With the dwarf on his back, Crownsguard's speed is reduced to 5 feet (Flint weighs 323 lbs with all his gear). It is still possible for him to climb the wall, but it will likely take the better part of a minute.
Crownsguard's mechanical joints strain against the excessive weight as he attempts to climb. The dwarven cleric's spirit guardians flit all around them, seeking enemies to rend.
// Regarding the max capacity of 480 lbs (30x your STR score), that is why you're able to lift him at all. But it is still considered a heavy load for you (over 15x your STR score) which is why you wouldn't be able to move as fast as you would if he was only about 100 lbs :) //
With Crownsguard assisting Flint, they are able to make it away from the keep and avoid the returning flameskull by running due south. "The master will be displeased, but his instructions were clear. Don't give chase," you hear the flameskull lamenting as he flies up to the top of the keep. The skeletons all begin marching dutifully back inside.
The skeletal undead don't seem to be following you as long as you retreat...what would you like to do, and where would you like to go? Boris the horse has run off somewhere to the south, and has left your cart behind.

Unable to see his compatriots from his vantage point, Ink aims for the flying flame skull, "You're cracked if you think I'm through with you," he mutters.... and lets two arrows fly.
Crownsguard, with a variety of broken and battered parts, will follow the group to wherever the go. The light inside him seems to have dimmed considerably and his voice seems to have a constant warbled effect to it, “User: Dwarf. Are you injured? I am equipped with basic healing properties. Do you require assistance?”

// Longbow 1 Attack: 18 Piercing Damage: 5 //
// Longbow 2 Attack: 11 Piercing Damage: 8 //
// The skull is around 180 feet from you, flying back near the Keep—did you want to move closer or attack with disadvantage? //

Flint is battered and bruised. "Ah'm fine fer a bit yet. D'ye see a horse about? Goes by th' name Boris." Flint turns to watch the fight to the north east, looking for signs that we are needed, otherwise he'll grab the yoke and try to pull the cart to the east.
“We will work on it.” A small ping emits from Crownsguard as the mechanical horse soon comes running, “Good horsie. Please pull the cart, Horse.” Horse will grab the bit and start pulling.

One of Ink's arrows hit the flameskull, which burns hot with fury. "You insolent fool! Do you know who you are dealing with?" A shrill, cackling laugh interrupts the tirade. "It's ME!" The flying skull exclaims after recovering from fits of laughter.
The flaming sphere starts to roll closer to Ink once more, and the flameskull says aloud to the 5 skeletons on the ground, "Boys, we need a clean up. Go get him!" He then flies low again, this time behind the grove of trees nearest the keep, out of Ink's line of sight.
The five skeletons begin to move rapidly towards Ink.
// You're climbing the wall of the keep again? Just making sure. //

//Ah, would my lifting strength of 480 not assist me in carrying him? Just wondering//
“You. Are. Very. Heavy. I. Will. Assist. You.” Crownsguard continues climbing, slowly.

//I was thinking of gettin' the hell out of here. :) either climbing or running flint will let go rather than slow him down. //
//Oooooh. My apologies, I thought you wanted me to climb. I will instead change my action to run, dragging Flint along with me//
“I suggest we exercise the better part of valor. Executing tactical retreat.” Crownsguard will take off sprinting with the dwarf.

Seeing this, Flint disengage from the cart and double times towards ink
