Zensiro will also attempt to hide, with the hood of his cloak raised, near the door such that he might be able to strike with surprise.  "Flint and Skrach, since you're out in the open, you fellows want to handle the, um, negotations?  And I hope that Dexan will arrive with the cavalry soon!"  He readies a scimitar in each hand and quietly recites a prayer to the Earthmother.

Stealth 13

(If he has any time left) Skrach (as a bonus action) will run a hand down the glittering robes that he acquired from the guardhouse, releasing a Giant Poisonous Snake from it's magical bindings within the robe. He strokes the snakes head and says, "Get ready my love"

(As an action) He will then extended his hand, holding a small seed, which will begin to blossom and sprout until a small shrub containing ten Goodberry sits on is palm. Turning the party he says "Everyone take 2, might help in a pinch"

Malinov 11

Irene 20

You hear a screech as Malinov circles the second floor. A Tabaxi ascends the stairs and comes to stand before her room in the hallway. 

" Why don't you all come out so we can have a nice.....talk. I know you are all in there." Irene waits.  

Skrach Initiative: 21

On his first turn of combat, Skrach will use a bonus action to release another Giant Poisonous Snake from the robe. Then point towards Malinov and direct both snake "Eat your fill kids"

This time, thick fur begins to sprout from his back and arms, as his face expands into a snout. His teeth extend and sharpen, and he drops to all fours, thrashing and snarling as a tail emerges from his back.

The wolf snarls and bears its teeth at Irene.

Zensiro whispers, "Thanks, Skrach, but now that you mention it, I've got a few of my own!  Hopefully our numerical advantage will give us the chance to keep the party supplied during the fight."

Initiative 22

(Any useful info from Harissa or update on what she's doing?)

“Why don’t you come inside”  Flint replies “We have to talk about this bad wine you have been serving and we don’t want to disturb the other guests”

Initiative 5

Round 1

Hurren Initiative:  8   

Fearing that his nonmagical attacks will have little effect on Irene, Hurren will move to attack Malinov if he can get within (melee) reach. (Move)

(Action) Spear attack (two handed): Attack: 15 Damage: 8

(Bonus Action) Kick attack: Attack: 27 Damage: 9

(Alternate Action) If not within reach, Hurren will instead cast Toll the dead on Malinov, DC 14 Wis save or else take 6 damage.

Malichi looks for any sort of cover or shadow near the door to hide that might give him an advantage when she walks in. He draws the rapier.

Malichi Stealth: 27

The wolf snarls and bears its teeth at Irene.

 " Haha, little booyahg... I could have made you commander of my armies, but it's clear you're nothing but a lowly gatherer; a pariah even. You will be the first....." 

Malinov sees the snakes and continues to hover above the ground, avoiding the reach of the snake (assuming they can't strike 10 ft upwards)

 Harissa prepares flaming sphere, and waits for an opportunity to launch it. To you she says " Akro is his real name. We've suspected he returned"

 " Oh I assure you the guests downstairs are having a ball... The predators at least." Irene begins to laugh. " The weak don't deserve to survive, wouldn't you agree? Come and face me, let's see who is stronger.."

Hurren Initiative:  17   

Fearing that his nonmagical attacks will have little effect on Irene, Hurren will move to attack Malinov if he can get within (melee) reach. (Move)

(Action) Spear attack (two handed): Attack: 20 Damage: 13

(Bonus Action) Kick attack: Attack: 13 Damage: 7

(Alternate Action) If not within reach, Hurren will instead cast Toll the dead on Malinov, DC 14 Wis save or else take 7 damage.

 You move to get in melee range. Both attacks hit and Malinov looks very injured. 

You hear a growl coming from Irene that doesn't sound feline in nature; more gutteral and feral. Irene's lip begins to curl. 

Quote from TechnoPagan >>

Malichi looks for any sort of cover or shadow near the door to hide that might give him an advantage when she walks in. He draws the rapier.

Malichi Stealth: 27

 Initiative: 12

 

 You succeed in hiding, Irene doesn't perceive you are there.

