Thulewyn and Celeste both shoot arrows from the doorway. Both projectiles are bit off centre but look like they will hit in the leg and arm respective - but just as the arrows are about to connect, the skin and clothes in those spots magically momentarily transform into bark - and the arrows glance off without causing any damage. (Original AC of 12 would have hit, but with Barkskin-increased AC of 16 neither causes damage)
Alcazar (who is being botted by me to move things along) shoots a Fire Bolt at the Druid, trying to finish her off. Attack: 9 Damage: 1

Alcazar tries to also shoot through the open doorway, but with both Celeste and Thulewyn already there to do the same, he gets jostled around which throws off his aim - and he misses the druid entirely.
Janek again swings one of his longswords at the Druid. (Attack: 10, Damage: 6) (Janek has Inspiration which he will use to re-roll the attack. New roll: 13)
He then re-focuses to try and recover from the blows he's taken. (Second Wind: 12 hp regained)

Janek swings his sword and the druid manages to deflect his first slash. Keeping the momentum going, Janek reverses the blade to try and get her on the back swing but this blow glances off the magically hardened Barkskin. (Both rolls are misses)
The druid weaves her hands in some complex motion and casts a Thunderwave which targets Janek and Rodan. Damage: 8 DC12 for half. If you fail the save, you are pushed backwards away from the druid.
To the south, you hear noise from the door to the gallery over the large vats of wine.
Rodan seems prepared to make a quip about the druid's bark-like skin, when the roar of the Thunderwave catches him unawares. He is blasted off his feet and rag-dolled away from the druid and toward the plant monsters, falling to the ground, unmoving.
Rodan's Turn:
Death Save: 9

As you shot your arrow from the doorway, you noticed that the two Blights immediately looked to you. But in a peculiar way, not the way they look at their other enemies. And their glance seems to have drifted from you to your pack where you keep the wrapped Druidic staff.
(For the Nat 20:) You also feel a sort of pulsing energy emanating from the staff in your pack, which seems to exactly echo the larger movement and attacks of the Blights.
(Just as a reminder, in post 852 you found out the following about the staff: "You recognise it as a druidic staff, likely crafted and created by the druid who wields it - so you think it's unlikely the druid would have created a cursed item for himself. It looks familiar to you, like the type of magical staff sometimes used to control certain creatures or constructs, but you don't recognise the exact type.")

(Sorry for delay. Work is a nightmare these days and keeping me very busy. )
The Blight which knocked down Rodan charges at Thulewyn and reaches to strike out - but as it starts to slash and Rodan tries to dodge, the Blight suddenly stays its arm. It stares at your rucksack as drawn to it by magic, and then turns around so that it stands with its back to Thulewyn and arms stretched out at the ready.
The other Blights continues to attack Janek but seems somewhat confused by its companions lack of action: Attack: 7 Damage: 5
Still focusing on the druid, Alcazar calls upon his otherworldly powers to also help his friend, Janek. Bolts of fire launch toward the druid and toward the most wounded of the blights attacking Janek.
The Blight that's as attacking Janek catches fire and starts flailing in pain as parts of it burn and turn to ashes. (dead)
(Thulewyn next, then Celeste).
The footsteps from the south sound like they are just about to burst through the door. (New combatants will join next round. Recurring types will use same Initiative as their existing counterparts on the initiative order)
Suprised by the action of the little blight, Thulewyn starts to suspect tye staff maybe more useful then he had suspected. No time to test he theory at the moment, he fires another shot at the druid.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The druid dodges Thulewyn's arrow, but this puts the druid in just the right place for Celeste to strike true with her last arrow. The druid clutches at the arrow shaft sticking out from her body, and collapses onto the floor.
The door to the gallery in the south flies open and out of it bursts another druid followed by two more blights. Through the open door, they are followed by four ravens - it appears the two you saw earlier went to fetch two more.
(Not sure where the new Druid goes for Initiative. But I can presume Janek is up.)
As Janek sees another Druid enter, he advances towards it. "Another! How many more do you suppose are coming?" he says. Swinging his two longswords, he attacks the Druid. (Longsword Attack: 8, Damage: 11) (Longsword Attack: 24, Damage: 11)

Could Thulewyn also roll Perception please.

Attack: 8 Damage: 8 with colossal slayer damage
As long as the little tangle weed behaves...
Clearly his attention is on the activity of the blight over his target...
The blonde elven maiden moves to find the necessary angle to let her arrow loose towards the evil druid.
Elven Longbow: 18 Piercing: 7
She then moves back from where the reinforcements might arrive, ready to fire on them from cover.
The druid dodges Thulewyn's arrow, but this puts the druid in just the right place for Celeste to strike true with her last arrow. The druid clutches at the arrow shaft sticking out from her body, and collapses onto the floor.

Initiative roll 13
As it's a tie, the ravens will act just before the Blights on the grounds of being swifter and more agile.
