How to Fight the Hollow Skeleton
The Hollow Skeleton fights only at close range with simple melee strikes. On its own it is easy, but it usually comes in groups. Blunt weapons deal half again as much damage to it, so a mace or hammer clears a crowd fast. Poison and Shroud damage only do half, so they are poor choices. Glowing bone piles nearby keep raising more skeletons. Breaking those piles with an axe or explosives first stops the flow.

Lore
The Hollow Skeleton is the common foot soldier of the Hollow. The Hollow were a cast-out underclass, condemned by the Flame and marked by a terrible curse. That curse fates them to walk Embervale in undeath for all eternity. Most were sealed away in the Hollow Halls, ancient crypts believed to have stood for thousands of years. The countless skeletons there are what remains of that banished people.
