Sorry, came down with a fever and it’s still persisting. Gonna see if I feel better in a few hours.

Next round later today!
It's possible, though obviously he wouldn't know without sending it out and seeing if she responds.
The guards are hanging back, while Nicole had already disappeared out of view into the 3rd floor. Raja also has not appeared as of yet on cameras.
I would say it's reasonable that Ciara, Iraleth and Chunji would all be reasonably close to it at this point - probably one significant play away, each, from being there.
Storm knocked out my power for a while, but I managed to get something out eventually.

As the bolt launched towards Davil was deflected, the Umbralist immediately craned his head towards Chunji. The left crossbow had disappeared, and instead, a small patterned circle hovered in his palm. In that same moment, a much larger circle of the same pattern appeared beneath Chunji. The man would then fire off a bolt with his other hand, aiming for Chunji's right, and a small portion of the writhing reptilian mass shifted to charge towards Chunji's left. A half-second after the circle had appeared in the hand of the cloaked villain, the circle beneath Chunji would disappear, and instead, a portal would begin to open on the ground with the maw of some incomprehensible shadow-horror rising to attempt to swallow the boy whole, following him even if he were to make an attempt to flee.
As the lizards became bound by Ciara's tentacles, it became apparent soon that something about their biology was far beyond normal for their appearance. The moment that enough pressure was applied to begin to crush the bones of an ordinary creature, it was as if the consistency of their flesh would turn to jelly, bending around and even beginning to absorb the tentacles. The lizards would quickly adapt to this attempt to bind them, pursuing Ciara with even further malice. It may have been an instinctual feeling to Ciara, because their behavior was familiar - they craved food, and their savagery had only intensified like this upon witnessing Ciara's magic. The Umbralist seemed to be under Chunji's curse, but these beasts operated on a more animalistic level. "T-They're gonna eat us! Look at that! Look at thaaaat!" Davil would scream this while being carried, some life returning to his eyes upon realizing he actually might not die here. "I'll do anything not to go out from the teeth on those things, winds push us!"
When the light appeared, however, all would change. The assault on Chunji would have occurred, but the abyssal maw that pursued him would dissipate. Such potent light was something that the Umbralist, even under the effects of a curse, could not ignore. Its radiance woke him from his brief state of mental confusion, and he turned on a full pivot towards Iraleth as she attacked. "Astra's light... that of the impersonator must not be glorified! Servant of the wench of stars, begone from this place!"
The organ that played in the distance would gradually begin to grow in volume, and the single shadow that had been cast upon the Umbralist - his own shadow, by right - seemed to split evenly into six that now circled him. The lizards were being dispatched handily by Iraleth's light, but as the flame hurtled towards the villain, he lowered his arms. His remaining crossbow had dissipated, and he stood there as the wave overcame him.
...And a moment later, the flames that had surrounded him seemed to be sucked into one of the shadows that circled him, noted by the fiery glow that it now emanated with. "Astra's powers are a sham! Your god's might is second-rate, that of Kazaar's leftovers."
Raising his hand towards Iraleth, the shadow that had taken in her flames disappeared, and in the next?
Iraleth would see the full force of her own attack, exiting the man's hand and flying back towards her with the same power she had shot towards him. As this happened, a mass was forming behind the Umbralist. It seemed that the destroyed lizards were reforming, a flesh puddle tethered from underneath his cloak beginning to fan out in all directions behind him.

Next round tomorrow!
That would be @Psyker Landshark and, optionally, @ERode.
@ERode I truthfully wasn't expecting to run another boss encounter here and now, but here we are, LOL
@Psyker Landshark Yep!
@Estylwen There would be an aura of deepest black around him, closer to something like vantablack. The other notable thing about his aura is that it seems to grow and recede in an inconsistent pattern, like it's fighting against itself almost.
