Gustav signals for the group to stop, getting a mixed bag of responses from everyone. the jungle around the group goes silent, aside from the light rain pattering around them, and the mild wind. Zein would look to Gustav, saying I'm not sure what it could be.. for certain... but.. we may be.. being hunted. I didn't leave the cities walls except to escort the slaves to and from a certain point... but I've heard that deeper in the jungle, packs of smaller creatures look for lone prey, or small groups. Let us pray that I am wrong... for though small and weaker than most creatures.... they win by numbers....
A shrill call flows out from just behind the group, though nothing can be seen. A few moments later, another call from in front.... then to each side... giving the impression the group was surrounded. A sudden rustle of underbrush.... silence... repeat once..... twice... silence.... the patter of rain on the muddy ground.
Thanks to Gustavs warning, no one is surprised when the first creature leaps out ...

Doing things a little differently, and we'll see how you guys like it! the DM of one of my groups does a group average, and lets all of one side go, i'd like to try that here. Based on that.. the enemies go first in this encounter. as they have a 19.5 average, vs a 13 avg. if you don't like it, after this encounter, we will go back to normal!
R1 leaps from the brush, it's total height just barely hip level with Era, jumping at Kauil, however, Vola had prepared herself, and a blue streak of frigid energy lances towards it (Attack: 17 Damage: 5) but the Raptors speed was just too much, causing Vola to misjudge her timing and aim, the streak continuing until it hits a nearby tree, adding a layer of frost, and every raindrop that his it between is frozen instantly, creating tiny, frozen jewels in it's wake.
R1 's leaping attack Attack: 12 Damage: 4 (STR DC 10 or be knocked prone) (14) Kauil, not expecting the attack, is easily dug into by the raptors massive toe-claw slicing into his side, and falls over like a feather to a strong wind, just before the raptors jaws follow up Attack: 18 Damage: 6 sinking a bite out of his arm (OOC - I realize the claw damage and bite damage need to be swapped but it should overall even out)
R2 seeing that r1 seems to have pinned the birdman, swaps targets, going after Gus, leaping into the air, toe-claws bared (Attack: 13 Damage: 5) (STR DC 10 or be knocked prone) (0) though hit, Gus manages to knock most of the blow aside, though the raptor follows up with a low bite Attack: 17 Damage: 8 landing a much more solid hit this time in Gus' thigh.
R3 appears from the brush on the other side of the group, in a pinsir move, both it and it's fellow Raptor leaping at Ka. Attack: 19 Damage: 6 After seeign what happened on the other side, Ka was somewhat ready, and manages to deflect the attack entirely, Attack: 16 Damage: 5 the followup attack, evaded as well. However, the onslaught wasn't over... R4 does the same as it's brother. Attack: 20 Damage: 4 this one landing a solid hit, as Ka is recovering from his evasion (DC 10 STR Save or be prone) (6) this time, Ka wasn't so lucky as he falls to the ground, impaled by twin claws, only for the followup bite snapping at him Attack: 13 Damage: 7
Taking a more solid hit than before as the raptors all begin tearing into their prey.
PLAYERS TURN.
Also Burgee, Update Kauil's sheet to match his level! he has 1050 EXP to gain.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Kauil lets out a shrill call as he is thrown to the ground but he quickly gets hold of his senses and calls upon his elven godess to make his aim true as he thrusts his rapier up towards the lizard but it skids off of the raptor's hard underbelly making no contact at all. (Attack: 22 Damage: 8 Plus: 6 if hit.)
Seeing Kauil's effort to nothing but leave him vulnerable, Burgee quickly raises his staff and calls up to the heavens as he thrusts the staff to the ground causing a crackle in the air around him and the others as a bolt of energy erupts from his staff directly toward R1 allowing Kauil to quickly jump to his feet to brace for what surely would come next. (Attack: 20 Damage: 23)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Era stumbles at the raptor leaping so quickly toward Kauli that it takes her a second to realize what exactly was going on here. "Kauli!" She cries, seeing how the creature knocked him down so easily. With furrowed brows, Era's tattoos being to glow as she starts to cast Conjure Animals. Four white pools spawn about 30ft away from Era (not sure where they would be because I forgot how many feet each square was :P) and slowly they shape into raptors themselves!
