Feeling a bit strange when walking into battle with his shield still on his back, Krodhen takes the needed moment to properly strap the device to his shield arm. The paladin now feels properly equipped for the fight.
The pteranodons continue attacking but, this time, they fly up to the relative safety of the sky after pecking at the Snack Pack. Their long wings and rapid movement make it so there is little opportunity to attack them as they retreat (no opportunity attacks).
-> Bite-stab vs. Yulmiath: Attack: 20 Damage: 6 (20,6)
-> Bite-stab vs. Yulmiath: Attack: 23 Damage: 15 (23,15)
-> Bite-stab vs. Mr. Thicc: Attack: 13Damage: 5 (13,5)
-> Bite-stab vs. Mr. Thicc: Attack: 23 Damage: 12 (23,12)
As Yulmiath expected, a couple of reptiles descend on him. He engages and exchanges blows with the first, though his axe swing only cuts air. The second pteranodon takes full advantage of the distraction and pierces the dragonborn deeply, who is left standing only by a miracle. (Yulmiath takes 21 piercing damage.)
As a creature swoops on each of Hun and Mr. Thicc, the construct raises both arms in defense of his master and himself. The manuever is enough to deflect both attacks, but it opens the automaton's defenses to a third enemy. This time, Mr. Thicc's plating is not enough to protect him. (Mr. Thicc takes 12 piercing damage.)
Krodhen's time donning his shield was well spent. The pteranodon aiming for him is mesmerized by the large metal piece and slams right into it, flying away afterwards.
Rhogal gets distracted by the loud bang and fails to see the until-then prone reptile sneaking a peck at him and then flying back up. (Rhogal takes 7 piercing damage.)
(OOC: The enemy that was prone is now 30ft off the ground. All other six pteranodons are somewhere between 40ft and 55ft of the ground. Beware of any actions you take that have a range which is borderline similar to these distances, as they may miss.)
The battle was getting serious and to Kairus's judgement already warranted a cover which he provided with the pluck of the cittern string - Fog Cloud to cover the battlefield (from Krodhen to Yulmiath).
"Hey! Move to the music! We can fight from the tent or dance like with those cranes before!" Kairus almost sang that phrase and kept playing to show the direction in the fog in case someone did want to use the tent as a cover. "Grandpa! I'm sure your construct is great to cover regrouping!" He hoped his words would inspire Hun for some clever way of defending the group.
Bardic Inspiration to Hun. (Now both Hun and Yulmiath have BI)
Kairus continues to play his cittern, now forcing some thick fog out of the instrument's sound hole. The strategy proved effective before, so why not now? The fog engulfs Yulmiath, Krodhen, Hun, Rhogal, Mr. Thicc, and invades the tents' interiors, also masking Kairus. Eeyal is left outside the obscuring dome.
Thankfully, the fog only affects vision, not hearing. The bard utters a few encouraging words to Hun(Bardic Inspiration).
The only answer Kairus gets back is flustered noise as the Kobold either hadn't quite anticipated the fog cloud or was perhaps more frustrated by it. Hard to say either which way without visual on the kobold's expression. Just as noone would see Kairus' inspiration being already put to immediate use by the kobold. Only Yulmiath would feel it at work as a more blue-ish foam had been sprayed on to him, mending much of his wounds.
There were also a few words barked out in draconic, though even Yulmiath might find himself confused about the meaning of 'Repair Protocol Alf'. The only clear thing after being a lot of whirring and clacking noise emanating from Mr. Thicc's at least forme rposition.
Action: Cast (1st level)Inspired Healing Foam on Mr. Yully, restoring 13 Hp. (Burning Bardic Inspiration to add to the healing, as per Kairus Magical Inspiration Feature.)
Bonus Action: Command Mr. Thicc to activate Repair Protocol, restoring 8 HP to Mr. Thicc.
Future Reaction: Same as before if Fog Cloud is dropped. (since being blinded both ways cancels out any disadvantage anyhow)

"Gah! Can hardly see my hand in front o' me face! At least th' same'll go fer them, as well!" Rhogal says as thick fog envelops most of the group. Fruiting bodies start coming out of his clothes (Symbiotic Entity).
Symbiotic Entity:
You can use Wild Shape to awaken the spores that infuse you to gain +12 temp HP, roll double damage dice for your Halo of Spores damage, and deal 1d6 additional necrotic damage when you hit with a melee weapon attack. These all last for 10 minutes, or until you lose all these temporary hit points, or until you use your Wild Shape again.
Future reaction
The first pteranodon that attacks him will get a dose of Halo of spores (DC13): 3 necrotic damage on fail
Feeling the now familiar sting of Hun's healing foam on his scales, Yulmiath gives a grunt of thanks. Those flying terrors hit harder than he'd thought, but under cover of Karius' mist, he doubted that they'd be having as much luck at finding their target as they had thus far.
