One of Sylnora's attacks goes straight through the stone, and you see the creature shake violently in reaction to it. An extra pair of footsteps come down the hall, and you see one of the robed figures who had escaped earlier return now. The man takes a second to survey the field - and noticing the earthen hand grasping the unconscious woman, his eyes turn to Syl with hatred.
He lifts a hand and whispers arcane words, casting a spell at the young wizard.

Silthras gasps and looks to the left as flames engulf both himself and Usul. Fear is rapidly replaced by relief when the young gnome seems to survive the maelstrom no more damaged than himself, despite facing its full force.
Anger boiling over, he strides forward to end the life of the priestess only to see Kal also badly burned and the priestess – if that is what she is – lying unconscious. To gain sustenance from her death is deeply appealing, but his eyes are drawn to the greater and more immediate threat: the stone monstrosity facing Kal.
Leaving the earthen hand to continue holding the priestess, he focuses instead on the giant. A single word summons more balls of the intertwined purple and black strands of energy which he throws at the creature before once more retreating to cover.

The blasts of energy send stone showering over the room as the impact, breaking off pieces of the creature in chunks. Rivers of blood begin to flow out from it, oozing to the floor. Enraged, it turns to the first creature to wound it, slashing down at Kal twice with its curved stone claws.

Usul's bolt pierces through the stone, taking another hole out of it. It has some pieces missing out of it here and there now, but it still looks to be standing strong.

As he starts to feel the pain from his wounds, Kal takes a moment to heal, placing a radiant hand on his chest to repair some of the damage that's been done.
Given the power the mage had shown earlier, Loghain was legitimately surprised they seemed to be winning this fight so handedly. At minimum, this was proof for him that this group of people were extremely capable. He raises his bow once more, releasing two arrows. One for the stone creature, and one for the other cultist hiding behind it.
((Sylnora will still have 20 feet of movement if you want to use it. I assumed she misty steps two spaces to the left of the unconscious woman, then runs to the left 10 feet. Also I had to drop the numbered grid 'cause switching to full map.))
Syl vanishes in a puff of mist, reappearing a little over ten feet away. She runs into the room, and finds it empty of anyone else.

Velyra disengages, sliding around the outskirts of the stone construct to follow their wizard. "Syl, get back here dammit!" She calls out, remembering all too well what happened the last time she went ahead. When she catches up to her, she puts her hand out with a healing light, casting Healing Word.

Silthras hears Syl's call and once more moves to catch sight of the massive creature, again summoning bolts of arcane energy to throw at it.
Seeing the creature now sporting some kind of shield, and half the people no longer in the room, he moves into the room and calls out 'What in all the hells is going on?"
The first arcane bolt deflects off shifting red energies around the construct while the second blasts through, staggering it briefly. It turns its eyeless gaze towards Silthras, then swings down at Kal again with both claws.
The knight's sword comes up, deflecting the first clawed attack - and the second rends through his side, tearing through a gap in his armor to draw blood.

I'm assuming he can see the cultist man. If not, he shoots the big scary thing twice.
The warrior's accuracy seems to falter in this moment - both of his attacks fly wide.