Raptor attack! (not sure if their initiative matters but I'll roll anyways) 19
They all let out a shrill before Rappy the Raptor charges forward on the raptor attacking Kauil! Claw Attack: 6 Damage: 12 If it hits, make a DC 13 Str save or be knocked prone! (I'll roll the bite attack bonus action too just in case so we don't have to wait for my attack rolls) Attack: 11 Damage: 9
Ricky the Raptor follows suit on R2! Claw Attack: 14 Damage: 7 DC 13 str save again! Bite Attack: 13 Damage: 9
The other two say **** it and go on R1 (IF he's alive, IF NOT then R2). Claw Attack: 8 Damage: 14 DC 13 str save again ya *****! Bite Attack: 22 Damage: 5
Claw Attack: 18 Damage: 8 DC 13 str save ****! Bite Attack: 12 Damage: 8

Vola pulls a small loop of leather from a pocket, spins it around the end of her finger 3 times and flings it towards the raptor on Ka (4?) - Levitate, con save Vs DC 16.
Pickle clambers out of her pack and scampers aggressively (ish) at R3, nipping at its tail (help) to distract it.

Too tense for words, Gustav kept an ear swiveled towards the others while he awaited the source of the disturbance, but is still a second too slow to call out another warning. Nin and Guss almost literally explode into action, transforming themselves into a living conduit of lightning and... a Gorrila! Both look to each other, in with a brief nod, they turn roaring and rushing at their nearest opponent with hammering fist and axe!
Either rescued by Vola's levitation or Nin's brutality, Ka clamor to his feet, clasping his shoulder. Silently thanking some dragon god for the blessing of hardened scales, Ka takes a second to size up his too opponents... than another second to not confuse them with Era's summons before stabbing out at one; only to retreat in the blink of eye or distraction of pain. By this point, Wonder's calling one of the raptors a "Doo-doo head!"snaps Gustav back to attention. "Steady your self, Kauli. It will come back with time." He encourages before turning, finding a raptor to most viciously stab in the torso!

R1 is struck by the blinding bolt of electrical energy, now linking Burgee and it together, Occassional flashes of the raptors bones can be seen through it's skin, but still it does not fall, though it doesn't seem like it can take much more. A moment later, four more raptors appear, though they all are distinctly blue and covered in white tatoo's. One of them finishing off the raptor that Burgee had just struck in a rending slash. Seeing it's prey dead, rappy bites at R2, landing a solid tear - only for ricky to show up and cleave the raptor into a gory spray. Ricky see's no one else nearby that isn't 'designated' as an ally, by Era, and roars out a bleating victory cry.
The last two raptors beginning to charge at the remaining two raptors on the south side of the group. (but running out of movement - Also all pets and NPC's you control take their turn on yours, to make initiative easier, especially since i think i'm going to keep doing it like this.. as this is more or less how it went anyway... E.G. Player A, Player C, NPC, NPC, NPC, Player c.. after the first round its usually just player, enemy, repeat)
Raptor 4 is tearing into Ka as magic (18) flows over it, flinging it into the air, making it cry out in surprise as it is now hovering 20 feet in the air.
Gustav stabs out at R3, as r4 is floating too high to reach without some level of acrobatics, completely eviscerating it, the raptor dying in a spray of blood as Gustav had managed to hit a main artery. The remaining raptor is out of reach of most of the other actions, but sensing the fight isn't over, they ready their actions instead, hearing even more rustling, though it's now accompanied by shrill, predatory cries. However, Wonder calls the floating raptor a 'doodoohead' (7) but for one reason or another, her verbal assault failed to have the impact she had hoped.
Zein's blade is brandished, and shield leveled, as he looks around at the surprise attack. Raptors! They are rarely ever in so few of number, and most packs have a leader. The storm isn't over yet friends.. Brace yourselves. Zein prepares an action.
The rustling and cries seem to be coming from everywhere, as if you've been corralled here... led here on purpose, whether you realized it or not. and roughly a 'turn' later, the entire forest exploded into motion, as if the tree's themselves were spawning the creatures, luckily you were all expecting the assault at this point. Seven more raptors enter the fray from all directions.
