-> Rolling an extra damage die here to account for the crit on Yulmiath: 1 (2)
Kairus hops out of the way of the first spear thrust but right into the path of the second. (Kairus takes 9 piercing damage.)
-> Kairus' concentration check for Enlarge/Reduce {DC 10}: 19 (9)
Rhogal is unable to react in time to avoid two attacks, with the third one being stopped by the druid's leathers. (Rhogal takes 11 piercing damage.)
The very next stab Yulmiath takes is enough for the dragonborn to fall back down. A second spear attack brings him close to death, but the other two attackers fail to compensate for the falling large body and thrust nothing but air. (Yulmiath takes 8 piercing damage and 2 DEATH saving throw fails.)
-> Yulmiath is unconscious, prone, and incapacitated. His first hand axe falls off his hands and returns to its regular size. Yulmiath also becomes Medium-sized again.
Mr. Thicc resumes his defensive duties and protects Hun from one incoming spear. It falls to Hun to protect himself from the second, which he does by emulating the effects of the shield spell.
Even Krodhen begins to bleed as one spear manages to find a gap in his armor. (Krodhen takes 7 piercing damage.)

NOTES: Please note that some of the enemies have moved relative to the coordinates written in posts pertaining to the previous round.
(Kairus, Rhogal, Hun, Yulmiath, and Krodhen may all take their turns. If Yulmiath is not healed before his turn, he needs to roll a DEATH save. He may add his Bardic Inspiration die to the roll, if needed.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Shaking his head and bringing himself back into the fight, Yulmiath spits a mouthful of blood onto the ground. Setting himself back on unsteady legs, he pulls his greataxe from the floor with him, using it to keep his frame upright. Reigniting his rage, he circles around the remaining humans, as carefully as he can, ending at DA,85.
Huffing in great breaths of air as he moves, the dragonborn looks around the battlefield and decides that while he might not be able to escape, ensuring his new friends live to see another day might be all he's able to do. Spitting out a short stream of words in draconic, he lowers his head and opens his maw, spitting fire in a wide arc in front of him.
"A parting gift from Yulmiath of the Wagtail and the Snack Pack. I hope you choke on my bones!"
Action: Yulmiath uses his flame breath attack, DC13 DEX save for the humans at DB,85, DC,85 and DD,85. Hopefully catching the one at DD,83 too? 6fire damage for those who fail, half damage on a success.
Bonus Action: Rage! Plus the storm aura effect to either the human at DB,85 or DC,85 depending on the closest one falls from the breath attack. DC13 DEX save again. 1lightning damage on a fail, half damage on a success.
(OOC - YULMIATH LIVES! Until he gets stuck with a spear again. Saving that BI for his next death save. o.O)
Now accosted by a number of a number of the tribesmen, Rhogal's clothes start sprouting mushrooms and the spores about him also get more dangerous (Symbiotic Entity).
Reaction
Some of those spores spread and land on the tribesman he injured before.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Feeling the spear find a weak spot in his armor, he lets out a muffled "Argh", before chopping back viciously at the one he previously hit (#17) and muttering "Another fine mess Yul's gotten us into..."
Bonus Action: As he feels the strength of that blow, he draws some divine inspiration from it to feel renewed (Channel Divinity, Harvest Divine Power - recover spell slot from Bless)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Get off our proverbial diddlewiddles you useless vagabonds!"Hun barked alongside other explicative as he fought to slay the tribesmen close at hand, before then rushing to the aid of others. His orders for Mr. Thicc, such as they were, remained largely unchanged. For all of his apparent aggravation with the cannibals, a keen mind and observant eyes wouldn't allow slip the tactics of the cannibals. So it is with such in mind that the one addendum put forth results in his sending the construct off to harass the thicker throng.
Action(Hun): Shishkabober Strike at Cannibal Tribemember(CX-89). (Melee, Lethal)Returning Yklwa - Attack: 3+25 Damage: 13 magical piercing.

Bonus Action: Command Mr. Thicc to Attack Tribemember(DB-85)

