This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
(DM -- my Balm of the Summer Court is a Bonus Action and an ability, not a magic spell. Can I call upon that to revive Osso and still channel?)
If so, Bilick will close his eyes as he channels his power, uttering a silent prayer,, filled with profanity to the fey who dwell within his grove to heal Osso's wounds and return him to this world:
Balm of the Summer Court - 6 + 1 temp hit point
If not, Bilick will break off from channeling his magic to help power the machine and rush to Osso's side.
"Easy, cousin." He whispers, and casts Cure Wounds
(OOC, Things have been a little busy these last couple of days. I will process this tomorrow. I like to do battles without initiative, every one moves at the same time an I'll work out any conflicts. I think it makes battles go smoother. You did have time to ready attacks.)
(OOC: Given our GM's ruling on the readied actions, perhaps Osso & Purbag should make their readied attacks against the oncoming shadow at the beginning of combat. That way he can adjudicate it all once he has a chance to get back to us.)

Kendrick attacks the shadow. 16 - 13 - 5 = 0. The next shadow quickly fills the gap. 10 HP. (OOC, would the 5 damage be on the next shadow because Kendrick dropped the last one?)
Bilick uses his bonus action to heal Osso back to 11 HP and channels 11 JE.
With Osso up for now, Kendrick keeps attacking recklessly, trying to kill the shadows before they can harm Osso! "Hang in there, Osso. If you start to feel weak, switch places with me!" grunts Kendrick as he attacks.
(OOC: I would guess the second attack would go on the new shadow, and Purbag may also be shooting them...)
Reckless Attack on the Shadow: Attack: 14 Damage: 13
Bonus Attack if a Critical or that shadow goes down: Attack: 12 Damage: 9

You have restored balance to the flow of magic in the Academy. The ritual concludes successfully and the world lurches as chunks of time and space knit themselves back together like broken bones. Savila expresses her gratitude and offers the characters whatever assistance the Academy can provide, if they choose to pursue and oppose Maghiel.
Reward time!
All bandits on the road to the Bridged City were dealt with, so I'll give you the same amount as if you had killed them. 6*25=150XP split 5 ways is 30XP each.
100XP per shadow killed. I counted 4 killed, but I may have missed one, so lets call it 5. That's 100XP each.
For taking an active roll in the ritual, including defending the casters, 200XP each.
For gathering information in the library, 100XP each (I think that was just Tella)
Best roll play goes to Kendrick and Osso. 200 XP each.
2nd Most posts goes to Bilick with 4 pages of posts. 100XP for Bilick.
Most posts goes to Kendrick with 6 pages of posts. 200XP for Kendrick!
Nice job everyone! I'm going to pause for a while before starting up the next adventure in this campaign. It might be a month for things to settle down again. (I'm changing jobs)

Osso 12 - 13 HP = 0. Osso is knocked unconscious. First Death Saving Throw: 6
"Does you need help?" Silva shouts. "I can revive him, but I can't channel energy at the same time."
Osso failed 1 death saving throw. If he fails two more, he dies. If he makes 3, then he lives.
Total energy needed 100 - 7 - 9 - 14 -14 = 56 JE remaining.
Kendrick:
(Re-posted due to die rolling problem)
OOC: Did we have opportunity to ready attacks before the shadow arrived? Did the shadow win initiative so it attacked first?
Kendrick, poised and ready to attack the shadow as soon as it comes into range, stabs recklessly at it as soon as it is in range of his reach weapon:
Readied Reckless attack, Longspear: 25 Damage: 6
(Great Weapon Master bonus attack if the first attack is a critical or drops the shadow: 22 Damage: 10 )
Initiative: 14
Reckless attack (on his turn in regular initiative), Longspear: 26 Damage: 14
(Great Weapon Master bonus attack if the first attack is a critical or drops the shadow: 20 Damage: 5 )

((Wow. Woke up this morning and replied, now home from work and Osso is down! That went south quick. ))

Osso gets 11 HP back in this method.
Tella continues channeling energy saying to the others "Hurry, we don't have all day"

Tella channels 8 JE

Seeing Osso fall, and the get back up, the Shadow is confused and doesn't attack this turn.
Osso
Dazed but more confused than anything, he quickly assesses the situation. Rage instantly builds within him
"Argghh" a guttural scream is followed quickly by a swing with his Greataxe.
Attack: 22 Damage: 6 + 2 (Rage) = 8

Fun times, guys! I hope we all get to adventure together again, soon!
Alright! I wonder where we will head next... 🤔
I hope you will find yourself the right job
Hurray! Great job everyone. Stay safe.
