Now, This will be an important lesson for you all.
"Hey everyone, I think I found one"
Sever my left hand and dump 3 essence into speed. Dump 20 into courage. Dump any leftovers into minimum courage. Summon a floating crystal spike and have it follow me. When I round the corner and see a Yami, launch the spike at it with the intention of impaling it and nailing it to the wall.
((If I succeed, would that allow me to then walk up to it and perform a heart extraction or does that count as using a weapon?))

Now Heydude here is spilling essence and casting before getting into a fight. A good idea. Lets see how he does: He gets 36 spilled essence for hacking his hand off (a wound that will take two full turns to heal) and dumps that into courage (raising it to 17-23). He gets a 22 on his courage roll and effectively summons a big sharp shard of crystal which proceeds to levitate behind his head, waiting to be fired. Now he and
"Have at thee, foul creatures! The light of the sun will cleanse you from this world!"
Charge at the shadow figures and attack the nearest one!

And this guy go charge those shadows. No use of essence for the inevitable initiative check. And the most important part: no one except them is attacking. You guys just walked over behind them and didn't do anything.
In the future, it would probably be better to coordinate your attacks a bit better. Because now:
Yami initiative rolls:
Spite 1: 13
Spite 2: 17
Spite 3: 20
Player initiative rolls:
Heydude:1
Ruludos:3
And it's too late for the rest of you to attack too.
So.
"WE NEED TO STICK TOGETHER, OR... WE'LL BE FINISHED!"
"THIS WAY!"
Boldly lead the party onward to the ground level sound! If someone wanders off, yell at them.

Now, what heydude and Ruludos come across as they round that corner are 3 very large vaguely wolf shaped things. They're definitely dog like in shape, but their necks are too long and their heads too large, and completely missing any facial features save for the mouth. Their bodies are massive tangled clusters of barbed wire, twisted and molded into the vaguely lupine shape. Their mouth is a beartrap which opens and closes with a metallic whine. Their metal teeth and muzzles are coated in gore and they drip blood from their chests and bellies. Human corpses lay at their feet and they are chomping great chunks from them and swallowing them whole. They see you coming as you round the corner. Their claws, great rusty nails, scratch the tile as the turn to face you.
Two charge you immediately, Going straight for your heads with their massive jaws. The third sits back on it's haunches and howls. Snares of barbed wire burst from it's mouth and lash out to ensnare you.
heydude, Ruludos, Your response?
