Even though it didn't appear IC the wiser part of the group (Toot leading) must have figured out that these skeletons are not the usual mindless lot; and as such they "sometimes" detect the presence of creatures shrouded by Hide from undead. I did not stress it too much because it is unclear what happens if they make their save so I took it that they "notice" the presence but still cannot perceive the characters... guess writers of the rules had something else in mind. But more importantly, a hole suddenly appearing out of nowhere would have certainly drawn their attention there. And being the somewhat intelligent types they could improvise ranged weapons. Add to this that the highest point of the dome is about 15 feet, meaning a bird may be out of reach but Giant levitating in vertical position, for example, would be almost within arm's reach. Would Toot feel the risk acceptable, flying in there? It's up to you to tell and if you are willing to join the frey, you may still follow the others through the trapdoor, or you may still drill a hole just to confuse the undead. You can also incorporate the words spoken upstairs since Toot could've heard them through the open trapdoor.
