Meanwhile, within earshot, Zindra Winterbow smiles again at Nirzeg. “That’s my entire purpose for being here! I don’t come cheap, mind you, but you won’t find a better guide in the Savage Frontier. If you’re interested, my cost is 10 gold pieces per day, regardless of the danger. Talk it over with your group; I’m staying here until the day after tomorrow, unless I’m hired before then.”
"Milady, I don't /do/ cheap."Nirzeg smiles playfully. "I'll make sure that they agree it will be all worthwhile. See you later."Nirzeg slides out of his seat with the remainder of his order, and a pep in his step. The shriek from outside gets only a passing glance in interest at first. But seeing some brave souls at least rush outside in a hurry, he sighs and sets his food and drink off to the side to see through his familiar's eyes still seated at the rooftop outside.
Githitiative: 10.
"Now let's see just what's all the... Oh... Well that's unfortunate. Wait. Free advertisement! This is perfect." And so, he comes out of the vision to walk outside to the door.

// Alus and Genny are up first; Astra is on deck after some enemies go. The gargoyles are flying through the air, going no higher than 30 feet before swooping to ground level and shoving objects or harassing people. They are not murdering anyone, but it’s clear that people are absolutely terrified. //
// You can be anywhere from 50-100 feet from the kerfuffle. We are going theater of the mind for now, and I’ll work on getting a map up in case things get complicated :) //
Alus sees that the gargoyles are mostly remaining airborne.
"Not cool, guys. Come on down so we can talk about this."
Alus approaches slowly, raising his spear into the air and his eyes go white. Suddenly, the air around the gargoyles turns grey and cold, and freezing rain batters them from all sides, obscuring their vision and making it difficult to fly.
[Alus casts Sleet Storm, placing the 20ft tall 40ft wide cylinder in the center of the kerfuffle, positioned so the bottom of the cylinder is 10ft above the ground. The area is heavily obscured, and when a creature enters the spell's area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a DC14 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, it falls prone.]

Genny’s eyes narrow at the sight of the creatures causing havoc to these towns people but they widen at the sudden snow storm. Her eyebrow knit together as she raises an arm, pointer finger out, casting two beams of Eldritch Blast on the gargoyle not on the ground.
One beam: Attack: 23 Damage: 6
Two beam: Attack: 17 Damage: 9

Beams of energy fly toward the gargoyle flying under the cloud, the first a glancing blow that distracts it from pulling on a terrified man’s hair, and the second beam going wide. The gargoyle identifies the source of the hits quickly and flies toward Genny, cursing in its grating, primordial language.
Bite Attack: 21 Damage: 8 piercing
Claw Attack: 18 Damage: 4 slashing
The other still-airborne gargoyle, caught momentarily in the sleet storm, flies above it so that it can identify these new interlopers, currently taking the dodge action.
// Astra is up! One gargoyle is attacking Genny, one is up in the air above the sleet storm, and two are on the ground prone under the sleet storm. All four are visible //
After preferably making sure he was at least 30ft from the action, Nirzeg whips out a mechanical looking wand that extends mid-motion and points it to Astra. "Uhhh, you! Lady with the silver hair. You might feel a slight tingly sensation in your buttocks. But do not worry, it will get better." A few wand waves later and both Astra and the wand glow ghoulish green as the former's size rapidly doubles in nearly an instance, weapons in all.
The Monkey from earlier than flies in to help keep at least one of the stone head's distracted, and giving at one person advantage!
Action: Casting the The Embiggening on Astra, giving her the Enlarge portion of it.

Derrikoth charges in on his horse, shouting messages to the citizens all around, "Fear not, civilians! I shall save you!"
As he reaches the kerfuffle he lays into the gargoyle on the ground with his lance, marking it with his unwavering mark. (Derrikoth attacks at 10 ft out and after his two attacks steps 5 ft away from the gargoyle).
Alus shoots a glance towards the now-enlarged Astra.
"Woah. Big lady."
Thinking that at that size she can likely handle herself, he turns his attention to blue dragonborn and the gargoyle assailing him.
"Not cool, dude."
Suddenly, a transparent blue anchor appears floating above the gargoyle attacking Derrikoth, dangling from a spectral chain attached to nothing. The anchor drops as if its winch were suddenly released, and it plummets onto the head of the gargoyle, and then retracts back up and hovers in place. As it does, a wreath of radiant blue fire forms around the gargoyle, and then erupts.
"Attention stone flying dudes. There is no need for further violence. Leave now, and may Valkur's kindest winds trace your flight back home."
“I believe most men enjoy women with bigger bosoms and derrières anyway.” Genevieve replies back nonchalantly before casting off another spell where she could catch the most enemies.
Shatter make a CON save of 14 or get dealt 8 thunder damage or half on a successful save. A creature made of inorganic material such as stone, crystal, or metal has disadvantage on this saving throw.

The gargoyle attacking Derrikoth is pelted with magical attacks from multiple angles, finishing with Genny's shattering spell, which breaks off a large chunk of rock, damaging its hindquarters. The spell also catches the high-up gargoyle, which covers its ears and yells terran curses at the spellcasting construct.
Meanwhile, the gargoyle attacking Genny renews its assault, and seeing Astra instantly grow several sizes larger, decides to go and try to bite at Astra's ankles.

Derrikoth’s lance jabs into the gargoyle, but its rocky exterior resists the force from the weapon.
The gargoyle leaps up and flies into Derrikoth’s face, howling something in Terran. It attacks with its teeth, and then tries to grapple Derrikoth.
