Isokratos turns right as the explosion hits and stares, in shock and horror.
Good job watching the professor, genius.
"Shut up!" The Nautilid pushes the voices of his ancestors down and lumbers over to the epicenter of the blast, to look for survivors and in particular, to find the halflings. Isokratos silently cursed himself again for not following his instincts.
"Where are ya, pal? I just wanna talk." Isokratos scans the scene of devastation, hand resting lightly on his swarm pistol.

The blast almost completely destroys the back wall, sending people, chairs, Orryn's inventions and notes, and an entire piano flying through the air. Maker and his drone, despite being so close to the blast, are actually rather safe, as it seemed to be much more focused on the area just behind the Professor, and fanned out from there, leaving them in the (relatively) safe zone. The halflings in the front row are saved by their short stature, as the front of the stage shields them, and Tiberius Vinter gives no shits about any explosions, taking it with barely a flinch. Lysandra in the second row is also saved by her thick suit and weight. The Professor, the Skathari, the Amoeboid, and the Dwarf are less lucky. The explosion catches them entirely off guard, and they are blasted to the ground by the shockwave.
(Everyone who rolled 14 or higher makes the save, taking 7 force damage. Anyone who rolled lower than that takes 14 force damage and is knocked prone. Map and initiative coming soon.)
Initiative:
Mr. Killagob Tiberius Vinter Professor Orryn Talfough-Gogglefogger Kenny and Kiri(Identical initiative! How appropriate.) Lysandra and Ember Fezzik Horus-Lux Isokratos Dwarf(unconscious) Elf Maker Jimmy and Helio-Horus
Mr. Killagob is the first to react, yelling out an expletive, dodge rolling into the ruins of a booth, and drawing his blaster. Tiberius follows after, two half ruined chairs in his hands, which he piles up to create more cover for the halfling(half cover). Orryn coughs loudly and gets shakily to his feet, stumbling blindly among the dust and debris. He begins to make his way out the hole in the back wall, coughing and limping. Kiri and Kenny both climb up onto the stage and head towards the hole as well, Kiri seemingly running after the professor while Kenny hightails it in a completely different direction. Ember stumbles around, searching for their datapad among the debris. They manage to locate it, though its screen is badly cracked. Lysandra pulls out her weapon, a three barreled ion cannon, and points it at the hiding Mr. Killagob, firing a shot out of one of its barrels.
Attack: 15 Damage: 16
The shot completely obliterates his cover, but leaves the dapper halfling unharmed.
(Fezzik, Isokratos, and Horus-Lux are up. Also, upon further consideration, I think a map is unnecessary. The map is incredibly changed, and almost everyone is within range of one another, so it doesn't really matter.)
Isokratos moves to stop Kiri -- standing five feet in front of her and blocking her off from the professor. He draws his laser sword.
He use his bonus action to Warden's Mark her (imposes disadvantage on any attacks that do not target him) and will use his action to make himself big and imposing and Intimidate her.
"Whatever Killagob has you and your brother doing, Madam Vice President, surely it ain't worth the trouble you are causing yourself right now. Back down."

Save: 16
Kiri Freezes in place as Horus-Lux shouts, his voice amplified by the power of the Sun Above. Meanwhile, Fezzik scrambles after Kenny, and manages to close the distance between him and the short-legged halfling.
Death Save: 6
The dwarf's not dead yet. The elf steps back and makes sure she doesn't go the way of the dwarf, summoning translucent plates of armor to cover her body.

Maker is temporarily blinded by the explosion but otherwise relatively unharmed. Upon senses returning Maker observes that the majority of the room appears to be in conflict with one of the halflings and a half-orc. Quickly deducing that said individuals must be the cause of these most recent events the vect leaps into action, pointing a finger towards the half orc and releasing a blast of arcane energy in its direction (Finger Guns cantrip)
Attack: 12 Damage: 8
After releasing the attack the construct moves to place itself between the professor and the rest of the room, similarly to Horus-Lux and provides an extra protection, casting Geodesic Shield and causing a pyramid of glowing orange plates to form a casing over them.

Maker lands a hit of Tiberius Vinter, but the imposing half-orc does not flinch in the slightest, and if he's feeling any pain he does not show it.
Helio Horus draws his sword and moves up to the stage, besides the professor.
"I'll take the professor to safety. You stay here."
Tiberius Vinter calmly draws a massive repeater, points it at maker, and squeezes the trigger twice.
Attack: 23 Damage: 8
Attack: 20 Damage: 9
Both shots hit the dome of force squarely, obliterating it. Tiberius then pulls out his tri-barrel impactor cannon and fires off a powerful round at Lysandra.
Attack: 12 Damage: 22
Mr. Killagob also fires his repeater twice at the nautilid.
Attack: 20 Damage: 7
Attack: 10 Damage: 8
Lysandra manages to duck out of the way with startling speed for a creature of her size, and the shots bore several scorched holes in the ground where she was a second before.
The Professor continues stumbling away, guided by Helio-Horus.
Kenny keeps running away from Fezzik until he suddenly freezes and falls to the ground, unmoving. Kiri also freezes as a result of Horus-Lux's spell, though she does not fall over.
Ember runs to the door and changes shape, squeezing under it, leaving their clothing and grenade belts behind. Lysandra returns fire, blasting shots at both the half orc and the halfling.

Even though Killagob's cover is completely gone, Lysandra still manages to smash it even more into oblivion.
Fezzik makes a grasping motion with his hand and lifts it up. He uses Negate Mass (levitate) on Kenny to lift him to the middle of the floor and ceiling. DC 12 Con save
"That was very dangerous! You should not be playing with magic! Look at all the people you've hurt!"
