Something about that undead Knight just makes Chen go weak in the knees. Roaring again in frustration and embarrassment, Chen grabs a handmade from his belt and throws it at the Knight before moving away to hide the horrible creature from his view.

The darkness Fianna doesn't worry about, the demons surrounding her she does. She looks to Toc and whispers out "I'm sorry." She had tried to get them out of here but despite that amazing bright light that enveloped everything and washed away the poison and the malicious sphere, they were still trapped here - Adlas having dispelled their escape.
She does what she can to dodge the demon attack but still it strikes her. She's almost done for, she's not good at the physical combat and she is running out of other options. One last apologetic look to Toc and, as the demon is swinging at her a second time, she is gone before he can connect... ((Class feature Misty Escape - Once per short rest, when you take damage, you can use your reaction to turn invisible and teleport up to 60 ft. to an unoccupied space you can see. You remain invisible until the start of your next turn or until you attack or cast a spell.))
Fianna reappears right next to Chen at the doorway in the Library. She see through the doors into the sarcophagus room and all but hisses in anger and impossible choices... She may not get an opportunity like this again with them all bunched together. On the bight side, she is pretty sure Toc is blinded and wouldn't know it was her... On the flip side, Toc might not know it was her because he might not survive. But if it works... well, if it works we'll be alive and hopefully able to revive him....
Hopefully...
And with that, Fianna mentally reaches out to her Patron and ever so gently touches the power that grants her this access. Fianna's hair seems to blow in an invisible breeze for a moment, her eyes seem to flash, and the scent of cinnamon fills the room for a breath... Fianna lets some black powder fall from between her fingers as she quickly makes a first and says "Scrios mo naimhde i ndorn an bháis!"
A sixty foot sphere which entire envelopes the sarcophagus room but whose edge ends right in front of Chen and Fianna is suddenly more real than real for a moment, as if everything within it was highlighted - super defined. But that effect is so brief that one cannot truly say it ever really happened for immediately it all grows dimmer, darker, drained of light and life and luster... The Circle of Death ripples with negative energy and then it too vanishes.
((Each creature in that area must make a Constitution saving throw. A target takes 27 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.))
Fianna then moves up, past the doors, and next to the bookcase, not wanting to see the destruction she caused...
((My bad, mistyped in the damage roll. Should have been 8d6, not 6d6. Here is two more d6 if you want to add to first roll: 7 Or here is one full roll if you prefer that: 31 ))
Aldlas : 21 (17 damage w/resistance to necrotic, 8 damage)
Knight : 6 (17 damage w/resistance to necrotic, 8 damage)
D2 : 11 D3: 16 D4: 15
The dark energy ripples through the room. One of the bug creatures instantly turns black and shrivels, dropping to the ground. Another seems to crackle from the inside and drops to the ground. The last seems intact. The magic seems to wash across the Toc and he grunts in pain, while both the undead seem barely affected by her spell.
As Chen backs away to near Sebastion, he feels the ridiculous fear melt away, his anger reasserting itself.
Sebastion charges past Chen, his blade out, and leaps around the corner, seeing the Knight. The Knight holds his glaive ready to strike should Sebastion charge...though Sebastion judges he won't be able to reach the Knight and strike him immediately. (Do you move to the Knight and take an AoO, or hold back, or...make a ranged attack?)

Sebastion charges up to the knight. (upon reading BlueBayou's link I see he does NOT get an AoO when you approach, only when you leave, as you mentioned in the chat).
Sebastion, the only one with eyes on the undead wizard, sees him weaving his hands and hears him muttering words of power, but nothing immediately obvious occurs.
Then Sebastion sees Toc come running out of the darkness on the south side of the crypt room. As soon as he emerges, his eyes dart around looking for the wizard, whom he spots and starts rushing towards, but before he can get closer he slams into an invisible barrier with a hollow thud...his hand holding his blade goes up before him and slams at the air where the invisible wall seems to be.

"Gods do not interfere with mortal's affairs," seriously answered Mirica to Jahren. "When they do - it means the matter is of their concern too. Our presence here is the god's will, we have to do all we can." Lathander heard her and his will was clear, so was her then.
Of course the main target was the wizard, but his knight had to be destroyed too. Though before she tried to strike him down, she summoned the spirit to aid Toc who had to deal with several attackers at once.
BA: Healing Spirit at Toc's location for 9 (there will be 6 charges. Eventually)
"Perhaps their concern was to be sure we could flee... Did they say precisely what they wanted? The damned Fey never do..." Fianna said, being a bit contrary due to her worry about the situation they were in. "Never are they like 'Hey, go here and do this. Nononono... it's all hey look, a mystical chessboard, this piece is moved and HEY! you wake up and here's someone with a shield that looks like the piece. They can all go for a fig, ya ask me!"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Mirica comes running around the corner. She charges the dark knight as she casts her spell to help Toc. The spirit springs into being near Toc, whom she sees just outside of a sphere of darkness though something is strange about him, standing and not moving, looking around confused. No time to lose though she rushes the Knight and *whaaam* she slams into some invisible force between herself and the dark knight. It would seem Sebastion is inside this invisible wall and she can't get to him.
The demon behind Toc begins attacking Toc, staying just inside the darkness as he attacks the confused elf from behind. Attack: 26 Damage: 8 Attack: 21 Damage: 8. Toc reflexively casts a shield spell which blocks the demons attack.

