The shepherds then drag the grappledSigil into the room (Sigil is now at {CR-19} while the shepherds are at {CR-18}). Finally noticing the Killer Whale in the room, one of the shepherds points a finger in its direction and releases their newest ally from his silly new form (upcasting Dispel Magic).
-> Graxximus returns to his paladin self.
-> Nox is forced out of concentration on Polymorph.
Nox take out her Staff of Swarming Insects and enchant it with Shillelagh, While walking back to CP-6 she use the staff power Giant Insect enlarging 3 spiders into giant spiders in between her and Graxx. She order them to stop the armored guy in front of them.

"Sigil mutely stares, still effectively dead to the world"
LEGENDARY ACTION (end of Sigil's turn)
The shepherd's tentacles wrap around the human's neck, their touch cold and dry:
-> Attack: 24 Damage: 24 psychic
Sigil's nightmare intensifies.
(@Hydra: I noticed Sigil's HP was not up to date, so I went ahead and updated it. According to my count, Sigil is at 56 HP after this attack and the one in the last legendary action.)
Nox collects three spiders from her staff and releases them into the room, magically enlarging then into fearsome beasts. The three arachnids then attempt to trap Graxximus where he stands, but only one of them succeeds in hugging him immobile (Graxximus is now grappled). The tortle then retreats to the corner and enhances her close-quarters-combat ability.
Graxximus tries to free himself by killing the hugging spider, but manages to hit it with force only once (Giant Spider#3 takes 15 magical bludgeoning damage and 3 radiant damage for a total of 18 damage.). The paladin is still grappled.
Speaking of arachnids, Scorpio-Le'gal remains paralyzed.
LEGENDARY ACTION (end of Graxximus' turn)
One of the shepherds continues to work on Sigil's skull as the other three huddle around him:
-> Attack: 30 Damage: 67 piercing.
A gruesome, wet crack can be heard throughout the chambers... The shepherd goes into a momentary state of ecstasy as all life abandons Sigil's body (Sigil takes 67 piercing damage and is now brainless. I'm afraid that's INSTA-DEATH).
Already expecting Sigil to start disappearing, one of the four shepherds grabs the warrior's magical shield.
NOTE: Twenty of Nox's Goodberries are still active (reference). All party members are benefiting from Aid to some degree (reference).
FOGGY PASTURE MAP UPDATE:
NOTE: Le'gal is being squeezed into a medium space. Space {CW-13} is now broken/open space, but it is difficult terrain due to rubble.
(Charles and Talon are up next. Please note that you cannot move past Scopio-Le'gal by conventional means as she is a Large creature stuffed in a hallway.)
Talon will move to CR, -22 then , finally, use Hexblade's Curse to sap a little strength from the shepherd. He will then try to disintegrate the shepherd.
BONUS ACTION: Hexblade's Curse with strength debuff.
ACTION: Cast disintegrate. Requires a DC 18 dexterity save or take 83 force damage.
Still unsure of what to do the next, Charles makes sure his defenses are up as he waits for some sort of signal from his companions.
DM's Screen:
SS: 6
After that, Talon decides it is time to let Le'gal turn back. He drops the transformation and the scorpion quickly reverts back to being a bugbear. As the goblinoid reforms, Le'gal goes back to being stunned, incapacitated, and prone, on top of being paralyzed (and her INT score is back to being zero). On the flip side, that feeling that she was sharing her mind with someone else is also gone...
Talon then steps in front of Charles and is the first one to move toward the action. He curses the shepherds as soon as he lays eyes on all four of them. His next move is to fire a powerful beam, but one of the shepherds then counterspells it (upcast).
giant spider 3 Move into the other room while holding on Graxx as far as possible. Not wanting getting to get sliced again it use it spider-sense to dodge incoming attacks. giant spider 2,1 follow the lead spider closing the gap and focusing on dodging to.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
(@Ori: The CON saves are for getting rid of the paralyzed condition. It won't help with the other conditions but it could make a difference if you all, for instance, decide to escape and depending on how you go about it. Please keep them coming.)
As Le'gal continues to struggle on the ground, Nox recovers more of her vitality through magical means (healing for 78 HP). The druid then approaches the center of the chamber while the spiders under her command push Graxximus out of the room. However, that does not keep her safe. Graxximus teleports out of the grasp of the one spider (no longer grappled) and hovers above the now much closer Nox while swinging his mace.
The tortle gets hit on the top part of her shell, near the head, three times. Each is followed by a cracking sound (Nox takes a total of 65 magical bludgeoning damage).
The shepherds then drag the grappled Sigil into the room (Sigil is now at {CR-19} while the shepherds are at {CR-18}). Finally noticing the Killer Whale in the room, one of the shepherds points a finger in its direction and releases their newest ally from his silly new form (upcasting Dispel Magic).
-> Graxximus returns to his paladin self.
-> Nox is forced out of concentration on Polymorph.
(Sigil, Nox, and Scorpio-Le'gal are next up.)

Graxximus, head snaps from looking at the spiders to Nox as if he has completely disregarded the spiders.
"Going." Graxximus states flatly.
Graxximus becomes briefly surrounded by a silvery mist as he uses Misty Step to move 30 ft closer to Nox and out of the spiders grasp.
Graxximus then flies directly above the head of Nox. Graxximus then begins his onslaught with his Mace powered with Divine Fury.
