Narrowing his eyes, Sylyra runs and leaps forward, grunting low as he lands in the water. He then begins slogging toward the island as quickly as he can.
Action: dash
Movement: DM, according to the rules, if I run 10 feet, I can long jump 10 feet. I'm not sure if that helps or not, but I thought I'd mention it. Sylyra's movement is 35 feet.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Hex grunts in annoyance as the bugs begin to swarm and runs out of their grasp immediately, pulling out her bow as she does and aiming a shot at Ellison. As she sees Sylyra running straight forward, towards the danger, she stumbles a bit in confusion but quickly regains her composure. "Focus taking down Ellison first then we can deal with the dragon!"
Movement: 30ft, making her way to the small land mass to the right.
If possible, Hex will hold her Attack until everyone else has gone to try and proc Colossus Slayer.
(Ooo actually I take it back. Hex isn't gonna tell the party to focus on Ellison and will take a shot at the dragon instead. He hasn't done anything yet so she's still hoping he's gonna back down. Don't wanna edit the post in case dice rolls get messed up.)
Briny is usually quiet, but in this case seems perfectly frozen during the conversation. As Hex and Sylyra jump into action Briny snaps out of it and follows Hex's example to take a running leap to the left, slogging through the swamp maybe as far as behind the lily pad. As she splashes through the water she speaks loudly in draconic.
They pay you to run around and babysit paper? You are the real brains here, don't waste this chance on the cult and Tyranthraxus.
She uses her most flattering tone of voice, not attacking but watching to see the dragon's reaction instead
((trying to use some kind of persuation or charisma in an attempt to distract with flattery, due to Dragon Ancestor feature I double the proficiency bonus for CHA checks involving dragons))
OOC: Botting Uragum (guessing he's busy with the RL baby), he will follow Briny to the left and cast frostbite on Rythnax.
As Sylyra splashes up onto the central island, Ellison is reading from a spell scroll, looking toward Uragum. Whatever its intended effect may have been, the goliath is unaffected, attemping to channel frost onto the scales of Rythnax to no avail. The dragon is struck in its chest by Hex's arrow as she wades through the swamp. Ignoring Briny's call, the dragon speeds through the air toward Hex; visibly seething, he exhales a scathing line of dark green acid from his mouth. Held back by the swamp, Hex is unable to escape. The acid rolls over her, biting through skin with immense pain, and she loses consciousness within the swamp. "Wux siofme wux shilta ouith wer janikup Rythnax!?" the dragon booms from the sky with confidence, but its grimace shows the pain caused by the arrow.
Near Briny and Uragum, the water suddenly surges toward them. Slammed with brackish swamp water, Uragum stands tall, but Briny is knocked prone within the water.
Round 2 Order: Players <===== Enemies
Placement: Rythnax is 10 feet high in the air. Sylyra is 10 feet away (no difficult terrain) from Ellison, 40 feet away from Briny and Uragum on the left, 40 feet away from Rythnax on the right, and 50 feet away from Hex on the right. Hex is 15 feet away from Rythnax, 40 feet away from Briny and Uragum on the left, and 50 feet away from Ellison and Sylyra on the island. Briny and Uragum are 40 feet away from Sylyra and Ellison on the island, 40 feet away from Rythnax, and 40 feet away from Hex on the right.
Health: Rythnax is wounded.
Hex is unconscious and dying (0 successes, 0 failures). Sylyra is wounded. Briny is lightly wounded. Uragum is lightly wounded.
Briny stands up and wipes the water out of her eyes. Her gaze is suddenly caught by the dragon and the fallen body of Hex, but then she looks back at Ellison and presumably the books and papers. Glancing a last time at Hex she mutters a short curse and starts to make her way to the campsite on the island, pushing herself to make it onto dry land. (I'm hoping 20 ft of movement gets me there with a dash) As she gets close she focuses her breath and feels for the chaotic magic inside her, reaching for just a little bit more power that she has a feeling she will need for this fight. (Use a bonus action to turn my 2 sorcery points into a 1st lvl spell slot.)
"No!" Sylyra yells as the dragon flies away. He watches as the creature attacks Hex, and she falls. "No!" he almost screams again. Catching sight of Ellison, the elf turns his dark eyes on the man. Cursing in Elvish, the druid stomps up to him and swings his magicked staff at his head.
In one fluid motion, Sylyra releases one hand from his staff and yells something in Sylvan while motioning toward where Hex fell into the swamp. A transparent shape of some kind of creature appears above the tiefling.
Until the spell ends, whenever you or a creature you can see moves into the spirit’s space for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, you can cause the spirit to restore 1d6 hit points to that creature (no action required). The spirit can’t heal constructs or undead. The spirit can heal 6 times. After healing that number of times, the spirit disappears.

