The summoned entity beats its wings and strikes furiously.
The newly summoned eagle attacks thrice and hits each time, as it shreds the draugr (D3).
D2 attempts to rise, which will provoke from the eagle:
hit!
success!
This leaves D2 between Malleck and the Eagle.
D2 attacks Malleck.
hit (narrowly avoiding a critical)
D4 moves up behind the eagle, and is flanking with D2.

Both Malleck and the Eagle need to make fort saves or be nauseated for 1 round. DC 12.

So, initially, looking down the hall, we’d have had:
Shade-D1-D2-D3-D4 in a row, with Shade just inside your room. Let’s call those squares A-B-C-D-E
D1 and D2 got greased and fell in squares B and C respectively. Malleck was presumably standing next to Shade inside the room, as he made an attack against D1.
Shade failed a Fort save after getting injured, and Vosil dismissed him.
Malleck stepped into square A.
D1 attempted to stand, and Malleck AOO’d it, so square B was empty.
D2 attempted to stand but failed.
D3 came through and was in square B. This meant the hallway was:
Malleck-D3-D2(prone)-D4 (as he stepped up), in A-B-C-D respectively
Vosil summoned the eagle into square C (behind D3, and on top of the prone D2)
The eagle finished off D3
D2 attempted to rise, but mind you is in square C, so too far from Malleck for him to AOO. However D2 and the eagle can’t cohabit square C, so I pushed him to square B, and then D4 moved up to square D.
That leaves us where we are with:
Malleck-D2-Eagle-D4 in the hallway.
So no AOO from Malleck, but using those rolls, his attack in this round hits and does 13 damage to D2!

D2 - 14 DMG

The eagle disappears in a splatter of inky shadows as the thing's greataxe connects with it, so Vosil summons another one.
The shadow creature screams as it dive-bombs the next undead monstrosity.
The newly summoned eagle tears into D2 with both beak and claw, and since the creature drops after the first claw attack, the eagle turns and strikes D4 with the final claw attack.
This leaves only D4 still standing, and D4 is in the first space in the next room.

No effective options open to Taeral, so he continues to watch the battle with the Timely Inspiration spell in reserve.

No effective options open to Taeral, so he continues to watch the battle with the Timely Inspiration spell in reserve.
Seeing little need to take part in the fight personally, Mordecai casts Asmodeus' blessing on Gertart this time.
If Solomon can lob a grenade into the next room, then that's certainly his course of action. If not, however, then he's a bit limited by the bottleneck.
Gertrart attempts to put a blade into the remaining dead thing.
Solomon misses, but splashes it, however the creature takes no damage.
Gertrart is unable to reach the creature as it is down the hall.
Top of round 4 then?
Round 4

Xeram tries again.
Taeral attempt to aid Malleck in hitting the creature from around the corner.
----------------------------------------
On Going Effects: Message (Gertrart, Xeram, Taeral), 20 min; Con Damage -2;
The summoned shadow eagle continues to take the fight to the undead beastie.
"Maybe this will help." Gertrart offers a prayer to Mitan and asks for blessings on Malleck.
D4 swings at the eagle
If that hits, the eagle needs a fort save.
If it can still Attack, the eagle does 5 more damage to D4. If the eagle dropped, then D4 would advance, and possibly fall prone, so let me know.
D1 - 28 DMG
D2 - 21 DMG
D3 - 20 DMG
D4 - 9 DMG
It does hit; the eagle explodes in a shower of shadow and smoke.
Vosil shrugs, nonchalantly but expressively. Eh, so minions come, minions go. What can you do? Aloud, he says only "You want I should summon another? Or can you handle this last one?"
"I'll be fine" the dhampire grins
+4 if prone
Ok so D4 needed to come up the hall...
And it successfully gets up to Malleck!
Instead of 5 damage from the eagle, it gets 8 from Malleck.
Party is up, except Malleck.
D1 - 28 DMG

Xeram isn't showing it, but inside he's swearing more than a shipload of sailors could ever perform together.
.
"It's no good, they are stronger than even Mitran," the false profit & counterfeit mage continues to bluff.
Timothy is in awe of you all!
"Yes! Uh.. Let Mitra guide your hands!" Mordecai claims, and keeps Guiding Malleck's blows.

Once more Taeral attempts to aid Malleck to hit the creature.
D4 swings at tMalleck
If that hits, Malleck needs a fort save.
Party is up again!
It goes slightly better, but not quite as desired.
Xeram successfully hits the creature, doing full damage!
D1 - 28 DMG
D2 - 21 DMG

D4 - 14 DMG
And with that strike by Malleck the last Draugr falls to the ground and Timothy claps his hands excitedly, "An excellent battle my saviors, Mitra be praised! A victory against the evils of this place!"
He gripped his sword... one more word.. one more. And i gut this boy...
"Yes... praise... and all that... come on. Lets go"

This square stone chamber is lit by a small oil lantern that hangs from the center ceiling. It has eight battered wooden coffins that are encrusted with salt brine, barnacles and dried sea weed. Four of these coffins contain only a corpse of a drowned sailor. Four of the coffins instead held the draugr, a dead sailor arisen from his sea grave through necromantic magic.
You come in from the door on the eastern wall. Directly opposite the room, on the west wall is another door.
None of the draugr's waterlogged and used equipment is worth saving.
Dutifully searching the north wall and the south walls, Gertart says,
"You know. Because: precedence."
"Did anyone actually grab that pendant?" Solomon squeaks from the shadows of the hallway behind the group. Save a single tossed explosive, he had been fairly absent from the previous conflict.
"While you guys were clearing the path, I was going over young Timothy's wisdom: what he had overheard of this cavern. And this should be near the end of it, no? If that's the case, and given that the foolishness spoken of in the last room was likely taking the other exit rather than continuing on to here, then perhaps we ought to grab that medallion after all."
If indeed no one has acquired it, Solomon will scurry back almost on all fours despite his current 'human' appearance to retrieve it.
"You are quite right, Timeon;" Vosil beams at the lad, ignoring his dhampir companion's smouldering temper. "As it is written, 'The just shall be revealed by their might.' We are mighty, and so we are just, you see? You were quite right to trust us. You're clearly a perceptive young man."
Flattery, false teaching, friendliness; it all comes so naturally to Vosil.
The fetchling's head turns in some amusement as Solomon speaks. "I wouldn't. It's unlikely to be the real one - it's more likely a snare set to eliminate the stupid! Do yourself a favour, read the sign on the wall again."
To prove the point, he summons another shadow eagle and sends it to fetch the pendant. "Watch closely, now."
Solomon heeds Vosil's advice!
"Yes, yes... praise Mitra.." Mordecai tries to keep up the act, watching the pendant-fetching with great interest.
The summoned eagle has no difficulty in retrieving the dragon pendant from the podium.
Solomon tries to examine the pendant, though he intentionally keeps from touching it.
By the arcane i'm no going to say such a stupid thing.
