Dropped Rock vs. Uragum (Disadvantage-Sunlight Sensitivity): 15Damage: 9 Dropped Rock vs. Uragum (Disadvantage-Sunlight Sensitivity): 11Damage: 9
Sylyra's canine jowls close in on the jugular of another kobold, but the tide is overwhelming. Even as the second kobold's lifeblood drains out, four others are upon him, thrusting their daggers into his flank and forcing him out of his animal form. The remaining fail to get theirs past Ola's sturdy armor as she keeps them at bay with her sword. Hex remains unconscious behind her.
The flying kobolds cackle as they dodge Uragum's magic, throwing two more jagged stones upon his skull. The missiles rain off as the goliath's face quickly becomes a mask of blood.
Round 3 Order: Enemies Players <=====
Placement: Ola and Sylyra are engaged in melee combat with six kobolds. Two winged kobolds are flying 30 feet above Uragum.
Health: Hex is unconscious and dying (1 success, 0 failures). Uragum is badly wounded. Ola is lightly wounded. Sylyra is lightly wounded.
OOC: I'm considering Hex, Ola, and Sylyra all in the same area of combat with the kobolds, so no opportunity attack against Ola for moving toward Hex. Hex will be conscious with 4 HP this round and can take her turn.
Upon coming back to consciousness, Hex thanks Ola for the heal and immediately runs as far as she can, away from the group. As she runs, she pulls out her Longbow and aims it at a Kobold closest to Sylyra to cast Hunter's Mark.
Action: Disengage
Movement: 30ft away from the kobolds, preferably also in a different direction from Uragum.
Barty, I'm going to have to rely on you for this. Moonbeam can hit four squares at once. Are there kobolds in all four of those squares? Let's hope so!
Mutt-Sylyra's growl thins and turns into a whine as the druid's body once more shivers as the wildshape magic is bled from him by the rain of blades. Fur disappears. Snout and claws retract. Legs and arms grow. In almost an instant, Sylyra the elf stands within the fray once again. He see Ola move to Hex out of the corner of his eye, but he does not let his sight stray from the mob of tiny cold-bloods. He waves his staff and chants a quick incantation. The sprig of mistletoe tied to the end of his woody companion glows and drips motes of light. Despite the sun, a searing beam of moonlight falls down in the midst of the kobolds in an attempt to burn the lot of them.
Action: moonbeam — DC14 CON save or take 17 radiant damage (those who start their turn in it or move into it during their turn)
OOC: For theater of the mind combat, I typically use the table from the DMG that says a cylinder can target a number of creatures equal to its radius divided by 5, which would be 1 for a moonbeam. However, because there are so many kobolds in such a small area, they're Small sized, and all utilizing Pack Tactics, I'm going to say that it fits 3 in this case.

A pair of kobolds nearly disintegrates in radiant light as Sylyra focuses a cylinder of light down upon them; a third is badly scarred by the searing light. The elf feels a punch in his calf, seeing a dagger has been added to his body as an accessory by a fourth kobold.
Ola's armor protects her from the blades of the remaining pair, giving her enough time to jar Hex back to consciousness, and the ranger darts away from the fray while Uragum moves closer. The goliath takes another stone to the face from one of the flying kobolds, but the second of the winged creatures shouts Draconic curses as his hand catches in his pouch of rocks, upturning it and spilling the rest of his ammunition to the ground below.
Round 4 Order: Enemies Players <=====
Placement: Hex is 30 feet away from Ola and Sylyra and 40 feet away from Uragum. Ola and Sylyra are engaged in melee combat with four kobolds, 30 feet away from Hex and 10 feet away from Uragum.

Health: One kobold fighting Sylyra is badly wounded.
Hex is badly wounded. Sylyra is badly wounded. Uragum is badly wounded. Ola is lightly wounded.
Thank you for your help, DM. I'll take what I can get!
Sylyra growls again, this time using his elf voice. Trying to keep his mind from swimming, he swings his arm around to move his moonbeam in an effort to fry some more kobolds. At the same time, he reaches deep into his connection with nature and summons a spirit. Leaves, petals, pebbles and other bits of nature are swept up by a localized wind eddy and gathered into a swirling and dancing cluster in the center of the four adventurers. The mass of constantly-moving debris coalesces and becomes more distinctly bear-shaped. The bear spirit rises onto its back legs, paws at the air, and silently roars. Immediately, Sylyra and his three companions feel a little stronger.
Action: move moonbeam to hopefully hit three more kobolds (fingers crossed)
Bonus: Spirit totem:
Bear Spirit. The bear spirit grants you and your allies its might and endurance. Each creature of your choice in the aura when the spirit appears gains temporary hit points equal to 5 + your druid level (8 total). In addition, you and your allies gain advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws while in the aura.
OOC: Botting Uragum for this round with Frostbite against a flying kobold. Only two kobolds are remaining when Sylyra's turn is up, so I'm back to using the aforementioned table to determine how many are caught in its radius.

Ola cuts down a kobold nipping at her heels while a second falls to a well-placed arrow from Hex. One of the others rolls frantically away from the oncoming moonbeam, circling around Sylyra with its only remaining companion on the ground. Neither are able to connect with their jabs, panting frenetically as their combat advantage begins to wear off. Uragum sends cold energy through a flying kobold, barely dodging another dropped stone, operating on instinct imparted by Sylyra's druidic spirit. The second winged kobold draws a dagger and soars (dash diagonally toward Hex as she hones her senses to its approach.

Hex is badly wounded. Sylyra is badly wounded. Uragum is badly wounded. Ola is lightly wounded.
Giving up on the moonbeam (it persists; he just doesn't move it), Sylyra grasps his staff in both hands and fills it with magic. With another grunt through bared teeth, the druid swings at the nearest kobold.
Uragum groans. This is all going so terribly and against such small creatures too. He reaches out and summons a ball of fire behind the two kobolds fighting Sylyra and Ola and then pulls it hard into the damaged Kobold. Then moves out from under the flying Kobold dripping rocks.
Move: half the current distance to Ola and Sylyra

While Ola cuts down one of the standing kobolds, its companion rolls aside from Sylyra's staff as it comes down, hopping back to its feet and cackling. It does not see the ball of fire approaching from its back, and Uragum incinerates the creature as it leaps back into the fray. The kobold flying above the goliath follows his path and throws another stone downward, but seems to have lost its accuracy with the tide of battle turned against its favor.
Hex shifts away from the other winged kobold's lunge, darting away but missing the arrow that she sends its way. It twirls in the air to avoid the missile, already back in Hex's face with its dagger. For the time being, she remains fleet of foot, keeping away from the blade.
