Shoot to kill! Alnar shouts commanding two of the skeletons to fire of the shadowy tendrils. But, the brittle bony hands of the archers prove too clumsy to draw a good bead on the constantly writhing shadows, and their arrows fall short.
The enemy is quick to retaliate. Hekthesh leaps down off the dias to get a clear line of sight, then hurls his razor sharp boomerang in a sinister arc and hisses, "When the first seal breaks the primal well will overflow with All-Consuming Darkness. You will be the first to feed its insatiable hunger!" The boomerang flies true, gashing the exposed woody fibers between the plates of Sir Exsixten's armor and snapping the spine of one of the skeletons, causing it to collapse in an explosion of bones and dust.
Meanwhile the tendrils dart forward, lashing out at living and unliving alike, though they seem to give the regal wraith a wide berth. The shadowy horrors spew noxious fumes all over the party, causing Ferris and Alnar to double over and gag, Exsixten's plating to corrode, and one of the skeletons to fall apart as its joints are rent asunder by the blast of tainted air. Only the Deva appears unfazed and unhindered by the necrotic vapors.
The skin-covered skeleton staunchly takes a blow from one of the tendrils as it lashes out like a whip, but one of its bony comrades-in-arms is not so fortunate as a shadowy coil strikes its skull and it falls to the ground unmoving.
Suddenly the light dims and the stench of death intensifies. You hear a savage growl as the hound appears next to the skinwalker. The beast clamps its jaws around the skeleton's arm and shakes it like a rag doll. The sturdy undead soldier holds its ground however, albeit looking much worse for the wear.
Eyeless thralls close in on you from both sides, two must have been hiding behind the statues in the corridor. They hurl a volley of daggers one of which scratches Cyr's face, leaving the Deva more shaken than physically injured. The skinwalker also takes another hit from the flying blades.
One of the eyeless dark ones manages to step inside Jezebel's guard. "Give yourself up to true darkness tiefling! Your oni masters can't protect you here," it jeers as it slides a dagger between a crack in her armor opening a festering wound in her side.

At the rear of the group, Jezebel lets out a sharp cry as the thrall bypasses her shield with his surprise dagger attack. She quickly recovers herself and closes up the hole in her defense. She retorts to the thrall, "Fool! It's not their protection I need - it's their strength!" Right on cue, the pain from her wound completely numbs. She lets her fear, her anger, her wrath build up and transmute into a scorching flame that engulfs her attacker.

As chaos breaks out around him he sees the shadow creatures swarm against his friends and the undead allies. After recovering from the shadowy blast, he staggers, the sound of his allies cries of pain in his ears... Feverish from the unnatural miasma, Ferris looks around to see if anyone needs Healing.
He sees that the warforged is looking a bit ragged, and directs a quick prayer to help repair some of the damage.
Ferris then allows his rage to consume him.
He shouts to his allies "Do not be alarmed... something....starnge is going to happen..." He can feel his bones shifting inside his body as his thoughts leave him to be replaced with the ecstasy of his transformation.
When his thoughts come back to him, Ferris roars loudly with his new voice. In this Bear's Form he feels so much closer to his beloved... but he is wary of the risks. Enjoy it too much and he will become the animal.
Looking up, he focuses on the Tendrils of Shadow flying above. Directing his wrath against them, tiny shapes start to emerge from his fur... a trickling few at first, quickly becoming a swarm of Locusts that distract and consume his enemies!
