[Unless combat halts, there isn't enough time in 1 turn to have a full conversation, so that's as much as it can respond.]
Arryn it's your turn. There're 2 drakes and a talking stalactite in the southern pit left, though the talking stalactite seems at least somewhat amenable to not eating your group.
As Arryn: Arryn will grab the gate key from Fjordix and head to open the gate up so the team can deal with the drakes. He also tells the talking stalactite, "Just to be clear, I'm not coming over here for you, just them," pointing at the drakes, "and if they die, well then, more fresh meat for you, am I right?"
If she can, Novot will sidle up to Fjordix and try to block the stairway (to keep the drakes from escaping and to take some of the heat from Fjordix). She swings with her hammer at a drake [ATT: 14, DMG: 5]

[The stairs are only 5 feet wide, and with Fjordix and Arryn already on the steps, it's a bit crowded. If you're willing to risk an opportunity attack from one of the drakes, you can push past everyone and go through the gate and into the pit.]
"Keep sweet-talking, Arryn!" She casts Guidance on Arryn (or whoever's taking point on persuading the talking stalactite to be pro-us). She then moves behind Fjordix. "Get behind me when you start to wind."
[Sorry guys - that's all I've really got. Novot's all out of spells, and her cantrips are utility.]
[Sorry for the delay. We're in the end stages of building and buying our first home (closing on Monday) and all the last minute details and packing is insane. I'll probably be posting intermittently the rest of this week and likely not at all next week.]
Arliden says to the drakes, "You're so stup...you know, they probably can't understand me, but I guess the spell doesn't need them too. Huh, you know that's kinda odd," then he just flips the drake off.
[vicious mockery: DC 14 WIS save or takes 4 psychic damage and has disadvantage on its next attack.]
The drakes are unexpectedly caught up by the stalactite's tendrils and lifted 25 feet in the air. The gravelly voice says, "If you can prove to me that you are, in fact, the 'new management' around here and that I can have all the fresh meat I want, then I might as well start with these. If you're lying to me, though, you're next."

[The gate is open. Fjordix may make his readied attack.]
Fjordix swings in at one of the drakes!
Attack: 12 Damage: 11
If it critically hits or kills the drake then bonus action attack
Attack: 15 Damage: 6
Fjordix's first attack misses the drake.
Novot, it's your turn.
[Sorry for being MIA, everyone!]

[WIS Save: 11]
The drakes attack Fjordix as he stands at the bottom of the steps.
Attack 1 (with disadvantage): 12 for8 piercing damage.
Attack 2: 14 for 5 piercing damage.
The tendrils on the stalactite writhe for a moment and suddenly lash out.
Tendril 1: 19
Tendril 2: 24
Tendril 3 (if at least one miss): 13
Tendril 4 (if at least one miss): 21
The drakes are unexpectedly caught up by the stalactite's tendrils and lifted 25 feet in the air. The gravelly voice says, "If you can prove to me that you are, in fact, the 'new management' around here and that I can have all the fresh meat I want, then I might as well start with these. If you're lying to me, though, you're next."
Novot looks at the charismatic ones. "Think the blue guy's body would do the trick?"

"There all yours big man."
"One of you bring back some of this fresh meat, then I'll let the rest of you go."
