Carolina aims between Raiyek and Grim and launches a bolt at one of the shifting figures (preferably at the one talking, if she reckons he's one of them), but her attack lands squarely in the center of one of the crates they are behind.

Hmm...
Seeing how far away the would be ambushers were Lily quickly decided on a plan of action.
Come back Lith, she whispered and the shadowy thing dissolved into inky vapor.
Raiyek calls back to the high pitched voice,
"Why don't you come out and show us your faces as well?" The paladin lowers into a combat stance, shield and sword at the ready to charge the first enemy that comes close enough.
"Very well, if you insist" the voice says, and a quartet of humanoids walks out of either side of the crates. To the south, a human wearing chainmail stands with a halberd raised in front of him. Behind the human, a dwarf appears with a crossbow, and fires a bolt at Raiyek, catching the elf off guard and penetrating his new found armor. To the north, another human steps out, this time carrying a greataxe and wearing scale armor with a large closed eye on the center of the armor. Behind him is a gnome carrying a simple wooden stick, the creature says
"Welcome to our humble abode, you shall not leave"