R1 leaps at Gus, Attack: 23 Damage: 5 landing a solid blow (4) +4... Failign to knock him down, Gus retaliates between this, pummeling R1 with his two prior attacks, the raptor biting at his fist in retaliation 9as part of his normal turn) Attack: 17 Damage: 8 biting off one of Gus' fingers and devouring it right there.
R2 attempts to take advantage of the distraction, however Zeins readied action, using his shield, attempts to shove the raptor away and intercept the attack. (19) (6) however the raptor takes advantage of this, using it as 'ground' before slashing it's toe claws at Gus... Attack: 23 Damage: 4 landing a solid hit, however zeins action prevents it from knocking him over. The raptor then biting at his arm Attack: 14 Damage: 7 ripping off part of his forearm.
R3 leaps at Vola Attack: 16 Damage: 3 but vola deftly pirouettes, avoiding the claws, the bite Attack: 15 Damage: 3 however.. havign misjusdges itself, it's own tail slides into the way of it's jaws, making it bite itself.
R4 continues floating helplessly.
R5 Comes from Vola's blind spot, Attack: 21 Damage: 3 claws digging deep gashes into her chest (22) however, she holds out against the blow, the raptor taking advantage of it's perch to snap at her face Attack: 15 Damage: 3 biting off the tip of her nose, before dislodging its claws from her chest and falling onto the ground to menace her. (2 con saves for levitate, DC 10. Also I did see your familiars action but the creature died anyway :P)
R6 assails (3) Attack: 23 Damage: 6 but fails horribly, twistign it's ankle on the ground from overextending it's claws, losing the rest of it's turn.
R7 and 8 gang up on (4) Attack: 5 Damage: 6 Attack: 10 Damage: 4 (4) hanging on by a thread of 4 HP. Attack: 9 Damage: 6 Attack: 21 Damage: 8
(4) exploding in viscera as it's shredded by the other two raptors, before vanishing like a puff of magic.
Nin shifts around and udner the floating raptor to strike out at the new R1 (19) the lightning flowing around the raptor, but never hitting it. The attack that followed up, also missing.
Ka stabbing out at R1, landing a nip, before disengaging as close to the position as possible.
(To Nunberry: Book Rules Wise, its based on the creatures CR. Which is why you can't turn some commoner into a T-Rex to wreck a town normally. Or the potentially even more broken turning a familiar into a big scary monster. B/c there is 0 risk of bestial instincts/personality having things go bad)
"Seems finding this leader would bring about a swift end to this."Gustav replies as he lays into the next raptor before doing a quick look around for a tree to scale up to start looking around for the caller. "Guss! Release the Hound!"He calls out just before potentially "disappearing" from sight into the trees. Nin turns himself into a whirling dervish of blades after taking out a second handaxe.
Ka dark souls roll back abruptly, disengaging from any nearby threats. Then as he came back up, it is to fire upon one of Viola's attackers. Meanwhile, a roughed up Guss rapidly grows less hairier(3 overflow damage), though the loss ape fingers grew back as lizardy stubs. Hearing the call from the aged Tabaxi, a deep hiss turns into a bestial growl as green fur bursts from about his form. In seconds, a massive wolf stood in place of the lizardfolk, ready tear immediately into raptor caught between Guss and Zein.
At some point or another, Wonder sung a single, unbroken note before going *poof* disappearing from view.
Gustav's Actions: Bonus Action: Gustav uses Bardic Inspiration on Guss(d6). Action: Rapier - To Hit: 13 For: 23 non-magical piercing damage on R6. Movement: To and up the nearest tree(not sure where that would be, but burning feline agility to double his speed. Climbing speed is 40ft) (Also even attack is missed/survived, no opportunity attacks due to Fancy Footwork)
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you learn how to land a strike and then slip away without reprisal. During your turn, if you make a melee attack against a creature, that creature can’t make opportunity attacks against you for the rest of your turn.
