Erika looks at the specter in front of her She keeps her shield raised, axe up, and speaks. "You foul shade! You are less scary than a child in a bed sheet!"
Vicious Mockery DC 15 Wisdom Save 3, specter has advantage from wild magic, if it fails it will have disadvantage on its attack.

Erika moves, shifting around the specter to get closer to where Vanya is down without provoking an attack. She shouts, "Vanya, your gifts are needed! UP!"

OOC: What's the reach of the tentacle?
Horror 2 takes the damage of one eldritch blast. Releasing her magic Trixi sees illusory butterflies and flower petals spin in the air around her in a torrent as a 10-foot radius for 1 minute causing disadvantage on skills or actions requiring sight obscuring the darken battle field.
OOC: Specters first then Gen-ga so Dolan gets hus attack.
2) Gen-ga sees Dolan now the spectral dwarf floating nearby as the specter of the gnome attacks Erika. Gen-ga uses their maul now glowing with radiant energy now casting radiant light on a 30ft radius BA then attacks at the specter of Dolan!
Attack 1 maul: 12 w/ ad 7 Damage: 15; radiant damage 12:); destroying Dolan's specter! It blows away like dust...
1) The specters attack Gen-ga and Erika
Attack against Gen-ga: 9 Damage: 12 The target must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or its hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the damage taken. This reduction lasts until the creature finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0.
Attack against Erika: 5 w/ da cuz vicious mockery 19Damage: 14 The target must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or its hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the damage taken.

(How far? The tentacle was by the corpse of Garth, Trixi could move it 30ft further + 10ft reach. I thought if they are going to join on round 3 they were close enough, but if not - sure, move to Erica)
Do you need a separate Wild Magic roll for moving tentacle?)

(OOC As the light from Ragnar's shield only gives 20' bright light and then 20' dim light, will assume he can't see the Flying Horrors).
Shadows flick about just at the edge of the light given off by his shield. Ragnar can't worry about those just yet. He focuses on the undead specter attacking Erika. He raises his battle axe, Drake Cleaver, and with a bellow, slashes down with all the strength he can muster.
Even as Drake Cleaver slashes through the air at the gnome sized specter near Erika, Ragnar is focusing on a spot behind the specter. He shouts "Sprithammare," in Ygdridian, and a large warhammer appears in the air behind the specter, it's substance eerily similar to that of the specter. Just as it appears it slams down on the specter.
Bonus Action: Casts Spiritual Weapon and it attacks. Attack: 21 Damage: 12 force damage.
Wild Magic Roll - High: 98
(OOC - if the specter was killed by the battle axe attack, and it looks like Trixi's tentacle attack, Ragnar would make the spiritual weapon appear near the specter attacking Gen-ga and attack there)
OOC: Spiritual weapon is divine magic. No need to roll.
Ragnar obliterates the gnome specter.
OOC: Only PCs with dark vision can see the horrors above; they can be be heard however but those without dark vision would attack with disadvantage.

WM check: low 25
Trixi stepped forward, very annoyed - insects normally did not bother her here (colder blood and skin do help), and the cloud of butterflies was incredibly irritating! - and tried to see something through them to actually attack something ((both with disadvantage but one with Inspiration)).
Attacks on the visible foe - preferably all on one (to kill it) but if it got killed after initial attack - the next target.
OOC: Each attack is at disadvantage Trixi. You need to roll it for both but the first especially, eldritch attacks. The 2nd failed.
Horror 2 Let's out an ear-splitting shriek moving down 30ft over the party. Erika, Ragnar, Ted, and Gen-ga succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of it for 1 minute. The frightened creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the horror’s Frightening Screech for the next 24 hours.
Horror 3 lets out an ear-splitting shriek moving over the dome 30ft above it. Trixi and Zira succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of it for 1 minute. The frightened creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the horror’s Frightening Screech for the next 24 hours.

Ted grabs Gen-ga’s shoulder. As they lock eye’s he points up, “There’s more!“
Gesturing toward the cloud of butterflies, he blurts his words out in a slurry. “Get into there, they’ll struggle to see you. I’ll hold them off.”
