Place the skulls on the stone table and you'll hear the following conversation:

Indaenir : "The Stone Table is where the Bosmer who violated the Pact received their judgment. Let's see if they remember it."
Indaenir : "You who were condemned. Hear me. Your only hope of being released is to tell us why the dead have been risen."
Skull of Thraul : "Ha! We need no release. The Shade of Naemon heralds a new age—an age where we will be restored, and you are the ones who will be judged."
Skull of Ethril : "Hold on. How do you know that? Did the Shade actually tell you that?"
Skull of Thraul : "He doesn't have to. When the forest is transformed, who do you think will inhabit the Shadow Wood? We will!"
Indaenir : "Naemon does not have the power to release any of you, but I do. Help us, and you'll have your chance at freedom."
Skull of Ollion : "I'll tell you. Don't listen to that fool. The Shade seeks to corrupt the forest—to create a new realm—it's called the Shadow Wood."

Speaking to him:

"It's odd to watch the slaughter of your people through the empty sockets of your own skull."
Why was your soul condemned?
"My family was slaughtered by the Wood Orcs, and I burned down their village, every last structure, every last tree, for revenge.
I shouldn't have harmed the forest. I should have rallied my people in a mourning war and feasted on my enemies."

You understand what you did wrong. You may pass on freely.
