Cannons has enough smartness to follow friends, because if he doesn't, the vampires will bite him and eat his blood, so he follows behind his "brother" Grifhook. On the way he tries a new bomb, a bang-boom, and lobs it at the largest group of vampires he can reach (10 foot radius, creatures in area are pushed 10 feet away from the point of origin on failed DC 13 Con save). What fun are explosions if you can't hear them?
(Edit: those who fail the save are knocked prone as well)
Stepping out the door, Arcturis surveys the battle calmly. "I just can't get away from this." He reaches out to one of the vampires fighting the orc and concentrates on bringing it closer to him.
Psychic Hammer to try to grip one of the vampires attacking the large orc. STR Save DC 13
Psychic Hammer Psionic Talent As an action, you try to grasp one creature you can see within 120 feet of you, with a hand crafted from telekinetic energy. The target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or take 1d6 force damage. If it takes any of this damage and is Large or smaller, you can move it up to 10 feet in a straight line in a direction of your choice. You can’t lift the target off the ground unless it is already airborne or underwater
"Damn air filled with so much blustering!" Grifhook says grumbling then his grumbles turn into a chuckle as he sees a bunch of vampires on their butts. "Nice one, Cannons!"
OOC: I assume this is a free-for-all until otherwise stated since no rolls for initiative have occurred.
OOC: Actually, we're keeping the initiative from the tavern brawl. Retoig, Adrima, you, Xyran, Polly, Driss, Cannons, and Arcturis have gone. Hey, that's the whole party.

A nearby skymarcher, garbed identically to the officer you killed, rallies a small force to attack you--a menacing, thuggish-looking warrior wearing a breastplate and holding a longsword; a white-robed cleric holding a mace; and four more rank-and-file soldiers.
The skymarcher unleashes a powerful barrage of magic (10 and 21) on his own troops. The warrior lunges at Driss, who sidesteps (Athletics24 opposed by Athletics20), tries again, only to have him sidestep again (Athletics14 opposed by Athletics18), and backs up and swings two-handed with his longsword, landing a solid blow on his torso (11, 8 slashing damage).
The cleric throws a spell that most of you recognize as a guiding bolt at Arcturis (6, 13 radiant damage).
One soldier tries to grapple Grifhook (4 opposed by 15), succeeds, and tries to bite him (18), but is distracted by Grifhook elbowing him in the stomach.
One extra-dapper soldier salutes Xyran, then lunges, his rapier a blur (18 and 15), but Xyran parries blow after blow.
Another tries to skewer Cannons (21 and 15, 7 piercing damage) and lands a nasty blow to his thigh.
The last valiantly, bravely, nobly, suicidally engages Retoig (14, 14), and, predictably, does nothing effective.
Seeing all that’s going on from his bird’s eye view, Polly let’s a song call out from above, “Please help us now, we’re having such a good time, we’re having a ball! Please help us now, if you’d help us out, we’d be really grateful!~ I suggest you obey all my commands and destroy the invading vampires!” Polly will cast Suggestion on the armored vampire.
Adrima looks around and see the place crawling with vampires.
"Well it is time to show my dark side". Adrima cast darkness on her and moves closer to the cleric (disadvantage to attack her, she gets advantage on attacks as she can see in darkness)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Upon spilling out of the bar, Retiog takes in the chaos that seems to have fallen upon the floating city. He takes it all in with a smile on his face, but understands it might be best to look for an escape considering the numbers. "Weez gunna need ta git outa 'ere," he shouts to anyone near. Noticing Captain Storm nearby he begins toward her ship, however one of the soldiers steps in his way. "Joo sure joo wanna do dat?" Easily blocking the strike with his shield the orc adds, "Joo tryin' ta tickle me... Den it's me turn!" Retiog rears his mace back on his new foe.
Reckless attack (attacks against me now have advantage until the beginning of my next turn) 16, Damage 8
Seeing the vampire resist his telekenetic pull, Arcturis prepares to attack another target when he blasted in the chest with a beam of radiant energy. He stumbles back against the wall of the tavern and regains his senses. Seeing a faint glow around him he deems it better to play it smart for the new few seconds. Reciting the words of a prayer a shimmering field appears around him. Placing his hand on his chest warm energy flows through his body and some of the wounds he had sustained disappear. He laments to himself that he has as of yet not been able to prove to anyone that he could be useful on a crew. This was going to have to change, he needed a ride out of this place for sure.
Bonus Action - Shield of Faith, Action - Lay on Hands for 9 hps, Move to cover for the moment.
Everything was going on at once and Driss was hard pressed. The warrior was good and not alone. The gash to his torso hurt like hell. Quick words to the Storm brought some comfort as some of the wounds he'd received started to close. Healing Word7 as a Bonus action.
Readying his mace Driss then jumps into the fray, bashing at the warrior. Att 7 Dam6
Still praying as he fights he calls for the storm to help him.
OOC: Driss will use Wrath of the Storm ( Class feature ) if attacked. Save Dex 13 takes 9 lightning Damage or half if succeeded
The vampire attacking Retoig sidesteps an overhand strike. The one in combat with Driss easily blocks a strike to the hip, almost as though he was expecting it when he last swung.
OOC: Just need Xyran.

"Hehe, a dual? Prepare yourself." Xyran retaliates against the soldier attacking him. Jab stepping in and out then finally lunging for the attack. Attack: 19 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll. Attack: 17 Damage: 20
OOC: Ignore the second attack roll. I'm just trying to figure out how to put in Sneak Attack into the Combat Dice Roller. That would've been sweet as hell though. lol

Cannons lets out a screech, then pulls out a sizzle-boom, smashing it on the blood-eater's head. 3 acid damage on failed Dex save.
"When I pictured this evenings end, I was the one doing the grabbing..." Grifhook says with a smirk as he attempts to get free.
