These skulls are found in the upper floors of [[Lady Jannath's Estate]]. They cast [[Thunderwave]] when a player character is nearby, making them difficult to evade. The skulls see through [[Invisibility]] and similar effects.
These skulls are found in the upper floors of [[Lady Jannath's Estate]]. They cast [[Thunderwave]] when a player character is nearby, making them difficult to evade. The skulls see through [[Invisibility]] and similar effects.


Due to their [[Greater Toughness (Condition)|Greater Toughness]], they are difficult to destroy.
Due to their vulnerability to bludgeoning damage, they are easy to destroy from a safe distance.

The skulls are vulnerable to slashing, fire, and force damage.
Due to them triggering a [[Thunderwave]] when being near them it's hard to approach them. Therefore it's advised to simply throw a bludgeoning weapon at them which has the "thrown" trait. A simple [[Light Hammer]] thrown by a character with decent [[strength]] is sufficient to kill a skull in one blow.


A thrown [[Smokepowder Bomb]] will destroy a skull.
Alternatively, [[Remove Curse]] will remove the [[Cursed Skull (Condition)|Cursed Skull]] curse from the skull, preventing [[Thunderwave]] from being cast. This requires being within melee range of the skull, which can trigger [[Thunderwave]].  


A sufficiently large melee hit can destroy a skull, though executing the attack without triggering [[Thunderwave]] can be difficult. One option is to have one character trigger the [[Thunderwave]], then the other rushes in to attack.
It's also possible to use the ritual spell [[Silence]] on the skulls which will entirely neutralize its [[Thunderwave]] attack.
