((Thank you Barty, I wasn’t clear on location in the room, that will change what Arkun does.))
Arkun looks down the room and sees the human and the skeletons in the distance, but leaves them alone. He backpedals 15-20 feet and casts entangle to snare / slow the closer crawling hands and the zombie, hopefully restraining them.

The decaying hands skitter across the cavern floor like scarabs, sloughing off bits of flesh as they crawl toward you. Small and quick, they prove difficult to strike; by the time that Aldric and Rumble's weapons reach two them, they are near their feet, crawling over armor in an attempt to find flesh.
Rylan's whip lashes out toward one of the hands, striking nothing but the air near it, as the paladin moves along the wall of the chamber near the stairway. Much to his chagrin, the robed zombie follows, swinging a heavy arm toward the back of his neck that misses by a few inches. The sound of the whip seems to startle the human at the workbench, if his high pitched shout is any indication. His head snaps toward the sounds of combat, and he backpedals behind the line of skeletons at the far end of the chamber, who remain standing stoically without movement.
Arkun chants the incantation of a spell, and thick vines suddenly sprout from the ground, engulfing four of the crawling claws within them. Two of the severed hands can be seen using their claws to clamber up and down the vines while another is caught firmly within them.

Placement: Aldric is engaged in melee combat with one crawling claw. Rumble is engaged in melee combat with one crawling claw. Rylan is engaged in melee combat with the zombie, 30 feet away from the claws. Arkun is 15 feet behind the claws and 45 feet away from Rylan. The skeletons and the human are currently non-combatants and 90 feet away from Rylan.
Aldric half notices the hooded man scramble away as his axe misses its target. He is forced to attempt to not only scrape the hand off his armored leg, but also slice it in two.
As Rumble felt the blessings of the earth fade from his being, his heart began to hammer in his chest as a more primal one stirred within him. He would go on to grit his teeth in defiance of it, as the beating carried an all too familiar and frightening rhythm to it. But, as blood began to boil undeterred by his will, the conflict led to a moment's hesitation, and his swing at the crawling claw nearest him is one so wide that only by a miracle would the axe blade bite rotten flesh over stone floor upon completion of the strike! Hit or miss, Rumble found himself nevertheless growling out, "Hold... Sssstilll!"

Aldric's blade slices cleanly through the hand gripping his leg, and it falls to pieces as another of the crawling claws clambers right over it to follow suit. Rumble's axe slams into the stone at the sides of the claw that continues to crawl toward him, giving chase across the chamber. Arkun's wisp slams into the back of the zombie that Rylan is tangled with, the creature too close for the paladin to fully draw his blade, but one of the claws within the entanglement skitters across the floor toward Arkun, drawing his attention closer. The last claw wriggles free of the vines holding it, clambering over vines to escape.

"I. Said. Hold. STILL!"Rumble barks out as he lashed out with far more ferocity than before, likely splitting both the hand the ground beneath it in twain by a few inches. He hardly waits to check his work. So long as the claw appeared even remotely incapacitated, the earth genasi is on the move again, doubling if need be, but ultimately lunging at the claw near Arkun, as whatever echoes of Aldric's request provided some semblance of focus. But if any were to dare look at him closely enough, they'd see a man walking a fine line between fury and focused purpose.

Another yell from Rumble temporarily pulls Aldric's focus away from the battle. He cuts his eyes toward the genasi, the words of his own training replaying in his mind. It isn't until he feels the weight of another hand skittering up his legs that he again swings his axe, this time less expertly.
Rylan grits his teeth and furrows his brow, unable to keep his mind from wondering who this fellow was in life and how they ended up with such a horrible fate as he brings his sword across its body...

“Vorencio! Se lasio!” Arkun says in a force whisper to his staff, then he strikes at the clawing hand, batting it up against the wall, striking it as it makes its way forward toward him. Afterward, he looks up at the human in the distance, seeing what he is up to.
Rylan disembowels the zombie, which continues to flail wildly, its limbs battering against the paladin's armor and failing to do any real damage. Further back in the room, the others begin to get their bearings against the crawling claws; Rumble's axe splits one down the middle, and Arkun's shillelagh clubs another, scattering it across the cavern in pieces. The hand that had been working its way out of the vines meets Rumble's other axe before it can wreak any havoc of its own, leaving only a single severed hand still in a stalemate with Aldric.
Arkun looks across the cavern to the man still standing behind the quartet of skeletons. His face is unreadable from this distance, but his angry and defensive stance is quite clear.

In his years as a Knight of Samular, Aldric has engaged in combat with a variety of opponents. And while he prefers close quarters — he has never felt comfortable firing a bow — never before has he had to deal with a disembodied hand attempting to crawl up his person. Despite his earlier disapproval of Rumble's outburst, a low rumble in the half-orc's chest has become a vocalized growl that is in danger of turning into a yell of surprise.
Aldric scrapes his axe down his armor once again, attempting to remove the hand from him, but it is small and agile and in a most inconvenient place.
Attack: another 7
"Get this thing off me!" he demands. He slaps at his chest with his off hand, almost knocking himself in the chin with his shield.
Rumble hadn't needed to be told twice. In fact, he hadn't need to be told anything at all, as he barely remained still longer than needed to identify another target, before then rushing at Aldric. Under different circumstances, his axes might've found their hilted at the earth genasi's side, thus freeing his hands to start try to pull the crawling claw on Aldric away. Yet in the heat of the moment, it is... fortunate most of Aldric's attention is on the claw, and not on the earth genasi's wild swings. One of which seeming to finally find its mark in scraping the claw from Aldric's back!

With his mind in its current state, Rumble does not shirk away from Aldric's glare. And though it would take a moment longer than normal for the Orc's words to register, once they pierce the mental haze of raze coloring the earth genasi's vision, for just a moment, the fury gave way to... surprise? Confusion? Relief? Hard to say in the heat of the fleeting moment, but soon after he's charging the zombie with more a smile than a grimace on his face ready to hack away limbs until it was no longer a threat! It's felling -- be it by his hands or another, however, seems not enough.
