Much more powerful than standard skeletons, these minions of evil are often employed as guardians or protectors to keep sealed some ancient knowledge best left undiscovered. They are intelligent monsters and are not subject to the mindless commands that can be given to such undead as skeletons or zombies. They have a clear mind, and sometimes go against the commands and wishes of those they serve, if it benefits the black skeleton in question.
Lomyldyr will summon a flaming sphere on the skeleton's position.

Aggy, Sorek and Myrick are up.
Myrick steps up to the skeleton and takes a swing at it with his sword.
Waaaaaaarrrggggh!

Dust spurts up behind the green feet.
Sorek steps forward (5ft) and unleashes two kicks at the black skeletons ribs
either of these attacks hits Sorek will yell at Mojo "MOJO STOP, this thing is not worth fearing" and activate Flash of Insight as a swift action to give Mojo an additional save vs an ongoing effect (fear). But if Mojo is more than 30ft away this will have no effect.
Flash of Insight
Discipline: Sleeping Goddess (Boost); Level: 1
Initiation Action: 1 swift action
Range: 30'
Target: One or two allies
Duration: Instantaneous
DESCRIPTION
You turn a sudden burst of inspiration into strength for your allies, sharing your power to give them an edge in battle and help them shrug off their wounds. You can activate this boost after making a successful attack or combat maneuver check. One ally within 30 feet gains another saving throw against a non-instantaneous effect that allows a saving throw affecting them. This saving throw has the same DC as the original save. If your ally succeeds, the effect ends. The ally does not suffer any additional effects for failing the save (such as a poison’s damage). You cannot grant an ally more than one additional save against a given effect.
Augment: You can augment this maneuver in one or more of the following ways:
• For every power point you spend, your ally gains a +1 insight bonus on their saving throw.
• If you expend your psionic focus while initiating this boost, this boost instead affects up to two allies within 30 feet.
neither attack connects Sorek will pause briefly to contemplate the dreaded affliction known in monasteries throughout the world as "Flurry of Misses"
And Sorek contemplates the "Flurry of Misses".
"Tis an abomination lads!" - Aggrammar roars - "An intelligent o' the undead! Stay sharp, and on the lookout!"
"And fer Tyr's sake, use somethin' blunt against it, will ye!? And I'm not meanin' yer heads!"

Discipline: Broken Blade (Strike); Level: 1
Initiation Action: 1 standard action
Range: Melee attack
Target: One creature
Duration: Instant
DESCRIPTION
The disciple of the Broken Blade learns to maximize openings in his opponent's defenses and makes lightning fast attacks whenever possible. As a standard action, the initiator may make two attacks at his full base attack bonus.
Aggrammar finishes his summoning spell, and a small hulking, roughly humanoid creature of dirt and stone explodes up from the earth, faceless save for two glowing gemstone eyes, flanking the skeleton with Sorek, and immediately attacking their foe with its stony fists.
He then takes a step forward to cast a defensive spell on Myrick.
Round Two
"Waaaaaar..aaghhh."
The goblin runs slap into a grave statue, his arms and legs wrapping round the stone angel briefly before he falls backwards in slow motion to the ground.
Groggy but now able to control his bowels and fears, the rogue runs drunkenly back into the chamber, coming to a stop behind Aggrammar. He waves his short sword around to indicate he is fine just in case anyone was worried.
Then the poor goblin notices the black skeleton and feels a little nervous again.
Waiting on Myrick, then top of round.
"Blunt huh? Alrighty then!"
Myrick sheaths his sword and serves up a knuckle sandwich. His cestus covered fist winds up.
"It's blunt and good. "

"Mojo, take a look at the secret passage now?" - Aggrammar nods - "Are ye ok lad?"

The goblin almost smiles at the chance to be helpful. He rushes over to the wall and starts searching for the dwarf.
"Yes, master Aggy."
You find no traps on it, but it needs a Str check to open.
