Stormraider Keep (A M.E.T.A.L. Campaign)

Round 1

Flynt is able to note that Aurelius has seen something.  One of the shots hits Eelhead 4, while the other two sail past. 

As he moves, more of the room becomes visible.  You can see Eelhead 1 is hanging from the ceiling near a door to the south.  (The one that was visible before and Flynt shot at was Eelhead 4. Yep, 1 and 4 for some reason.) 

A New Creature suddenly appears from ground just beside the bottom of the stair (N7). Vaguely humanoid, its skin is a dark grey, barely visible in the dim light of this place. It has several arms with sharp points at the ends - which seem to fold out from its body as it moves and are very long and gangly.  

The New Creature crawls up onto the stair in front of Aurelius (ending up at N8) attacking a flurry of gangly arms.
(Claw Attack: 20 Damage: 15)
(Claw Attack: 17 Damage: 12)
(Claw Attack: 24 Damage: 16)
(Claw Attack: 23 Damage: 15)
(Claw Attack: 20 Damage: 13)
(Claw Attack: 27 Damage: 21)

After the attack it uses a special bonus action to move away and back to the south. (No AoO as with Disengage). It pushes through the door and disappears out of sight. 

New Updated Map: The new creature is shown on this map where it appeared but has now moved down through the door next to the other creature that you just spotted.  (It shouldn't have been on this map.) 

(Elyria is now up.) 

Updated Initiative Order
Flynt
New Creature
Elyria
Eelhead 1
Aurelius
Eelhead 4

(OOC Note - I originally missed the Protection from Evil and Good Aurelius had going. So, the advantage on all those attacks should have been negated. Below are the adjusted rolls, ignoring Advantage: 
(Claw Attack: 10 Damage: 16)
(Claw Attack: 27 Damage: 26)
(Claw Attack: 15 Damage: 15)
(Claw Attack: 16 Damage: 23)
(Claw Attack: 25 Damage: 16)
(Claw Attack: 15 Damage: 16)

(It looks to me like it does not change the results at all and two of the attacks hit but the others miss.) 

"Aurelius, look out." Elyria calls out as the six armed creature emerges from the ground.
She hurries forward (to P8) and touches one of Aurelius' grievous wounds (Cure wounds 2nd lvl for 11 )
before calling forth the spectral bear spirit (in K8 granting Aurelius and Flynt 10 temp hp)

Round 1

Eelhead 1 moves forward towards Flynt, stopping at the base of the stair, apparently as it sees the others.  It is still staring intently at Flynt and he feels a strange sensation within his head. (WIS Save DC 14 or be charmed). 

(Aurelius is now up.) 

(Is this an insight roll?) 

Insight: 21

Non insight: 11

Quote from MrJanuary812 >>

(Is this an insight roll?) 

Insight: 21

Non insight: 11

(It is a WIS Save, so Non Insight. You don't have proficiency with WIS Saves, so it is the same as a Wisdom Check.  Since you have Inspiration, I would allow you to use the Inspiration in order to use the first roll, with the advantage, and change the modifier to -1 rather than +2, giving you an 18, which makes for a successful Save.  Otherwise, you are under the effect and can only repeat the save if you are injured.) 

Round 1

Aurelius will leap forward, rushing towards Eelhead 1, attempting to distract it from whatever villainy it is attempting with Flynt.

First Longsword Attack: 27 Damage: 15 slashing + 5 fire damage

Second Longsword Attack: 18 Damage: 9 slashing + 7 fire damage

EDIT- forgot CON save to maintain concentration on protection spell: 22

Elyria swiftly curses the aberration (Eelhead 1, Hex, str) and calls upon her friends Gere and Freke to attack it from its flanks (Conjure animals, two Dire wolves)

Gere Bite: 17 advantage due to pack tactics Damage: 9
If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. 

Freke Bite: 21 advantage due to pack tactics Damage: 10
If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

 (Perfect! Let's do that.)

Round 1

Flynt manages to withstand the strange attempt from Eelhead 1.

Elyria heals some of Aurelius' wounds before summoning the spectral bear successfully.

Both of Aurelius blows land on Eelhead 1 doing considerable damage to it.  

Eelhead 4 now moves forward towards Aurelius, swiping at him with a claw and attempting to bite him. 
(Claw Attack: 20 Damage: 6 slashing)
(Bite Attack: 17 Damage: 9 piercing; if hits make CON Save DC 12 or take 16 poison)

(Flynt would be up next for Round 2)

 (I'm assuming this is your Round 2 actions, which would probably be after Flynt - unless the other aberration shows up again.) 

Map Update

(Yes, sorry, acted to soon, will possibly change this if situation changes after Flynt's action.)

Flynt shakes his head throwing off the mental intrusion and returns fire on Eelhead 1.

Attack: 17 Damage: 14

Attack: 21 Damage: 19

Attack: 5 Damage: 19

If any hit Flynts giant might deals 5 extra damage

Round 2

Flynt's shots all sail past the target.  

(With no signs of the New Creature...)

Elyria casts her Hex on Eelhead 1. 

Both Gere and Freke bite Eelhead 1, killing the creature. 

(Aurelius is up next.) 

Aurelius pivots to Eelhead 4, answering its attacks with mighty swings of his sword, calling upon divine energy from his deity to add power to each blow that lands (divine smite).

First Longsword Attack: 11 Damage: 12 slashing + 10 fire damage + 7 radiant damage

Second Longsword Attack: 19 Damage: 7 slashing + 8 fire damage + 8 radiant damage

Round 2

Aurelius' first attack hits Eelhead 4, killing it. 

(End of combat - for now at least.) 

"Quickly my friends, find the last aberration." Elyria says and sends Gere and Freke after it.
Gere Perception: 20
Freke Perception: 18

(The wolf has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.)

Flynt points Betsy at the door to the south. "It went in there. Send them in to flush it out."
