With a roar of cinders pouring out its top, the creature sends another gout of flame washing over the swordmage, but no further harm is done.
Free action when enemy is reduced to zero. But it missed.
It then moves away to capture more enemies in its aura of flame.
The other cleric's lance of light misses again.

Irawaru slips back and feels Melora's energy infusing him, but the combined attacks have no particular effect on the charnel creature.
Aden, however, has brought himself dangerously within range. The undead grapples the shadar-kai in the flaming bones, knocking him about as it did Irawaru moments before. Acting more quickly than had been seen, it slams Aden further, setting the swordmage aflame.
Grabbed, 10 fire and necrotic. Crush (free action I was mishandling before) for 15 untyped. AP for slam, 14 necrotic and 5 ongoing fire.
Aden:
Spoiler:
Does this put you down? I'm not sure what resistances you have. If it does, things get worse.

Hold actions for Aden's reply to his spoiler, please.
Neglected to note in the init chart that Irawaru was grabbed, but Hoku's 4 couldn't have moved around in any case.

The creature withers somewhat under Hasnett's light, but fights on, even as it throws off Aden's lightning. Unable to attack Aden, it slams at Irawaru. The barbarian, grappled once more, is thrashed about by the swirling bones.
Grab 6 fire and necrotic. Crush for 10 untyped. AP: Slam for 5 necrotic and ongoing 5 fire. This all includes the aegis. Total to Irawaru 21 and ongoing 5
The other priestess channels light once more, this time with more success, and enhancing Hasnett's ability.

The creature attempts to dodge out of the way of Elohir's blast, but is unsuccessful. It has better luck against Hasnett's beam.
Changing tactics, the burning bones flare, engulfing Irawaru once more, but the barbarian shrugs off the attack. It then shifts back, catching Aden in the aura of heat.
The strange cleric, moving near Hoku, sends a beam of radiance to no more effect than Hasnett's.

Irawaru pursues the creature that Hoku had pushed back, disregarding the lashing incorporeal tentacles of Hadar in his enraged pursuit. His first attack slams the thing of flame and bones back, and the barbarian keeps pace. 2d10 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4-4hp necrotic to Irawaru.
Aden, meanwhile, moves to intercept.

Charnel Action (free, when an enemy within 2 squares of the cinderhouse is reduced to 0 hit points or fewer, at-will)
Make a charnel slam attack against the triggering creature.
Charnel Pyre (when first bloodied and again when the charnel cinderhouse is reduced to 0 hit points) Fire, Necrotic
Close burst 3; +13 vs Fortitude; 2d6 fire damage plus 2d6 necrotic damage. Miss: Half damage.
Rejuvenation
A charnel cinderhouse rises at full hit points one day after it has been destroyed. Performing the Gentle Repose ritual on the creature’s remains destroys the creature completely, preventing it from using the rejuvenation power.
Even as Hoku's dagger is returning from its strike, the charnel creature bursts in an even greater spray of flame and death, engulfing Irawaru. The barbarian dodges the worst of it, but is not unscathed.
Burst 3, half on miss for net 5 fire and 5 necrotic (10 total) to Irawaru.

It definitely squeezed up through the trap door when Irawaru opened it. As far as knowledge, roll the better of your Nature and Religion. Hasnett's already tried, but those are the relevant skills.
Hasnett's bolt of radiance misses the undead creature. It thrashes within Elohir's conjuration, but to no avail.
2d10 - 10 ⇒ (6, 5) - 10 = 11hp Hunger. It has nothing useful to do.
The cloaked stranger calls out to everyone. "Run, while it's trapped -- it's too powerful!" She does not herself run, but nor does she move any closer. She does, however, invoke help for the beleaguered Hasnett. "Mother, please aid this woman." Hasnett, spend a surge with +7
With a roar, the thing of bones and flame breaks free of her enchantment.

The creature flinches from Melora's light, but shrugs off the worst of the effects. Miss for half (and Quarry damage not used), plus vulnerability, net 14hp
It shifts out of Elohir's destructive cloud and lashes out at Aden, entangling the shadar-kai in a cage of bones. 8 - 5 = 3hp fire and necrotic, to Aden and grabbed
The cloaked figure then calls out, "Mother, aid them!" A shaft of silvery light strikes the creature, pushing it back into the zone and immobilizing it, and not least forcing it to drop Aden. Net 22hp
Zone2d10 - 10 ⇒ (5, 8) - 10 = 33hp from Hunger

Map at usual place (I hope). It may look familiar. Orange is burning rubble -- 1d4 for entering or starting your turn there, except so long as it is in the creature's aura 2. Creature has aura 2 for 10 fire. I rolled randomly for positions where you got knocked around. Hoku was using people for cover, but they have begun scattering in panic. 'St' is the cloaked stranger, who has not run -- more below.
Hoku hit, with CA from hiding. 20 damage.
Irawaru's armor screams, startling at least the creature. Miss for 11 damage (after flank). Irawaru takes 10 from the aura
I assume Aden shifted before his Ray of Frost, which missed. Aden takes 10 from the aura
Elohir teleports out of the aura, and doubly curses the creature. 16 damage. Elohir takes 10 from the aura
Hasnett misses, after flank. Hasnett takes 10 from the aura.
The bones clatter loudly at Hasnett, entangling her despite the creature's hampering from Elohir and Irawaru. Hasnett takes 15 fire and necrotic damage and is grabbed. Total 25 damage.
The cloaked figure rushes out to the mouth of the alley and shouts -- a woman's voice. "Run, you fools. This way, in Her name!"

Sorry, nasty cold has turned worse; not sure when I'll be up to mapping. Meanwhile
Hasnett:
Spoiler:
It is a charnel cinderhouse, a large natural animate with the fire and undead keywords. In other words, yes, it is undead. That's all you know other than what's obvious.
When Elohir opens the trap door, a large, blazing, thing vaults up through it, pushing the party back. It seems to be a creation of bone, with an enormous grinning skull at top that could hardly be mistaken for human. It is not, however, cohesive enough to be called a skeleton -- it is more a creation of fire with large bones clashing around within it.
Map forthcoming; a couple notes meanwhile. It has a fire aura 2 -- any enemy starting within 2 squares takes 10 fire. This overrides/does not stack with the 1d4 from the wreckage of the house. The thing has reach, but not threatening reach. The relevant roll to learn more about it is Religion.
Hoku is 6 squares from the wreckage. Everyone else is immediately adjacent to the creature. Elohir's cold spell has not recharged; everything else about you is at start-of-day strength, I believe.
Irawaru's initiative is not on his page, but I think it's +9. Thing's is +8. Aden's is at least +5, so 16 (Aden, you didn't include half-level).
