Ursa will try to position himself (without Opp attacks) so that he can cast Burning Hands to get both Shadows B & C and none of his team mates. Presume he can he will cast Burning hands: DEX 13 Save or take 12. Half that if saved.
If he can't, then he will cast Magic Missel at Shadow B. Damage: 14
With his owl, Nettle, still blinded and still concentrating on Summon Beast, Soren notices with his own eyes, the additional stone tablet drop from the ceiling.
"I think we finish this last Shadow and then, if this new tablet also has 'Wrongteous' on it, we put it into the slot since it said 'do wrong again to do right.'"
Soren attacks the remaining Shadow (B) from 25' away with his Thorn Whip and just after his turn, his summoned beast of the land Spike attacks with its Maul attack using pack tactics for advantage with at least one ally within 5'. Actually, both attacks have advantage due to Brix'sFaerie Fire.
The last shadow fades away with a soundless scream, soon after another stone tablet falls from the ceiling. However, unlike the others this one is white. (The others are gray.)
Scratching Spike between the shoulder blades and gently ruffling Nettle's feathers as the owl tries to recover her vision, Soren picks up the white tablet and examines it, comparing it to the gray one, showing the others in the party.
"Any of you see an immediate threat? If not, let's wait a few seconds so that Brix and Nettle are no longer blinded and then put one of these tablets in. But which one? What do you all think?"
To himself Thom thinks 'Righteous, what does that even mean anymore?' Then snaps himself back to his normal self.
"Well I do believe that only one of us here fit that word." He puffs out his chest and holds a hand out as if expecting the tablet to be handed to the most righteous of the party.
Soren looks around uncertainly to see if any of the others, maybe Ursa or Brix, have any ideas. He speaks as Brix and Nettle recover from being blinded.
"I... I don't know if 'wrongteous' is even a real word like 'righteous' is. And Thredash, I am not sure, but I think that order and chaos are different than right and wrong, or good and evil. I generally believe in good and right. Sometimes it's obvious like killing those ghouls and shadows. But sometimes it's hard to know what righteousness is. And then there is the thought that there should be some balance as well, especially with order and chaos."
"But in our case, the clue said that 'Overcoming Evil Requires Much Wrongteousness'. If we trust that, then we might need to put another 'wrongteous' tablet in there before we put the 'righteous' one in? What do you all think?"
Nettle lets out a little "ooh-hoo" to indicate she can see again and Spike growls amiably.
Brix rubs his eyes until the spots begin to finally dissipate and his vision clears.
He blinks rapidly as he looks around the room. "Grand to be able to see you all. Did I miss anything? It sounded like I might have missedsomething." Brix stands and brushes himself off. " I see the way out is open but we barely know anything about what just happened. Allow me to look one last time to see if I can learn anything about the origins of this contraption."
OCC: In light of the new tablet and the knowledge gained by the results of slotting one tablet already can Brix make a history check using his Artificers Lore skill to gain some information on the room?
While Ursa is on the clock, can I ask: how injured do Shadows B and C look respectively? (I know Shadow A is down.)
Tanis(Ranger1): Shiverquill's Tempest City | Xarian(Fighter2): NioNSwiper's Tyranny of Dragons
Dyson/Eleo(TwilightCleric4): Vos' Beyond the Veil | Soren(ShepherdDruid5): Bartjeebus' Ravenloft | Ophelia(WildMagicSorcerer4): Ashen_Age's Risen from the Sands
Joren(EchoKnightFighter6): NotDrizzt's Simple Request | Sabetha(MercyMonk3): Bedlymn's Murder Court | Seri(NatureCleric3/DivineSoulSorcerer1): Bartjeebus' Greyhawk
Shadow C seems to be slightly less solid than Shadow B. Btw; Shadow A has faded away completely.
Also, before I forget, at the end of the previous round a stone tablet dropped out of a slot in the ceiling.
Ursa will try to position himself (without Opp attacks) so that he can cast Burning Hands to get both Shadows B & C and none of his team mates. Presume he can he will cast Burning hands: DEX 13 Save or take 12. Half that if saved.
If he can't, then he will cast Magic Missel at Shadow B. Damage: 14

Shadow C is destroyed by Ursa's Burning Hands, and Shadow B is much less solid than before.
With his owl, Nettle, still blinded and still concentrating on Summon Beast, Soren notices with his own eyes, the additional stone tablet drop from the ceiling.

After a minute Brix and Nettle are no longer blinded. Inscribed on the tablet that Soren is holding is the word, "righteous".
To himself Thom thinks 'Righteous, what does that even mean anymore?' Then snaps himself back to his normal self.
"Well I do believe that only one of us here fit that word." He puffs out his chest and holds a hand out as if expecting the tablet to be handed to the most righteous of the party.

Sorries, I am a little puzzled by rightness and wrongness...Are they like order and chaos?
Thredash takes some time to wipe himself down.
ooc: erp - just remembered: perception was to see if there was anything more to see, or hear
AMB (Another My Bad) The entrance where the Party entered the chamber has reopened.
(Thredash) The chamber looks the same as before the encounter with the shadows.
Soren looks around uncertainly to see if any of the others, maybe Ursa or Brix, have any ideas. He speaks as Brix and Nettle recover from being blinded.