Jahren casts his Dispel Magic at the invisible wall, his luck coming into play. Nothing happens.
The knight standing in front of Sebastion moves about, facing the warrior down....the holy warrior, and the unholy warrior face each other...the undead one speaks in poor common, "I shall make your light go out for good.....paladin." He practically spits the word as he advances with his glaive. Thunderous energy seems to fill his glaive as he swings it. (Thunderous Smite for +5 damage on first blow to hit.)
Attack: 25 Damage: 5
Attack: 18 Damage: 5
Attack: 9 Damage: 6
(since the only hit was also a critical hit, thunderous smite does the above damage PLUS 8 (total of 39 damage from one blow) more damage...and make a DC 13 Strength save or be knocked prone, though you don't get knocked back, instead slamming backwards against a wall of force at your back...)
Fianna, Chen, Sebastion, your turns. Sebastion is the only person INSIDE the Wall of Force.
Chen had barely made it back to Sebastian's position when the paladin charged off in the opposite direction. Having overcome his moment of terror, Chen returned to the battle find Mirica standing there just watching Sebastian fighting the evil knight. He tries to join the fight...
Unless Fianna has some tricks up her sleeve, then Chen will be waiting here. Can I do a Ready action to include a Move and Attack for if the wall somehow disappears?

How does a red dragon blow out the candles on its birthday cake?
Sebastion swings his own blade, thunderous energy encasing his sword as he swings. The first blow is deflected by the dark knight, but the second hits, sending a puff of undead bits flying and rending a hole in the armor.
Strength Save: 19. The knight stumbles back, but stays on his feet, he glaive whipping about.
Chen meanwhile comes rushing around the corner and slams into the wall. Taking a step back, he places his axe tip against the wall. The moment it's gone he'll be back in the battle.....
Fianna has no tricks up her sleeve or anywhere else. To the best of her knowledge anything she attempts will just fizzle out at the invisible wall and she doesn’t have enough spells left to waste. Best use she can think of for her time while she waits for the spell to end on its own is to at least get her heal on... as such she pulls out and drinks a Potion of Healing and regains 10 hit points.
Fianna will move next to Chen and pull out and hand him a vial of poison. “Coat your ace with this, my friend. Any little bit may be the difference,” she says. (If pulling out a vial and handing to someone can be done as a bonus action. I assume pulling out and coating weapon is too much for a BA.) Fianna will also call out to Toc describing exactly where the demon enemy is as best she can, and what he’s doing. ((Example: Toc, he’s about three feet forward and nine inches to your left! Duck!! And so on. She’ll spend her inspiration trying to help Toc in this way if it’ll help him at all.))
Unlike the flickering wall of light that kept the party at bay, this one lets them all watch as their enemies attack their allies.
The undead ancient wizard turns slowly, a harsh grin across his bony torn flesh face, and faces Sebastion. With almost no effort the wizard holds his hand aloft and seven balls of force fly out and unerringly strike Sebastion.
The blasts strike Sebastion in quick succession slamming into his body.
Toc looks back at the darkness, with demon claws lashing out at him, and then directs his attention to Aldlas. Toc mutters a quick spell and then appears next to the wizard inside the wall of force. Aldlas turns, hissing in surprise. Toc's blade alights with green flame as he attacks.
Attack: 31 Damage: 8 + 2 fire damage. Attack: 28 Damage: 15. The fire leaping towards the knight for 18 fire damage. (I keep forgetting if you cast green flame blade you only get one attack, not your full attack..so..no flame, but two attacks.)
The undead wizard takes the first blow with a shriek, but then the second blade swings forward. As the blade closes, the undead wizard shouts, "Quaryl Tellasarim!! Nooo!" then Toc's blade strikes his head, the magical rapier embedding itself in his skull, as his undead body drops to the ground. The strange rod falling from his hands and landing on the ground with a hollow thud.
Fianna, while trying to help feels an overwhelming pressure in her mind, and drops to her knees. The damned Fey swirls in her head and she sees the chess board once again, laid out on the table....though the table looks like a map of Cormanthor. The queen faces down a knight and a rook, the knight sliding forward and striking the queen down. The piece falls in slow motion. Another of the enemies pieces, the knight, appears trapped and likely to fall next. The king though is still protected behind a line of pawns. And then there is the player. The thing playing the board. Fianna glances up at the dark shimmering force that suddenly seems as if it's looking down at her....planning her demise...he...for he was a he.... appears to her only as a shadow...a shadow wearing a crown....and it looks down upon her grinning.
She shakes the vision free, the world around her returning, battle still raging.
The invisible shield Chen rests his axe on ceases to exist.
Chen, you can make your held attack. Jahren, Mirica, your actions.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Riding the highs and lows of the battle with the rest of the part, Jahren once again smiles widely as Adlas falls and his wall of force along with him. Focusing his attention on the undead knight, the bard casts Dissonant Whispers once again, hoping to force the knight to let his guard down with Sebastian, Toc and Chen ready to take advantage while the bard assaults their foe's mind.
