Watch them and spy.. see their purpose or if they are even sentient... Learn if they are friendly or evil...

Seconded.
Naria watches them for a while and learns nothing, the two just continue to wander around the same small area vacantly; however, while she observes them she remembers something she was taught of undead back in her village (Note: Razahd had major problems with undead back in the past, and thus it is something wood elves know about).
A creature such as this could be one of three things:
A. It could be a naturally occurring undead, a lost soul that has returned to its long dead corpse to once again walk the mortal plane. If this was the case, then it would likely be sentient and its morality would depend on the soul, though undead spirits are rarely sane.
B. It could not actually even be undead, but instead a mindless golem, a magical construct created by a wizard who very cruelly chose to use bones as their material. If this was the case, then it would not be sentient and would simply be programmed to react to certain stimuli by its creator.
C. It could be the victim of vile necromancy, a poor soul ripped out of afterlife, forced into this form, and enslaved to a necromancer's will. In which case it might be sentient, but would have no control over it's actions and likely wouldn't even be able to speak.
Sadly, you were never taught how to tell which type a creature would be.

Wave to the nearest skeleton politely from a moderate distance.

Call out to the skeleton. If he reacts like a dickus, shoot him
You get the nearest skeleton's attention and wave to it, hoping to discern if it is friendly or not.
The skeleton begins slowly shambling towards you, not really giving you much clue as to whether it is hostile or not. The other skeleton appears to not notice or not care about what is going on.
