While everyone is talking and looking around, Aimee moves to the far side of the room from Kerri and takes a peek into the box she picked up from the table earlier.
(Ok it looks like Aimee already triggered the trap in a post I missed, the box is not on the table sorry guys)
As Aimee tries to skulk off into a corner, she feels the box thudding in her hand. It feels like something is trying to break out. Before she has a chance to open it, a tiny ball of light bursts from the box, phasing through the wood. It floats in front of Aimee's face for a second, casting an even brighter light through the room as it cackles with electricity.
Cico had almost settled into a trance when he heard Aimee mention that something was not a shadow. He popped and eyelid open and at the sight of the willow the wisp, rolls out of his lotus position and leaps up.
Edvord laughs at his brother's banter to the sword, "Magebane..? What sort of name is that... how could a mere sword be the bane of one as learned as I? Zauberjager is much more appropriate for one who is to be named by Aldrik... Sounds like a mythical hunter straight from the sort of tale they would tell in kinderkrippe! Could you get any more childish Aldrik?" It appears the man's demeanor is returning.
Edvord then lunges towards the will-o-wisp before disengaging towards the back of the room. The man passes Kerri a knowing look before yelling in Aimee's direction, "If we must touch things at least wait for the grownups to have a look... ruined a perfectly good ritual!"
Aldrik swings Zauberjager at the floating light. As the blade strikes through, a dark energy flows out of the wisp through the blade darkening the metal slightly.
The wisp is able to dart out of the way of Edvord's blade, vanishing into thin air as it does so.
Kerri, Cico, Aimee, Lyss are up. You can't see the enemy, but you know it hasn't been vanquished.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Kerri looks at Edvord, "Oh, really? Now you agree with me. That's so thoughtful of you. Its not like you couldnt have done so... oh, I dont know. Before all of this started! And don't get me started on calling the sword you took," she turns to Aldrik, "Slayer of Sorcerers."
While she yells, she scans the room looking for the wisp.
((Action: Ready Sacred Flame in case it comes back. DC 14 Dex Save or it takes 8 Radient Damage))
"Slayer of Sorcery, then? Since they have struck the ball of magic with such force, it has disappeared!" he shouts back to Kerri.
He whispers to the sword "The word's the same either way... if you like it. Otherwise I think you and I both count for 'Kerrizorn', angerer of Kerri..."
While everyone is talking and looking around, Aimee moves to the far side of the room from Kerri and takes a peek into the box she picked up from the table earlier.
Aimee, could you make a sleight of hand against Kerri's passive perception to remove the box from the table unseen please?
Edvord is still casting as Aimee does this, so results shall come later.

Lyss draws an arrow back, ready to shoot when it does violence to one of her friends.
"Hey! We don't have to fight! We've got a real cool tavern, it's gonna be a hit! You could be our night light!"

Cico closes his eyes and tries to sense where the wisp has gone.
He sweeps an open palm out fast and hard in one direction and then does the same with his other hand.
Action: Attack: 8 Damage: 7
Bonus: Attack: 16 Damage: 8
Aimee looks at how hostile everyone is towards the glowly ball and just shrugs and goes with it,
"So, bad not shadow glowy ball then? Okay!"
She readies a blast (at disadvantage just in case it pops up next to her):
Attack: 7 Damage: 13
((Wooo, double crits on disadvantage? Going into the weekend hot!))
Cico strikes make whipping sounds through the empty air.
The wisp reappears by the door, bobbing up and down at Lyss's suggestion before going to float through the door.
(Up to you guys if you're gonna release your readies, Lyss can if she likes as well, not counting the persuasion check as an action.)
