Okay soooo:

Wei Wuxian will not be at the farmhouse when the attack starts! He will have been in the citadel having had a late trade night and planned to come back that morning after, only to learn about the attack.

He'll try to get in touch by quartz (with those at the farmhouse, and with Karsa) while heading back to the citadel and collecting the resentful energies he's familiar with there. To those he gets in touch with, he'll offer the following: in his room, there is a collection of talismans meant for reinforcing barriers to discourage and turn away evil spirits. Slapping these up on a surface can be an additional help. He also has a second, smaller pile, that is for attracting evil spirits. He'd suggest using both in order to help see if it controls where Unhalad's undead will make concentrated areas of attack, and to basically help control the battlefield from inside to whatever degree.

So in summary: talismans to repel and attract evil spirits/undead that he'll request they double check with Lan Wangji, Lan Sizhui, Jiang Cheng, or possibly Xie Lian to make sure they're using the right ones for the right purposes. All the cultivators from his world should be familiar with the potential uses of these talismans, considering they made use of his invention (the evil spirit attracting talisman) over the years he was believed dead. Hah.

He won't be attacking with his undead spirit army until the very end of this, which should be a nice coinciding with anyone making the outside rush and/or the run at Unhalad. Anyone sensitive to energies will note a whole bunch of resentful spirits are being mobilised and are amassing nearby beforehand, but the undead of Unhalad's are likely more pressing as a feeling so congrats when even more death is added to the equation. None of these spirits will attack the ragtam group of PCs or the NPCs who've helped them, with of note means Haltham's not a target even if he were somehow randomly around!

Subsequently to all that second-death dealing, he'll be passing out and in recovery until after everyone's decided where they're going next!

This does mean that most my interactions are likely to be over network, or with anyone else teleporting outside (Five, anyone Five moves) and then at the end of the siege, the full on attack with his undead spirit army. As you do.

Note that Wei Wuxian's gonna feel Very Death Energy after this, and during this, and probably will rate feeling similar to the dead so have fun with that, it's just your friendly neighbourhood necromancer joining the fight!