"Hurt you? Heck, I'm thinking lets make some new boots," Uragum taunts back as he moves towards the dragon. As he walks he pulls out his diamond and channels electricity through it and launches the bolt at the dragon.
----
Move: 20 feet towards the dragon, thinking thats only 10 ft with difficult terrain
Also, 2 posts back, made mention that Uragum had cast mage armor on himself when he saw the dragon. Hasn't seemed to have affected anything so far. This, along with the chromatic orb would have two 1st level slots used I think.
Hex awakens, but Rythnax's attention has already turned to the island. The dragon weaves through the sky, tilting to avoid Uragum's rocketing orb, and as Briny emerges from the swamp she is struck by Rythnax like a missile. The dragon's jaws take a chunk of skin from the sorcerer, the wound worsened by acid from the dragon's breath, and she loses consciousness. The dragon flies higher into the air, sneering and searching for its next target.
The insects swarming the party's starting point reappear near Uragum, biting and needling at the goliath. Near the cave, Ellison ducks beneath Sylyra's staff; the man grips his shortsword and punches out with the hilt, rather than its blade, the punch coming up short of Sylyra.
Round 3 Order: Players <===== Enemies
Placement: Sylyra is engaged in melee combat with Ellison. Briny is 10 feet away from Sylyra and Ellison. Uragum is 30 feet away from Sylyra and Ellison. Hex is 50 feet away from Sylyra and Ellison. Rythnax is 20 feet above the ground; in total, 25 feet away from Sylyra and Ellison, 45 feet away from Uragum, and 65 feet away from Hex.
Health: Rythnax is wounded.
Briny is unconscious and dying (0 successes, 0 failures). Hex is severely wounded. Sylyra is wounded. Uragum is lightly wounded.
Undaunted, Uragum continues to move towards the dragon. He raises arm again and yells out, "Flight will only get you so far!" and he fires off another blast of lightning.
Move: move towards dragon
Action: 1st level chromatic orb electric
Attack: 24 Damage: 10
Reaction: arcane deflection if something hits Uragum. Gives +2 ac or +4 to saving throw
Hex grunts as she regains consciousness and lifts herself out of the swamp, letting the warmth of Sylyra's healing magic fill her body. She immediately heals herself further and decides to stay in the healing spirit.
Sylyra's hair whips about his head as he dances with Ellison. He takes note of the man's use of the hilt instead of the blade, but the elf's ire is up, and he swings again at his head with his enchanted staff.
Uragum's electrical orb slams into Rythnax's underbelly. The dragon careens through the air for a few feet before regaining its leverage and hissing acid into its surroundings. With one last baleful glare, Rythnax turns and flees into the distant canopies of the swamp. Ellison has time only to side-eye the dragon's departure as Sylyra winds up. Ellison punches out again and the pair connect with each other, staff and sword-hilt to each other's temples, each staggering to the right as their heads spin.
The healing spirit moves away from Hex as she regains her footing, traversing the swamp toward where Briny lays.
Round 4 Order: Players <===== Ellison
Placement: Sylyra is engaged in melee combat with Ellison. Briny is 10 feet away from Sylyra and Ellison. Uragum is 30 feet away from Sylyra and Ellison. Hex is 50 feet away from Sylyra and Ellison. The healing spirit is 10 feet away from Briny.
Health: Ellison is wounded.
Briny is unconscious and dying (1 success, 0 failures). Sylyra is grievously wounded. Hex is wounded. Uragum is lightly wounded.
"It's getting away!" Sylyra yells. The elf holds his staff defensively while continuing to move his healing spirit toward Briny. Sneering at Ellison, he growls, "You've been abandoned. Why don't you tell us what was really going on here."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Finally not feeling as though a gentle breeze could end her life, Hex realises Briny is down. She instinctively makes a step towards the sorcerer but realises the swamp is slowing her down and Sylyra's healing spirit would reach her long before she could do anything. She clicks her tongue in annoyance at her lack of ability to aid Briny and the dragon gets away, deciding to start heading towards Ellison instead, taking a shot a him out of frustration.
"He's right, Ellison! It's like I told you. Neither the Cult nor the dragon care for you. Stand down!"

OOC: I'll take Sylyra's jumping distance into account with the difficult terrain. Hex's correction is noted.
I'll hold up here for Briny and Uragum to take their actions for the first round. Really don't want to bot in this situation.

A moment before the impact, when the dragon's mouth was open and rushing toward her, one last thought skated across her mind.
I'm so close! I almost found out more.
Then the pain faded to blackness

After Hex's turn:
Sylyra's hair whips about his head as he dances with Ellison. He takes note of the man's use of the hilt instead of the blade, but the elf's ire is up, and he swings again at his head with his enchanted staff.
shillelagh: Attack: 27 Damage: 13
He does take note of Hex regaining her feet and Briny losing hers, so he moves his healing spirit 30 feet closer to Briny's prone form.
