(@Drache: Let's go with the original attack roll. No reason to waste a perfectly good roll.)
Rhogal feels another lick of the shadow tentacle suck his strength away. (Rhogal takes 10 necrotic damage and his STR score is reduced by4.)
Kairus shivers as the back of his thigh is lashed. (Kairus takes 9 necrotic damage and his STR score is reduced by1.)
Immediately after the attack is delivered, the Snackers can guess that one shadow likely emerged from within the pillar that Mr. Thicc was investigating, though from the other side of it, so the construct couldn't quite get to it. Albeit a second or two too late, this proves to be no problem for Hun, who lobs his prepared spell at the emerging target. Despite the accurate throw, the humanoid-shade is able to shrug off the cold sensation. (Shadow#1 takes 0 cold damage.)
Despite the strange fluke of a spell, one other Snacker has a chance at the same shadow. Rhogalperforms a throw next, hitting the enemy right in its center mass. (Shadow#1 takes 9 magical bludgeoning damage.)
The shadows then vanishes once more. Well, one of them is successful in doing so (the one Rhogal hurt). The shadow who attacked Kairus remains partially visible, though it has moved to the corner of the room {KV-77}.
(@Blue: Concentration on Bane is dropped because the two enemies affected by it are now defeated.)
With a new enemy now revealed to him, Yulmiath charges the shadow at KV,77 down. Snarling as he moves, Yulmiath brings his greataxe to bear in a wide horizontal chop.
(Reckless attack and GWM in effect)
Attack: 11 Damage: 20
Roaring in what he assumes is the face of the shadow thing, sparks as well as spittle flies at it.
(DC13 dex save or 6 lightning damage. Half damage on a save).
Taking great delight in dispatching his adversary with a single blow, he puffs up a bit despite the weakness he is feeling and smiles at the flail "Never thought I'd give up a blade.." and shrugs, pushing toward the dais, prowling for something else to hit.
(@Lerus: Forgot to ask, but has it been 10 mins since Hun had Detect Magic going? As it is, unfortunately concentration. Doesn't help with detecting the creatures as well, but would dictate future actions.)
"Shoot! Blasted things are far more resilient then I gave them credit. Mr. Thicc! It's time for a change of stratagem." Hun commanded the construct, as he himself busily searched his mind palace for any relative information on the shadows on their potential weakness. At least weakness that went beyond his earlier assessment of their limitations. In the meantime, Mr. Thicc either finds his way to the little, old kobold's side ready to punch the first thing in reach, or following a barked word in draconic, sought to finish off the one visible shadow had Yulmiath's and Kairus' efforts prove to be for naught.
Bonus Action(Hun): Command Mr. Thicc to: a)(if no threat visible)Move to KP-73 and ready a punch for 1st visible target to appear. or b)(if shadow at KV-77 yet lives)Move to KV-76 and Attack it.
Action/Future Reaction(Mr. Thicc): Cast FIST at enemy Shadow. (Melee)Force Rend - Attack: 9 Damage: 10 of Force.

