Dorn recoils from the Wraith's psychic onslaught.
Come on, Dorn - don't forget you are half orc.
"
Hang in there, Meepo- this is almost over!" Dorn tries to conjure his lightning again, but it fizzles pathetically
I just hope it isn't over for us...
Undaunted, Ingot pushes its way through the rubble to reach the wraith.
"There is no escape for you!" it says. But belying its words, the creature dodges and its blade strikes only stone with a thunderous crash.
"Meepo! Vulkar bolsters you!" it prays.
Ingot and Meepo may be having some trouble finishing off their wraith, but the other kobold-warforged duo continue their beatdown. Crag and Jax charge at the wraith as it flees, splitting up halfway down the corridor. They meet up on opposite sides of the aberration and slash it into several pieces.
Jax's head pounds from the psychic assaults, and he nearly collapses along with the wraith. Crag, on the the other hand, limmediately turns toward the remaining enemy and points his sword at it menacingly.
As Jax's blade pierces the wraith, it dissipates into a reddish light that streaks towards Veneficus, striking him square in the chest.
The wizard screams and falls to his knees; his hands clutch his head in pain. Then his right hand stretches grotesquely and begins to bubble with rocky outcroppings, transforming within moments into a hardened rock exterior. Two protrusions sprout from his back, unfurling into wings, and his neck extends as his face contorts in pain. A large tail stretches out of his lower back and his face grows longer and more...draconic. When the transformation is complete, the dragon rests on four powerful legs, his eyes aglow with a white luminescence. He smiles wickedly.
"Fools! The staff is mine,” he hisses.
"Once you are gone I will free my brethren and we shall destroy this world of yours!" it laughs and suddenly the very ground around it starts to quake.

The battle looked grim, but there was still lots that could be done; namely words of encouragement to Jax.
"Fellow 'bold, at least we out number it five to one. Those are good odds! We fight best with numbers on their side. Take a swing Ingot, you can do it", but the warforged's blade goes through the wraith without effect.

commander's Strike (1d20+9=10, 1d12+7=10) sorry
I moved Meepo to I0 to spread everyone out as all of you are aware of dragon's and breath weapons.

The wraith appears to be disrupted by the appearance of the dragon and his arms miss Ingot by a wide margin as it attempts to grab the warforged.
The dragon's head swings from Crag to Ingot and back again.
"Servant of Terra! I shall show you your folly!" it bellows, the teeth moving to snap at Crag, but the earth itself rises to block the beast. It growls in rage and moves towards Ingot as the earth begins roiling all around the creature, it seems locked in a battle with more than just you.
