Irmiel could not see but she did remember where Sistri went as well as the drow positions, even if those could move as well. She stepped forward toward the drow and used her old trick:
BA/A: Dragon's Breath for 10 (Dex 16 save for half) breathing past Sistri in the hope to catch the drow around her friend.
(The goal is to catch both D2 and D5 while not catching Sistri and/or Kris. Should be possible from the square below Kris. But if not - random exhale between Kris and Sistri in a way to not affect them.)

Heat roils past Sistri and Kris, both of whom feel the singe of its heat...but at least one of the drow can be heard screeching as flames caress him in the dark.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
His worry of yore, about the drow in the camp, proved to be true as his optimistic words were put to test. Maybe it would have been safer to stay on the floating ruins of what Lamorak and his companions called base. Fight broke fast and Llwyd got lost on his thoughts about what to do. It was clear to him that the strategy from before, combining Haste and Call Lightning was not feasible. At least not on that first moment. He considered casting Enlarge on Sistri, but it was better to avoid the spell indoors. He wished to have prepared Entangle and Sleet Storm, this way he could have made entrance harder. Too late for regrets, the druid said with the voice of his mind as darkness spreads through the air.
Focusing his mind he made primal energy flow through his body. His form blurred and expanded, teeth becoming fangs and satyr becoming dire wolf. Using memory and the sounds of pain as his guides, the beast advanced on an attempt to stand besides Sistri and strike against the drow closest to Kris. That should be enough to guarantee the dark elves didn’t flank the paladin and with an ally that close his attacks would become deadlier, although how much it was hard to say since he was not able to see of the gloom.
By the time Llwyd could reach the area from where the last screech came, he bared his fangs and tried to bite an enemy.
Notes:I said I would roll low when it mattered. Llwyd uses Combat Wild Shape to spend his bonus action and transform in a Dire Wolf. He then moves between where Sistri and D5 stood, triggering his pack tactics (nullifying the disadvantage from Darkness) then uses his action to perform a bite attack (if the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone).
It is a bit unnerving to Sistri to suddenly *feel* the presence of a massive growling beast behind her, but a moment later she realizes it must be their Satyr ally. There's snapping and rending of flesh, and even in the dark it's clear that Llwyd in a beast form is a terrible foe. Llwyd feels his teeth rip through chain mail as he drags down a drow who lets loose a high pitched but brief scream before he slams into the ground and stops squirming.
(There were two drow near Sistri. The one she attacked misty stepped away. The other one was the one that cast Darkness. And apparently Llwyd in beast form killed him. So is the darkness still present?)
(Actually, a 3rd drow had rushed forward and tried to stab her. That is the one that Llwyd killed. So...theoretically the one that cast darkness is still about somewhere, but Sistri isn't sure if he moved after casting darkness.)

Sistri stays close to the presence of Llwyd in beast form next to her and casts Cure Wounds on herself. (10 hp recovered) Softly, to the presence beside her, she says, "Can you see in this darkness?"

The clang of a blade skittering across chain mail is heard, followed by a grunt and the sound of a body collapsing to the ground. Stallock's voice pipes up in the darkness, "The two stupid Jackal's are getting away! Get out of that darkness you guys!"
Attack on Stallock: 23 Damage: 6

Sistri hears the slightly motion of an attack near her, and a blade sweeps out at her twice in the darkness.

Then a crackling blast of lightning can be heard, though rather than ending, a deep and uneven buzzing sound filled with pops and crackles is heard.

As long as the jackals were not returning to the Queen, Irmiel did not see the problem with their escape. Sure, it would be nice of the to join the fight against the drow, but really, who would seriously expect it?
Stallock was right, though, staying in the darkness does not help much. Irmiel ran towards the Stallock's voice.
Action depends on what she sees. In all cases it's Dragon Breath (Fire for 12, Dex save 16 for half) but
1. If she can reach Stallock's position and he is still fighting some drow, she will breathe fire at them, with the intention to catch at many as possible.
2. If she can not reach Stallock's attackers but there are visible drow attacking Sistri - BA: Misty Steps somewhere near to catch as many as possible into the fire.
3. If the wizard with lightning can be located - Misty Steps to him with breathing on him.
4. If the only visible attackers are those around Stallock but she can not reach them - Misty steps to them and breathe.
Irmiel rushes that way, slamming her shin painfully on the edge of the fountain, then stumbling a bit over some broken rock bits. She finds herself stumbling out of the darkness awkwardly and back into the light of the day. She glances around briefly taking in the scene, trying to figure out which of her the plans running through her mind were best.

Irmiel flings a bolt of flame across the room at the drow mage who has an arc of electric current attached to Stallock, but the flame goes high and splashes against the wall. Meanwhile, a drow locked in close combat with Kris attempts to skewer her, while another comes running up from outside, looks about, and fires a bolt at Kris as well.

The taste of blood felt familiar on his mouth and that made Llwyd realize how many drow he tore between his fangs on the last days. He didn’t want to member what he did to the corpse of the first dark elves they had battled, but the images came to his mind. He knew that if one spent too much time transformed the change started to go beyond the body. Druid would become beast. Maybe that was happening to him, maybe he would become a dire wolf in spirit. The idea only went away when Sistri asked if he could see on the darkness.
Normally he would say he can, but on that darkness neither he could see nor speak. He growled briefly, hoping the sound could convey a negative to the paladin. When Stallock spoke of the jackals running away he let a howl.
“Stay quiet, jackals!”Llwyd barked unsure if the beasts could understand him. He focused his mind on before the curtain of shadows took the air. There was another drow close by. Roughly in front of Sistri. If I get the position right, the satyr thought, I may bring him down.
Small hope was better than no hope at all and so he tried to bite on the direction where he last saw an enemy.
Notes: Llwyd uses his action to try a bite attack (if the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone) on the direction where he last saw D2 (thanks to Sistri pack tactics continues nullifying the disadvantage from Darkness).
Llwyd sniffs about, his ears tweaking as he hears the nearby motion of a drow. His jaws clamp out into the darkness seeking purchase, but finds only air.
Irmiel, Stallock, and Kris, though they're each engaged in combat, see Lamorak roll under the lightning bolt connecting Stallock and the Drow mage...and then, dodging as he goes, he makes his way past several other drow and to the front entrance, clearly intending to flee. Meanwhile, both the Jackals have run off and made it out of the large tree house.

Hearing Stallock urging them out of the darkness, Sistri decides to move in that direction. She again casts Cure Wounds on herself to recover some. Then she heads out. (Heal: 11 hp)

Sistri cures herself in the darkness as she stumbles over the edge of the fountain and then emerges out of the darkness. As she is walking away, whoever has been taking stabs at her in the darkness takes another jab.
Attack on Sistri: 22 Damage: 9
She stumbles out of the darkness in time to see Stallock swing his rapier at a drow in front of him...
Attack: 16 Damage: 7 + 5
Attack: 13 Damage: 8 + 1
(if the first attack takes the drow down, he drops his rapier, smoothly pulling his longbow off his back and feathering an arrow....loosing it at the mage. less the extra 1d6 damage.)
