-> Yessaris concentration save {DC 23}: 30 - Haste is dropped from Yessaris.
A crossbow bolt travels cleanly through the yaun-ti's left shoulder (Yessaris takes 47 magical piercing damage). The pain is so intense, it breaks his concentration. The artificer finds himself in a lethargic state for the next few seconds. Milo takes notice and fires a second shot:
-> Milo's Crossbow vs. Yessaris: Attack: 16Damage: 11 magical piercing.
-> Milo's second WIS saving throw vs. Sanctuary {DC 14}: 23
Despite having an easier target to shoot at, Milo fluffs the shot.
(@Lerus: Pardon me sir, but I got one Lucky left, 'nd I'm gonna spend it... On that 1st attack!)
Lucky Point Vs Milo's 1st Crossbow Attack: 17. (to hit bonus included) (0 out of 3 Luck Points remaining).
Just as it seemed as if the bolt might last, again Yessaris manages to turn about at just the right moment. His own annoyance boiling to surface in the heat of the moment to warrant glaring at Coautl. "I care /not/ for the rest of those fools who understand nothing but their own stink." He barks back, only to check the second shot off the plate. At which he slowly pans over and gives him a 'Rude Much?' kind of quirked brow.
-> Milo's new (first) attack roll: 17 - The attack would miss, but Milo is the ultimate roguish halfling...
It just so happens that the bolt Yessaris dodged by chance was defective. Its aerodynamics was faulty and the bolt dipped more than a flawless one would while traveling. The bolt hits the yuan-ti right in the face (Milo's Stroke of Luck ability).
-> The attack hits and the rolls persist as described here. Yessaris takes the 47 damage and loses Haste. Second attack still misses.

(@Superbad: Another reminder that your Reckless Attacks are just canceling the disadvantage you get from Sparklegem being protected by Holy Aura. I'm sticking with your first rolls. Take a peek into the spoiler box below to see if you agree with the summary.)

Seeing Yessar being chased, Nox ride to BV-30 and cast Synaptic Static at BU-22,BV-23 each creature with INT>2 need to make INT DC19 saving throw on fail take 29 psychic damage, half (14.5 on succes. On fail the target need to make -1d6 on attack, ability, concentration check for 1 minute. The target can make Int saving throw DC 19 at the end of there turn to end the effect. Mummed and Tupoc probably unaffected because of the cube.
She then tails after Ingur at BN-34 riding the horse in [Tooltip Not Found] manouver preparing to dodge the bullets.
(@Lerus: Since its not called out in the spell, I presume being immune to psychic damage does not prevent its effect from happening.)
Muku's Intelligence Saving Throw vs Synaptic Static(DC 19): 9.
(Hrm... not sure if merely touching corner touching a square or not is enough. But if so, so much for at least keeping Baern tethered to the Battlemane Angel.. and canceling out Reckless Advantage. T.T)
Nox approaches the others and casts he brain interrupting spell.
-> INT saving throws {DC 19}:
Muku: 9
Milo: 23
Baern: 15
Milo pushes most of the intrusive spell out of his head (Milo takes 14 psychic damage). Baern recognizes the pain he is feeling (Baern takes 29 psychic damage and the Synaptic Static effect gets refreshed on him). New to the battlefield, Muku is cought by surprise (Muku now suffers from the -1d6 effect from Synaptic Static but takes no damage).
The first slice brings Yessaris to his knees, the second forces half a quart of blood out of his body (Yessaris takes 76 magical slashing damage, goes unconscious, incapacitated, and prone, and must begin rolling DEATH saving throws in his turn).
Edit: Third attack doesn’t get dropped, but redirected:
Tupoc again touches Mumed's mind long enough to put in a quick word. You know, I don't have to kill you in here. All I need to do is keep you busy and stop you from helping your friends. But in a way, I want to kill you, just for the satisfaction it would give me to finally grind you into the ground. With that, he attempts to Constrict the cleric before again striking.
Tupoc tries to make Mumed pay for healing himself, but the cleric's magical protection resists the impact.
When Tupoc speaks to Mumed 's mind, the human replies loud and clear: "You have to kill me, otherwise Lysanderoth wins. Do what you must." The Couatl-hybrid then launches threes strikes. The first is met by Mumed's whip and rendered moot. The second strikes the cleric's tower shield, also nullified. The third strike is the only one that avoids Mumed's defenses. It hits the man on the chin, and a slight crack can be heard (Mumed takes 13 magical bludgeoning damage).
-> Mumed's concentration check {DC 10; straight roll because of Holy Aura and Mage Slayer feat}: 14
Milo has his eye on the target. He raises his crossbow once more and aims at Yessaris.
-> Milo's first WIS saving throw vs. Sanctuary {DC 14}: 26
-> Milo's Crossbow vs. Yessaris: Attack: 18 Damage: 54 magical piercing (includes Sneak Attack damage).
-> Yessaris concentration save {DC 23}: 30 - Haste is dropped from Yessaris.