Nin's Actions: Action: (Reckless)Handaxe - To Hit: 20 For: 7 non-magical slashing damage. Bonus Action: (Reckless-Offhand)Handaxe - To Hit: 16 For: 5 non-magical slashing damage. (Both attacks on R1)
Ka's Actions: Bonus Action: Cunning Action - Disengage and move to 8-F. Action: Shortbow: To Hit: 21 For: 10 magical piercing damage(sneak attack included) at R3.
Guss' Actions: Bonus Action: Guss Wildshapes Into Dire Wolf. Action: Bite w/ Adv from Pact Tactics. To Hit: 25 For: 12 non-magical piercing damage.
Wonder's Actions: Action: Wonder Casts Invisibility on self. Future Reaction: Cutting Words on an attack against her or Gustav, does not break invisibility.

(sorry Nunberry i HAD answered your question but apparently it didn't go through.. but the answer is yes - he will get his own attack turn. And he moves on your initiative. And what he can become is based on your CR)
R4 is suddenly dropped as a sharp pain goes through Vola's mind, dropping the raptor on the ground (11) landing prone, and disoriented for a moment. Then casts Mirror Images on herself for added protection.
Burgee hurls two streaks of flame at R5, nearly incinerating it, it manages to survive, but is clearly on it's very last leg.
R6 is skewered right through it's head, piercing it's brain, killing it instantly. Nin slashes R1, finishing it off, before flowing with the momentum just as R4 falls to the ground, slashing it as well as R1 died. Nearly finishing it off. Ka retreats and fires at R3 with Gus morphing and finishing off R4. Wonder vanishes from sight, and prepares something deep.
Era whips the shit out of R7, pulling it 10 feet closer as the thorns dig in. Minos casts one missile at the fallen raptor, finishing it off, while the other two missiles went to R3 and R2, also killing R3 in the process.
the raptors leap at and attempts to finish off R7, followed by his brothers, but they all fail,the other raptor somehow dodging or deflecting blows.
Zein slashing out at R2, trying to finish it off. Attack: 17 Damage: 28 - Attack: 11 Damage: 27
6 - 4 (made a mistake on his rolls) the first blow landing solidly, but the raptor avoiding the second, managing to maintain its existence.
Finally, crashing through the tree's, a Massive Raptor, roughly the size of a tall human, with a vibrant color appears, shining in shades of green followed by another one on the opposite side.. The Alpha Male and Female. (30 - 27)
R2 claws and bites at Gus, rallied by the presence of its parents, and alphas. Attack: 8 Damage: 5 + Attack: 11 Damage: 8 but failing utterly on both.
R7 going after (3) now Attack: 6 Damage: 5 + Attack: 20 Damage: 7
with R8 following up on (3) Attack: 17 Damage: 4 + Attack: 3 Damage: 8 and finishing it off.
R8 (the previous was supposed to be 7 but editing would manip rolls..) charges and leaps at Era Attack: 5 Damage: 4 + Attack: 19 Damage: 6 two razor sharp claws dig into Era's chest, though it didn't build up enough speed to try to knock her over, she however blocks it's bite.
Malpha (aka '1') charges full force at Gus - Attack: 6 Damage: 11 (check Vs 11 (19 - 6) sinking its massive razor claws into Gus, but in a moment of adrenaline, from the sheer terror of the creature, Gus manages to throw it off before it can pin him, the raptor landing on it's side, and losing the rest of it's turn, landing prone (adv vs it)
Falpha (seen as '2') Dives at Era Attack: 17 Damage: 13 it's claws sinking deep into her back, almost hitting her lungs (Save Vs 2 - 5) Era, much like Gus, panics with adrenaline, and finds an immense amount of strength, ducking down, and grabbing the raptor by its legs with blinding speed just as its claws exited her wounds, throwing it to the ground on the opposite side of where it came from. Also losing the rest of it's turn.

A moment later, four more raptors appear, though they all are distinctly blue and covered in white tatoo's. One of them finishing off the raptor that Burgee had just struck in a rending slash. Seeing it's prey dead, rappy bites at R2, landing a solid tear - only for ricky to show up and cleave the raptor into a gory spray. Ricky see's no one else nearby that isn't 'designated' as an ally, by Era, and roars out a bleating victory cry.
