BB feels both body and mind momentarily lock up, but he loosens his grip on the font of chaos that he's kept bottled up in side and he feels the frigid immobility flow away in a flood of warmth. If he were to glance down, he'd be able to confirm that the flood of warmth did NOT coincide with him wetting himself. What a relief!
The leader stays put, but shrieks and gibbers back over its shoulder toward the ruin... and is answered in kind.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Keller moves around to try to flank his huge hulking hanger-on with Bolt (I think?). "You just won't take no for an answer, will you?" he says, putting his crossbow on the ground and, hands empty, conjuring psychic blades in both hands. He tries some distraction and feinting as he looks for an opening to shiv this giant pest.
Keller and Larry's minds (or at least magi-mech processors) are wracked with pain as Keller's first blow lands on the hulking figure, which twitches a leg that Keller struck.
((Keller and Larry both take 15 psychic damage, would Keller pull up on the second blow, or follow through?))

Bolt continues 15' NW and 5' N. As she closes on the big creature, she grows drastically, matching the thing's own size (Giant's Might as a bonus action), heft her axe to strike despite the others seemingly hurting after it being struck. "Bit of a level playing field now, eh?"

I'm going to roll it separate this time and say it goes on the first swing's damage if it has to be declared before attacking.))

((Yeah, it's worded differently from sneak attack to where I could be a strict reading meaning you decide which attack it applies to, but I think that's less fun if it means some % of the time you guess wrong and apply it to a miss. I haven't looked up if anyone has broken it down one way or the other, but I'll say you can apply it after you make an attack that hits.

The large, muscular hulking figure gets hit from multiple sides as Bolt swells in size and manages to hit with her second swing, while Black snarls and bite at its calf and Grandpa blasts it while Keller beats a bit of a retreat.
Larry uncorks a few swings at the glowing hulk, while Bryn keeps up his pursuit of the leader.

A gout of flame erupts from Larry's first punch as it connects, the roiling fire swirling around and avoiding Bolt and Black. He backhands the creature's lower back with a sharp blow, and drives a knee up into the leg of the enemy. The hulking creature moans in pain, unsteady on its feet, but seems determined to destroy the little ones (and one normal sized one) that are plaguing it.
Across the battlefield, BB feels a cool breeze as icy rime forms over the leader, its crooked and sigil-etched teeth chattering.
The muscular hulk bellows in the leader's direction before swinging wild, sweeping blows at all three of the party that are around it.
Reaping Arm Attack vs Black: 19 Damage: 16, plus a DEX save if it hits. Reaping Arm Attack vs Bolt: 12 Damage: 12, plus a DEX save if it hits. Reaping Arm Attack vs Larry: 25 Damage: 15, plus a DEX save if it hits.
