There are three birds still flying about, but only one target visible. The swoop comes in a bit later than Krodhen had expected, which he thinks may be a sign of hesitation.
(OOC Assuming that Yul can see Eblis #3 just beyond the fog cloud, if not, happy to use his movement to step out of the fog cloud, attack and then duck back inside the cloud. If that occurs assume that an athletics is needed - 13.)
Hearing the notes of Karius' melody, Yul does begin to feel better. Buoyed by it, Yul hums along and, popping his head out of the fog to take a better look at his surroundings, Yul counts one dead bird and spots the other trying to encircle the group. Taking up his other handaxe, Yul decides to repeat his last attack.
Attack: 12 Damage: 9
"You can join your other big dumb bird friend in death!"
Watching the arc of his throw, Yul then decides to duck back into cloud to better protect himself.
As slow and as boring as it is, keeping the birds attention focussed on him is giving the others a chance to attack the birds from the relative safety of the fog, so while his luck and skill holds he will continue to dodge and take any attack opportunities that present themselves, swinging randomly at one of the three remaining birds that attacked him as a reaction.
Rhogal quickly pops out of the foggy area (moving from N-71 to P-71) and tries to get any sort of spore to sprout on ant of these blasted birds(aiming at the one at O/P-67/68) with fungal rot.
He then ducks back in the fog cover (moving from P-71 to N-71, if the movement is possible, IDK if difficult terrain is applied where Rhogal is, if it is, put him on O-72).

(@MB: Your attack needs to be rolled with disadvantage, so here's another die: 17. Also, there is no need to climb a ledge this time, so no skill check required.)
After bouncing birds off his shield, Krodhen tries to sneak a swipe at one of them but fails. His strategy working almost perfectly, the half-orc sees no reason to switch things up.
Feeling a little better, Rhogal steps out of the fog and calls on his spores once again. Unfortunately, they have yet to sprout during this fight.
Yulmiath does something similar to the dwarf, but with a thrown axe instead of spores. Unlike the last projectile the dragonborn threw, this one misses its mark.
One of the birds came so close, its shadow darkened the fog dangerously close to the fighters. Kairus considered shooting but then shook his head and repeated the dance he was dancing from the start: step out - a shot - step back.
(On O/P-67/68) Attack: 10 Damage: 12
"Hun," this time the sailor did not even add "grandpa" for the seriousness of the threat, "that flying dust brush in much need of your magic!"
He hoped his words gave if not encouragement, then at least direction. (Bardic Inspiration on Hun)
"Oh don't cha worry none, Young Blue. I got plenty of more where that last bit came from!" Hun said with an uncommon excitement. A more than likely after effect after seeing one of the feather fiends fall to one of his creations! Yet for all of the excitement, the kobold wouldn't throw caution to the wind like some goblin or fresh halfling; but, he would rather march again with a purpose out of the fog for a quick assessment of the situation outside, before grinning at the one nearby and launching another quick freezing cocktail their way. THEN... its right back into fog cover, chuckling the whole way inside.
Movement: To P-70.
Action: Cast (Cantrip)Frostfire Bomb at Birb(O/P-67|68), inflicting 12 Cold Damage on a failed Con Save(DC 14). (Spending Bardic Inspiration if Save is failed to add to the damage. Already added to the roll)
Movement: To M-70(or as close as possible).

Kairus notices the proximity of the closest bird and ponders if a change of tactic could better exploit it. Deciding it is too risky, the triton does what he and others have been doing so far. Unfortunately for him, the subtle magic enveloping the bird is enough to elude yet another of his crossbow bolts.
Knowing that Hun has been luckier with his shots, the bard encourages the kobold once more (Bardic Inspiration).
(@Blue: By my count, just to double check, this is the 4th use of Bardic Inspiration in this fight., right?)

Hun puts that piece of inspiration to good use and, in his best shot yet (after popping out of the fog), sends a cold vial right down the closest crane's gullet. In a somewhat humorous fashion, the Eblis seems to burp/regurgitate some of the alchemical compound the kobold has force-fed it. (Eblis#3 takes 12 cold damage.)
The cocktail interrupts the creature's constant shivering and fluttering.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Once again, Krodhen is the only potential prey visible and, once again, the birds delay their swoop for a couple of seconds. The reason for that becomes apparent presently as a twisting pattern of colors appears right before the half-orc's eyes.
-> Krodhen's WIS saving throw {DC 11}: 3
The ex-pirate reacts in time and quickly shuts his eyes before the magical effect takes a hold of him. He reopens his eyes just in time to see two birds swooping in for the attack.
(Krodhen, Rhogal, and Yulmiath are up next. Krodhen can attempt an opportunity attack at disadvantage. The recently injured bird did not swoop in to attack this time, so the opportunity attack cannot be made against that one.)
Popping his head of the fog cloud again, Yulmiath prepares himself to receive incoming attacks and steps out of the protection offered by Karius' spell. (Move to O,69 to place him in front of Karius).
"C'mon ya big feathery bollocks! Come and get a taste of Ol' Yulmiath! All at once or one at a time, makes no odds to me!"
Seeing the magical lights, Krodhen shuts his eyes quickly, making sure his shield is still held high to defend against any other attacks, and opens his eyes as he hears the fluttering of wings approach, batting away the claw and beak attacks with his shield once more. As they pass, Krodhen stabs upwards with a bit more conviction this time with only two attackers bearing down on him, and feels the blade connect with flesh and sink in this time, calling out to the others hiding in the fog he indicates as much "Wounded another one"

Krodhen finally manages to stick his sword into one of the more elusive birds! The blade moves easily into the crane's soft flesh, drawing a good amount of blood. That said, the creature's ability to fly is not seriously hindered. (Eblis#1 takes 9 piercing damage.)
Yulmiath is ready to give Krodhen's approach another go. The dragonborn steps to the edge of the fog circle so that he is now partially visible by those standing outside of it, including the birds. The barbarian then raises his axe, now prepared to both attack and defend as needed.
Rhogal decides to help out the two big guys in his own way, her steps out of the fog again and throws some bright blue spores at the ones that are close to each other, trying to highlight them.
"Some indigo milkcap oughta get ya some easier targets."
Rhogal exits the safety of the cloud cover and makes it to a spot that would allow him to catch two birds with one spell. Bright blue spores surround one of the birds, glowing like blue flame and making the only so-far uninjured Eblis quite easy to spot.
(@Drache: I assume Rhogal goes back into the fog after casting the spell, but let me know if that is not the case.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Much better!"Exclaimed Kairus walking to the sound of Krodhen's voice out of the fog to see the results of Rhogal's spell with one of the birds glittering again. "Let's see how tough you are now!"
He aimed at the shining bird (J/K 73/74) and made a shot: Attack: 13 Damage: 9
"Grandpa! The chicken is all yours now!"Not that Hun needed encouragement but Kairus was too excited not to share kind words.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The less sounds he hears of wings flapping, even if only a faint bit, the harder and harder it became for Hun... not to smile in delight. Though that quickly got wiped away hearing attention aimed at him, and in quite bit of a hurry too! "Yes, yes. I shall deal with them shortly. But first-..."He waddles off in a southerly direction, breaking fog in due time. "Oh! Only one of you this way, eh? You regretting your decisions yet?"He asked casually, yet hardly waited a moment for an answer before yanking the shield into place and pulling a lever,"Well that's too damn bayd!"
And out flew another vial on an high arc for the bird, only to explode much like the rest. Hun lingers just long enough to admire his handiwork, successful or not, before waddling his way back to fog cover.
