Silenus’s eyes grow wide as the fireball comes their way. He manages to avoid the full blast by jumping to the side. When he gets back up though, his eyes are full of his wild enthusiasm and he races towards the skull.
The Flameskull dissipates, ( 46 total dmg; 40 HP ).
Jasmine and Olsihla are down the Easter corridor or tunnel. ( I misspoke earlier - the eastern corridor is nearby the southern corridor you came in from. They didn't have enough movement to get across the chamber, past the billows to the western corridor. )
(( Rinn would take 1/2 damage - 12 - from the Dex save. Uncanny dodge doesn't work for spells requiring Dex Saves. ))
Following the other badly injured party members down the eastern corridor, you notice 5 Dwarven Zombie rise and take a defensive stance around the billows in the chamber behind you.
Olsihla (Arcana Check 14) says, "The undead appear to be guarding the billows, not attacking us. I would wager the Flameskull will regenerate. What was destroyed, do you think, to release the ghouls?"
Jasmine asks, "Shall we take a bit of a breather (short rest) here? Either way, I need some help."
A tiny insectile looking fey shimmies out of Jasmine's cloak seemingly manifest from her body and begins hovering near her head with beatle like wings. "See for me little one.", Jasmine says.
"I guess we could rest for a bit," Silenus says, watching the zombies. "Then we get to kill them, right dude? Wonder what's so special about awesome billows."
With a fifteen, Rinn, based on your current life, past lives, and Olsihla's comments, you conclude the Zombies and Flameskull must be following a very powerful and ancient command to guard the billows. It must have been a powerful necromancer in its time to compel a familiar and companions (or competitors) to continue to guard after their own death.
Olsihla's and Silenus' comments also ring through your mind. "what's so special about awesome billows" and "What was destroyed, do you think, to release the ghouls"... the Phandelver Pact must have been powerful indeed.
This black spiker is hunting for something incredibly powerful and still has one of the dwarf brothers. It must have destroyed something in the process of their search and cannot be too far ahead of you.
Jasmine initiative 18
Olsihla initiative 6
Jasmine DEX save 6
Olsihla DEX save 20
Jasmine casts her Ice knife (to hit 8 piercing 8 DEX DC 14 cold 5) and runs for the western exit of the chamber.
Olsihla casts Eldritch Blast (to hit 8 force 6 to hit 21 force 1) and follows after Jasmine to the western corridor.
Jasmine is at 2 HP
Olsihla is at 4 HP
Silenus Initiative: 16
Silenus Dex Save (w/advantage from Danger Sense): 18
Silenus’s eyes grow wide as the fireball comes their way. He manages to avoid the full blast by jumping to the side. When he gets back up though, his eyes are full of his wild enthusiasm and he races towards the skull.
Bonus Action - Rage - Wild Surge roll - 2
Silenus suddenly blinks out of view and teleports to just behind the skull (teleportation as bonus action part of wild surge and entering rage).
Once there he hacks out quickly with his great axe. Slashing twice.
Great Axe: Attack: 17 Damage: 11 slashing
Great Axe 2: Attack: 16 Damage: 16 slashing
While the piercing damage of the arrow(s) didn't seem to do a lot, the slashing seems to have devastated the Flameskull.
(( Waiting for Rinn's initiative, DEX save, and action... the flameskull is resistant to piercing. ))
(( Sorry, Beyond didn't show any notifications. ))
Rinn's Initiative: 20
Dex Save: 27
Rinn would Uncanny Dodge as a reaction to half the damage of the fireball too.
He would then shoot it again, failing to have anything other than piercing weapons.
Longbow Attack: 19 Damage: 8
Sneak Attack if applicable: 10

If you are of a mind, make an Arcana Check DC 14

Everyone get a short rest.
