Piccolo raises her tiny instrument (think an Obi-wan absorbing the lighting from Dooko.), and casts counterspell, negating the lightning bolt.( Reaction) Then she winks at Ethan (how damaged is Ethan?, is everyone in ok shape?)
Barely hanging on (32/143hp left), Ethan manages to block all except the commander's arrow, the lightning and the nat 20 hits with his Shield, but he coughs up blood in the process despite his lack of fear in his face. Closing his eyes for moment, his bat suddenly glows a darker shade of blue; When he opens his aggressive eyes, his pupils have disappeared as the same menacing glow like his bat as he prepares to retaliate tenfold on the ones that injured him the most, aiming for their faces as his sense of reasoning begins to fade; He doesn't respond to Piccolo, but it looks like he's finally in need of help.

"NO! Ethan! Please! Don't lose yourself...!"Randy yells out as he watches his brother go into a mindless rampage. With quick thinking, he moves over to him and presses one of his gauntlets, healing him for a further 19hp. (DEX: 17, Flash of Genius)

Trisk takes (free action) some of the items (whatever Tetrevess doesn't take) found on the body and moves over to the open doorway until he can see one of the enemies. He will then cast Chill Touch on it.
Attack: 22 Damage: 15 necrotic damage, and it can't regain hit points until the start of my next turn. Until then, the ghostly, skeletal hand clings to the target.
If you hit an undead target, it also has disadvantage on attack rolls against you until the end of your next turn.
"Look for exits or gates! We've got to keep moving, fighting them is pointless! There will always be more undead! Their purpose is to wear us down!"
The wood elf captive on hte shrine looks up from her daze, realizing that you're here and not with the thsyans or yet more undead horrors, she calls to you "Beware, the spirits of the lost linger here, their Despair an insidious threat."
Piccolo plays her instrument to the wood elf. She projects with her musical notes an image of the party freeing the wood elf, then escaping the area.
(On her action or when the time works, feeling a sense of being a trapped kindred spirit, Piccolo also looks around, trying to decipher if there is a way to release the spirits from this place (a crystal holding them, magiks that were placed here, a ritual)
<trying to figure out how to reveal it, but.. she is here because Picollo escaped. She's kind of her replacement>
Picollo does notice something about this shrine uncommon to the other shrines of binding found throughout the temples of Extraction. Upon a pedestal sit three small amber stones, shaped like teardrops, arranged in a triangle. At the center, a sprig of oak, bearing three acorns, leaves now brown, brittle and wilted. Pools of yellow wax surround the tableau, evidence of candles burned to exhaustion.
The floating wraith flies through Ethan and Picollo toward the source of the necromancy spell (Trisk's chill touch).
The unit with the chill hand grasping him attacks Ethan with his l9ngsword 10 for 8 slashing, then attempts to grapple Picollo and drag her into the poison chamber. 12
Another wraith also attacks Ethan 20 for 7 slashing and if the way is clear, follows the wraith dragging Picollo.
<Need Picollo's saves to continue with those three, but ill keep going with the rest>
Piccolo Dex save: Nat 20, so 31. Piccolo will dodge the wraith and begin to look for a solution to free the captive (which she will try to do on her turn).
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Crit damage add slashing 6
<Actually, let's keep going with the floating wraith....>
Seeing the dead half-orc lying on the shrine, the wraith moves to it, only to find Tetrevess there. The wraith enters the wizard's body and from within performs a right, memorized and used thousands of times in its life, to raise from the corpse of Yurtus' Chosen, a Specter of unusual aspect.
Free from the bonds that held uts mortal flesh, and under the wraith's command, the Specter attacks Triskellion. An ephemeral scythe appears in his hands and he slashes at the shadar-kai 27, 23 for 11 slashing plus 13 psychic damage (each attack)

It doesn't work. Counterspell fails.
Piccolo dex save: 15: (Trisk takes 3 damage. )

Actually I just wanted to put you in this room for a character moment. As soon as you clear it the NPC, S-, opens up the boss level.
Trisk hits a random baddie with the finger of death.
<rolled a 5, edited for incomprehensible spelling>
The warrior is held fast by the hand, but it doesn't do much damage.
Tetrevess is up.
