Rip will try to tie up the skeleton's arms and legs while marav has a hold on it

// I just want to say that this is the nicest I think I've ever been to a skeleton - it's like 'oh poor guy is stuck in an attic - all he wants to be doing is be in some dungeon protecting a weird and dangerous magical item, but now, he's stuck in the attic of a crazy woman who eats cabbage." //

//If Angel was up there he probably would have already smashed the skeletons. Undead are very much against the Order and Lathander//

"Ah can't speak ta it, but maybe ah can put it ta rest...."

Ink peers throughout the room to see if there's anything else in there that can identify the remains.  // Perception 14 //

"No, Flint, wait......" Ink let's out a sigh. 

"We needed to speak to it - and I'm sure you can, perhaps you just haven't prepared for its use."

14 in case we retcon the cleric lol

"if we can find someone who can speak to it we can learn who it was and how they died, and who killed them"

"Precisely. It's also a useful tool for battlefield interrogation - don't have to worry about holding back, you can talk to them after their dead. Problem is that sometimes they realize that they can lie," Ink says as he seemingly subconsciously starts rubbing an old scar on his arm. 

//the intent was to use turn undead. speak with dead doesn't work with undead, and flint doesn't have it prepared.  I don't mind switching the spells around as Yoda suggested but I think we still have to put it to rest first.//

 //as ink was reacting flint could have been talked out of turning, takes a few seconds to cart it and font was at a lower initiative.//

The skeleton burns brightly with holy light and a shriek emanates as if from the bones themselves, then they fall to the ground, charred and cracked. 

 The skull rolls towards Flint's feet, and stops about a yard short of his boots.

//so if you allow flint can cast speak with dead, if so before casting flint says to the others//

"Ah don't know if it'll work, but ah can try ta talk ta is spirit. I won't have much time but what questions do you want me ta ask? Obviously want ta know 'is name an 'is killer. Should we bring Darathra 'ere first as witness?"

"yes, ink do you have to see your target to use 'message'?"

Ink gingerly picks up the skull....

Alas, poor Mirak! I hardly knew him, Marav; a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy, or so I'm told; he hath borne gargoyles on his back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! My gorge rises at it. Here hung those lips that others have kissed I know not how oft. Where be your gibes now? Your gambols? Your songs? Your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on a roar?"

"Umm.... So rumors go."
