(I think in d&d their a demigod-level celestial creature... I'm sure there's a stat block for one in the monster manual or associated WotC appendices.)
Cade - Having been turned into...he didn't know what, but his instincts suddenly kicked in and he flew his full movement of 80ft toward the enemy determined to get there and to cause damage.
As the heroes regroup, and recover their falling comrade, another wave of arrows flies! This time, responding yet more roars in red draconic, the arrows have but one target - Saerrira's swiftly plummeting eagle, whose heroic acrobatics and swift spellcasting saved the falling Uther! AC on Saerrira's eagle is a clean 17, at the moment, but undeterred, the shots fly...
(I tally 48 damage coming in at Saerrira's eagle, leading to another bird down and now two heroes plummeting in open air! Or would Uther still have featherfall on him, despite having been picked up by Saerrira's eagle? Not sure how Grotex will want to rule that one.)
Cade the Quetzalcoatlus dives down (you can actually take a dash action and move 160feet down towards Saerrira and Uther)
As Saerrira casts Feather Fall on Uther, her Eagle is shot down by a barrage of arrows! The 6th volley outright kills it...
END OF ROUND 3!
BEGINNING OF ROUND 4!
1) Before anyone goes, anyone with a passive perception of 15 or higher notices some chaotic movement down below. Team Evil, you immediately hear the familiar battle cries of Dwarves, but not of the Granit Clan...an entire company of 100 mixed unafiliated Dwarves wearing only light armor and farmers tools are charging towards the Red Dragon Clan's position, led by an even stranger Commander...a medium sized Humanoid Dog, standing on 2 Legs, wearing a shiny suit of full plate armor, and wielding a sword and shield. Sticking up from his back, a glorious Banner flapping in the wind, depicting a familiar armored Chicken over a Tavern and Mountain. At his side, an old, fully armored Dwarf, covered in scars, who bears the colors of the Iron Clan...
The Dog shouts out "There they are! These wretched Lizards have been plaguing these Lands for far too long! With me, brave Knights! Time to shine! For the Three Peaks, and a free Talaveroth!!!!"
The Dwarves charge into the grove of Trees where the Dragonborn archers have positionned themselves, and collide with the Ennemy. A fury of Axes, Hammers, pitchforks, spears and Javelins clashes with the Draconic swords, fangs, claws and fire breath. Within seconds, the entire grove catches fire, as 100 Dwarves start battling 100 Dragonborns....(OOC they rolled a 21 on INITIATIVE) and the Airforce coming in hot with Boulders...
2) Saerrira takes her action to jump off her plummeting Eagle, onto Uther's back as he is Feather falling down slowly towards the flaming carnage below...they are still 340 feet up
Team Evil may take their actions, but is now actively engaged in melee with the Dwarves. We Will resolve this on the pm thread shortly, then I will describe the results here.
3)Laeivis, Cade, Peshley, Uther and Gorlahk take their actions.
The Airforce comes in
4) End of round 4 (the Dragonborn archers are a little too busy to shoot divided coordinated volleys at the moment...)
Peshley (Who does not meet the passive perception roll) Turns to face back to the battle site. No arrows have flown in her direction recently and she feels safe, at least for the moment. As she turns she sees the two dead eagles falling and Saerrira and Uther dropping, clearly under the influence of feather fall. Seeing her friends in danger, Peshley urges her eagle back toward them as quickly as she can (Dash), even though she doubts she can get there in time.
OOC: Laievis does have Perception 16 but does not understand the result of attack - did last volley hit his eagle?
Ground troops were here and probably eagles were safe now. Laievis will try to land (big flat ark) aiming to get a touch aside from the battlefield, let eagle fly away and run to the battle.
Cade - Hearing the yell for help from Saerrira takes a dash action and moves 160feet down towards Saerrira and Uther in the hopes to catch them before they fall.
Uther freefalls for the second time, he yells to Saerrira " Hold on !" he then stretches his jacket open to create some kind of wind resistance to slow their drop, as one of their group members catches up.
OOC: Sorry, the actors in my "theatre of mind" got confused about their places. Could you please give a recap of where are we all in relation to Dragonborn, dwarven army and each other?
(I would endeavor to give a recap, but I fear I must leave that to Grotex, who truly holds all the cards while juggling the flaming chainsaws that are each of our respective threads.)
First off, to answer Blue Bayou's question, the final volley was focused entirely on Saerrira's Eagle, so Laievis and everyone else were safe from it.
Now ROUND 4 RECAP
1) Sir Pebbles, Shorgreg and the Dwarves come out of nowhere, charging the Dragonborns down below.
2) Saerrira jumps onto Uther's back as he feather falls.