The last two raptors beginning to charge at the remaining two raptors on the south side of the group. (but running out of movement - Also all pets and NPC's you control take their turn on yours, to make initiative easier, especially since i think i'm going to keep doing it like this.. as this is more or less how it went anyway... E.G. Player A, Player C, NPC, NPC, NPC, Player c.. after the first round its usually just player, enemy, repeat)
Raptor 4 is tearing into Ka as magic (18) flows over it, flinging it into the air, making it cry out in surprise as it is now hovering 20 feet in the air.
Gustav stabs out at R3, as r4 is floating too high to reach without some level of acrobatics, completely eviscerating it, the raptor dying in a spray of blood as Gustav had managed to hit a main artery. The remaining raptor is out of reach of most of the other actions, but sensing the fight isn't over, they ready their actions instead, hearing even more rustling, though it's now accompanied by shrill, predatory cries. However, Wonder calls the floating raptor a 'doodoohead' (7) but for one reason or another, her verbal assault failed to have the impact she had hoped.
Zein's blade is brandished, and shield leveled, as he looks around at the surprise attack. Raptors! They are rarely ever in so few of number, and most packs have a leader. The storm isn't over yet friends.. Brace yourselves. Zein prepares an action.
The rustling and cries seem to be coming from everywhere, as if you've been corralled here... led here on purpose, whether you realized it or not.
and roughly a 'turn' later, the entire forest exploded into motion, as if the tree's themselves were spawning the creatures, luckily you were all expecting the assault at this point. Seven more raptors enter the fray from all directions.
R1 leaps at Gus, Attack: 23 Damage: 5 landing a solid blow (4) +4... Failign to knock him down, Gus retaliates between this, pummeling R1 with his two prior attacks, the raptor biting at his fist in retaliation 9as part of his normal turn) Attack: 17 Damage: 8 biting off one of Gus' fingers and devouring it right there.
R2 attempts to take advantage of the distraction, however Zeins readied action, using his shield, attempts to shove the raptor away and intercept the attack. (19) (6) however the raptor takes advantage of this, using it as 'ground' before slashing it's toe claws at Gus... Attack: 23 Damage: 4 landing a solid hit, however zeins action prevents it from knocking him over. The raptor then biting at his arm Attack: 14 Damage: 7 ripping off part of his forearm.
R3 leaps at Vola Attack: 16 Damage: 3 but vola deftly pirouettes, avoiding the claws, the bite Attack: 15 Damage: 3 however.. havign misjusdges itself, it's own tail slides into the way of it's jaws, making it bite itself.
R4 continues floating helplessly.
R5 Comes from Vola's blind spot, Attack: 21 Damage: 3 claws digging deep gashes into her chest (22) however, she holds out against the blow, the raptor taking advantage of it's perch to snap at her face Attack: 15 Damage: 3 biting off the tip of her nose, before dislodging its claws from her chest and falling onto the ground to menace her. (2 con saves for levitate, DC 10. Also I did see your familiars action but the creature died anyway :P)
R6 assails (3) Attack: 23 Damage: 6 but fails horribly, twistign it's ankle on the ground from overextending it's claws, losing the rest of it's turn.
R7 and 8 gang up on (4) Attack: 5 Damage: 6 Attack: 10 Damage: 4 (4) hanging on by a thread of 4 HP. Attack: 9 Damage: 6 Attack: 21 Damage: 8
(4) exploding in viscera as it's shredded by the other two raptors, before vanishing like a puff of magic.
Nin shifts around and udner the floating raptor to strike out at the new R1 (19) the lightning flowing around the raptor, but never hitting it. The attack that followed up, also missing.
Ka stabbing out at R1, landing a nip, before disengaging as close to the position as possible.

Don't forget fall damage if I failed one of em.
Is that brown thing NE of me impassible? Or can I step onto it, Thunderwave, and then step back without provoking AoO?
Also, if I Polymorph my familiar, does he get his own independent attack? And does he count as L1 (based on the spell) or his own CR?

Burgee hurls a ball of flame towards R5 as Kauil stabs at the same raptor, both trying to take the beast down.

