Urgog grunts seeing Eldon and the shadows. He mutters under his breath as his weapons slide free. "The zombie was a member of the party I was with in the haunted house that perished. The other things looks like the things that took out another member of the party, the bard. " He moves forward in a low crouch circling to the left and strikes with both blades at the zombie.
Action: A dirt hand rises up in front of Eldon and reaches for him. Eldon must make a Strength saving throw of 13 or take 7 bludgeoning damage and be Restrained.
Ismark stands up, and keeps his shortsword drawn. "Ireena, take this." Ismark then hands Ireena his longsword. "It's time to put your training to use." After handing her the longsword, he looks onto Eldon, raising his shortsword. He rushes forth and starts assaulting Eldon and Kestrell.

Donavich senses the urgency and that Ireena's the target, he cites a prayer to the Morninglord and casts Sanctuary on Ireena.
The four shadows get turned by Thademar, and they immediately Dash into the basement. Everyone makes their attacks against Kestrell and Eldon, but only Urgog was able to land a hit against Eldon.
The Shadow of Kestrell reaches forward to Urgog and will attempt to drain his Strength.
"No one wants to get the hell out of here then? We all want to stick around with the creepy vampire dude and his shady henchmen?"
Winter moves back to next to Donavich and then uses his action to cause the Earthen Hand to try and grab Eldon again.
[OOC]: Eldon must make a Strength saving throw of 13 or take 6 bludgeoning damage and be Restrained, requiring a Strength saving throw of 13 to escape.

The Chaos Bolt from Winter obliterates Eldon and Thademar casts Guiding Bolt onto Eldon's corpse for good measure. Urgog's silvered shortsword cleaves through Kestrell's Shadow and the shadow fades away permanently. Nixus doesn't do anything note-worthy as he watches Eldon and Kestrell perish. Ismark stares coldly at Strahd who remains standing outside the church. Ireena still looks terrified upon remembering that Strahd is watching her contently.
"Pathetic." Strahd mumbles under his breath. Strahd then adverts his gaze onto Donavich. Donavich suddenly feels a sense of dread wash over him while Strahd looks onto him. Strahd's hypnotic gaze quells Donavich of his sorrow briefly, and Donavich feels tranquility for once.
Donavich's Wisdom Saving Throw: 15
Donavich's demeanor has changed entirely within just a few moments. The others may not be aware of exactly what just happened.
"Let me in." Strahd asks Donavich softly. Donavich smiles wholeheartedly and nods his head. "You're welcome to come in." Donavich replies. Strahd grins ominously, as he now eagerly steps into the church, with his gaze locked on Ireena. Ismark responds by pushing Ireena back. "Run!" Ismark says vigorously, as he charges after Strahd with his shortsword in hand.
