[Criptfeind]

Charm a man husk to the side of jack.

I can not stay long but I will try to help. Also my internet is acting up so I may drop unexpectedly.

[Dwarmin]

My strategy is to either blow a hole through any stubborn spirits in Raiths way after he gets done with his attack, or nuke the boss.

There's also a slim chance I can interrupt his firebolts...lol

[Cheddarius]

Raith and 3 attendants can kill the front 3 Souls.

EDIT: My mind is brimming with plans and contingencies and different strategies to take out the Souls and the boss. I love this stuff. But I wouldn't want to command you and tell everyone the best strategy; that would make it so that I was the one playing, not all of us. I think we should all do what we like and have fun with it. But if you should ever want for some analysis, or have a question about strategies (e.g. "Is there some way to accomplish goals X, Y, and Z this turn?), just know that I have a lot of free time and I am more than willing to work this out.

EDIT2:
There is a way for Raith to attack the boss. Do not read this if you want to decide what you want to do and figure things out by yourself.

Spoiler: Strategem For Maximum Damage To Jack (click to show/hide)

Souls are numbered from 1, on the left, to 5, on the right.
1 moves up and attacks Elf Soul for 14 damage.
2 moves up and kills Elf Soul.
Raith moves northwest and uses Spin Attack, dealing 10 damage to everyone around and knocking back Jack and the Man Soul. The Goblin Soul may also be knocked back into the other Man Soul and do damage.
3 moves up and kills Goblin Soul.
4 moves up and hits/kills Man Soul. (Man Soul will die if he has taken 6 or more damage from knockback)
Dwarzga blasts Jack with a fireball.
Prothaa can charm the Soul next to Jack, which will distract and hurt him, or try to charm Jack. We do not know what Jack's resistance to charming is. Charming Jack would, of course, be a win.
Valdar plays a Soothing Song. This can give Raith 11 extra damage (25%) or stun someone (8% or 13% chance of stunning Jack, depending on whether the Man Soul is killed). He can also throw daggers at Jack, but this is unreliable and fairly weak.

[100killer9]

Oh, Raith can't instakill the three.
Alright, three rightmost attendants attack the three frontmost souls, while the leftmost attendants attack the back-left soul.

Raith looking jack dead in the eye, shouting threats and insults in a combination of slurred goblin and gibberish. he then raises his axe, scream "WAAAAAAAAAAGH!" at the top of his voice, and charges forward.

[Fault]

tad sorry about this..

CUTSCENE TIME

Jack glances around, seeing as one by one his minions fall to the enemy... some even attempt to strike him!

"BETRAY ME SO EASILY, WILL YE??!!?"

Jack's rage drives out the other souls...

"MAYBE I'LL HAVE YOU FIGHT SOMEONE... A LITTLE MORE FAMILIAR!"

Jack reaches out into the ether and captures the soul of a dwarven bandit.
He arises from the ground, his form twisted by rage into a massive, brutish monster!

"DWARZGA! YOU OWE ME ONE BANDANA!!"

Ok... Charm the bandit and have all the ghosts attack Jack.

[Luke_Prowler]

same action as before: move north then charge.

[Fault]

Raith has reached ten agility!

You've unlocked a new ability: IMPENETRABLE

see first post for more details.

[Cheddarius]

Move north and play a Soothing Song.

By the way, I think the Attendants can only move one tile, so they can't attack Jack this turn.

Spoiler: Analysis (click to show/hide)

There's no need to attack the husks. One is useless, and one is actually our ally (We can kill him when he turns back next turn, but we can squeeze one more attack out of him).
One of our imperatives at this time is to advance as much as we can. In this way, we are able to block Jack's summoning, and strike with the full force of our army against anything he does manage to summon.
The only thing Prothaa can really do right now is try to charm the Elf husk, since it's the only uncharmed thing (besides Jack, who is uncharmable). She should also move northeast in order to use Lay On Hands if Raith dies.
Dwargza should fireball Jack again and try to take him down.
Jorn should also try to charm the Elf husk, like I said.
I will play my Soothing Song to try and either boost Raith or stun Jack. I can also move north, which will let me smash Jack with a powerful Sound Wave next turn and heal any damage.
Melee members should focus on Jack. That means the top row of 3 moves north and attacks Jack, while the next row follows in order to expand next turn.

Oh, the souls were banished. Just kill that bandit instead, plan is the same (except guys attempt to charm bandit now, and melee attack bandit instead of Jack). And Raith definitely should use Impenetrable, or he'll get killed really fast.
