Here's HurK's urn release & kill plan. Feel free to call out any issues you may see.
1) HurK, Laahk and Mak fly under cover of darkness (10pm) to a kilometer south of South Ledo. 2) Mak removes the urns stoppers in the order he chooses. 3) We explain the below plan to the two wraiths. 4) HurK and Laahk then fly to and through the building under ectcoplasmic and phase forms to the bottom of the well (Where the captain was beheaded) while the wraiths follow. 4a) if we encounter psurlons at the bottom of the well, Wraiths are to kill them immediately with extreme prejudice while Laahk and I are backup. 5) Wraiths scout entire area (looking for secret rooms as well) and report back their findings. 6) Pull the kill switch and allow the wraiths to PERMANTENTLY kill everything not us down there, then return with their situation report. 7) Wish them a safe travels and farewell. 8) HurK and Laahk collect any laptops, hard drives and usb sticks of the Psurlons and exit the well the same way they entered. 9) Fly back to the island with Mak under cover of darkness.

Include the big jug of wine I bought for Kaz in our dealings. As soon as they land at Ledo, Laakh asks Abez and Khuv how much distance did we cover?
Bob: Looking for an rough idea of how long they will take to find us, in their current crawling rate.
Precautions: Rejuvenate to max PSPs, War Council with Berg and all PCs.
If Hurk and Mak will fly our guests to S Ledo tonight, we will be without our healer and druid magic, and all the Hurk things. How active will Berg be in this fight?

Mak nods in agreement with Hurk's plan. "I will free them alone, a hundred yards out. If they are complaint and I am not dead, I will lead them to you. If you see them coming without me, assume the worst and flee."
"Once the deed is done, assuming I still draw breath, I will inform them of Gallard's son nearby. Hopefully they will want revenge bad enough to put an end to him."
In preparation, Mak will carefully load the urns onto his Pterrax mount and will stay next to the Pterrax until it is time to depart.
"We're in the end game now..."

Alex/Laahk: You put over 38-40 miles in distance over Nibenay's son and allies. Since you haven't been "pinged" for mental spying - you've probably bought yourself some time. This is dependent upon how much they know about you. A wormhole could feasibly have sent you anywhere, even land. So you have that in your corner.
If they know where you were headed, you stand a solid day or two before they reach you unless magics or psionics are involved.
Kaz will drink, but getting all the giantesses all boozed up might be a tad reckless as they're a violent bunch. This is an acceptable payment for your contact skills.
OOC: I'm just going to make sure that there's no other solid opinions/tactics from the others. Khuv needs to rest a tad before using his wormhole again, that effort dropped like 75-80% of his PSPs.

Find a safe spot for cheese feast to recover before battle. What spells could Mak cast to help us for the ecto/phase part? 4a) if we encounter psurlons at the bottom of the well, Wraiths are to kill them immediately with extreme prejudice while Laahk and I are backup. Sense Observation, Tower of Iron Will, Danger Sense, Safe Path, Blink, Dimension Blade against any lackeys, and if I get a successful psi attack to force contact: ESP 5) Wraiths scout entire area (looking for secret rooms as well) and report back their findings. 6) Pull the kill switch and allow the wraiths to PERMANTENTLY kill everything not us down there, then return with their situation report. 7) Wish them a safe travels and farewell. 8) HurK and Laahk collect any laptops, hard drives and usb sticks of the Psurlons and exit the well the same way they entered. 9) Fly back to the island with Mak under cover of darkness. What spells can Mak use to aid our undetected escape?

Also Laakh (not Laahk) will politely decline dinner to prepare for a whole wheel of cheese.

"We're in the end game now..." "I don't know about you Mak but I cannot see in the dark. Should they kill or posses you, by the time I see them coming at Laakh and I, it would already be too late. Nay, we will stand just behind you with our light beads and more importantly: Manion's magical protection tablet in my pack."As the day turns into night, after an extra light dinner (water and vegetables or fruit) HurK naps until 9pm then prepares along side his companions. Around 9:30pm he will make sure everyone is ready then turn into his 36' black night owl form[Metamorphosis 16, rolled 8 = success; Power Manipulation 17, rolled 14 = success; -26 PsP's]HurK-owl gently grabs his gear stuffed pack with weapons in his right claw then waits for Laakh to climb on before taking to the night sky and heading southward

What spells could Mak cast to help us for the ecto/phase part? Mak shakes his head in the negative, "I don't think I have anything that will help you while in those forms.""If I can reserve my magic, I have a powerful gate spell I can encant but once per day to return us quickly to Ledo."

