"Good work, everyone. Now, where are we?"
Genesis ignores Debby's floating head and Aa's question - both being issues he was sure would resolve themselves, one way or another. Instead, he considers what he views a a more pressing problem: what was the source of these creatures, and what other tricks does it have on hand?
Relink. Contemplate the difference between this animating magic and that of Elias. Aside from being different due to being two different sources, does this magic display any noteworthy difference? An air of hostility? Death? Mental illness? Also, investigate that cry: did it come from a direction? What kind of music did it evoke?
Edit: Follow along if Grey's needle magic leads him anywhere.

Relinked.

This magic...well...it seems more bad you guess. You don't like it.
[5]
The cry...its hard to say. It was lilting and shifting, like words being spoken too far away to make them out. You can make out the cadence but not the words themselves. It...makes your hair stand on end. Whatever it is, it isn't right.
Grey cuts the Maintaining lifting Debby into the air and catches her, either with his hands or with telekinesis if she's already high up.
"Sorry about that."
Grey turns to the group, gesturing to his needle.
"Now that we killed these creatures in brutal fashion, we have everything we need to find whatever spawned these things. As soon as we're ready we can have the captured magic in our needles lead us back to its maker."
Grey links with everyone who teleported to him. As soon as everyone is ready to set out, Grey wills the magic in his needle to lead Grey and whoever wants to come with him to whatever originally created it.

Grey releases his spell and dives to catch Debby. He does so, in quite a valiant way, and gets absolutely smushed. [-1 HP] Debby is unharmed though, so chivalry is intact.

The magic explodes out of the needle like black lightning. It arcs out in a vague easterly direction for about 20 feet before hitting a tree and detonating it into splinters.
Aaron relinks, and then seeks to know if there are any more ambushes waiting for them or being formed right now. He tells everyone the result, and then accompanies Grey if he still tries finding the magic's originator.

The bullet seems to have caught you in the left side, slightly off the spine. You don't seem to be bleeding to death from a punctured heart or suffocating from a punctured lung. Moving does hurt a fair deal, but you don't think it will kill you.
"OH SHIT IS THIS PUNISHMENT FOR SHOOTING TESS, I didn't mean to I'm still not really sure how to use the gun!"
Ask the magic to drop me and for a tree to catch me.

You crawl off Grey and apologize to Tess for shooting her in the back.
“Ho- *hic* *hic* *COUGH*”. Hugh attempts to cough up the magic and catch it in his hands. Once the magic has been coughed up and caught, he presumes to eat the hardness from out of the ground below Debby. Once that is done, he relinks with Grey, and takes the magic over to Genesis.

You attempt to hack up the magic you swallowed and gag. It feels like you're trying to cough up barbed wire. Ow. Ow.
