"Kora!" Lelith watched the fairy being devoured by the creatures. They will pay. She could not lose her focus now, as much as she wanted to mutilate the bodies of her murderers, she had to focus on the larger threats. She aimed her bow at the largest Gohma that were still going strong and let loose two arrows at once.
"Sorry, Kora! Noooo!!!" Ro screamed as he watched the duo fall prey to the gohma's slew of attacks. Seeing that Kora was beyond his level of aid, Ro turned to Sorry. The wizard cast Wither and Bloom, centered around Sorry.
Action: cast Wither and Bloom Sorry rolls one of her hit dies and heals that amount. Any gohma's within a 10 ft radius of her makes a Con Save (DC 16). Taking 2 necrotic damage on a fail, or half on a success.
Oten doesn't slow, and his large metallic frame charges straight into the cluster of gohma around Sorry, with his steel defender right behind him. His javelin retracts and he scoops up Sorry in that hand while he runs past the gohma holding his shield out to guard her form. His steel defender swings its tail at one, before interfering with the first gohma to lunge at Oten's back.
Running to Sorry, using the grapple action on her, and then using his remaining movement to move her away at half speed, taking any AoO he needs to.
With his bonus action, he is commanding the steel defender to attack (23 to hit for 5 damage)
The steel defender will use its reaction to impose disadvantage on the next adjacent Gohma attack
Seeing Kora taken despite his best efforts, and seeing her demise brought about her valiant efforts to help him, Rum loses it. A feral screech of a growl escapes him as he pounces forward towards the Gohma that took Kora.
Normally so calm and assured, cocky even, this sight is the antithesis of what the others have seen of him so far.
As he moves, he strikes out at any Gohma in his path, his focus entirely on the two surviving Gohma who devoured Kora. Gone is the draconic energy in his attacks. Gone is the precision. Both now replaced by vicious claws, rending any enemy he comes across. His growls echoing around the cavern.
He instinctively reaches into his well of Ki to sustain his assault, the magical tattoo enhancing any the connect.
Reaction (Previous round): Draconic Strike on Gohma who took Kora (already resolved and dead) Movement: Straight towards the two Gohma who ate Kora Action: Attack: Cat's Claws (with eldritch maul):: 4+9=13 Damage: 4+6=10(Magical Slashing), 1 (Force), Total Damage: 11 Cat's Claws (with eldritch maul):: 1+9=10 Miss!

The bodies of broken Gohma's begin to fail as the Steel Defender, Rum's blows, and Greko's wolves cut them down.
The surviving Gohmas continue to attack, having apparently resolved to fight to the death without their Queen. One of the larger soldier Gohmas snaps at Rum but misses. One of the Guard Gohmas webs Greko, and a small soldier Gohma rakes its fangs uselessly across Ro's armor. Another lands on Greko, sinking its fangs into his chest. The other Guard Gohma rushes for Rum but stumbles and falls...
Sorry, freed and feeling marginally better, reaches for her bow as Oten gets her to safety. Still hurt but not out of the fight, she gets off two shots; one missing, and one killing another of the soldier gohmas.

Greko fails to hold his concentration after being webbed and attacked. His Dire Wolves disappear leaving him to fend for himself. Greko fails to break the webbing of the Ghoma as he is a frail old lizard. However, he has a few tricks up his sleeve. He whispers a pleasant melody he learned from the magical fey creatures of the woods driving it into the mind of the Ghoma that attacked him almost killing it.
Rum turns his head slowly towards the remaining spider creatures after slicing through the pair that ate Kora. A low growl still emanates from his throat like a rumble of thunder. They are the largest creatures they have come across with the exception of the queen, but this does not deter him. Still in his feral state, he bounds across the distance between he and them and brandishes claws now slick with the blood of the enemy.
He strikes three times, each time his tattoo glows but without any distance between him and his fray, the ink does not travel. This is personal and something to be done up close!
The claws of his foot rip into one of the creatures as he leaps onto it and from there onto the back of the other, the claws on his hands digging deep.
His rampage still devoid of the usual comments he makes during combat.

The onslaught begins to do severe damage. The two remaining Gohmas are suddenly awash in the turbulent waves of violence. Sorry looses two arrows, pushing one of the Gohmas to near death and hitting the other in the head. It stumbled in a circle, confused...

Lelith fired with uncanny precision at the nearest target firing off one arrow before aiming at another target nearby with a second arrow.
First Attack:

The arrows find the two wounded Gohma soldiers easily, killing both of them.
