Simaal renters the building, and zips around as if climbing on walls (more flying trickery as part of move action and squinting) as he tries to reach rooftop but remain under rooftop cover (if looking from above and the side of the inn should not be seen, however the guy above would be in sight). He then squints at him again at the flying mage that he's trying to get within 30 feet and assaults his mind 18 Con vs 19, full or none. <<20 damage>> stupid roller will probably screw up because of update.
Seeing mage has moved farther than expected, Simaal takes a leap in the air and almost seems like he's going to reach him before he loses his balance, his javelin flying wildly missing the mage by a lot as he falls back to the tavern roof.

Mage Con save vs DC 19 : 6. (12 - fail, in case dice roller messes up)
Simaal vanishes inside the smoking building and then comes leaping out of a hole in the roof somehow...trailing smoke behind him....his eyes locked on the back of the flying wizard who is flinging fireballs. The wizard, his black tattoos crawling up his face, grimaces and shuts his eyes for a moment in brief pain as blood begins trickling from his nose, bright red against his pale complexion. He lifts a hand to his temple, then wipes the blood across his face as he looks around, spotting Simaal as he lands with a thud on the broken rooftop.
Meanwhile, the huge tarp partially covering a giant ape suddenly flutters to the ground as the giant ape vanishes, leaving two bodies under the smoking cover....one moving, one not. Nuzej finds himself under the smoking tattered tarp that's partially on fire. Kit Kat lays next to him. The world is an orangey brown color through the thick covering overtop of him.
Thyrius is up! (He takes 10 cold damage to start his turn.)
Thyrius blindly moves forward as he can, hopefully stepping out of the black void surrounding him. Taking a quick look around, he determined the most reachable of enemies is the one of the roof. He moves forward just as much as needed to get his target within reach and launches his own [spell]eldritch blasts;blasts[//spell].
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Thryius emerges from the cold darkness whispering behind him and looks up. The archmage floating 75 feet up is closer than he'd expected. He unleashed four blasts of magic. The mage reacts by throwing a magic force field up, two of the blasts deflecting past him. However two strike him and he cartwheels madly in the air as he's tossed back 20 feet. Even as the mage is twirling backwards, Thyrius is already moving with speed, his magical boots propelling him forward as he leaps over a fence fairly close to Toc and the others, and ducks down, vanishing from view of almost all opponents, except for the one flying undead far above that has a good angle on him.
The darkness around Xemnez vanishes, revealing the world to him once again.
One of the other undead flying creatures, still 200 feet in the air flies closer still, maintaining his height but getting himself directly over the group. His eyes sparkle as his hands reach down.
As he reaches his hands down, suddenly a large area all around the party fills with death. The weeds and moss in between the cobblestones shrivel and turn black. The skittering insects and few little bugs about drop out of the air. A few people still cowering in the area suddenly turn pale...their veins shooting full of black, their flesh drying up, and their eyes shriveling and going pitch white as they drop to the ground, their life force consumed.
Xemnez, Thryius, Toc, Nuzej, Zhuti, Kit-Kat and Kyriani- Con 20 Saving throw take 28 Necrotic damage, save for half.
Saves:
Kit Kat - 18. Kyriani - 12. Toc - 9
Meanwhile, one of the few enemies to have come stumbling out of the tavern, this one in half plate, strides purposely towards Xemnez. He pulls a shortbow off his shoulder and fires a several arrows towards Xemnez.
Attack on Xemnez: 6 Damage: 3
Attack on Xemnez: 11 Damage: 7
Attack on Xemnez: 20 Damage: 5. (If at least one hits: DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be blinded)
Meanwhile the other man pulls spears off his back and begins hurtling them at Xemnez....
Attack on Xemnez: 19 Damage: 12
Attack on Xemnez: 14 Damage: 9
Attack on Xemnez: 11 Damage: 10
Xemnez, Toc, Nuzej are all up. Toc gains : 18 temporary hps. Nuzej gains : 19 temporary hps.
Toc mentally shouts to everyone, "I need everyone linking hands....in a circle.... to get us out of here!"
He says over the link, “Toc I can teleport us out of here once Simaal is closer. That closer mage is distracted and can’t counter spells, so until we are near, we can try to remove him from the field.”
(Woukd Nuzej know what spell Toc is trying to cast that requires touch?)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
(Rerolling that 6 attack vs Xemnez, as he got the blindedness..... 15. )
There are limited teleportation spells, and only one that Nuzej knows of that requires holding hands in a circle. It seems Toc is thinking about Plane Shifting the party...
Toc responds to Nuzej mentally, "That would be excellent...." then adds to everyone,"Everyone get to within 10 feet of Nuzej! Simaal get over here before you miss your ride!"
Toc rushes out forty feet across the open street to Xemnez, and whispers, "Come on man, let's get out of here..." and grabs his wrist. Xemnez can't see, but he can feel the familiar twist of teleportation. He can hear he's still on the street....close to where he was, and much closer to the rest of the group, the clanking of the priestess armor is close, and he can hear the familiar grunts of Nuzej as he tries to clear himself from underneath a tarp.
Xemnez, Nuzej are up.
For Xemnez: Blind. The target is blinded for 1 minute. The blinded target can repeat the save at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Though a touch reluctant to trust, in the heat of the moment Xemnez had little choice but to after quick firing a reminder to Toc to grab his axe before whisking the duo elsewhere. The leonin staggered a little and nearly collapsed from the far more disorienting jaunt thanks to the blindness. Yet somehow he'd managed to keep his footing and notch another arrow. 'Brother. Falcon play.' He warns mentally, trusting his brother to remember understand an old tactic as he raised his bow to fire.
And with Thyrius guidance using the old hunting codes to help orient the shot, Xemnez growls out a quick word of warning to allies in the path before loosing shot after shot towards the archer's general direction. Amidst the attacks Xemnez calls out again for his brother, assuring him the time to move to be then and there with one foe at least distracted, so he might join in the huddle. The same he might've done for Simmal, but... 'Be swift and be careful. They'll seek you out next' Is what is telepathically conveyed instead.

