I made it clear that the skeletons had been reanimated by some malevolent force, that had given them magical eyes to replace their missing fleshy eyes. The glowing eyes allowed them to identify their surroundings, and see enemies. But the spell did not bestow some sort of True Sight on them, so anyone who was invisible, was still invisible to the skeletons. Further more, the skeletons couldn't hear. I described the way the eyes looked, as a clue for the players that they might be deaf.The spell that had reanimated the skeletons, only allowed the skeletons to follow very basic instructions, such as: Attack all intruders you see. The skeletons ignored other visuals, such as an open door that wasn't open before. Since they lacked any reasoning skills, they could not deduce a threat from seeing an open door. But they could respond to things being thrown or shot at them, as that was part of the instructions: Attack anyone that attacks you.</blockquote>
