Transparent hands did not reach their targets and both abomination stopped in front of the heroes, emanating bone-chilling cold of the grave.
The Minotaur's shape is not visible anymore, though whatever it was, it did not come inside.
The sight and sound of the spirits would normally put a chill in Ordrag's bones, but after fighting devils and minotaur skeletons it is starting to look like just another day in hell. He weaves his way deeper into the hall to give himself more room to swing his weapons at the spirits...
Move to space left of Sp1 (opposite side to Choir) and attack Sp1. (Wow! If first attacks kill one, then second attack on the next one)
Glad that her only combat cantrip is finally being useful, Choir calls on the power of Akadi and casts Word of Radiance again. Shade 1 and Specter 1 take 11 damage unless the make a DC16 con save.

Adray's temper began to flare a bit. This was to be an area of rest for those who had died in service of the city. The heroes of old that predated this whole contract mess desrved better and the corruption of the place dragged on his nerves. He knew that these things were not truly the souls of the heroes, they would have passed on long ago. Focusing, he will strike out at the nearest shadowy creature.

Combined effort of the war machine the group turned into grinded shadowy attackers into cold mist, that disappeared without a trace. The main area of the Chapel remains quiet now and looks empty. This area of the chapel was used for funeral services for esteemed political and military leaders of Elturel - those who could be still buried on the Grand Cemetery. Now, that half smashed (or - miraculously half survived) window, portraying Lathander standing amid fallen soldiers, is all decorations that is left.
Not trusting that all enemies have been vanquished, Ordrag would rather not be surprised by anything hiding behind curtains. Considering that the chapel is already desecrated by undead, nevertheless he looks toward the glass images of Lathandar and Torm, and with a very short and simple prayer of apology to both, Ordrag reaches over to the closest curtain and attempts to rip it from its hanging. If they ever manage to rescue Elturel and restore it to the Sword Coast, he figures it would be a small and very forgivable infraction.

May be Ordrag could consider a career of priest after all. At least he got a chance to test the sincerity and strength of his prayer (DC 10 Charisma check).
As the shadows disappeared, Adray thought he felt a little more balanced restored to this place. He looked around and saw Ordrag heading towards the windows depicting Lathlandar and Torm. His first time visiting, he was less concerned about the artisty and lore of the gods and more into the stories of the heroes but if one was ever going to start really believing, going to Hell was a good reason. He knew little about Torm but knew a little more about Lathlandar from his father. A god of new beginings and road to self improvement. Standing a few steps behind Ordrag, he bowed his head slightly and offered not a prayer to himself, but one to the people, in hopes that they would see that new dawn outside of Hell.
With the few seconds of that done, he calls out, "Great work so far. Let's keep up the momentum. Gather up. Ordrag and I will take point again."
Polly look around, glad that the fighting’s over but still uneasy and on guard. “ I have to ask you all to hold up here for a few minutes first Adrey. I’m believe we need to be as prepared as possible so I’m gonna check if there’s any magical forces waiting for us.”
She start to dig around for her spell book and open it to the intended page and start to ritual cast Detect magic.

Adray was careful and the only showy creature that reached him was the remaining specter, which tried to attack, though:
