The spectres seem to have a strategy, whether that is from long experience or maybe instruction from their Lord on tactics will never be known. Both spectres attack Vakiel (who has taken the dodge action)
Spectre attacks Vakiel with disadvantage - Attack: 6 Damage: 12 - on a hit Vakiel must make DC10 Con save
Spectre attacks Vakiel with disadvantage - Attack: 17 Damage: 12 - on a hit Vakiel must make DC10 Con save
Then both spectres fly away and disappear back through the door they came into.
Vakiel can use his reaction to make an opportunity attack on one of them.
There is one confused spectre hovering in front of the door. Another confused spectre fled (and may or may not appear on its turn) and the last was not affected. Neither of these last two are visible.
The black bladed sword passes through the spectre twice, disrupting the spirit. As it dissipates you hear a whisper "We'll be back! It's the master's curse.."
Augustin inches forward again in Operation meat shield. The tactics of drawing enemy fire appears to work.
“I don’t think the ‘Master’ is going to be a push over.”
”I can buy us a a couple of seconds of reprieve if we get overwhelmed, but, I’m starting to feel this old age.” His somber moment is punctuated by a grin and a giggle, his body has aged but he still has the mind of a young boy.
Because there are no targets at the moment I'm going to take the first two attacks as Grimbald holding his action and shooting when the spectres reappear. He can't hold a bonus action though, so we'll ignore the third attack.
The confused spectre takes no actions this turn, so it does not appear to attack the party, and currently has total cover so cannot be targeted. It gets to make a wisdom save at the end of its turn (now) to shake off the effects of the confusion spell - 5.
The other spectre comes through the door and targets Augustin. Because he attacked last turn Augustin is not dodging, so the attack is not at disadvantage.
Attack: 19 Damage: 10 necrotic damage. If a hit Augustin must make a DC10 Con save or his max hit points will be reduced by an amount equal to damage taken.
An explosion of clashing lights appears in an area that all the spectres fly into.
Spectres must make DC15 Wisdom save or be affected
The first spectre does nothing this turn, just hovers, gazing into space.
The second spectre attacks the first one with advantage - but the spectre is immune to necrotic damage so it doesn't even notice the attack.
The third spectre can attack normally and the last spectre passed its save so can attack normally.
The spectres seem to have a strategy, whether that is from long experience or maybe instruction from their Lord on tactics will never be known. Both spectres attack Vakiel (who has taken the dodge action)
Then both spectres fly away and disappear back through the door they came into.
Vakiel can use his reaction to make an opportunity attack on one of them.
After Vakiel makes his opportunity attack it is the party's turn.
There are two spectres affected by the confusion spell and just hover near the door.
If that’s the case. Let’s reduce these numbers.
Augustin will make a series of attacks
Opportunity Attack: 22 Damage: 8
Party now takes their turn.
Augustin moves to attack one of the confused spectres..
He swings his Red Sceptre
As the Red Sceptre passes twice through the incorporeal body of the spectre it loses all its shape and the luminous wisps face away.
This allows Augustin to make a third attack on the other spectre - Attack: 10 Damage: 10
RL will move up to be behind and near Grimbald and Vakiel and hold an action to attack with his starlight spear (10ft reach and throw properties)
There is one confused spectre hovering in front of the door. Another confused spectre fled (and may or may not appear on its turn) and the last was not affected. Neither of these last two are visible.
Vakiel will attack the remaining visible spectre then…
Attack: 21 Damage: 9
Second Attack: 22 Damage: 13

Esa holds her action (casting fire bolt) waiting for the spectres to appear again.
If/when they do appear - fire bolt - Attack: 27 Damage: 20.
Grimbald fires (non-magical ) bolts Attack: 28 Damage: 4, Attack: 16 Damage: 6 and Attack: 18 Damage: 4
Because there are no targets at the moment I'm going to take the first two attacks as Grimbald holding his action and shooting when the spectres reappear. He can't hold a bonus action though, so we'll ignore the third attack.
Spectre's turn:
The confused spectre rolls for its action: 3.
The confused spectre takes no actions this turn, so it does not appear to attack the party, and currently has total cover so cannot be targeted. It gets to make a wisdom save at the end of its turn (now) to shake off the effects of the confusion spell - 5.

The spectre misses Augustin and flies back through the door.
Augustin can make an opportunity attack against it.
The confused spectre remains confused.
