Pud scans the battlefield. He doesn't have a clear shot at the golem that Horatio and Matilda are dealing with, so he looks to help Ben.
He points his multi-tool at one of the glass golems near Ben and he blasts it with two doses of Eldritch Blast. He then directs Rizzo to attack the same glass golem. She buzzes in and attempts to thump it with a force blast.
Attack:
-blast 1: 24 to hit for 5 force damage
-blast 2: 17 to hit for 6 force damage
Bonus Action: Rizzo buzzes in with a force blast of her own. 13 (9+4) to hit for 5 force damage (3+2)
(OOC: DM, since these are glass golems, do force blasts have more of an impact on them?)

Ben manages to slay one of the cockatrice. Matilda, lashing out blindly, shatters one of the golems. Titaani flattens the cockatrice threatening Tiny and Elkhorn, and seriously injures the other. Pud and Rizzo go after one of the golems near Ben; it suffers a serious crack.
The golems do not respond; they freeze up, inert.
The remaining cockatrice shrieks with displeasure. Matilda and Tiny remain blinded. Horatio is up!
Horatio, winding up to strike the glass man again, suddenly realizes it isn't moving. A laugh breaks out as he wheels about and charges to the nearest bird-thing (( Movement + Dash )). "He only asked these things to save his butt, but he's dead now so they can't!" He yells to the others.
As Horatio circles around to engage the final cockatrice, the bird-thing continues its assault upon Ben:
Bite Attack vs. Ben: 18. Hit: 3 piercing damage, and Ben must succeed on a DC 11 CON save...
Matilda and Tiny remain blinded (but may make a fresh DC10 CON save to end that condition before their next turn.) The glasswork golems remain frozen, inert.
Horatio walks over to Warduke and begins to strip him bare, carefully laying out any smaller items he finds as he goes. He calls out as he does, "I got big ugly. Can you folks search throne guy?"
Walking over to the body on the throne, Ben sighs. There was a time when he would have resisted taking a life, no matter how justified, when he filled his days with simple labour as a mason. Now he has helped cut down two members of the League of Malevolence with no thought of granting them quarter. Is he more decisive now, or just more callous?
Refocusing on the task at hand, Ben pulls the spellcaster out of the undeserved throne and lays him on the floor, beginning to search his possessions.

Warduke carries a magically-flaming longsword, its fire currently extinguished. He also has a pair of well-used daggers and a black helm with large, ornamental bat wings protruding from each ear. He wears half-plate armor and carries a shield bearing a relief of a large, horned skull.
Kelek carries a large, ornate staff bearing the image of some sort of dragon, wears fancy brass bracers on each forearm, carries a small dagger that looks mostly ornamental, and wears long billowy black robes.
Neither carries keys, papers, or other clues, tools, or curiosities.
Horatio calls over to the others, "It may seem grisly, but this is perfectly good half-plate and the sword looks magic. We should use what we can. I didn't find anymore gems or keys or anything over here. When we're done poking around I'd like to take a short break at least. Punching a glass guy until he cracks isn't exactly painless."
(( If no one takes him up on the gear he'll don the half-plate and store his chainmail and the rest of Warduke's possessions in his bag of holding. ))
Warduke's things: magically-flaming longsword ->Ben a pair of well-used daggers a black helm with large, ornamental bat wings protruding from each ear. half-plate armor -> Horatio a shield bearing a relief of a large, horned skull. --> Warduke's unclaimed items to Horatio's bag
Kelek's things: a large, ornate staff bearing the image of some sort of dragon -> ? fancy brass bracers -> ? a small dagger that looks mostly ornamental -> Matilda long billowy black robes -> ?
Elkhorn is grimly satisfied. "That's it – that's all of them. We have crushed the League of Malevolence. Vengeance is finally ours. Victory. But bittersweet. If only we could revive Strongheart. And Mercion. And Ringlerun. They would want to see this day."
As you're sorting this out, Tiny's vision slowly returns.
All is quiet in the throne room, other than the quietly-rumbling vortex swirling outside. What next?
”Yes, the League of Malevolence is no more, and the world is better for it,” Ben says kindly to Elkhorn.
“Perhaps we should continue to head towards the library and see if we can discover Zybilina’s true name? We will need that if we are to get into the room above or restore her back to the normal flow of time,” counsels Ben.

Matilda Con Save- 18
Matilda pulled her favourite blade out of Warduke and threw it at the bird-thing.
Attack: 19 Damage: 10 + Sneak Attack- 6
Tiny attempts to shake off his blindness: 9
Meanwhile, Titaani continues to throw eldritch blasts at the remaining bird creature: Blast one: 13 Damage: 6 Blast two: 14 Damage: 12
Ben:
Just barely deflecting the chicken’s attack, Ben responds with a couple of slashes with his Longsword!
Longsword: Attack: 22 Damage: 11
Longsword: Attack: 8 Damage: 9

Matilda, Titaani, and Ben make short work of the last cockatrice.
Combat appears to be over, as the glasswork golems remain inert.

Titaani kneels down beside Tiny, who shakes his head violently to get rid of his blindness. "Tiny? Are you ok?"
"Maybe we should take a break! That nasty thing did something to Tiny's eyes!" She calls back to Horatio.
Ben:
”That flaming sword would prove useful for me,” says Ben.

Horatio lays the sword and its scabbard aside for Ben. "Anyone else?"
Matilda regards the ornate dagger, might be more than a piece of fancy, " Mine!"

"Ben, we won this fight, but let's not go running into the next one without trying to recover." Horatio urges.