Action:Ready to shoot once Blinded clears. (For sake of simplicity use 1st attack from above)
Xemnez, in the midst of most of the group looses calls out to his brother.....attempting to coordinate Thyrius' move to the party as he fires some distracting shots. Thyrius, from his angle calls out mentally, "Leeward..leeward..hold...heavens hold...now...". Those around Xemnez duck away as the golden warrior, sightless, fires three arrows in quick succession. Thyrius gets ready to bolt, but though the aim is true, the warrior that had been attacking Xemnez has heavy armor on. All three arrows clang off the steel, no more effective than insects buzzing about the warrior. The momentary distraction for Thyrius to rush to the group is gone in an instant as he hunkers down behind a bit of fencing.....
Nuzej's action!

Nuzej comes back to himself and is grateful not to be knocked flat by the tarp. He sees Kit Kat and realizes that they are not in a state to fight. Hearing Toc's voice in his head, he grabs Kit Kat and drags her out from under the tarp to the NE, where he knows at least some of the others are. He gets free and drags Kit Kat to right between Kyriani and the sword cleric. "Thank you,"he says aloud to her, feeling the protection of whatever she did to boost him after that death spell. "We are speaking telepathically. We need to leave, I can teleport us if I am hale."He looks at his wounds, then up at the mages aloft. He was a spell sniper but 200 feet was far even for him. "As I offered before, you are welcome. Until we can depart, this might foil their plans."
He gestures with his staff and a wall of force appears, invisible, 10 feet above the now even more clustered group. between 6 and 9, 10x10 foot panels, free-floating, centered on the group. If he can also add on between 1 and 4 panels to the NW to also protect against threats from that direction he will, but if he can't, then one 9x9 panel plus another one to protect against threats from the sky also works. The goal is to get up a barrier between the flying mages and the group, to mess with AoE spells, targeting spells, and physical attacks. Buying some time for the group to get clustered, before planning to teleport away. Once more, he speaks up verbally: "Destination, elsewhere in the city? Farther afield? Back to the inn's private room where they'd least expect? I can jump one more time after that."
Xemnez manages to clear his vision from the strange attack by the warrior, looking around to see the updated battlefield. He watches as Nuzej weaves a complex spell with expert motions and verbalizing ancient words of power. There's no immediate effect but he appears to relax just a bit as he finishes his spell.
One of the undead approaching suddenly plummets. He drops through the air over a hundred feet before slowing rapidly and coming to a station 100 feet up. Now that he's closer, his Lich nature is easy to see. The skeletal figure weaves its hands in a slow patient way, verbalizing some words, and then just holds onto the power, glaring at the group as if waiting for something to happen. The air around him sparkles with contained spell power and Xemnez sees a thread of magic come into reality, thrashing a bit, and then snap....its ruddy brown length waving lazily nearby.
Nuzej recognizes the weaving with ease....it's a Telekinesis spell....but the Lich is holding onto it for just the right moment, and he seems to have his glowing pinprick eyes focused directly on Nuzej and perhaps the belt pouch that he keeps checking protectively with a free hand.

Each of these blasts pushes the enemy back by 10ft. Thyrius keeps up as needed to maintain spell range for subsequent blasts.
