Shouldn't the snakes get a secondary attack's damage bonus, making them 1d4+3?

Shall we start talking about spells?
I'm thinking Death and Darkness fit best for the Domains.
The Darkness domain's 3rd to 5th level spells look the best Domain picks - blacklight, armour of darkness and summon monsters V (1d3 shadows). For the 2nd level domain spell death knell has a nice ring to it, and obscuring mist is marginally more useful than cause fear for a monster of its likely CR.
Typical Cleric Spells Prepared (6/5+1/5+1/4+1/3+1/1+1; save DC 14 + spell level):
0—x, x, x, x, x, x;
1st—obscuring mist*, x, x, x, x, x;
2nd—death knell*, x, x, x, x, x;
3rd—blacklight*, x, x, x, x;
4th—armour of darkness*, x, x, x;
5th—summon monsters V* (1d3 shadows), x;
*Domain spell. Domains: Darkness and Death.

That looks good.
I've been thinking. These things' flavour text says they are sent to fetch souls for their masters, kind of like an AD&D Night Hag, so how do they do this?
At the minimum, they need the ability to travel between the Lower Realms and the Prime Material (maybe adapt the Genie's Plane Shift?) and an ability to capture an evil soul.
They can do the former using plane shift (although I wouldn't mind giving them a variation on a genie's Plane Shift), but how do they harvest souls?
Some "Harvest Soul" ability?

How about slay living?
Hades? A neutral evil aligned plane?
I'm getting fonder of the idea that creatures killed by charuntes can't be returned from the dead as easily. See whether you like this:
Harvest Souls (Su): Charuntes carry the souls of those they kill back to their dark master. A creature killed by a charuntes cannot be returned to life by raise dead; a resurrection spell or more powerful magic is necessary.