Rizla will will stand on deck and launch taunts in their direction, mostly double fisted middle fingers and "ha ha you don't own me anymore!" HurK puts a calm hand on Riz's shoulder "It's because of that, that they found you, Riz. I suspect your need for... battle and... showmanship at the arena, is exactly how they found us. One of us met a Nibaneese woman during your bout. I think SHE was a scout and called in your likeness to the templars. I think we should disguise you from now on, and maybe shave off all your hair?""You're not frothy, so you may keep your hand. It must have been nice being raised a book slave, some of us were busy fighting daily for survival. 'We do what we know' Sensei Nakahodo would say, but he was talking about why the arena halflings would eat their kills regardless of what they were" Rizla replies dryly while stepping away from HurK. "How will I be the Mad Monkey of Nibenay if I shave? Personally, I think I just need those females to be silenced, if I can't hear them, they cannot order me as they did. If they cannot force their will on me, I'll use the cliops to tie their corpses up and we can heave them overboard then." Rizla's plans for the evening Enjoy recreational time with those who remain behind, though Rizla has never consumed alcohol before (and likely wouldn't after the first sip if offered some). He'll entertain the assembly with a gymnastics floor show incorporating several katas if they seem to enjoy it. (Tumbling Proficiency check 17 needed, 11 rolled)

You can't help but recall that the spirits claim no need for help in this "extermination" as you fly outside the town. There is a little further discussion. The consensus is to release the entities at the villa proper. Travel is uneventful as you easily reach your goal. The urns need a little elbow grease to twist open. Before too long though you stand before two eerie, oddly adorned humans. Surpanakha stands just shy of six feet tall and is clad in transparent, ornately decorated metal plate armor. In her hands, a wicked looking ghostly ranseur pole axe. At her side, a small metal horn or trumpet. She reaches into her urn before speaking. Narakasura is in similar spectral armor, but with less ornate design. He is about height with his spiritual companion and carries a large spear and shield, emblazoned with an odd crest. He seems less "in shape" in death, with a bit of paunch and fat to his face. He too rustles about his canopic before speaking. Together they smile wickedly and stretch, perhaps out of habit. They then disappear. Narakasura speaks. You cannot see him at all. "It is this building? Leave us to our task. You may come down when Surpanakha sounds her horn thrice. Perhaps you can smash and dispose of these urns while you wait?" Surpanakha's voice simply laughs. You hear it fade towards the villa's entrance.

If they cannot force their will on me, I'll use the cliops to tie their corpses up and we can heave them overboard then." HurK raises both hands up, open palms facing the gladiator "Riz, I meant no offense and wouldn't pretend to even have a tiny understanding of the immense hardships you've endured until meeting us. Your fighting prowess and speed is incredible to be sure, but if your masters named you this "mad monkey", why not start a new career under a name of your OWN choosing as a FREE fighter? Lightning Fists Rizla or The Thousand Punch Mul? But make no mistake, should we encounter your pursuers again, we will all help you end them and their slavery ways..."

Mak spins his spear in his hand and brings the butt of it down upon the urns. He will continue striking them until the pieces are less than an inch in size.
"That settles it."
While waiting to hear from the Zhen, he will cast Protection from Evil (1st, PHB) and Negative Plane Protection (3rd, PHB) on himself... just in case.

At her side, a small metal horn or trumpet. She reaches into her urn before speaking. "Wow, Y... You're beautiful!" HurK says forgetting that was supposed to be his INSIDE voice.Together they smile wickedly and stretch, perhaps out of habit. They then disappear. Narakasura speaks. You cannot see him at all. "It is this building? Leave us to our task. You may come down when Surpanakha sounds her horn thrice. Perhaps you can smash and dispose of these urns while you wait?" Surpanakha's voice simply laughs. You hear it fade towards the villa's entrance. "Oh boy..." HurK says apprehensively then helps with crushing the urn pieces into fine dust under his 1,200 lbs. of magical sandals weight