Irene begins to hover above the ground. Her form contorts as black leathery wings start to form from her back, the fur on her paws recedes and her digits split into 5 fingers and a thumb. A sinewy tail replaces her former furry one, horns appear on her head above her brow, and dark etching snakes across her bare arms.  The features of her true form combined reveal that the figure before you is actually a masculine Cambion, who was parading under the guise of a female Tabaxi.

In a deep voice Irene ( who is actually named Akro) says " I count too few of you, are the rest too cowardly to face me openly? No matter, the best way to flush mice out of the field is with fire!"

Akro launches 2 fire rays; 1 at Skrach, and another at Hurren.

Skrach:

18 to hit; dealing 10 fire damage.

Hurren 

12 to hit; dealing 10 fire damage.

Malinov will retreat higher in the ceiling to rest on a chandelier.

Triggered by seeing the transformation of Irene into Akro, and the vicious attack in front of her, Harrissa launches her prepared flaming sphere (Dex 13 saving throw or 2d6 fire damage)

22 dexterity saving throw from Akro. 

Akro narrowly dodges the attack.

Next round 

Round 2

Hurren easily dodges the fire ray, and flings a dart upwards at Malinov.

Dart Attack: 16 Damage: 7

Malichi leaps from the shadow to strike from behind

Malichi Rapier Attack: 20 Damage: 9 Sneak Attack Damage: 2

 Bonus Action: Disengage

Hearing the commotion, Flint exits the room and takes in the sight of the cambion floating above the fray. “Now I know why you are a fan of masks, I liked you better as a cat lady”

He pulls his newly acquired javelin of lightning and launches it at the fiend.

Attack: 26 Damage: 12 plus 15 lightning damage

(Round 2)

Zensiro mouths the words of an incantation as he stares down Akro from the shadows.  His vision blurs as a red haze fills his field of vision.  It quickly resolves, leaving a faint red outline surrounding Akro.  Sensing the moment is right as Akro taunts his comrades, Zensiro silently springs forward and slashes with Akro's own scimitar.

Bonus Action:  Hunter's Mark on Akro

Scimitar of Wounding - attack: 26 (w/advantage since hidden), damage: 6 w/bonus 1d6 for Hunter's Mark and intention to wound

(What a time to crit!  Add 2 damage to that sorry 6 up there.)

 The dart flies up and hits Malinov. The bird falls lifeless, hitting the floor near your feet.

 The javelin strikes, stops glowing and falls near Akro.

 You meet Akro head on and slash across his chest. 

Skrach still has his round 2, Akro will take his action afterwards

Taking the damage and seeing his bird dead on the ground, Akro launches backwards and down to the main floor, bellowing out in dual voice, laced with magic " defend me!"

A hybrid Dragonborn/tiger chimaera, and hybrid Half-Orc/ Lizard close ranks around Akro. 

As Akro is airborne in his manoeuver, he will multi-attack with fire rays. He aims one at Malachi and another at Zensiro.

Malachi:

8 to hit; dealing 7 fire damage. Natural 1 and the fire rays goes off to the left.

Zensiro:

12 to hit; dealing 9 fire damage.

The wolf looks heavily injured, but snarls, pouncing at Akro.

Attack (advantage due to pack tactics):23

Damage: 5

If the attack hits, Akro must make a DC 11 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone

Round 3

(Assuming Irene makes her STR save.  If not, attack directed at her instead.)

Hurren advances toward the Dragonborn, using his spear two-handed as a cudgel he attempts to knock it out, followed by a sweep kick to the legs.

Spear Attack: 26 Damage: 6

Kick Attack: 21 Damage: 8

Flint heads down the stairs, dodging party guests and following the cambion to the main floor.  As he gets within 15 feet of Akro, he taps into his elemental magic and a thunderwave of energy bursts from him, driving into Akro.

6 Thunder damage and pushed back 10 feet.  Half damage and no movement on a DC 12 Con save.

(Round 2)

(If nothing happens in the meantime)

Skrach, still hanging on in wolf form, will throw himself at the Dragonborn, lashing out with his jaws. Please make another DC 11 Strength save.

Attack: 23

Damage: 6

The attack hits, but due to resistances Akro shrugs the attack off, taking minimal damage.
