Bil-wolf continues to dig, feverishly scratching at the dirt, using his two front paws to push through as much earth as possible.
(OOC: It's a known bug that just popped up in the last 2-3 days, I'm assuming because the devs are rolling out the "My Dice" feature. They're working on it, but a fix is still TBD.)

Kendrick:
Since the first shadow fell from Kendrick’s attack, Great Weapon Master allows him to take another swing at an enemy within range as a bonus action, and since he has reach, the shadow behind is in range!
Dropping the first Shadow, Kendrick reacts quickly and thrusts at the one behind it. He strikes again after the shadow moves in closer and tries to claw at him again.

Great Weapon Master Bonus Attack: Attack: 7 Damage: 10
Attack From this Round: Attack: 9 Damage: 11
So, I forgot the +2 bonus from raging to damage, and when I went back to fix it, all the numbers changed. Let me try again:
Great Weapon Master Bonus Attack: Attack: 26 Damage: 18
Normal Attack From This Round: 15 Damage: 15

"Stupid dirt. Go away" he grumbles and swears inaudibly as he frantically tries to clear a path for everyone. "Ok Kendrick?"he checks in with the raging barbarian.

Tella continues keeping concentration on the lights. While doing this, she takes out her crossbow and fires at the nearest shadow --then goes back to concentrating making it seem like she didn't do it--

28 gallons of dirt remaining
Bilik - digs more dirt 8
Kendrick attacks doing 10 and 13 damage destroying the next shadow! (That's two down, but there is still shadows piled up down the corridor as far as you can see. It could be a dozen Unable to parse dice roll.s.)
Purbag hits the next shadow in the line doing 8 damage. HP=21 - 8 =

The next Shadow (that's 3 now) is vanquished. (can you hear the experience points racking up?) The next shadow attacks Kendrick. HP 19 Attack: 5 Damage: 14 vs AC 14 if hit, also reduce strength by 1
OOC: Does that shadow attack count as bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage? If so, the rage ability cuts the damage in half (but not the strength damage, I would expect).
With more and more shadows piling up and now having some of his vitality drained, Kendrick switches tactics and uses his action to Dodge the oncoming horde, while still plugging up their entry point. "Uh, anytime you get that door open would be great!" he calls to the others.
OOC: Dodge action to force shadows to take disadvantage on their attacks
Bilick the Wolf howls in frustration and continues digging. If they bust through the door this round, he will use his bonus action to drop the wolf form and urge the others through the open door.
His frantic digging continues. He lets out a guttural growl in frustration. "Stupid dirt. Stupid dirt. Leave. Kendrick need dirt gone. Everyone need dirt gone."
((If he succeeds in clearing all the dirt he will turn and grab the nearest companion, other than Bili-wolf, and then jump/run through the hole. ))
((@ Scott - it's necrotic damage so no damage reduction))
The remaining dirt has been cleared! Bilick drops his wolf form and ushers Purbag through the door. Osso grabs Tella and jumps through the hole. Kendrick, seeing everyone else is through, follows swiftly.
When everyone is on the other side, you turn to see where you came from is nothing but a black void.
You step off the crimson path into not a room, but a stretch of corridor 40 feet long and 20 feet wide. Once again, you are not alone. Two elves, a woman and a man, have just collided with each other. Both are Drendali, the woman with smooth, bone-white skin and hair and piercing violet eyes, and the man ancient, with skin like crinkled paper, rheumy eyes, and bloodless lips. The man gasps and stops in his tracks, blinking at the woman. “Maghiel? It’s been…” “So long, Elruen. So very long.” She sounds… warm. Pleased to see him. “The Battle of Gambedel’s Bridge,” he says. “The Bridge of Betrayal,” she speaks over him. “What are you doing here?” “Fixing some mistakes. Fixing everything. Hundreds of years of incompetence. I’ve found the Clasp.” “Mesos’ clasp…?” “**** Mesos. Mesos was a monster, like all the titans. Like all the gods — like that coward Madriel. I can do more with that clasp than Mesos could. I can bring order, finally...” The old elven man’s eyes widen, and he begins to shake his head. Before he has time to finish reacting, let alone respond, she takes hold of one of his shoulders. “I thought you’d be proud, old friend. But you’re not. I can’t have you tell anyone.” And with that, with her hand wreathed in red and black light in which the faintest suggestions of teeth snap and clench, she reaches directly into his ribcage…

Kendrick:
Still unsure what’s is going on, Kendrick can still taste the rage in the back of his throat. When the elf woman identifies herself as their quarry and reaches to kill the other elf, Kendrick leaps into action, trying to thrust his longspear into her in a reckless attack!

Bilick whispers to the barbarian "Oh Gods, no, lad! What are ye..." he looks on as Kendrick launches the spear. He sighs and grits his teeth, squenching his eyes shut tight as he summons an Ice Knife and with a flick of the wrist sends the projectile spiraling towards the woman.
Attack: 13 Damage: 5
Regardless of the hit, all living creatures where it hits will need to make a DC13 Dex saving throw or take 4 cold damage from the shattering ice.

Purbag loads another bolt and shoots at the remaining shadow (still has half cover).

"Okay so far, Osso," Kendrick calls back to his friend as he keeps fighting the shadowy figures.
