Telvir grits his teeth as he is forced to bow for the spellcaster. He pays surly tribute 3 times. Smoke bows with his nose in his paws.
Aily gives a long low curtsey, one she only gives to a certain blood lord. After two seconds, she stills, radiating FURY. Which she tries to vent by stabbing the creature again.

"Whoa, boss, you really are great!" Humerus says, bowing.
Ghiasi resists some of Caraid's spirit song while the construct is immune to it. The shae avoids Aily's attacks as she swiftly steps away and unleashes a mental assault of endless confusing images.
The construct continues to wail on Aily, though her dodge turns what would have been a critical hit into a normal one.
Telivr finishes paying tribute to the shae and shakes off the remains of the spell, though Smoke is still enthralled.

Humerus continues to bow.
Aily goes down in a heap of skirts and blood.
Caraid stops, confused. Someone just hit Aily, but he didn't see who. So he fires off his usual attack spell.
Saved from full undeath by her blood lord, Aily sends her blade dashing into the shade
Aily steps up to Ghiasi to follow her, but the shade reacts by disappearing into the shadows and teleporting behind Humerus. Flustered, the rogue attacks the construct instead, scoring a hit and weakening hit.
Ghiasi reaches out to tap Humerus atop the head as she casts a spell. "Them bones, them bones, gonna dance around!" she laughs as she tries to force Humerus into an uncontrollable dance. She then dashes 30 feet away.
The construct bashes Aily again, but she dodges enough to turn a critical hit into a normal one.
Aily is barely standing, her body battered and bloody, but she keeps stabbing in hopes to end this construct as soon as possible.
Caraid shakes off the fog that clouded his senses and infuses Aily with as much energy as he can.
Healed slightly, Smoke retreats to a corner of the demiplane.
head aching from over-exeresion, Telvir summons a ghost from the wilds of Geb to fight with the incorporeal foe.

"Whee," Humurus exclaims as he boogies over to Caraid, "look at me, boss! I'm dancing!"
He punches the oracle. "That's for Mithralline, blood boss!"
You are off-guard, you don't treat anyone as your ally (though they might still treat you as theirs), and you can't Delay, Ready, or use reactions.
You use all your actions to Strike or cast offensive cantrips, though the GM can have you use other actions to facilitate attack, such as draw a weapon, move so target is in reach, and so forth. Your targets are determined randomly by the GM. If you have no other viable targets, you target yourself, automatically hitting but not scoring a critical hit. If it's impossible for you to attack or cast spells, you babble incoherently, wasting your actions.
Each time you take damage from an attack or spell, you can attempt a DC 11 flat check to recover from your confusion and end the condition.
Caraid heals Aily moments before a confused skeleton dances up to him and punches him twice. Aily moves to pursue Ghiasi, stabbing her once, then again as Telvir's conjured bhuta bites the shae from behind.
"Ouch! Alright, I've seen enough. Stand down!" Ghiasi commands the construct. She raises her hands in surrender.
"Yes, you are exactly as powerful as I had hoped. You’ll have to forgive this diva’s theatricality. I have no wish to die today, and I believe I know what you are here for. Please, let us talk about my little operation, the source of the shadow ash, and my knowledge of the blood lord behind its production."
Telvir is tempted to let the bhuta feast, but the information the shae offers is intruiging.
"We don't appreciate being meddled with," the spellcaster states, plainly. "And you should do your research before initiating such a reckless confrontation. Still: We are here to investigate the shadow ash. Tell us what you know."
