Thirwin's disjunction has dramatic and visible effects. The dragon flickers, suddenly shrinking down to half its prior size. Further, its skeletal nature is revealed to be at least partly illusory; much of the creature is still covered with decaying white scales; it more closely resembles a zombie than a skeleton.

It seems like just about everyone has the same idea: attack the dragon now while its defenses are down. Though the various attacks have widely varying levels of effect...

Sorgath lands several powerful hits with his scythe.
Kailyn (the unicorn) lands a single hit with his horn, backed by a burst of positive energy.
Aurora's energy blast has its normal effect; not the most visually impressive of attacks, perhaps, but certainly nothing to sneer at.
Stewart's disintegrate is only marginally effective.
And the dragon just ignores Gregor's fireball, and the attacks of the three followers of Marris, and the gnoll Eenyrl.

Luma and Ellenian hold back for the moment, apparently waiting to react to what the dragon does instead of immediately attacking.

The dragon, heavily wounded, lets out a terrible soul-shattering screech and then vanishes again. While most of the party is unaffected, Sorgath and the followers of Marris simply drop dead.

Thirwin immediately makes for Sorgath, reaching out and grasping something which might be coming out of his mouth, "Oh no," he says, chanting and pushing it back in, "Stay with us."

Ellenian follows Thirwin's rapid ressurection with a healing spell to restore Sorgath to some semblance of combat readiness. (And a muttered "I have got to learn that spell!")

Stewart grumbles. "We can't keep this up for too long." He stares at the spot where the dragon disappears. "Got it. Anyone up for following him? I'll have to do it without a gate though."

Thirwin nods, "Go for it."

"Let's go I'm ready to cut him down this time!"

Seeing no reason to remain hiding, Aurora drifts down to the ground. By the time she lands her wings have folded out of existence and her anger seems to have moderated, or at least banked itself into simmering coals. "Where's the lich run off to this time?"

Stewart points down and off to once side. "140 feet. Let's go." The world flickers around him and the people closest to him.

Or perhaps they flicker out from the world.

Or perhaps they flicker into existence deep within a temple.

It all depends on your point of view.

As Thirwin can take full stock of the situation as a swift action, he will do so, and Sunburst the nearest white dragon. (Barring anything from a spot check that would make him think otherwise.)
(note: Sunburst does light damage, it's not positive energy.)

Once again, Gregor's sword will charge with lightning and he will charge the dracolich
