(Trimyrai is normally furthest back... Enemy perception rolls: 9 and 11.)

The two undead figures are focused on the tome in front of them. They are trying to pry it open with their tools, with no success. You believe that they haven't noticed you yet, but you don't know how much longer before they will take a break from what they are doing.

Do the two figures look, more or less, the same?  Ie, can Isk discern any differences in rank/hierarchy as to if one might be in charge of the other?

Here is a straight d20 roll in case you need a check: 20

Here is a straight d20 roll in case you need a check: 7

(The roll means you can't identify them. But since you were specific in what you were looking for, you will get that information.

The undead figures are a bit different. The one standing up straighter, with more intact/less decayed clothing, seems to be in charge. The other one is more decayed, body posture more twisted, occasional twitches, and is doing more of the labor in trying to pry open the books with the tools.)

(Did we stop moving as soon as we spotted them or are we still walking stealthily?)

corridor going south

Reverie frowns as she hides behind the wall. "The undead could use the spell? Wondering if they are the dead wizard or something?" She whispers as she prepares her heavy crossbow.

Isk nods at Reverie, "Aye, let's focus on the tall one, take him out first and the other should easy enough."

Isk prepares to fire an Eldritch blast (but GuiltySparc is waiting for others to post thier thoughts)

Trimyrai gets his bow ready.

 Froskan nods along and readies a Frostbite spell.

(Jack hasn't posted, but sounds like the group is ready. If you wanted to proceed in a certain order, we can decide on the initiative. Otherwise, roll for Initiative, and include your first round action. Your group will go, then the two undead.

Isk was unable to identify the enemy, but you can add an Arcana check to everything else if you'd like.)

Reverie would come out from the wall, aims her heavy crossbow at Undead #1. And then shoot.

Ugh, dice God's, why???

(Sorry about those damage rolls. Quite impressive.

After Jack posts, I will take care of the action of the two undead.)

(Sorry! Been busy!)

Jack smirks. “More of them? Charge!” He runs at one of the undead, and swipes at it with his sword!

Attack: 23 Damage: 17

init. 22

Round 1 player results

All of you were aiming for the less-decayed undead, that looks like this. You find out quickly that it has resistance to non-magic weapons.

• Jack - moves around the slab and travels the 20' to his target. It's mage armor is no match for Jack's critical strike, which deals 8 damage.
• Iskander - unleashes an eldritch blast for 6 damage. It is a critical hit, but most of the blast deflects off the book, which is undamaged. (In character reason for the low damage rolls.)
• Trimyrai - also crits with his arrow for 16 damage.
• Froskan - casts Frostbite. Undead CON save vs DC 14: 18. (4 damage, as it fails)
• Reverie - shoots her crossbow, but the bolt deflects off the mage armor.

Round 1 enemy actions

The leader undead is hurt significantly (34 damage). It casts hunger of Hadar at the entrance area. Everyone (except Jack) takes 7 cold damage (3 if you have resistance to cold). You are blinded, and the area is difficult terrain. You feel tentacles reaching at you from the darkness. (Roll DEX save, if you are still in that area at the end of your turn.)

The other undead fires 2 grave bolts at Jack. These are like eldritch blast, but do necrotic damage. Attack1: 24 Damage: 5 ;  Attack2: 15 Damage: 5.

Start of round 2

The leader undead has taken 34 damage, and is hurt badly.

Jack took two spell blasts, for 16 necrotic damage.

Everyone else took 7 damage (3 if you have cold resistance). The area around the entrance is difficult terrain. It is magically dark, you are blinded, and you have to make a DEX save if you end your turn in the darkness. (Your attack is at Disadvantage if you are still in the darkness.) You can move forward out of the darkness, but you will be in melee range of the undead.

Everyone in the party is up again. The initiative order is listed in the last post. If Jack is successful in killing the leader undead on his turn, then the spell around the entrance area will go away.

 Isk rushes out of the darkness into melee with #1.  If he is able to stay 10 feet back, he will, and strike out with his blessed glaive.

Attack: 24 Damage: 10 + 3 necrotic dmg + 5 more necrotic!

(Trim, Froskan, and Reverie no longer need to worry about hunger of Hadar. The only question is if Jack kills the boss undead first, in which case Iskander's strike will switch to the other undead.)