Stalking to the edge of the mist (happy to go as far as DB,48 if needed), he takes a javelin, aims, and lets fly at a Pteranodon within range (30ft).
Attack: 16 Damage: 5
Keeping an eye on the arc of the projectile, he hopes it hits it's mark (using bardic inspiration to help if needed - 2).
Then, he ducks back into the mist back to is original position.
(OOC: I'm shall auto-pilot Krodhen again this turn.)
The sudden addition of fog to the battlefield throws a wrench in Krodhen's plans. Counting on his armor and shield to do their job, the paladin steps out of the fog {DA-38} and waits for one of the beasts to swoop at him.
Within the cloud, Hun takes advantage of being within touch distance of Yulmiath and aims some of his healing foam at the dragonborn. (Yulmiath recovers 13 HP.)
As ordered, Mr. Thicc spends the next few seconds partially soldering shut the hole the pteranodon made on his plating. (Mr. Thicc recovers 8 HP.)
No one can fully appreciate the sudden change in form Rhogal goes through. The dwarf bubbles up and is peppered by a cloud of blooming mushrooms. Some of the mushrooms are bright yellow or dark blue, showing that the druid has incorporated some of the previously collected island specimens into his form.
Feeling a tad better, Yulmiath moves toward the edge of the fog {DB-47} and launches a javelin at the nearest and most injured enemy. The projectile's tip emerges from the creature's back after poking its belly. Weapon and beast crash down. (Pteranodon#4 takes 5 piecing damage and is DEFEATED.)
Six flying reptiles remain and they split their next attacks between the dragonborn and the half-orc of the group, which are the only visible targets at the moment.
-> Bite-stab vs. Yulmiath: Attack: 16 Damage: 3 (16,3)
-> Bite-stab vs. Yulmiath: Attack: 18 Damage: 7 (18,7)
-> Bite-stab vs. Yulmiath: Attack: 20 Damage: 5 (20,5)
-> Bite-stab vs. Krodhen: Attack: 12Damage: 4 (12,4)
-> Bite-stab vs. Krodhen: Attack: 13Damage: 5 (13,5)
-> Bite-stab vs. Krodhen: Attack: 11Damage: 8 (11,8)
(OOC: I'll resolve these attacks in a separate post.)
A master of the defensive arts, Krodhen swats each and every assailant with his shield. The half-orc was ready for the first one of them too, but the creature flaps away from the paladin's longsword in the last second.
No praises are sung about Yulmiath's defensive abilities. Seconds after being foamed to health, the dragonborn finds himself with three new wounds on his torso. (Yulmiath takes 15 piercing damage.)
The creatures add some distance between them and the Snack Pack, though they can't fly as far as they did following the previous barrage. They are now between 10 and 25 feet off the ground.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Kairus could not see it but could hear the attacks. Judging by the direction, the overgrown flying chickens kept pestering Yulmiath. The triton got out of the tent and searched for the Dragonborn to deliver some musical remedy: Cure Wounds for 10.
First by sound and then by sight, Kairus locates Yulmiath and approaches {DA-47}. The bard delivers some musical healing (sung like Marvin Gaye, I'm assuming). (Yulmiath recovers 9 HP.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The more Hun hears of Yulmiath's pain, the more the kobold grumbled and curses under breath in draconic until enough was enough. "Mr. Thicc! On my Six, er, to the east THEN on my Six."Seeming to understand the Kobold's meaning all the same, the Construct follows the kobold out of the fog and stand defiantly before the Dragonborn. "Right! Protection protocol Biggun, Mr. Thicc! And go-go Rocket Shishkabober!"Hun once more called out the command mere moments after sending the guided spear flying for second breakfast.
Well, that or a frostfire bomb launched out with a click of some switch and the blade briefly parting revealing a hollowed-out interior for some kind of mini-launcher.
Movement: To DB-49.
Action: Lash Out using Rocket Shishakabober at Pteranodon(DC-49). (Lethal, Thrown)Returning Yklwa - Attack: 14 Damage: 12
OR(If he would be affected by Sunlight Senstivity/target is higher than 10ft)
Action: Cast (Cantrip)Frostfire Bomb at Bird Dino(DC-49), inflicting 5 Cold Damage on a failed Con Save(DC 14).
Future Reaction(Mr. Thicc): Deflect Attack on the 1st to target Ally in Range(Prioritizing Yulmiath, if first to be attacked(exclude targets previously affected by other forms of disadvantage).

Having felt the sting of further attacks, Yulmiath begins to rage. How dare these little, no-good, flying, reptiles strike his flesh and make him bleed his own blood!
Snatching another javelin up, Yulmiath takes aim and throws, looking to skewer another one.