3) Down below, anyone with a passive of 15 or higher sees the Dragonborns drop their bows and grab their swords and shields. And as the Dwarves charge in, they are met with a whirlwind of steel and fire. Several of them get decapitated and burned alive in the process...
Amidst the Chaos of Battle, through the flames, Pebbles and Shorgreg charge towards the Dragonborn Commander and his Tortle Commander, who unleashes two arrows aimed at Quetzalcoatlus Cade, and BARELY misses...the sheer force of the gust of wind caused by the arrow as it flies inches away from his face is enough to know that, had the arrow found its target, it would have hurt very very badly...
Pebbles freezes as he sees the Tortle. "You...you are not one of Them! You don't have to do this! The Tortles are Creatures of Legends! You could help bring these Lands back to the Light!"
As Shorgreg dashes towards the Dragonborn Commander, he is met with two mighty swings from his Great Sword. The first one tears through the Dwarf's chest plate, drawing blood. Shorgreg grunts in pain, and stumbles back. A second swing, but he parries it with his War hammer, causing a metallic clank audible for a mile radius.
4) Peshley, Laieivis, Quetzalcoatlus Cade (OOC: new Pokemon evolution?😂) and Gorlahk all took the full move action (160 feet down), almost moving as a true squadron in combat formation, with Laeivis and Peshley at the "Spearhead" of it, since they were lowest . Gorlahk is shouting to Uther "Damnit! Hang in there mate, we're comin' to getcha!", as the icy wind is battering his cheeks on his way down. Laievis and Peshley are the first ones to catch up with Uther and Saerrira (470 feet last round, minus 160feet this round, and Saerrira and Uther are at 340feet this round)
With Saerrira on his back, Uther feather falls 10 feet down, using his coat as a makeshift parachute to try and slow down his fall even more, gliding gently in the storm, getting a full panoramic view of the battle below, and of the first wave of 15 Alliance Eagles, flying over the Battle, and start dropping large boulders on isolated groups of Dragonborns. 5 of them get crushed to death in the process, along with several trees. A voice in all of Team1's heads shouts "Regroup now, while the second wave comes in!" Commander Bilian is riding at the head of the First reinforcement wave.
Uther and Saerrira may use their movement to gently land on Laievis/Peshley's Eagles. Just tell me who's riding with who
Peshley's poney-unicorn manages to get to Uther's plummeting Eagle, and touches it with its horn....the Eagle awakens, and starts flapping his wings again!
END OF ROUND 4!
Altitudes at the end of the round (from lowest to highest):
1) Ground troops
2) Alliance Airforce (100feet)
3) Pony/Uther's Eagle (290 feet)
4) Uther/Saerrira/Peshley/Laieivis (340 feet)
5) Gorlahk/Quetzalcoatlus Cade (390 feet)
6) Cade's Eagle/Ellethi (605 feet)
ROUND 5 BEGINS NOW!
1) Pebbles/Shorgreg/ Allied ground troops
2) Saerrira
3) Bad Guys
4) Cade/Laievis/Peshley/Uther/Gorlahk
5) Alliance Air force
1) The Dwarven charge now truly impacts the Dragonborn soldiers, as axes, hammers and pitchforks manage to get through some of their armor. 6 Dragonborns hit the dirt.
Shorgreg swings 3 times at the Dragonborn commander: 16 (8damage)-21(11 damage)-14(6damage)
Pebbles is still talking to the Tortle : "Please, I beg of you, I wish not to harm a Creature so rare...join us, and help bring peace to Talaveroth!"
When someone dropped on his eagle (or on Peshley's) Laievis tried to over-shout wind: "We can try to land by the battle near dwarves and begin to fight. Or we can fly now directly to the Red Dragonborn, while his minions occupied with dwarves and try to take him down!"
The I guess Laievis and Saerirra are aiming at the Red Dragonborn. If/when distance allows, Laievis will shoot: Attack: 13 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll. + 6 Inspiration to attack.
The I guess Laievis and Saerirra are aiming at the Red Dragonborn. If/when distance allows, Laievis will shoot: Attack: 28 Damage: 9 + 1 Inspiration to attack.
(What distance did you travel? We were at 340ft, now how far are we?)
(Well...If I recall from Final Fantasy they were a lighting bird...am I close?)

(Wow....)
Saerirra will hop piggyback onto Uther with Featherfall still on him.
"Cade! Some cover please!"
Begging her Ally for defense from the arrows as she and Uther float down to the ground.
OOC: Wowie...what a round...
Cade the Quetzalcoatlus dives down (you can actually take a dash action and move 160feet down towards Saerrira and Uther)
As Saerrira casts Feather Fall on Uther, her Eagle is shot down by a barrage of arrows! The 6th volley outright kills it...
