The heroes (Joshua, Scout, Viktor, Ten Bears, and Cormac) awaken to a howling werewolf, calling out Gilgamesh and the rest of the heroes. Strangely, the tiger was missing. The lycanthrope kept at it, spooking Scout who used a Wish to recurse the kittie back to Charn. Naturally, Gilgamesh taunts the "pathetic loser" and he offers to "shit you out first" as soon as it was "ready to end it's life." The werewolf and his allies arrive soon after...
Scout and Gilgamesh are waiting on the roof of the hovel when the dog spots a flying skiff, but he can't see it's LOADED with shadows as well as a few githyanki and a werewolf. The heroes fall back and suddenly Viktor is overwhelmed by shadows which pour into the hovel. The githyanki use their psionics to disrupt the combat, but only Viktor is affected. Gilgamesh, meanwhile, has slipped out as he cannot fight the shadows, hunting the werewolf who is doing the same to him.
Joshua's faith saves the day. He repeatedly turns the shadows his abilities stronger nor diminished, blunting the vast majority of the undead assaults. Of the nearly two dozen shadows that attack, only three are destroyed; the rest are turned, but this prevents the githyanki's shock troops from slaughtering the group.
Gilgamesh rips the werewolf into strips of meat. A githyanki knight nearly cuts down Viktor with his silver two-handed sword, but Scout defends the half-orc and slays the knight.
Cormac and Ten Bears deal with a few shadows inside the hovel with the sidhe actually ending two of three of them. Gilgamesh is pummeled by (illusionary) lightning bolts until he leaps up and shreds the githyanki casting them so she disappears in a silvery flash. As the heroes on the ground mop up the undead and save Viktor, the tiger rips apart two more githyanki.
The heroes rest and recover, spending the day to pick off (most of) the shadows as well as (some more) ghouls. Although two of the githyanki fled, there are no further signs of threat, beyond the ghouls swarming the town still.
