"Yes. Amidor is an awakened plant, a dandelion. A hopeless romantic and a middling poet, but an excellent guide and a decent fencer. Its beloved companion is a bee named Pollenella. You'll find them in the mountains of Yon. Only Amidor knows the route through the mountains of Yon to the bridge that leads to the front gate of the Palace of Heart’s Desire."
Matilda is struck by how insane that would be if not for the fact that she's currently having a telepathic conversation with a unicorn and recently escaped from a cottage surrounded by talking frog-people heads on sticks.
"A dragon-like creature called a jabberwock still lives in Zybilna’s palace and frequently prowls the forest. The jabberwock occasionally tries to reach this pool but it is always turned away by the lake’s protective magic. You would be very wise to avoid the jabberwock, for once it sets its fiery eyes on prey, it rarely gives up the hunt. When Zybilna ruled Prismeer, no one could enter her palace without an invitation. But it’s unlikely that the Hourglass Coven is capable of enforcing similar restrictions on the palace."
(Titaani is now on shore, at a respectful distance from Lamorna and Tiny; Matilda is treading water just offshore, the owlbear has joined her. Are Ben and Horatio still on the island? If so, they would not be privy to this conversation, other than Titaani's and Matilda's remarks.)

"The jabberwock is not intelligent. It can be baited like a common beast of the forest. It is attracted by music and..."
Just then, a cloaked figure springs from the forest and, with blades flashing, attacks the unicorn. Under the assassin’s cowl, you see a wide, toothy smile.
Dagger Attack #1 vs. Lamorna: 8. Hit: 10 piercing damage. Dagger Attack #2 vs. Lamorna: 19. Hit: 9 piercing damage.
A shimmering, magical field appears around Tiny.
Roll initiative! Lamorna: 18 Assassin: 5
Titaani is 30' away, on the beach shore. Tiny is 10' away. Matilda and the owlbear are 30' away in the lake (swimming distance) Ben is 45' away in the lake (swimming distance) Horatio is 250' away in the lake (swimming distance) unless he joined Ben.
( Oh my... Horatio was totally trying to respect the whole 'sacred grove' thing and I didn't pick up on the range limit to the telepathy, so, back on the other shore then? )

Initiative: Matilda: 17 (30' away in the lake, swimming distance) Assassin: 10 (attacker) Ben: 3 (45' away in the lake,swimming distance) Lamorna: 3 (Unicorn, being attacked) Titaani: (30' away along beach) Horatio: (250' away on islet) Owlbear: 6 (30' away in the lake, swimming distance) Tiny: 8(10' away along beach)
Matilda swims as hard as she can. She manages to make it to shore, and begins to scramble to her feet near the attack.
The little gnome gasps in horror as the assassin attacks her new friend. “Hey! Hey, stop that right now! You...you evil, nasty person!”
When it’s her turn, Titaani will remain where she is, though she summons a ball of crackling purple energy into her hands, her eyes glowing purple as she releases an Eldritch blast. (9 to hit in game log)
On Tiny’s turn, he will attempt to escape the magic bubble he finds himself in: (7)

Tiny finds the shimmering field is protective, and not a restraint. He gingerly retreats down the beach toward Titaani.
Titaani's ball of crackling energy flies wide, missing its target.
Irritated by the party's intrusion, the assassin tries to again sink his two daggers into the unicorn before disengaging and retreating 30 feet into the underbrush. The wooden fake unicorn horn he has affixed to his head with a belt falls to the ground. He appears to be an orc, although he's unusually short of stature for someone of orcish heritage. (He might pass for an ugly, beardless dwarf were it not for his rotting tusks and grayish pallor.)
Dagger Attack #1 vs Lamorna: 9 Hit: 10 piercing damage. Dagger Attack #2 vs Lamorna: 7 Hit: 10 piercing damage.
The owlbear charges ferociously out of the water toward the assassin (dash) and is now just 10' away from him, at the edge of the brush.
Initiative: √ Tiny: 19 (30' away from unicorn along beach) √ Matilda: 17 (prone, at shore's edge, 5' from unicorn) √ Titaani: 10 (30' away from unicorn along beach) √ Assassin: 10 (attacker, 30' away in underbrush) √ Owlbear: 9 (10' away from assassin at edge of brush) Ben: 3 (45' away in the lake, swimming distance) Lamorna: 3 (Unicorn, being attacked) Horatio: 3 (250' away on islet)

Ben:
Swimming as fast as he can, Ben races towards the shore (15’ move action) then finds himself suddenly standing between the unicorn and the now fleeing assassin (Misty Step bonus action).
Standing protectively in front of the unicorn, Ben calls out, “May the light of Sune smite thee” in an uncharacteristically formal tone. Sunlight briefly streams from the sky and bathes the fleeing assassin in holy radiance (Action to cast Sacred Flame).

Horatio freaks out. "Noo!" He jumps into the lake and swims as fast as he can. (( Dash Action = 30 feet ... I'm not going to make for eight more rounds! ))

Ben swims frantically toward shore before vanishing in a silvery mist and reappearing near the unicorn., He pulls flame-like radiance down upon the assassin. The wily killer in the shrubbery tries to dodge it. DC13 Dex Save: 18
Horatio, up until now enjoying the serenity of the islet, dives in and begins to swim as hard as he can across the placid lake.
"Be careful,"instructs Lamorna, telepathically."Good luck." She vanishes abruptly, disappearing silently into thin air.
The assassin curses from the bushes. "I didn’t know unicorns could do that,”he mutters.
" Dandelion?", Matilda said confused.
"Yes. Amidor is an awakened plant, a dandelion. A hopeless romantic and a middling poet, but an excellent guide and a decent fencer. Its beloved companion is a bee named Pollenella.

Ben:
(Ben will go next after Matilda and the owlbear, so he is likely in transit and may have heard the tail end of some of the telepathic conversation).
"Oh," he says quietly as the unicorn's voice enter his mind. "Have we told her about our ill-fated battle with Bavlorna?"

“No...” Titaani says sadly. “Mrs Unicorn, we’ve tried to battle a hag before, but she was too strong for us. What hope do we have against a dragon?”

Matilda glared at the person attacking Lamorna with incandescent rage and pushed herself towards shore as quickly as possible.
" That one you can eat.", she said pointing at the figure as she scritched owlbears head.
( In the unlikely event that Matilda can make it there this round: Attack: 22 Damage: 6 otherwise Dash to get there. )

( Can I just use the previous attack roll for Matildas turn when it comes around? :) )
Sorry nope. (For regular reasons and maybe for special reasons 🤷🏽♂️)
Matilda got up and followed the owlbear towards the Very Bad Man.
