Gareth takes you up on the suggestion to climb the rope and fire arrows down from above. (Athletics 11 Success) He scrambles up to the balcony and turns around just before the eastern double doors burst open, releasing a torrent of undead into the room. Zephyros and Alisande quickly dispatch the first ghoul through the door, leaving four remaining.
Combat continues... We'll start at the top of the round.
(OOC - I had posted that Meira had an attack readied but failed to provide a roll. I'll put that here if it's ok to do, or we can just ignore it:
Shortbow Attack: 22, Damage: 8)
Meira moves to stand next to Lyra. (The square immediately right.) She then fires her bow at the zombie right in front of Alisande.
(Shortbow Attack: 8, nat. 1 misses)
Seeing her shot fly off the mark, she tries to draw the attention of the creatures. "Better watch out! Who knows where my next arrow will land!" (Bonus Action - Master of Tactics - gives HELP to Zephyros on an attack.)
Zephyros, after helping LadyAlisande efficiently slaughter the first ghoul, waits for the undead foes to glare at Meira, thanks to her distraction. Seizing the perfect moment, Ironheart deftly impales the monster in front of him.
Once again, Meira and Zephyros prove capable and quickly dispatch another ghoul. Meira's arrow lodges in the monster's face as Zephyros impales the creature in the chest. It crumples to the ground as Meira shoots another arrow, but Zephyros' movements cause him to block her line of fire. Too late, the arrow flies! Thankfully, the rogue adjusted her aim at the last second, sending the arrow smashing against the stone wall south of the doors.
Two of the remaining ghouls attack Zephyros with clawed hands, but the warrior's defenses prove too powerful. Both attacks miss. One of the ghouls tries to jump up and attack Alisande, but she's just out of reach, making the attack useless.
Gareth sends an arrow into the head of a ghoul attacking Zephyros. The blow of the hit causes the monster to fall to the floor, unmoving.
The winged cat returns from scouting to the west, only to find that another battle has broken out in his absence. He shoots through the air in defence of Alisande, as chivalrous as a knight. Rather than clawing feebly at the monster with his diminutive paws, the calico tressym begins to tap-dance atop the ghoul's head, providing the perfect distraction for his mistress.
Like a cavalier mounted upon a war-horse, the bladesinger wheels her broom back in the direction of the undead, slashing at the ghouls gathered below. Her blade now echoes the accompaniment Meira played for Zephyros' song, modulating it into a freer, rhapsodic form. But before the new harmony can fully take hold, the sword whizzes harmlessly past a row of decaying, blackened teeth.
Ozymandias MOVEMENT: 40ft towards the ghouls. ACTION: Help, to provide advantage.
Theyoung purple-robed dark-haired man with the sinister-looking scar steps closer to the remaining ravenous dwarves assailing the brave soldier, again swiftly placing the hellish curse upon another of the restless dead before unleashing a beam of purplish fire towards it.
Place Hex (str) on Ghoul D Eldritch Blast: 14 Force: 15 Necrotic: 5
By the time Lyrais ready to attack, most of the ghouls are already dead. If she'd taken even a blink longer, her companions would've finished them all before she could act! Pleased that her companions are so effective—but reminding herself she needs to stay alert and move faster next time—she launches a fresh divine ray at the remaining ghoul.
The floating hand beside her doesn't need to be told twice: it immediately curls into a fist and punches the ghoul's ugly face. Pow! It seems Tymorais no longer disgusted by touching undead flesh—if anything, she's grown rather fond of crushing it!
Action: Holy Word Again, the ghoul's speed is reduced by 10 feet and it cannot take reactions until the end of its next turn. To hit: 22/ Damage: 2 Bonus action: Tymora's hand (prioritizing the same targets as above) To Hit: 16 / Damage: 9
If the remaining zombie is still up, Meira holds her position (Bonus Action - Steady Aim) and then she fires her bow at it. (Shortbow Attack: 15, Damage: 8 piercing + 7 sneak attack)
Alisande counter attacks the ghoul as it jumps to attack her, but her blade flies past the monster as it falls back to the ground after its attack. All the while, Ozymandias flies around the ghouls face, causing it to get distracted.
However, as the ghoul seems ready to grab the flying kitten, a beam of purple energy from Rasziel arcs into the undead, blasting the creature in the chest. The blow causes the creature to collapse to the ground with its midsection disintegrated.
Lyra whispers a prayer to Tymora, sending a mote of radiant energy at the last ghoul. It burns into the undead with a divine heat as Tymora's fist strikes it down with a crushing blow. As the monster is falling to the ground, Meira sends an arrow into its eye socket for good measure, ensuring the undead doesn't rise again.

@Alisande Ozymandias can get to the first ghoul to provide help on your action, but would not be able to fly further and leave the threat range.