When you realize you're doing too much: Signature.
Kairus simultaneously manages two battles, bringing Yulmiath back to life with his enchanted words and releasing another crossbow bolt with his hands. (Yulmiath recovers 9 HP.)
Despite being threatened from such close range, the bard manages an accurate shot. The bolt digs into the cannibal's stomach, puncturing something vital as evidenced by the mixture of red and yellowish liquids pouring out of the wound. (Tribesman#1 {CT-77} takes 12 piercing damage and is DEFEATED.)
Perhaps welcoming the proximity of his next foes, Rhogal releases a cloud of many colored spores that whirls around him like insects attracted to a bright lamp. A network of fungi appears from beneath the dwarf's clothes and beard, claiming his skin as they do the undergrowth. Pods of mushrooms grow unnaturally quick, some bursting within mere seconds and releasing more spores into the air. There is no escape for whatever nearby target the transformed druid sets his eyes on.
The spores seek out the open wounds of the nearest target. They suck most of the life out of the already injured combatant, be he lingers yet. (Tribesman#4 {CX-83} takes 5 necrotic damage.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Having observed enough to get an understanding of the tribal warriors' tactics, Hun attempts to break them as best as he can in the seconds that follow. First things first, his current foe needs to go. A perfectly placed thrust of his trusty yklwa does the job, irreparably damaging the man's carotid artery. (Tribesman#12 {CX-89} takes 12 magical piercing damage and is DEFEATED.)
The artificer then moves to the other side of the adjacent enemy while commanding Mr. Thicc to support Yulmiath. As the construct moves, he gives the nearby enemy the perfect chance to strike:
-> Melee Spear vs Mr. Thicc: Attack: 22 Damage: 3 (18,4)
The man's spear manages to pierce through one of Mr. Thicc's metal plates. (Mr. Thicc takes 4 piercing damage.)
Ignoring the damage he has just taken, the construct charges another blow and aims it at an unsuspecting cannibal. The forceful hit is enough to claim another life. (Tribesman#9 {DB-85} takes 5 force damage and is DEFEATED.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Not immediately surrounded by any enemies, Eeyal quickly scans the battlefield in search of easy pickings. She spots the severely damaged cannibal struggling against Rhogal's spores and raises her reloaded crossbow:
Even the tortle is surprised as her projectile passes cleanly through the man's eye socket. He slumps to the ground. (Tribesman#4 {CX-83} takes 9 piercing damage and is DEFEATED.)
(@MB: The battlefield has changed slightly since you posted, so I'll adjust your turn a bit so that you can try to achieve what you were hoping to do.)
Yulmiath brings himself up for the second time in this fight and reclaims his greataxe from the ground. His size is back to normal, but his rage is seemingly bottomless. Convinced this is his last fight, the dragonborn pushes himself to the other side of the nearby enemies {DC-86} and releases a swirl of flames from deep within his throat.
Fear bubbles up in the cannibals' eyes, but they are not exactly surprised that a dragon can spit fire. All three foes duck just in time to avoid the worst of the gout of fire, but their backs are licked by the flames nonetheless. For one of them, even this half-avoided damage is enough to push him into eternal sleep. (Tribesman#14 {DC-85} takes 5 fire damage, Tribesman#7 {DD-83} takes 5 fire damage, Tribesman#8 {DD-85} takes 5 fire damage and is DEFEATED.)
Another spark of lightning materializes with the dragonborn's wrath, but it fails to find a human target. That doesn't mean the closest tribal warrior avoids a tiny shock. (Tribesman#14 {DC-85} takes 1 lightning damage.)
Now more comfortable with the fight, Krodhen feigns a piercing attack, fools his opponent, forces her into the path of a lethal slashing strike, and teaches her nearby companion a lesson as the targeted cannibal's lifeless corpse thuds onto the ground. (Tribesman#17 {CT-85} takes 13 slashing damage and is DEFEATED.)
Before preparing for his next attack, Krodhen takes a deep breath and concentrates on replenishing his magical powers. The air he takes in feels blessingly refreshing.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The signs of a disorderly retreat begin to show as one of the recently burned cannibals turns to run away. He passes by one of his companions who had been forced asleep and shakes him awake before running south. This second hunter takes a moment to stand up and read the battlefield. It is then his turn to shake another cannibal awake and start running. The third human in this chain also stands up and begins to flee.
Six cannibals remain engaged in combat. One of them yells a furious string of disapproving comments toward the deserters in their native tongue. This is enough to convince those who remain to continue attacking for now.
-> Melee Spear vs Kairus: Attack: 12 Damage: 9 (22,8)
-> Melee Spear vs Rhogal: Attack: 18 Damage: 8 (7,6)
-> Melee Spear vs Rhogal: Attack: 14 Damage: 3 (15,7)
-> Melee Spear vs Yulmiath: Attack: 11 Damage: 4 (10,8)
Kairus grunts in pain as another stab causes him to lose quite a bit of blood. (Kairus takes 8 piercing damage.)
Rhogal is also stabbed one more time but does not wince in pain. Instead, those around the druid see a portion of the many mushrooms that recently took over his body shrivel and die. A second spear attack is aimed downward, likely in an attempt to pin the dwarf's foot to the ground, but it misses. (Rhogal takes 7 piercing damage.)
Being target by only a single spear this time around, Yulmiath laughs as he deflects the attack with his greataxe.
Hun was prepared to repeat his magical shield trick but his assailant does the kobold a favor by completely whiffing his spear thrust.
Krodhen uses his real shield to easily block the one attack aimed at him.

Kairus lost his concentration, being attacked from two sides, but he did saw Yulmiath going down and did his best to bring him back again:
