This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Trying to not to think too much of what he has saw about the souls and the amulet Val turns back into his elf form and send a breeze of healing magic towards Gendan.
( Healing word: 6 )
He walks towards Runt and asks her
"Are you ok?"he deliberatly avoids the spot where the amulet had fallen.
( There was a couple of moments when I thought "ok this is it... specially when the amulet took Runt... nice fight!
(Not gonna lie. I had hope for the win, but I also thought more 'This is how Dev dies... and its a pretty good one!'. Because -- and I should've added it to the post -- he ran the scenarios in his head, and there were almost none in which either at least he fell, and/or Runt didn't leave the puppets potentially cover her escape if things didn't get bad enough. Or even that Jester stepping in to potentially port her away just so the remaining party could maybe survive for another day if things got REALLY bad.) (But... he had to try. He's seen the tragedies, SAW what it did to the last guy, and at the possibly cost of Runt and extreme guilt in the future for Dev... But Whoo! Way to go, Val!)
(To Zulk: For your record keeping, if needed, it took 5177xp for Devarus to just make level 6. And now... Crossbow Expert achieved! Next, the Healer Feat! And then.. and then.. Tough! Because screw giving this old man ASIs)
(Dev's not gonna want the cloak for... various reasons. So up to the rest of you. Only thing I can think of on Dev's wish list is a Q's Near Infinito Ammo Quiver and a Bag of Holding.)
Devarus awakens gasping for breathe and struggling at least to sit up. While pulling out the one javelin stuck in him the rest of the way out, he searches blindling for his bow while looking around frantically for answers. He knows not of the souls or the afterlife denied them by the destroyed amulet. But if he seeing whatever exchange between Runt and Val there may be, he dares to breathe a sigh of relief, and just falls back first onto the ground again, groaning at first before letting out a coughing chuckle.
".... I'm either the luckiest gambler... or the most foolish old man in existence."He says to the air and chuckles again. Sensing a newfound strength within after a while, he gets up, opens his mouth to say something, but then hesitates after locking eyes on Runt. Although his brows were furrowed in consternation, the rest of him was hard to read. But he eventually works up the nerve to say, "We should... we should finish checking the castle. Make sure there no other miracle survivors. Search that man's room, if we can find it, as well for any notes and evidence to his deals as well."

“I’ve looked around, didn’t notice any survivors, but there must be another level of the castle or something. I feel like I couldn’t get to everywhere.” She says while casually slipping on the Cloak of Protection.
“I think that any proof or clue would be great yes but before that I think we should make sure that both Deva and Rubt are ok. That was a close call Deva and you Runt... how are you after... after that? I saw how that thing trapped the poor souls of everyone that was turned into a puppet. This magic is becoming more perverse and twisted and evil every moment. And the power of that Jester and that Paladin? And their boldness? First a farmer, then an orc tribe now a full city! Authorities must listen to us and devote more resources on fighting this... “ he stops “ excuse me Runt, please tell us. Are you able to walk?”
Runt, knowing full well what she did, knowing that deep inside her that it's something she did in fact desire(the conquering of the fools part, not killing Deva), shrinks away from the rest of the group. She will find a secluded room and vents her frustrations for being so weak on anything and everything breakable in the room.
(SInce Dev's next is gonna be dependent upon it. What was the time of day just before entering the castle? Or what it is now, if we have a clear view of the outside anywwhere close, like the whole in the back of the throne room?)

Alright, I have given everyone a their 6th level's custom feat. Take a look. Most of you just got your previous feat improved rather than gaining a new one.
Runt would have ignored Val, he previously stated rage at what she did, and her shame for the not completely untrue feeling the amulet brought out making her ashamed beyond words. She can currently be found smashing anything and everything in a room separate from the rest of the group. Its probobly quite loud as she screams in anger and crys at her weakness.
(Imagine Kylo Ren but less tantrum and more grief)

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
(Freaking after the corruption started to set in its perfect. Digging Devarus' upgrade as well.)
Devarus nodded absently to Gendan, but would watch Runt as she left looking far more too down to his liking. "Wait, what? Trapped souls? Where--?" He looks over Val's person and then around the immediate area. At the first sign of seeing the shattered remains, Devarus' face falls as he starts to shake his head in disbelief. But then he freezes a few seconds later and takes a deep breathe. "Then we should not linger here for too long. For survivors or no, word needs to get out sooner than later."He glances off to the way Runt walked off to, noting the echoing of things being destroyed with a grimace for the first time.
"Seeing as Miss Runt will need some... time, we'll focus on divide conquer. Miss Gendan, if you and Mister Val here could continue the search for evidence here, I'll grab our mounts and bring them closer to the castle, then set out to search the rest of the town for other survivors afterwards... or at least put out the call. Let's get to work." He said, no longer restraining the tendency to take on a more commanding presence.Although before setting off, he takes a moment to more thoroughly check the body of the former would be ruler of the dead for any keys or anything similar if noone has been so thorough. Anything found he passes along to team castle before taking his leave.
The body of Jerrick is lying motion less with the face permanently frozen in the look of shock and terror. He doesn't seem to have anything like a key. You can take his fine clothes and accessories though.
(If Val would really like the Cloak, he could have it. I figured his bear/wolf skin makes for a pretty good AC bump. Gendan’s personality would definitely just grab it and put it on, though.)
Heeding Deva’s advice, Gendan continues to search the area. (I already rolled for this, so not sure if you want more rolls.)
(DM: for Vision of the Archfiend, Gendan will not be taking the necrotic option due to encountering so many zombie-like foes in this world. For Servant of Belial, can you add charges to the Homebrew Feat for tracking?)
As Gendan is walking about the room, others may notice grotesque, dark, red wings slightly protruding from the edges of Gendan’s cloak. She also keeps summoning and dismissing her pact sword, feeling an even greater potential in it than before. She seems to be able to swing it more swiftly, and there appears to be a swell of purple Eldritch energy that could explode from the sword on any hit.
(The Wings are like pact weapons. You summon it and then it goes away after some time. The charges are being tracked with the magic item that's not really a magic item. Gendan doesn't get to roll. Val may roll.)

Yep, my bad... Deva was the intended target yes :)

Val healed Deva with a spell. He gets up.
