Otiroth smiled when the skull was freed, and seemed about to say more... when the sound of approaching footsteps, and then the intrusion into his mind...
A quick glance to the others. They would not have much time.
Otiroth moved at first to the entryway, in which the footsteps were coming from, and would concentrate. It had been a bit, though not in the grand scheme of things, since he had done this- but a glowing figure appeared. The dancer! He'd send it darting off down the hall towards 'Kravikus'- though he'd not stay long to see the creature. No longer than to get a peek, make sure the demon got a peek in return, before turning back towards the others.
"We had best make that count," Otiroth said, perhaps a bit too loudly, "that is our last spell of the day," he lied through his teeth.
They had the room to themselves for the moment- but only a moment! The dancer likely would fizzle out or try to bobble back towards him, so its use as a distraction was limited.