With Yulmiath unleashing the mighty axe on the visible enemy, Kairus decided not to get in the way and keep his distance. However, the other shadow disappeared again and the triton narrowed his eyes looking around in the hope of catching a dark whisp left by the monster. "Come out, come out, wherever you are..." He almost sang the words of universal call of the old game, making them sound as mockingly as humanly (tritonely?) possible.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Yulmiath stomps forward {KU-76} and attacks the only visible enemy, Kairus' encouraging words still ringing in his ear. The shadow falls just short of fading away following the destructive magical strike, which includes a non-negligible electric spark. (Shadow#4 takes 23 magical slashing and lightning damage.)
Knowing one more shadow might be coming for him, Krodhen takes a central position in the room and remains on standby.
Wanting to put these shadowy foes down as quickly as possible, Kairus decides not to wait until Yulmiath has another go at the foe in the corner. The bard casts a simple spell, pushing the visible shadow ever closer to complete oblivion. (Shadow#4 takes 3 psychic damage.)
(@Ori: Similar to @Blue's case, since the corner shadow is still up, Mr. Thicc would go for it, as per your post.)
A bit impressed by the enemies' resilience, Hun takes a moment to study his battle observations so far. He comes to the following conclusion:
These shadows are certainly undead creatures. All undead creatures are, at least to some minimal extent, averse to righteous divine power. Some are more averse than others, to the point it may cause their immediate destruction. These shadows could be this more-vulnerable type of undead... hopefully.
Orders received, Mr. Thicc begins to make his way to the southeast corner. However...
Mr. Thicc moves only 5ft before halting {KN-75}. He keeps trying to move forward but can't. The construct's head turns around so it can better understand his situation. He sees that the nearby urn has, somehow, sprouted a long, sticky tongue and attached it to Mr. Thicc's back plating. (Mr. Thicc takes 11 bludgeoning damage.)
In a moment of free will, the construct decides to attack the tongue with the punch it had been charging up for the shadow at the corner. Unfortunately (or fortunately), the punch completely misses its target given the awkward angle of attack.
Not yet privy to this new development, Rhogalempowers another pebble and goes for a "Fine, I'll do it myself" moment. Without moving from his spot, the druid chucks the stone at the far shadow and forces it into nothingness. (Shadow#4 takes 5 magical bludgeoning damage and is DEFEATED.)

The last shadow once again reappears out of, seemingly, thin air. It surprises Rhogal with another attack, though from a different, unexpected low angle from a spot 10ft away (unseen attacker):
-> Shadow Tentacle vs. Rhogal: Attack: 19 Damage: 13 (on a hit: 2)
Separately, the tongued-urn now reveals its long, sharp fangs and attempts to chomp Mr. Thicc down (it has advantage on this attack).
Rhogal almost manages to avoid a third attack by these shadows, but it is not to be. More of the dwarf's strength is siphoned from him. (Rhogal takes 5 necrotic damage and his STR score is reduced by3.)
Plating its metallic feet on the ground, Mr. Thicc avoids being pulled in close enough to the urn's teeth for it to bite the construct.
Unfortunately, Krodhen is too far away from either enemy to let his enchanted flail loose.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
With no new target in sight, Yulmiath stalks his way to the centre of the room, swinging his head this way and that, sniffing the air, taking quiet, careful footsteps.
(OOC Using perception for Yully's search. He wouldn't necessarily be thinking clearly given his burning rage. If investigation is preferred, reduce his roll by 2.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
A touch regretting inability to kick the dead body of the shadow (for the absence of said body), Kairus continued scanning the surroundings for the last enemy.
Should Krodhen notice the shadow, the triton will answer the call with immediate hissing (for 8, Wis dave 15) ready to ensure the words were hurting ( Silvery Barbs in case of a successful save with the advantage to Rhogal )
But should Krodhen's search fail, the noise of Mr.Thicc fighting an urn would finally attract Kairus's attention. "Wow! You have some kind of mimic here. Knew there are some on the surface! This one pretends to be a vase!" All of this was conveyed very fast and excitedly though did not mean Kairus was not going to do something about the mimicking creature.
(The Dissonant Whisper will be directed at the urn then, with accompanied SB and advantage to Mr.Thicc)

(@Lerus: Since we rested after the Axe Beak fight it would not be. Hun would've definitely burnt the remaining charges on its self-repair the night before or used mending to get its health back. I just forgot to make the adjustments. Fixing now and HP should be at 15.)
Hun clicked his tongue and wouldn't even bother sharing his findings. As whatever vulnerabilities the creature had, the others had plenty of strength left to -- "Wait, where's Mr. Thicc?" He question, realizing belatedly the construct hadn't obeyed his orders. As he looked to where he last saw him, he started to yell for it again, only for his words to turn into a curse as a timely turn of the construct's body revealed the nature of its current predicament!
"Break free, Mr. Thicc!"He exclaimed as he himself rushed over while fumbling with his pack. By the time he reached the constructs side, Hun had managed to break out another vial to throw into the creature's maw.
