Storm King's Thunder

//Crownsguard is willing.//

“Understood! I will retrieve User: ‘Pointy Ears!’ I like this plan.” Horse will charge 90 feet, Crownsguard will attempt to pick up Ink (If he resists, Athletics: 12), and will then double back the remaining thirty feet towards Flint.

"Aye, ye  may have th' right o' it, but look around ye! Thar's too much ta  do yet. Th' field is there's! We're split an' we're beat down. We'll come at it again on th' morrow."

"Hey guys! Me and Marav are okay! well we are alive at least!" Rip shouts as he sees the robot ride up, and as Ink didn't attack it assumes it is friendly. "lets clear these remnants..." firebolt 8 for 13 "...then form a plan!"

oh Rip is also moving closer

As Ink breaks free, Crownsguard looks at his hand perplexed, “Oh dear. People do not seem to want assistance today...”

"Assist by keeping that flame skull at bay while I clean up these skeletons - then we can retreat.  I've got nothing left I can use against that blasted flying cackling disrespectful skull!" Ink exclaims.

“Understood.” Crownsguard looks towards the skull, “Attention skull. Please lower yourself so that I may throw my hammer at you. Thank you for your compliance.”

Ink calls over to Flint, "Maybe you should be the only one to give this fellow suggestive courses of action...."  Then, looking up at Crownsguard, "... or perhaps you shouldn't take things so literally." 

"Hey" Ink exclaims at the skeleton swiping at him, "your turn will come soon enough!"

“Understood. I will not take things so literally. Thank you for your feedback, User: ‘Pointy Ears.’ It is much appreciated. I will still destroy the flameskull.”

While fending off the skeletons, Ink remarks, "I like this construct."

“Thank you! I am Crownsguard, your collaborative, combative companion. I am here to help.”

The two remaining skeletons advance on Ink, each attempting to slice him open with their blades...

Attack: 8 Damage: 8 
Attack: 23 Damage: 7
Attack: 7 Damage: 7

Meanwhile, a volley of arrows comes towards Ink and Crownguard from long range...

 The flameskull causes his flaming sphere to roll forward, wilting and igniting the grass around it, laughs while flying over the rock towards Ink, and launches a spell at Crownsguard, each magic missile burning in towards its target... Damage: 9 force

"Hey guys! Me and Marav are okay! well we are alive at least!" Rip shouts as he sees the robot ride up, and as Ink didn't attack it assumes it is friendly. "lets clear these remnants..." firebolt 23 for 13 "...then form a plan!"

The entire volley of arrows shatter against Crownsguard’s artificial body, leaving him completely unfazed. “Careful, I believe you organic races are more vulnerable to airborne shrapnel.“ The magic force of the arrows snap Crownsguard’s head back 180 degrees, but he rights his head back, “Additionally, you should always practice proper safeties around dangerous magic. If I were not a construct, I would be deeeeaaaad...” Crownsguard falls off his horse, unconscious again.

Ink seeing the volley of arrows approach casts shield.

Seeing Crownsguard fall, Ink says, "Dammit."

Ink sees the closing sphere of fire about sixty-odd feet away, then the skeletons in front of him... "Looks like I need to make this quick."

//  Scimitar Attack 1: 26 Slashing Damage: 9, plus Fire Damage: 2

//  Short sword (ba) Attack: 17 Damage: 8

//  Scimitar Attack 2: 14 Slashing Damage: 8, plus Fire Damage: 6

If he fells both skeletons, Ink yells out, "Save the knight!" and then sheathes Blood and moves east forty feet  away from the sphere. 

//Pull the 600 lbs robot man! Or use my body as cover! One of the two!//

Marav emerges from the treeline just enough to see the skeletons then fires at the closest one attacking the party.

Attack: 18 Damage: 10

He then gets back behind the tree using the cover.

//Oh yeah, forgot the death save cause it’s my turn: 20 HOLY COW CROWNSGUARD IS AWAKE!//

“It seems I stopped functioning momentarily. Apologies. I am awake again. It is my opinion that we should beat a hasty retreat. My structural integrity may be at its limit.”

If Crownsguard can, he would like to stand, get on his horse, and (if he can) then try to pull Ink up onto the horse with him. (If Athletics is needed, since it was discussed earlier: 17). Actually, Crownsguard will just swing the hammer twice at the skeletons, then ink can decide. Attack: 14 Damage: 4 bludgeoning and Attack: 15 Damage: 5 bludgeoning damage.
