"Oh no!," Dev whispers, drawing his hand crossbow and trying to remember what Normont had taught him about hitting a target. 'I can't just watch the others fight. I have to do something! He raises his weapon, holds it steady with both hands, takes aim at the closer creature, and, from the top of the stairs, fires! (11+2=13 for 6HP piercing damage).
As Quinn moves forward and Dev fires, Lokilia steps back next to the young tiefling, casting Magic Stone on 3 stones from her pouch. She launches one at the nearest of the creatures, the same that Dev had targeted. (Ranged Spell Attack: 12, Damage: 7 bludgeoning)
Following the others lead, Normont once again takes aim waiting for the first of the creatures to come into view, whispering to Amber to also send one of her force bolts when he fires.
"Block the stairs, and funnel them in one at a time if possible?", he suggests to Quinn as he remains behind the much larger genasi.

(OOC: Would we all get advantage for surprise / unseen)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
With Quinn blocking half the stairs Normont, Lokilia and Dev let fly with their missiles hitting nary a thing. Though Ambers blast catches one of the creatures full in the face and sends it staggering back. The sound of Normonts weapon and the clank of stones and bolts hitting glass and metal bring the other two creatures forward as well.
One of the creatures heads straight for Quinn, another moves past him heading for Lokilia using their blindingly fast movement to get there.
Vs Quinn Attack: 24 Damage: 6
Vs Lokilia Attack: 16 Damage: 5
( Quinn has his Attacks from last round, an AoO on the one moving past him this round and his attacks from this round to process. Creature 2 is within 5' of Lokilia and within 10' of Normont and Dev. Creature 3 and 4 have taken note but not moved up yet.)
"Nuts and bolts", Normont curses as his bullet goes wild yet again and the creatures close on Quinn and Lokilia. Looking to take them out one at a time, he direct Amber to attack the one that looks most hurt, and he does the same.
He pulls the trigger and fires once more, with Amber sending another bolt of force.

Dev winces as his bolt whistles past the creature. He was never good at this kind of thing. But now the shape-stealers are on them, and there is no time to lose. I have to hit it!
He reloads, levels his weapon and tries to calm his breathing. But his hand won’t stop shaking…
With one of the creatures rushing at her, Lokilia just manages to avoid the strike. She makes a motion with her hand, calling out the words to cast Poison Spray at the creature. (CON Save DC 13 or take 6 poison damage)

So Quinn will make two slashing attacks toward the creature.
Normont and Devs shots go wide once more and Amber fails to make much impact....
Lokilias poisonous attack seems to be shrugged off for the most part.
Quinn strikes into the creature before him over and over leaving it bleeding heavily, he lashes out as Lokilias foe passes open a gasping wound in its side.
Both creatures look badly wounded......but the other two are coming in behind but unable to attack as their paths forward are blocked by the other two creatures....as the creatures move in behind they both take on Devs form.
Dev, finding this new shape the creatures have chosen to be particularly aggravating, loads another hand crossbow bolt, but so inexpertly that when he aims and pulls the trigger, it misfires, sending the pointed, narrow rod cartwheeling harmlessly end over end (3+2=5 to hit).
‘I hate this thing!!,’ he thinks, tempted to throw the weapon down the shaft, while fearfully stepping back a few more paces from the assault, momentarily consumed with helplessness.

Lokilia again dodges the blow from the creature. Unsure how successful it might be, she tries casting Poison Spray on the same creature one more time. (CON Save DC 13 or take 5 poison damage)
If the creature is killed, she will then move back 30'.
"It seems fortune favours these creature, hey Dev?", he says trying to make it out like they have just been unlucky. "The trick is to not give up, if you do they will certainly beat us".
He pulls the trigger and fires once more, waiting to see if it drops before instructing Amber to strike again.
Amber dutifully sends another bolt of force at the target Normont has directed.

Quinn will lift his shield and sword and moves in the front of everyone.
As Quinn moves forward and Dev fires, Lokilia steps back next to the young tiefling, casting Magic Stone on 3 stones from her pouch. She launches one at the nearest of the creatures, the same that Dev had targeted.

Normont sighs as once more his aim is not true.

He pulls the trigger and fires once more, waiting to see if it drops before instructing Amber to strike again.
