Arbon, having tied off the rope, searches the room for the entity that he felt. He looks into the darkest corners, to each of the statues and everywhere in between trying to find whatever it was that touched his shoulder (Perception: 25).
Onyx hears Chazrael yelling for him and immediately knows the direction he needs to go. Chazrael sees him coming back, and continues to wail about.
Up top, Arbon looks about determined to find his stalker.
After checking each of the statues, he finally looks at to the dog. Directly in front of it, an abnormal shade creature in the shape of a man looks at him as it slides into the fog.
Below the thick clouds, Grahl hears something close in.
Something moves around you, its in the very air you breath. Its finally closed the circle about you and you can feel its icy touch on your skin. Several times it reached out and you managed to shrug it off, but several times it pulled or pushed you a foot or two in the direction it felt like. Now you feel its coming, but from everywhere and nowhere. The panic sets in, and you land on your face.
Something pulls you by the ankles at great speed, and you are once again lost deep within the fog.
But this place is different, there is something else here too, something with a much larger physical presence.
The fog clears around you in a 5 foot circle, and your vision reveals a fleshy floor made of thousands of crushed body parts, some armored and some not. Floating above them in the fog outside your 5 foot reprieve are a pair of pitch black eyes that constrast with the heavy grey mist.
"Chazrael?" yelled Onyx as he headed in that direction. "Did you climb down here after us? I think I heard Grahl, but couldn't find him! I'm coming your way, though!"
Seeing the floor is made of body parts Grahl quickly tries to get to his feet. Once he sees the floating eyes his panic turns to anger shouting Demon not take Grahl ! Stepping forward to do an overhand swing of his axe, unsure if it is real he swings his axe down. If there is nothing to hit he will make sure he follows his swing through to hit the floor of body parts to make a display of the strenght in his attack to discourage any foe to come after Grahl.
Action: Regular Attack: 18 Damage: 15 aiming for the floating eyes
"Alright," said Onyx, breathing a sigh of relief as he got close enough to Chazrael to be confident it was him, but without crowding him.
He looked back in frustration, thinking. Chazrael's descent was risky, but just what they needed--they now had a way back up. But Grahl was still out there, somewhere, in the mist!
"I can't find Grahl through this fog," began the warlock, "And I think it's distorting our communication. He may not even be able to hear us. Any ideas on how to get him over here? I figured if he ran across a rope, he'd just try to climb, but...."
A shimmering bright light fills the area where the Shadow figure was sliding down from above, as it sinks below, Arbon sees it distort and shriek in pain but only for a second till it vanishes.
Deep inside, Grahl takes a swing at the floating creature and it hits, cleaving out a bloody cavity in something that drops to its knees.
An elf warrior drops from the sky into the floor. Its blood pool is black, and draining faster than normal. The face rots off into skeleton within seconds and it joins the floor.
Grahl will narrow his eyes at the dead elf as it rapidly turns. Feeling content he has taken down this creature he starts moving towards the wall.
He will look around and up to see if the wall looks climbable. He will place his axe on his back and try to see if he can get a hold of something to climb up.
Action: check if there is something to hold on to (perception 6)
Both Grahl and Onyx lift themselves hand over hand to the top out of the depths of that foggy hell. Onyx reaches the top and sees Arbon's hands lower from casting his spell at the demon. Seconds after, Grahl crawled from the wall breathless, flopping over like a trout on dry land. The climb seemed to last longer than necessary, and several times during it he felt the sting and bite of small insects he couldn't slap away.
(Onyx & Arbon are on top near the Goat, Chazrael is below near the Goat, and Grahl is on top near the Dog on the other side of the bridge.)

Chazrael sees Onyx stumbling out, him incorrectly determing where Grahl might have been. If Chazrael can yell loud enough, Onyx is sure to hear it.

Onyx continues stumbling in whatever direction he thinks is best, sensitive to anything making sounds

Chazrael Survival - 6
Chazrael will shout," Onyx, over this way. Follow my voice!"
I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.

(DM question - upon seeing the figure, would Arbon have enough time to let off a Sacred Flame? If so, Dex Save DC 13 or 3 radiant damage.)
"Chazrael?" yelled Onyx as he headed in that direction. "Did you climb down here after us? I think I heard Grahl, but couldn't find him! I'm coming your way, though!"

"I did climb down for you. Probably not the wisest option, but I'm standing next to the rope to get us back up."
I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.

He didn't mention his botched rescue operation.

Chazrael stares into the mist. "I could search for him if that could work. You could climb up the rope and meet Arbon at the top."
I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.

An elf warrior drops from the sky into the floor. Its blood pool is black, and draining faster than normal. The face rots off into skeleton within seconds and it joins the floor.
Grahl can see a wall in front of him.
Onyx nodded. "I'll climb up and let Arbon know we're safe, but then I'm coming right back down to help direct you back to the rope!"
With that, he began climbing.

Chazrael is going to begin walking toward the mist. "Grahl, where are you?"
I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
Grahl will narrow his eyes at the dead elf as it rapidly turns. Feeling content he has taken down this creature he starts moving towards the wall.
He will look around and up to see if the wall looks climbable. He will place his axe on his back and try to see if he can get a hold of something to climb up.
There are enough outcroppings of rocks and such that the climb up would be annoying at worst, but it may be scaled by hand it need be.
Fortunately for Onyx, he has a rope. Unfortunately for Grahl, he does not.
(Grahl & Onyx strength roll, Onyx has advantage)
Chazrael foolishly wanders alone into the mists.
