There is a faint trickle of dust from the roof above the companions as something unseen moves across it, Dev goes into a song and dance routine drawing the attention of those on the dais.
Liam speaks some words and is covered in a tracery of dark protective magics.
A tiny click is heard from above the group as if a bolt is being cocked.
Magnus glances at the ceiling trying find whatever is making the noise but as he can not see anything he moves farther way from the group, trying to place a box or pillar in between himself and where he thinks he heard the click.
He then looks at Sandra as a green glow forms in his hand and he throws his Eldritch Blast at her face.
Lokilia grabs three stones from her pouch, quickly using the arcane words to cast Magic Stone. She then launches one towards Sandra. (Spell Attack: 25, crit; Damage: 11)
While it seems Quinn is saying 'go', she is not sure what everyone is doing. She doesn't really want to charge off and have to take on undead on her own. She moves to stay near the ladder leading up to the hatch but staying put at the bottom for the moment.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Both Magnus and Lokilia assault Sandra with energy and stone alike causing her hat-filled face to turn upon them! her expression even more hateful when she spies Tyler among them.
She raises her hands and black coils of energy curl about them then race out toward Magnus, Lokilia and Tyler.
Vs Magnus Attack: 21 Damage: 9

" Kill Them All!!", she screamed, in response the dead gathered around the walls began to slowly close in.....

Quinn will shout, “Get out of here everyone, we are outmatched. They can’t do their rituals without bodies to turn. I will try to hold them off as long as I can!”
Quinn will the dip over to attack the woman with his blade, activating blade ward as a bonus action.
"You know what Quinn, I'm not leaving. These folk need to be stopped, and that's what the Pale Guard do", Normont says as he advances within range of Sandra whilst trying to avoid the undead.
He then lifts his pistol, aiming it at Sandra and squeezes the trigger.
Movement: Closes to with 30ft of Sandra (staying away from the undead) Action: Attack Sandra with pistol - To Hit: 6+4=10, Damage: 2+2=4
Magnus tries and ducts back behind the crates he is hiding behind as the black energy hurtles toward him, blasting into this shoulder and spinning him around as he once again falls to the ground unconscious.

As he falls Magnus hears a sigh of annoyance from overhead and as Asoto Ocici shimmers into view standing inverted on the ceiling, she mutters, " Oh, get up." as a chill blue flame lights about him. ( + 8 hp).
Beside her Sata also shimmers into view as two blades wing their way from her hands to strike Liam in the chest, " Sorry, Uncle. But your taste in women is deplorable."
Dev’s song continues, with growing intensity as the teen tiefling, eyes and horns rippling with arcane energy, moves step by step closer to the robed figures. The sound resonates throughout the chamber, and with each slamming back-beat, dust and spiders—or whatever lives in the ceiling and walls— poofs out, falling away from the crashing vibrations. Dev’s friends may keep away, sensing that to come too close would cause actual pain.
“You better run, you better do what you can
Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
Just beat it (beat it), beat it (beat it)
No one wants to be defeated…”

Magnus' blast goes wide of the woman as Dev dances closer to those on the pavillion, they both move closer to him as if to brush by him, Liam in particular has his eyes set upon the sisters.
Lokilia almost passes out from the blast from Sandra. 'Just one of several she managed. We're outmatched but nobody else is backing off,' she thinks. Standing near the way up and out, she's a bit exposed, so she looks for the closest cover, making her way to get behind it. As she does, she launches another enchanted stone at Sandra. (Spell Attack: 14, Damage: 8)
Lokilias stone span towards Sandras face but at the last moment she held up her hand and a shadowy tendril flicked the stone away harmlessly, she screamed in rage again and sent another three crackling bursts of energy at them.

Magnus coughs and grabs his shoulder as the pain subsides and he stumbles back up to his feet, grimacing and and looking toward Sandra again.
Another green glow emanates from his hands as another Eldritch Blast shoots out to hopefully strike the woman down.
Eldritch Blast to hit: 13 Damage 8
He will then move around the crate using his remaining 15' of movement to put the crates between him and Sandra.
[OOC: Oh yea, dang it, the Bless on Jasper, Normont and Quinn fall away as I Iost concentration.]

Magnus' blast goes wide of the woman as Dev dances closer to those on the pavillion, they both move closer to him as if to brush by him, Liam in particular has his eyes set upon the sisters.
Jasper fires at Sandra with his crossbow.
Attack: 12 Damage: 7
Liam Con save 12
Sandra Con save 15
Jaspers bolt goes wide but Liam is staggered a little by Devs concussive display.
Liam turns towards Dev, nursing his side, as his eyes flash crimson, " Shut Up!"
( Dev must make a DC 13 Wisdom Save or fall prone and incapacitated. May Save again on your turn to escape the effects.)
( Jasper and Lokilia are up)
