Seeing the undead and too spread to censure them, Kragen grabs a flask of holy water, unstopped the cork and pours it over his head. Saying a prayer to Tyr about granting protection from vile creatures.
Protection from Evil/good L1. Himself
then prepares to bring Tyrs countenance on these foes
Cleave, if they were within 5' when moving past he gets bonus attack. Nat 1 (sad face NM)
Shadow that was hit has speed reduced to zero. Depending on where the shadows end up I might use the 15' of movement.
Relentless avenger: Your supernatural focus helps you close off a foe’s retreat. When you hit a creature with an Opportunity Attack, you can reduce the creature’s Speed to 0 until the end of the current turn. You can then move up to half your Speed as part of the same Reaction. This movement doesn’t provoke Opportunity Attacks.
Chadwick reacts to the shadow moving by him and out of his area of control. He hits with the halberd, reducing Shadow1's speed to zero. No other targets within 5' of Shadow1 so no Cleave attack.
Shadow4 moves past Yartol and Chadwick, both fresh out of Reactions. It closes on Starker, moving by Kragen and prompting a Reaction from him. Kragen responds with Sacred Flame. The Shadow fails its save and suffers greatly from the Radiant damage inflicted.
Starker throws platinum circlet into room with jade lion shards and casts misty step and then runs away, shouting:”I will be in that closet where we found the books and scrolls”
19 - 13 radiant + Sap. If you hit a creature with a Longsword, that creature has Disadvantage on its next attack roll before the start of your next turn.
Trolkarl attacks Shadow2 with Darkbane, hitting for 10 Radiant damage. The shadow is destroyed in a flash of light. He then closes on Shadow3 and attacks, to hit = 19 for 13 Radiant damage. That shadow is also destroyed in a flash of light.
Yartol attacks Shadow1 after transferring Hunter's Mark to it. He hits for 10 piercing, 2 force and 2 psychic damage. He follows up with another attack from his short sword, for 9 piercing damage. The shadow dissipates into nothingness. He easily closes the distance on Shadow4 and attacks with his scimitar, a critical hit for 11 slashing damage. That shadow is destroyed as well.
"Perhaps someone should retrieve the mage from wherever he has run off to before he finds more trouble?," Yartol says to Trolkarl.
<Starker wanders back into the room where The Company defeated the shadows.>
“Well done, friends and colleagues! Did it seem odd to any of you that the shadows seemed to focus their ire on me? I thought perhaps it was because of this circlet I had donned, which is why I doffed it and tossed it in there. <gestures> After I had run away did any of you notice if they continued to move towards the circlet or turn to follow me?”
<retrieves circlet and rod. Restarts Identify titual.>
Yes. They definitely appeared focused on you. I’m not sure about the circlet or if it was just your charms that drew their attention, Starker. But they were recklessly pursuing you.
If we need to handle the circlet... for identification, then so be it. But I can tell you that crossing the bickering magic mouths is hard enough with full strength. I have no interest in more shadows appearing and draining our power. Unless this thing has some special value that you determine, I say throw the damn thing into a bottomless chasm and forget it.
<Starker nods while he and Cyrus continue to note the trajectory of dust motes as they fall past the rod.”>
When/if the ritual ends he reponds:”I can’t help but believe these circlets are badges of rank in Illinadil’s army of followers … If we have more rope I would be willing to be trussed up and when anchored by strong companions, attempt the windy debaters.”
Starker:”It is a Rod of the Jade Sentinel! A very useful tool, though it requires attunement to a spell caster. When conbined with The Verdant Heart it is truly remarkable. Please be on the lookout for a flawless orb of deep jade about 8 inches across. I expect you will not allow an hour’s attunement now, given the spectral hourglass’ top bulb emptying above us?”

Kragen reacts and channels Tyrs vengeance on these vile undead. Targeting the same one Chadwick smote, unless it vanishes, then targets the other.

Combat ends.
Chadwick peers down the cavern "I'll stay here on lookout if someone wants to grab the mage".
Yartol joins Chadwick.

Starker and Cyrus are able to complete the process of casting Identify upon the rod.
