The priestess takes another step away from Luma, putting her on the very edge of the behemoth's carapace, where she starts into another powerful spell. Luma blurs, fading momentarily into shadows before reappearing next to the gnoll. This time, though, the priestess manages to twist out of the way. She grins in triumph, the spell she's casting rises to a dire crescendo... and then Aurora's flame bolt slams into her side, cutting off the cast with a yelp of pain.
The behemoth continues the same attacks as before. Again, most of the eye rays miss Luma, and those that hit don't seem to have any effect. However, it does manage to shred one of Stewart's constructs - though the other construct is still largely undamaged, and still quite in the way of it getting to Stewart.
Kailyn and Eenyrl between them are able to finish off the injured wight; it has no resistances to either fire or holy power.
The one remaining (non-cocooned) wight continues to slash at Stewart, and finally manages to land a single glancing blow.
Ametrine:
Naralex ignores you, which means you can get a fairly good look at what he's writing. It roughly summarizes as follows, though the language is highly technical, and contains rather more magically exact descriptions.*
Breath weapon ineffective against highly mobile targets - expected.
Crown of Eyes largely negated by displacement - need improved sensory mechanisms. May also need a better lure for the trap.
Individual tactical capability nonexistent - exacerbated by incompetent gnolls. Expected, but may need to be revised anyway. Bound ghosts, perhaps?

* In other words, you may assume that it comes with a heavy dose of technobabble. Err, thaumobabble? Whatever. Suffice to say that it's not easy to read.
