As you're all compelled to advance, step through the halls, safely, no more traps assail you, the final trap has been spring, you step into a colonnaded great hall, Hruskin sits upon a throne at the end of the hall, a dozen or more skeletons in various armors stand between you and the goblin...
"Join me, or join them...final offer."
"Jo'kahl, Jo'tehm...Daella'kree." In the Three voices.
"Join me, or join them...final offer."
Haruuc glares at the little Goblin. "Whos is it exactly that we are supposed to be joining?"
"Stupid elves."
I look at the many skeletons inhabiting the room and glance down at my weapons, with a frown I pull out the magic kukri that we recovered from the mournland
"I rather enjoy living and not smelling like a rotting corpse thank you"
knowledge arcane
Smiling to Drex, "Shall we?"
As you look around, the weapons range from clubs, longswords, scimitars, and even a two handed sword. the skeletons haven't moved yet.
Haruuc glares at the little Goblin. "Whos is it exactly that we are supposed to be joining?"
I grin toothily at Brignat and grunt "Lets" heading toward the nearest, non attack of opportunity provoking enemy holding a club or mace or some sort (that is IF my knowledge check succeeded, you still haven't said if it has or not otherwise)
I grin toothily at Brignat and grunt "Lets" and make a bee line for the most threatening looking opponent to set up a flanking position for Brignat and Haruuc's attacks. while trying to remain un-flanked and otherwise out of harms way myself.
"Let's begin."

from PFSRD:
Arcana (ancient mysteries, magic traditions, arcane symbols, constructs, dragons, magical beasts)
Religion (gods and goddesses, mythic history, ecclesiastic tradition, holy symbols, undead)
As you look around, the weapons range from clubs, longswords, scimitars, and even a two handed sword. the skeletons haven't moved yet.
Haruuc glares at the little Goblin. "Who is it exactly that we are supposed to be joining?"
Initiative:
Haruuc wraps his Spiked Chain around himself and pulls out his Heavy Flail, gripping it tightly and preparing for the worst.
"Join me as an intelligent servant, or as a mindless minion."
"Gollaen t'kreeal b'shaan, vasshaal tael ressh."
"Join me as an intelligent servant, or as a mindless minion."
"I serve only Darguun." Haruuc gestures to the Skeltons. "Send your minions to do their worst. We will defeat them as we will defeat you." With that, he begins to twirl the head of his Heavy Flail menacingly.

Things begin happening quickly. Brignat's arrow strikes Hruskin in the chest and snaps as it impacts some form of invisible protection, Haruuc makes a few gestures and there's a visible shimmer in the air around him. Drexel quickly draws his blade and dives into the fray! Just before Drexel strikes, as one the skeletons all ready their weaponry...Drexel sees a red gleam in their empty eye socket.
"Very well, be destroyed!"
"Vaal, T'reskk!"
"Very well, be destroyed!"

Hruskin begins to chant...as he chants, heat begins to leave the room...
2 skeletons attack Drexel, one has a mace, another has a finely wrought scimitar Drexel sidestep and deflect the attacks.
4 skeletons with shields move back to shield Hruskin.
2 skeletons move to the northern gallery, 2 move to the southern gallery
The final two advance toward Haruuc.
Attacks on Drexel:
Knowing that chanting from any kind of an enemy spell caster is bad I shout to the others "focus on our undead friend! try to distract him!" and proceed to cut a path toward him.
attack vs skelly w/scimitar using Kukri "Vicious"
dmg
After firing at his former companion again, Brignat begins to advance.
As the Skeletons advance towards him, Haruuc makes one last preparation for the coming battle. He reaches around and pulls a vial of liquid from his pack. unstoppering it, he swigs it down and immediately feels a little better.

Drexel's blade skips off the bones of the skeleton, an ineffective attack as the skeleton shifted out of the way of the attack.
Brignat's second arrow bounces off the intangible field protecting the possessed goblin as he continues to chant.
Haruuc drinks his potion, the warmth rushing coursing through his veins as the life giving elixir heals his bumps and scrapes.
Haruuc strides forward and swings his Flail in at the skeleton before him, crushing bones with the vicious attack.

Updated Map I also added in which weapons they each have, you notice that the four which are guarding Hruskin are armed with better weaponry, including what appear to be 2 magical weapons, as one has begun to flame, they're also taller, thinner and wearing elven chain armor, Valenar Royal guards perhaps, as they're all wielding scimitars and you notice they seem to move with more purpose than the other skeletons, who all appear to be hobgoblins.
These thrice damned skellis are smarter then us, fall back and gain flanking positions cover each others backs, If we try to take them singly we will all fall just as our fallen comrade is planning!
Haruuc grunts at the impact of the mace and swings his Flail back around towards the skeleton that hit him. "Agreed. Fall back to me, I am the furthest away," he yells at the others.
Attack Skeleton #3 with Heavy Flail:

Updated: You notice a smirk on the Hruskin's face as Drexel calls for a fallback
Brignat seeing his way to the skeleton with the scimitar blocked, quickly shifts his attack to the one in front of him, driving his shoulder and the spikes into it, causing it to collapse. Drexel breaks off and moves to flank the skeleton with the light mace. Haruuc's attack flies wide.
Rapier vs. Drexel
possible crit....
Confirm? no
Light mace vs. Haruuc misses
Damage vs. Drexel:
I grunt as new hole is punched into my body, luckily it is not as painful as I expected it to be tho it isn't exactly pleasant...
I turn my attention the the light mace skelli and slash at it with the magic kukri
(5+2 for flanking)
Brignat steps up and swirls his spikes and kukri at the skeleton in front of him.
Growling with frustration, Haruuc once mor attempts to strike at the Skeleton, attempting to clear a space near him for the others to fall back to.
Attack Skeleton #3 with Heavy Flail:
Damage:

Haruuc, brings his flail in a wide arc, shattering the skull of the skeleton he faces. Haruuc, having dispatched the previous skeleton, seizes the opportunity to attack skeleton number 2 as it moves into range of his weapons, but none of his attacks seem to do any damage.
[MAP INFO]Skeletons 1/3/4 down after this round, Drexel is in square E3. Skeleton 2 has taken skeleton 1's place. The others aren't moving yet. they just stand in readied positions.[MAP INFO]
Hruskin continues to chant
Perception
I will sheathe my kukri and pull out my bow in preparation to start shooting at our ex adventuring buddy
