As the shadow flew over her head to get at Vairar, Escella launched to eldritch bolts into it and the creature burst into smouldering smoke that mixed with the strange cloying substance that was obscuring the dim hallway. She reluctantly retreated back up the stairs to the center of the grand landing.
To the north, Lionel and Tommi also retreated to the landing, but they were followed by their shadow. It grabbed at Lionel as the halfling stabbed it in the centre mass while trying to escape. Lionel felt his arms grow heavy and he nearly dropped his sword, so heavy did it feel.
Tommi slung a stone at the thing, but it passed right through a swirl of blackness and clattered off of the opposite wall.

Round 2
Angis cursed as the elf he’d found got trapped by two of the shadows. He dove back into the fray to rescue the stupid long-eared tree hugger. His battleaxe sliced through the first shadow, dissipating it, and Angis stepped forward to slice at the second, leaving it tattered, though still active.

Vairar comes in the middle of the area, gauging the space carefully so he hits all shadows including those harassing the elf newcomer.
Raising his holy symbol he shouts at the creatures
"Begone, foul things! Trouble this house no more!"
EDIT: re-reading the posts, I can see at least two are already "dead" - if I missed the third, I'd save Turn Undead for later and simply attack the remaining one with Holy Radiance (CON DC 14, roll for damage)

Move: so that all shadows are within 30'
Action: Turn Undead - wisdom save DC 14 or fleeing (or destroyed)
Action: Turn Undead - wisdom save DC 14 or fleeing (or destroyed)
Action: Each undead that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage. A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can’t willingly move to space within 30 feet of you. It also can’t take reactions. It can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there’s nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.
Destroy: if undead is CR 1/2 or less it is destroyed
Destroy: if undead is CR 1/2 or less it is destroyed

Vairar too moved up the stairs and returned to the landing. Seeing poor Lionel struggling with a shadow, he raised his holy symbol. For a moment he considered using one of his more powerful boons, but as he could make out through the fog, Angis hacking away with great vigour, he decided to save it and instead sent a quick burst of light out that banished the single shadow to nothingness.
Lionel had instinctively pulled his arms away, and the grey mark left by the shadow's grasping hand was not as injurious as it had looked, yet still his arms felt like lead and his feet felt like he had rocks in his boots.
Angis's axe sliced through a shadow, and the creature disappeared into the fog as if it had never been. One foe remained, and Angis sliced it too as it grabbed at Talynen, who staggered under its draining assault.

Talynen swings and thrusts with his rapier in hopes of dissipating the last shadow, but his swings are weak and ineffectual.

Vairar held his holy symbol higher and a light shone down the south staircase, banishing the last of the shadows. Half the group felt weak and tired, but there was still much to do.

Angis snorted and checked his axes before shoving them into his belt. “Ye okay, elf?” he asked the guard he had just saved. “Any others o’ those shadow beasties doon ‘ere somewhere?” He led the elf back to join the others in the circular landing. “Wot’s gaein’ on doon ‘ere?”

The elf almost collapses, leaning against the wall.
"Thank you for the help, I thought I'm gone. I am Talynen"
He takes a deep breath and pushes away from the wall
"A little less than an hour ago, there was a lull in the fighting. The orcs pulled back from assaulting the kitchen wall. Sir Darfin left the kitchen to speak to Shalendra and didn't return.
Dornuk, that's the half-orc, who has been helping to lead the defenses was last seen upstairs, leading a few elves to stop the orcs from grappling up to the upper floors. I was left in charge in the kitchen, but then the cloying fog started rolling in from somewhere in the cellars.
I've sent two men: one to report to Sir Darfin and another to inform you all and Dornuk. When they didn't come back, I left another elf in charge and took a third man with him to investigate and get the jobs done. We were attacked by our own shadows! This is where you came in.
I believe The Lord should be to the north. I went this way because I believe the fog is coming from down there. There is something dangerous down there, dangerous for everyone in the area. And Thayans want it, whatever it is.
If you explore that, I will go find Sir Darfin."
