Petcan's spell/attack does indeed hit and the green flame jumps over to the other Chuul, the initial strike with the weapon only does 17 damage as the +4 bonus is only added to the weapon's damage and not the green flame damage.
Zenodor is automatically Grappled if hit, the save was to see if he was also Poisoned and therefore Paralyzed but he isn't as he made the DC 13 save.

Tempe attacks twice again with his bolts staying away from these monsters Attack: 13 Damage: 8 Attack: 15 Damage: 9
Tempe then moves within five foot of Zendor
Then Pinky flies in next to Zendor Fiery Teleportation. The spirit and each willing creature of your choice within 5 feet of it teleport up to 15 feet to unoccupied spaces you can see. Then each creature within 5 feet of the space that the spirit left must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC15 or take 5
taking Z and everyone within 5ft including himself out of the grip of the tentacle away from the Chuul Pinky proceeds upwards moving away from the creature
Tempe asks anxiously "Do you think this thing can sense our power?" as he moves further back
Tempe's 1st attack misses anyway so no need for another roll, but can you make another attack roll for the 2nd attack. Also, pick a direction that Pinky teleports to (either forward, backward, left, right, or name a more specific direction) with Tempe, Zenodor and Irraxan.
Zenodor, please make that Perception roll.

@Zenodor
You noticed the Chuul came right toward you as if it could see you in the magical darkness, but then it flailed wildly trying to hit you as if it was blind and got lucky on one of the hits.
@Temp
Sorry, this one is my mistake, I should not have given you the option to move backward. With pbp or theatre of the mind it's easy to lose track of things sometimes. Zenodor and Irraxan are cloaked in a thin crescent of magical darkness which is now at the rear of the party. Pinky moved up next to it and can actually teleport the same group (Pinky, Tempe, Zenodor, and Irraxan) in any other direction except backward.

Bow takes aim at Chuul 2 for 3 quick shots:
Attack 1: 18 Damage: 19
Attack 2: 20 Damage: 18
BA Attack: 9 Damage: 21
When I damage it I will use brand of castigation; it will take 3 psychic damage each time it hits me or one of my friends within 5ft.
((At 6th level, whenever you damage a creature with your Crimson Rite feature, you can choose to sear an arcane brand of hemocraft magic into it (requires no action). You always know the direction to the branded creature, and each time the branded creature deals damage to you or a creature you can see within 5 feet of you, the creature takes psychic damage equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1 damage).
Your brand lasts until you dismiss it, or you apply a brand to another creature. Your brand counts as a spell for the purposes of dispel magic, and the spell level is equal to half of your blood hunter level (maximum of 9th level spell).
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.))

Having teleported out of the Chuul's grasp thanks to Pinky, Z tries to increase the distance between himself and the nearest Chuul by moving upwards (flying speed from magic boots) as far as possible, at least 20ft upwards if there is space. If there is no room above to fly upwards, he will move awayas far as possible (so Chuul would at least trigger opportunity attack from the rest of the party if it follows). (Eldtrich blast has a 120ft range, so best to keep away from melee range)
Z then let loose bolts of Eldritch energy at the creature.
Bolt 1: Attack: 21 Damage: 10
Bolt 2: Attack: 25 Damage: 7
As a bonus action, Z uses Telekinetic Shove. DC15 on the Chuul, or it is pushed 5ft away in the opposite direction. So, with the original teleport of 15ft, Z's flying speed of 30ft, and potentially a 5ft shove, Z should now be a safe 45-50ft away from this Chuul. Not sure what the layout is, ideally this should be vertically if there is space in the cave. If not, in whichever direction puts Z furthest away from both this Chuul and its buddy.
Bow's well placed bolts from his hand crossbow fell Chuul 2 and it slumps lifeless to the ground.
Zenodor is freed from the grapple by teleportation and able to maneuver to a safe distance before firing some bolts of his own, these being Eldritch in nature. Both strike the remaining Chuul and it reels from the magical assault.
(Z can have Irraxan change it's action, or have it follow you with the darkness... post whichever you choose, or anything different it does.)

I was sticking with separate Initiative for Irraxan for the duration of this encounter unless we want to change half-way through. so Irraxan still does:
Irraxan does not do anything interesting beyond staying near Z to share both with magical darkness.
... except that Zenodor who cast the Darkness failed his concentration, so the darkness has dissipated. Next time it's Irraxan's turn, Irraxan was goign to move to the nearest Chuul and provide Help action giving whoever next attacks it Advantage on the roll.
Irraxan is still naturally invisible - although I don't know how that work with creatures that can sense magic. They may be able to see Irraxan anyway.

If the 1st attack hits Randall is Grappled and needs to make a DC 13 CON save or be Poisoned for 1 minute.
While Poisoned Randall is also Paralyzed and can make a save at the end of his turn to end the effect.
(Once the attacks and saves have been resolved, Randall is up.)

OOC: Sorry, missed that one.
First attack hits, second misses.
DC13 throw against grappling: 16
Darkness is a concentration spell, so DC10 (higher than 1/2 damage) roll to keep up the Darkness: 2
So, Z is not grappled, but has lost concentration on the Magical Darkness spell which dissipates

OOC
Sorry, what check am I mean to be doing for Z?
I thought Z is grappled but passed the roll so is not poisoned. Concentration failed, so that spell is out.
I don't think Z gets to roll to escape from the grapple until his turn, does he? Or was there another check I still need to make?
You can make a Perception check.
Everything else is good.
