ill use defensive flourish on the first attack that hits adding +damage, +AC for myself 4.
Defensive Flourish. You can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration and deal extra damage equal to the number you roll on the die. You also add the number to your AC until the start of your next turn.
(OOC: I am trying to break the elven concentration hopefully i can get the druid snap out of it)
EDIT: (if the elf still walk away from me even though the charm dint work ill use my OA) Reaction: (during the elf turn) ill use the OA to activate my warcaster feat and instead cast a spell. Booming Blade as for the weapon i the rapier Attack: 23 Damage: 18 (14 pierce/2necro/1thunder) (the hex still WIS disadvantage for this one) If the attack hit the elf receive another 4 thunder damage because by moving it active the spell other condition.
**My turn depends on the Con Save, so I will post both options, then finalize once the save is made**
Successful Con Save (spell still up):
Dredge runs up to Nox and grabs his wrist. “Mate! Mate! There’s no reason to be testy here, eh? What did she do to you? Besides healing you, nothing!” He struggles against the Calm Emotions, but still manages to eventually rage, his companion’s behavior provoking him.
Grapple: 14
**OOC: Yes, low rolls! Go Nox, I believe in you!**
Failed Con Save (Dredge is FREE!):
Dredge slowly comes to the realization that this elven woman has been fooling him. He runs as if to interpose himself between Nox and the enemy. “There’s no reason we need for this, mate. I think that our path of action is clear!” With that, he spins around, casting Flame Blade with a fourth level spell slot and slashing at the woman.
Nox receives the gift of Lesser Restoration, but turns and attempts to plunge his rapier in her back. The Elven Figure manages to notice his aggression in time to calmly step out of the way.
Nox follows up on his failed attack with a quick casting of Hex, as well as a pair of rapier thrusts. One of them punctures the Elf’s side. The blade itself does not seem to bother the lady very much, but the magical rot accompanying it does (Elven Figure - CMD: 59).
-> Concentration save {DC 10}: 17 - Calm Emotions is maintained.
Nox then takes a defensive position, expecting the worst.
"Nox, enough!" Karwin tells her companion. "We do not need to fight!"
(Sorry, not really seeing where the map is up to at this point. Will have the spiritual weapon return to Karwin, and if there's space for her to stand between Nox and the elf figure, then she'll do so.)
The Giant Snake begins to fade away, as Dredge focus his attention at keeping Nox away from the Elven Figure.
Karwin moves in closer, placing herself in between Nox and her charmer, Spiritual Weapon in tow.
Lot (autopilot) will rejoin the rest of the group, bringing his flying books along with him. The sorcerer also seems to side with the non-aggression idea at the moment. Nox seems to be the only one left intent on fighting.

UPDATED MAP:
I will not be able to post a map update while traveling. Please check again later. Feel free to ask questions about location in the OOC chat before making your next post.
Please recall that this map update refers to the map as of the beginning of the initiative round within this post. Posts below this one are not taken into account in this map just yet.
Scared of the sudden attack, the Elven Figure teleports, reappearing again 30 feet north of where she just was. (Those of you with the means to see in the dark or dim lighting from Dredge’s sword would be able to see this).
She will then keep running, exiting through the northern door of this chamber into the grassy room. She will also dash to get as far away as possible.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
(@All: My trip is coming to an end so I should be able to return to my regular posting schedule soon. By popular demand, I’ll go ahead and post the Concentration save below, but I reserve the right to edit it later on in case Nox and the Elf’s position on the map are such that he wouldn’t be able to see her to shoot his spell. I’ll know for sure once I regain access to my maps).
Only one of those blasts would hit:
Concentration save {DC 10}: 5 - Calm Emotions is dropped!
(@All: I was afraid this was going to happen. I did some math working back from our map from two rounds back. I recounted it three times. No matter how I do it, with the elf effectively moving 90 feet in her last turn and Nox moving 60 feet, the Tabaxi would not have eyes on the Elf for the purpose of his latest attempt at Eldritch Blast. So, no spell, no hit, no concentration save).
(@Palfatreos: Feel free to edit your last post to do something else with your action, since you wouldn’t cast the spell on a target you can’t see because she is too far ahead of you into the hallways right now and you are not quite yet in the grassy room. You had approached the elf in the turn before this one (AM24), moving south and putting you too far from the grassy room, even with Misty Step).
(@Dredge: As things stand, Calm Emotions is still in effect).
Apologies for any confusion. As I said, things should be back to normal later on today or tomorrow as I return to my schedule.
Lot tries to reason with the Elven Figure, but his counterpart teleports away before the sorcerer can finish his sentence. He then turns to Nox, looking for a willing pair of ears, but the bard also disappears in a puff of silvery mist. Nox gives chase to the Elf, managing to keep pace with the fleeing foe. Dredge, Lot, and the floating books all follow suit, but can't quite keep up.
Here is some location info to help visualize this. Use the last map update as visual aid.
Elven Figure: Z27 - Nox is the only one that sees her. Nox: Y27 Dredge: AB25 Lot: AB24 Karwin: AM25 - Turn pending Books and Spiritual Weapon: right at the center of the room.
(@poke: 24-hour rule has been triggered and the show must go on. Hope to hear back from you soon).
Karwin (autopiot) will keep up with the chasing party, still trying to understand why violence is taking precedence over civilized talk (move, dash, bonus action: move Spiritual Weapon).

The Elven Figure teleports once again, surely reappearing somewhere within the dungeon not too far from where she was standing a moment ago. She surely keeps moving afterwards, but exactly where to may be hard to determine.
(@Nox: From your current angle, you can't quite be sure where the Elf reappeared. I'm sure Nox would have a hunch, but there is at least a bit of doubt. Just keep that in mind).

The Druid fails to hold on to the agile catfolk.
(Lot, Karwin, and the Giant Snake are still up. All three are charmed by the Elf. Dredge and Nox are immune to this effect for the next 24 hours).
