Alright.

I've also been thinking of making my own trio of Shadar-Kai, named Misery, Agony and Lethargy (or maybe Entropy, Atrophy, or Enmity). I know these are edgy names but Shadar-Kai are edgy in general it seems. I would re-use some of the abilities from the three already made.

It just feels like a waste of the three stat blocks in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes, which was the entire reason I thought of the encounter, to then change it homebrew stat blocks. But maybe that's just my autism.

The last session ended with them seeing the three hooded figures down the road. They know that they are shadar-kai from their dreams. I'm thinking they will talk first and be offered the deal to "repent" for their destruction, and be granted a power if they agree to help. If they don't, then there will be a fight. If they do fight and lose, then they'll be told to either agree to a magical geas to do it, or else die.

My only question remaining would be, what would be a good CR for each of the three shadar-kai to be, to have a ~65% chance of defeating three level 4 PCs (not very optimized).
