Devin eyes the disturbance and decides to take decisive action. He didn't want to miss. He fires off a set of 4 bolts of blue light at the disturbance (magic missle lvl 2). The bolts hit the disturbance for 15 damage.
With the wave of his arms he brings the blue star (spiritual weapon) to bear on the disturbance also. Attack: 22 Damage: 10
Forgot to post this somewhere sooner. Things are going to be a bit busy for me until Sunday at the latest, so post are gonna be sporadic at best until then. Sorry guys!
Despite the order, a stubborn Vark tries to get in one last strike at the disturbance in what can only be described as haphazard attempt at a sweeping swipe that bleeds into a leaping roll away from the surface to join his brother further back inside(13J-NE).
Vark's Action: Scimitar Attack: 7 Damage: 5.
Bonus Action: Nimble Escape - Disenagage

As Vark swings, misses and nimbly escapes to further into the castle, the disturbance rushes at (1-2 Devin / 3-4 D.O.R.K) [4] at D.O.R.K. (Attack: 17 Damage: 8) and D.O.R.K. feels the cold hand of death (metaphorically speaking) whistle past her head. Undeterred the disturbance (1-2 Devin / 3-4 D.O.R.K) [3] has another go at her again Attack: 23 Damage: 11 and this time D.O.R.K. watches in surprise as a large dent appears in her chest plate.
Toruun you're up next followed by D.O.R.K., Meiva and Beedo
"It was a good shot, Brother." D.O.R.K says after shaking off the shock of the new dent in her armor. "And so it was said, 'Let not your faith in the struggle waver. For one's greatest strength lies within it and mind ever keen to adapt."A faint, red light starts to emanate from the construct forehead marking, mirroring the same glow to overtake the head of her maul during a backswing. "Celestial Armaments: Enaged." She states just as she swung the weapon about where the wind last accosted her.
Action: (enchanted) Door Knocker Attack: 20 Damage: 16 magical bludgeoning.
(@Grant: Presuming D.O.R.K's action is still after Meiva.)
Beedo's Turn:
"Oi! Fink you can make ano'va 'ose poppers, BLT? Or got ano'va 'em lyin' round? Ask'n fer a frien."Beedo calls out to Torunn as he cracks off another shot on the hopefully then glowing disturbance in the air.
"Only a coward hides during battle," Lukian scoffs. "My Lord, Lathander, help me dispatch this invisible scourge!" He raises his shield and sword to engage, but the symbol of Lathander appears again on his shield, then flashes, and three arching beams of light stream out and toward the disturbance. Lathander stops and stares, looking surprised.
Scorching ray attack 1: 5, damage: 6 fire damage; attack 2: 11, damage: 10 fire damage; attack 3: 11, damage: 4 fire damage
"This is very disturbing. Whatever this thing is, it just won't quit." Devin ponders as he brings his hands together. "Please lady, let me finish this."
Three glowing darts of magical force streak towards the disturbance (magic missile) for 12 force damage.
"Please, can we finish this!" As he slams the bright blue star into the disturbance again
And then suddenly there is quiet. The rushing sound that the party could hear has stopped.
(OOC: Everybody can have 675 XP)
For those who are interested you were fighting an Invisible Stalker. Halfway through the battle I realised that I wasn't playing it properly by having it stay in place. Its normal attack would be to close, hit somebody and move away again to somewhere else. Because it is invisible it does not provoke an AoO. To my way of thinking if I you played it properly it would have a CR far greater than 6.

D.O.R.K never lowers her weapons, still leery of the entities lingering prescence. Noting Lukian's distracted appearance however, she turns to look as well... and tightens her grip on the weapon. "I do not like this. Acolyte Beedo. Vark." She says, yet never let her eyes fall away from the birds. The two let out strained "Yes, boss!" and hustle outside to join her. As soon as Beedo sees the vultures begin to descend, he starts to readies a shot. "Hold your fire. Salvage. Quickly."
Beedo gives her a wary glance, but sets to work following Vark's example. Coin is pocketed, weapons tossed towards the spire entryway, and the occasional grunt of pain slips out as the goblins work their way through the bodies. Curious yet worried, Vark takes special interest in looking for the leader's bag, and make certain there are no surprises there. D.O.R.K remains on guard in the meantime, ready to strike down any vulture that decides to dive too soon for an attack. "Warning. We must be expedient. If my brother and Torunn can keep an eye out, the rest of us should take what we can, and cast the rest off before the vulture decide to linger here." She says as she puts away Door Knocker to help her acolytes search bodies before casting them off.
Beedo sorts through the bodies with gay abandon and basically finds nothing but daggers. Vark takes a little more time and on the furthermost spell casting type he finds a pouch. He then moves to the closer spell caster, the one with the bag, and searches the body. To make it easier he puts the pouch inside the bag and then there is a look of confusion as he looks inside the bag, looks outside, and finally reaches in. He pulls out the pouch he had just put in there with a look of relief on his face. He rushes over to D.O.R.K. saying"Ma'am I got the bag like you said but when I put this 'ere pouch in" brandishing the pouch "it disappeared but when I felt around in it, there it was!"

Lukian heeds Dork's orders and puts his sword and shield away to help "take what we can, and cast the rest off". "Does anyone mind if I keep a couple of these daggers?" the elf asks while working.
OOC: Weren't two of them wearing studded leather armor? What's the condition? Looking through the characters, it looks like Meiva and Lukian could benefit from an armor upgrade.
Some have been but only two successful hits have been made so far in D.O.R.K.'s post #1268.

"Still getting used to this beauty, wasn't gonna hitting holes in one of my first try," Torunn grumbles to himself as trys to take another shot.
Attack: 9 Damage: 6
He then follows up with the shot by trying to send the forge hammer flying through the creature.
Attack: 15 Damage: 4

Meiva moves to the doorway, not daring to exit it, and fires a bolt of radiant energy at the elemental.
Guiding Bolt: Attack: 25 Damage: 11 radiant and next attack has advantage against it
"Dissipate, servant of chaos," Meiva mutters.
Disadvantage roll: 25
And that's all I have to say about that.

Lukian slowly lowers his shield and sword, though they are ready to be brought back up at a moment's notice. He turns to look at ...
Are the vultures still there? Is there anyone riding them? Do they look like they're going to attack?
The vultures are circling in descending spirals. It looks like they're heading for the castle/spire below.

Devin heads over the where D and Vark are.
"I've heard of these bags, but I can't remember what they are called (Arcana 10). Can I look at it for a second?"
