Blossom growls and approaches, striking the monster several times in whatever area he feels it is best supported by vines and roots, so as not to free it.
Luther draws his bow, dark tendrils snaking around the arrow's shaft. He lines up his shot, then shouts "Kee-ah-ree!" as he fires.
Longbow Attack: 20 Damage: 10 piercing
If the arrow hits, Luther will use Shadow Arrow - the undead takes 4 psychic damage and must pass a DC12 WIS save or be unable to see anything farther than 5ft away until the start of Luther's next turn.
Luther sees his arrow strike the monstrous undead creature and the tendrils of shadow wrap around its head. It is the first time that he has seen the effect, an arcane conjuration that he has been researching for so long. He hopes that obscuring the creature's sight will give his companions an edge in the fight, and considers whether to try a different enchantment next or simply pepper the monster with more arrows.
Zephyra bites deep into the undead, causing the vines to twirl and lash out. They try to grab Luther (attack roll: 15) and successfully pull him forward next to the giant undead.

If Thariv has dropped the Monstrous Undead to 0 hit points AND it has undead fortitude, Ufeza will cast Viscious Mockery as an action. Wisdom save DC 14 or take 2 psychic damage and have disadvantage on the next attack roll it makes before the end of its next turn. Ufeza will then use a bonus action for Unsettling Words. The creature will subtract 5 from its next saving throw before the start of my next turn.
If the Monstrous Undead remains above 0 hit points, Ufeza will reload and fire his light crossbow: Attack: 17 Damage: 5
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Thariv's blast hits the undead (undead fortitude roll: 16) and it collapses motionless onto itself.
Ufeza quickly aims his crossbow at the tangle of vines coming at them and fires, making it flail as a bolt embedds on it. Zephyra takes advantage of the situation and bites deeply into it.
