distance to reduce the chance of melee.

(How far do you go in, Eglig. with your walking speed, you can cover the entire courtyard.)

(every line is 5 ft forward)

(also, Nemmonis, roll perception)

I head to the entrance to take  a look at any enemies in the courtyard whilst still in a defensive stance, "Make sure to be at the ready Elf, your support will be needed."

Nemmonis, you can see a skeleton lingering at the far end of the courtyard.

Eglig, you guys are already at the entrance. If you're looking for enemies, roll perception.

16 

You also see the skeleton, and there are no other enemies in the courtyard.

Roll a ranged spell attack. (1d20 + your spell attack modifier)
