Hearing the fighter's complaint about lacking a sword, Atal says as he backs up "Well then, just grab one of the shorties off my hip already! I'm not exactly in the best of states to be using them myself!"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Atal's arrow flies at the hooded figure and although it hits the robe, it seems to miss the individual beneath. The arrow sticks through the fabric, and then just sags there, hanging as an ornament from him, as he continues to shamble forward. Even as the rest of the party fill the corridor armed, and ready to fight, it's almost as if the cloaked figures are on a predestined track, nothing seeming to actually cause any type of reaction.
What began as smelling like burning cheap cloth, has turned more into the smell like burning sausage ((Jimmy Dean to be precise)). Both figures have passed through the flaming oil on the floor, but remain burning themselves.
Non-wheezer dex saving: 14 The spell damages the figure, though you wouldn't know it, had it not been for the stutter step that followed the flash of radiant light.
The flames do little to highlight the features of the figures, but instead simply obscures them in fire, rather than shadows.
"Well,"Atal says, speaking conversationally as he continues to back away while nocking an arrow to his bow and taking aim. "Anaeris knew of a way through those two shamblers, but there's even more where they came from and he didn't seem keen on the idea of taking it. Whoever was running from you knew of a way too, but since you came to me I figure that's a no-go." He squints, then decides to fire at the one Uthal was toasting, just to add insult to what was hopefully some injury.
Attack: 21 Damage: 7
"To my reckoning, that only leaves the passage next to where you and the soldier there sprung yourselves out... or into the unknown directly behind us. These guys aren't fast or smart, though... if we make a break for it, I think we can outrun them. Especially if I throw down my ball bearings to make 'em trip on their feet a little. But I'll be just about out of tricks after that," he warns.
Atal is definitely sweating, and from the beating he's taken, you can tell he's not really up for any sort of fight at the moment. But from the way he seems to be reacting, you get the distinct feeling this may not be the first, second, or even fifteenth time he's been beaten to within an inch of his life and chased by several very angry people after a heist gone wrong.
Chimeric monstrosities are a first though,Atal does think to himself with a twinge of worry. More for Anaeris than himself, as the monsters seem to be totally fixated on the dandy.
"Hey, are you sure it isn't that fancy pants clothing of yours drawing them to you?" he calls out to the elf in question as he moves backwards down the hallway as much as he possibly can.
Uthal's spell failed to have the same effect on him again, however an arrow sailing through the air from Atal's bow plunges center into his chest. The arrow eventually catches fire itself, as it sticks out of the figure, continuing towards the group.

If these things are after me, then I should try to hold them off while you three run to this other passage Atal mentioned. You run up ahead, I’ll catch up with you all.
Anearis looked at his companions of fortune, hoping that that they agree to this plan. Without even waiting for a response, Anearis moves forward to engage the figure that’s not on fire.
He sends a first punch in its direction.
Attack: 7 Damage: 6
He then follows up with a well placed kick in the figure’s sternum.
The creatures continue forward, both drifting towards Anearis. Anearis batters one of them with a punch and kick, but they both keep coming. 25
Anearis successfully prevents from catching on fire, from his contact with the flaming figure. In fact he does it so successfully that he somehow causes the flames to ignite further for a second, burning the figure even more.

Ander's sword comes down hard on the figure's neck. Even though the cloak prevents having eyes on the neck itself, you can hear the sword making contact with the stone floor beneath him.
The Wheezer, still burning in open flames, swings at Anearis with his gloved hand, still in place after having attacked his 'non-wheezing' counterpart. Attack 19 Damage 5
Non-Wheezer 19 The flames that engulfed the non-wheezer have since gone out. His smoldering now, and begins to stand back up. As he does so, his robe fall away, being mostly ash at this point, revealing a burnt human corpse looking body beneath. However, parts of the flesh were decayed, and rotted away, showing bones beneath. As the tattered ashen remains of the robe it the floor, the smell of death and decay shot upward and surround you all. The non-wheezing corpse, upright, continues forward.
"If we leave, we should leave together,"Atal replies, taking aim. "Uthal... keep an eye out for Richter if you can, I have a bad feeling that he got caught up in this too." He lets the arrow fly.
Attack: 19 Damage: 7 Sneak Attack: 3
Afterwards, he ducks around the corner and moves forward as far as he can to peer into the next room.
With one of the shambling figures down, Anearis turned his attention to the one with the weezing problem. He delivered a spinning kick up in its jaw to make it lose its balance.
Attack: 19 Damage: 6
Using the same foot, he delivered another kick in the creature’s abdomen before attempting to jump back out of its range.
Bonus action: Attack: 24 Damage: 4
(After both attacks, Anearis moves back a couple feet. If the creature is still alive, I’m hoping to trigger its AoO)
Atal's arrow penetrates the still standing figure, and stops halfway in. This figure is still lit, but the flames are starting to die out. The figure's robes, slip away, tattered and turned to ash, revealing a similar corpse like appearance, for the individual beneath. The arrow Atal had just shot is visible from the front and back of the creature's thigh, and even holds some of the remains there. Anearis's kicks to the creature push it's stance with the force of his blows, but it never falters from remaining up right.
When Atal peers around the corner, back into the room in which Uthal's cell was held, he notices something at the far end, near the corner of the opposite corridor, from the one in which you're all fighting, there is movement. Movement of who or what, remains unknown.

Ander's attack slices through the creature's midsection, and the flesh rips with the sword, causing decaying bowels and innards to spill out on the ground. The corpse had additional rags, likely once some sort of shirt or sweater, upon his torso. As the sword rips the creature, it rips a string from the cloth, pulling it, and destroying the weezer's sweater.
The strentch of decay intensifying. While no blood ever spilled from these creatures, some sort of bodily fluid splashed out this time, some splattering on the tip of Ander's boot. The creature doubled over and hit the floor with a wet 'plop'.
Wheezer 16
Almost instantly though, as soon as the wheezing corpse-like being met the stone slab of the floor, he was right back up, climbing to his feet, and striking at Ander's being the closest target in range. Attack 4 Damage 7
Seeing his companions take another blow and emboldened by the fall of the one corpse Uthal decides to step back into the fray. He moves past the other two, using his large body to shield them if he can. He then hefts his recently returned hammer and swings it high and down over the creatures head.
Attack: 10 Damage: 5