(To Nunberry: Book Rules Wise, its based on the creatures CR. Which is why you can't turn some commoner into a T-Rex to wreck a town normally. Or the potentially even more broken turning a familiar into a big scary monster. B/c there is 0 risk of bestial instincts/personality having things go bad)
"Seems finding this leader would bring about a swift end to this." Gustav replies as he lays into the next raptor before doing a quick look around for a tree to scale up to start looking around for the caller. "Guss! Release the Hound!" He calls out just before potentially "disappearing" from sight into the trees. Nin turns himself into a whirling dervish of blades after taking out a second handaxe.
Ka dark souls roll back abruptly, disengaging from any nearby threats. Then as he came back up, it is to fire upon one of Viola's attackers. Meanwhile, a roughed up Guss rapidly grows less hairier(3 overflow damage), though the loss ape fingers grew back as lizardy stubs. Hearing the call from the aged Tabaxi, a deep hiss turns into a bestial growl as green fur bursts from about his form. In seconds, a massive wolf stood in place of the lizardfolk, ready tear immediately into raptor caught between Guss and Zein.
At some point or another, Wonder sung a single, unbroken note before going *poof* disappearing from view.

(sorry Nunberry i HAD answered your question but apparently it didn't go through.. but the answer is yes - he will get his own attack turn. And he moves on your initiative. And what he can become is based on your CR)
R4 is suddenly dropped as a sharp pain goes through Vola's mind, dropping the raptor on the ground (11) landing prone, and disoriented for a moment. Then casts Mirror Images on herself for added protection.
Burgee hurls two streaks of flame at R5, nearly incinerating it, it manages to survive, but is clearly on it's very last leg.
R6 is skewered right through it's head, piercing it's brain, killing it instantly. Nin slashes R1, finishing it off, before flowing with the momentum just as R4 falls to the ground, slashing it as well as R1 died. Nearly finishing it off. Ka retreats and fires at R3 with Gus morphing and finishing off R4. Wonder vanishes from sight, and prepares something deep.
Era whips the shit out of R7, pulling it 10 feet closer as the thorns dig in. Minos casts one missile at the fallen raptor, finishing it off, while the other two missiles went to R3 and R2, also killing R3 in the process.
the raptors leap at and attempts to finish off R7, followed by his brothers, but they all fail,the other raptor somehow dodging or deflecting blows.
Zein slashing out at R2, trying to finish it off. Attack: 17 Damage: 28 - Attack: 11 Damage: 27
6 - 4 (made a mistake on his rolls) the first blow landing solidly, but the raptor avoiding the second, managing to maintain its existence.
Finally, crashing through the tree's, a Massive Raptor, roughly the size of a tall human, with a vibrant color appears, shining in shades of green followed by another one on the opposite side.. The Alpha Male and Female. (30 - 27)
R2 claws and bites at Gus, rallied by the presence of its parents, and alphas. Attack: 8 Damage: 5 + Attack: 11 Damage: 8 but failing utterly on both.
R7 going after (3) now Attack: 6 Damage: 5 + Attack: 20 Damage: 7
with R8 following up on (3) Attack: 17 Damage: 4 + Attack: 3 Damage: 8 and finishing it off.
R8 (the previous was supposed to be 7 but editing would manip rolls..) charges and leaps at Era Attack: 5 Damage: 4 + Attack: 19 Damage: 6 two razor sharp claws dig into Era's chest, though it didn't build up enough speed to try to knock her over, she however blocks it's bite.
Malpha (aka '1') charges full force at Gus - Attack: 6 Damage: 11 (check Vs 11 (19 - 6) sinking its massive razor claws into Gus, but in a moment of adrenaline, from the sheer terror of the creature, Gus manages to throw it off before it can pin him, the raptor landing on it's side, and losing the rest of it's turn, landing prone (adv vs it)
Falpha (seen as '2') Dives at Era Attack: 17 Damage: 13 it's claws sinking deep into her back, almost hitting her lungs (Save Vs 2 - 5) Era, much like Gus, panics with adrenaline, and finds an immense amount of strength, ducking down, and grabbing the raptor by its legs with blinding speed just as its claws exited her wounds, throwing it to the ground on the opposite side of where it came from. Also losing the rest of it's turn.