(Selrahc is up next).
Selrahc will casually approach Sparklegem, "You are delaying the inevitable."
All attacks with GWM and Reckless as per usual:
-> Maul, +1 vs. Sparklegem: Bless: 4 + Attack: 19 Damage: 28
-> Maul, +1 vs. Sparklegem: Bless: 3 + Attack: 27 Damage: 39
-> Maul, +1 vs. Sparklegem: Bless: 2 + Attack: 27 Damage: 37
-> Maul, +1 vs. Sparklegem: Bless: 2 + Attack: 24 Damage: 24
Again, as usual, Retaliation attack: Attack: 20 Damage: 16

(Ingus is next up).
Ingus sees a temporarily immobile Yessaris and shoots:
-> Pistol vs. Yessaris: Attack: 32 Damage: 21 piercing.-> Pistol vs. Yessaris: Attack: 19
Damage: 9 piercing.Once again, no bullets hit the artificer's body.
Edit: Ingus's WIS saving throws vs. Sanctuary {DC 14}, in order: 11, 26

(Hrm... not sure if merely touching corner touching a square or not is enough. But if so, so much for at least keeping Baern tethered to the Battlemane Angel.. and canceling out Reckless Advantage. T.T)
When you realize you're doing too much: Signature.
Nox approaches the others and casts he brain interrupting spell.
Milo pushes most of the intrusive spell out of his head (Milo takes 14 psychic damage). Baern recognizes the pain he is feeling (Baern takes 29 psychic damage and the Synaptic Static effect gets refreshed on him). New to the battlefield, Muku is cought by surprise (Muku now suffers from the -1d6 effect from Synaptic Static but takes no damage).
-> Compelled Duel drops from Baern.
N-Horse then approaches Ingus cautiously, taking her master along for the ride.
(Sparklegem is next).
Sparklegem refreshes Mirror Image on himself and tries to move away from Selrahc again.
-> Mirror Image roll: 17
(@Superbad: I'm using the reaction attack pre-rolled here).
As the gnome gets away, Selrahc swipes one of the images out of existence. Sparklegem and his two remaining images get away to {BZ34}.
(Boomshakala is up next).
Boomshakala gives chase and is thankful that Sparklegem moved away from Selrach.
Boom moves to CB,25.
Boom once makes releases a Fireball at Sparklegem and his mirror images.
Action: 5th Level Fireball to CF,29 41
Boomshakala approaches and launches another Fireball. Sparklegem prepares for impact with a Absorb Elements.
-> Sparklegem's DEX saving throw {DC 19}: 8
Sparklegem sucks in some of the fire, but not all (Sparklegem takes 20 fire damage). The images seem unaffected by the fire.
(Baern is up next).
Baern rinses and repeats, recklessly:
-> Baern's WIS saving throw vs. Sanctuary {DC 14}: 18, 22, 11
-> Over-sized Greataxe vs. Yessaris: Deduct: 5 Attack: 31 Damage: 36 magical slashing.
-> Over-sized Greataxe vs. Yessaris: Deduct: 3 Attack: 30 Damage: 40 magical slashing.
The first slice brings Yessaris to his knees, the second forces half a quart of blood out of his body (Yessaris takes 76 magical slashing damage, goes unconscious, incapacitated, and prone, and must begin rolling DEATH saving throws in his turn).
Edit: Third attack doesn’t get dropped, but redirected:
-> Over-sized Greataxe vs. Attorney: Deduct: 6 Attack: 30 Damage: 34 magical slashing.
The third swing accidentally hits Attorney instead (Attorney takes 34 magical slashing damage).
Baern then moves to {BS21}. He is now free from his mental pain:
-> End-of-turn INT saving throw vs. Synaptic Static {DC 19}: 20
(Speaking of which, Yessaris is up next. Please roll a DEATH saving throw with Bless. Attorney may take an opportunity attack against Baern.)
Yessaris Death Save(1st): 13.
Plus Bless: 4.
When you realize you're doing too much: Signature.
On the floor, Yessaris twitches showing signs of life (DEATH saving throws - successes: 1, failures: 0).
No order received, Attorney follows the default protocol (dodge action).
(Mumed will go next).
Mumed simply casts Cure Wounds (2nd level) on himself (healing for 21 HP) and prepares his shield and whip.
Edit: I forgot to add the extra bonus to that healing number... Mumed heals for another 4 HP.
(Tupoc is up next).
Tupoc takes a reactive strike at Mumed's healing:
Sanctuary Save: 5 Bless: 3 Attack: 13 Damage: 7
Tupoc again touches Mumed's mind long enough to put in a quick word. You know, I don't have to kill you in here. All I need to do is keep you busy and stop you from helping your friends. But in a way, I want to kill you, just for the satisfaction it would give me to finally grind you into the ground. With that, he attempts to Constrict the cleric before again striking.
Sanctuary Save: 16 Bless: 2 Attack (Constrict): 23 Damage: 13
Sanctuary Save: 23 Bless: 1 Attack (Constrict) : 17 Damage: 15
Sanctuary Save: 14 Bless: 4 Attack: 27 Damage: 13
Edit: I just realized I didn't but any modifiers on the saves, that brings their totals to 17, 28, 35, and 26

Xavier continues to wield his pristine rapier in one hand and a pan flute in the other:
-> Beautiful rapier vs. Attorney: Attack: 28
Damage: 8 magical piercing.-> Disadvantage roll because of dodge: 18
OOC: So many 14s! Also, chance of rolling two 1s on a disadvantage roll: 0.25%... wow!
Xavier's feeble mind is now in full display...
