(@MB: It looks like you used two bonus action attacks recently in posts #385 and #395, and I seem to remember at least one more before that. I'm happy to assume you had one charge left at the beginning of this turn, but then I think that's it.)
Utar spares a thought for the stubborn kobolds and swings a lit Lightbringer at the nearest kobold. Once again, it takes two hits of the magical mace for the half-orc's foe to be brought down, but the deed is done. (Swolbold#11 takes 30 magical bludgeoning damage and is DEFEATED.)
Running the risk of not landing a blow in this fight (a first for Graxx, I'm sure), Graxx swings his axe wildly before Utar and Neya kill them all. The first swing decapitates one of the swolbolds with the aid of a radiant flash of light. The second strike spills another kobolds' intestines on the floor. (Swolbold#16 takes 31 magical slashing and radiant damage and is DEFEATED; Swolbold#12 takes 33 magical slashing damage and is DEFEATED.)
Tempus' Dogma also summons rotating spectral blades around the barbarian. Their only valid target is the sleeping swolbold. The creature wakes up due to the new cut on its back. Graxx tries to finish this swolbold off with a third swing of his axe but hits the ground instead. (Swolbold#15 takes 7 force damage.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
SB notices something approaching from behind. The two winged swolbolds from before play the role of cavalry, even if their arrival might be a bit tardy. Ignoring the familiar, they instead launch one javelin each at Obsben. They have apparently replenished their stocks, likely from the fallen kobolds in the previous room and/or outside. Both wizard and familiar are aware enough for these sudden attacks to not be a surprise.
Though not surprised, Obby is unable to duck in time. Two glancing javelins hurt her as they fly, before they bounce off the walls and floors and lose their momentum. (Obsben takes 16 piercing damage.)
Graxx barely notices as two new small scars are added to his collection. (Graxx takes 9 slashing damage, already halved.)
The swolbolds hiss and drool in their own version of combat rage.
07. Swolbolds (x3) - {AY-25} and {AY-26} are 15ft in the air;
MAP:
NOTES: Obsben can see the entire circular chamber. Winged Swolbolds are marked with a red dot in the lower right corner of their tokens. Yellow triangle represents Sleep. The double doors connecting the two rooms are open, with one of them busted broken.
"Now THAT wasn't very nice wasn't it!" Obsben exclaimed sharply after shifting from holding her shoulder to stomping her foot at the pair of fliers. "That's it! Youtwo are grounded!!!" Hearing those words, Salty Bottom knew what was to come and IMMEDIATELY fled back into the chamber with the rest of the party. At first he seemed to search around for places to hide, only to somewhat unintentionally dive for the still standing Kobold in his panic, grappling for his face and generally making a nuisance of himself while trying to hide on its person.
Obsben pays none of it any mind. Instead, her eyes turned black and mouth practically unhinged itself to inhalfling porportions; the inside of the latter appearing more a dark void as some dark, alternate version of herself is summoned for a few moments. Then came the howling of wind as dust, stone, and increasingly larger debris began being sucked closer to the void... along with the Kobolds should their bodies prove not quite so resilient enough to stand the great suction.
Though just as abruptly as her 'spell' took its course, it abruptly end with her snapping her mouth close and returning to normal again. Well, mostly normal, aside from the heated glare leveled at the pair of kobolds.
Movement(SB): To AR-26.
Action(SB): Distracts Kobold(AQ-26), providing adv. on next attack against it.
Action(Obsben): Cast Call of the Void directed towards both flying kobolds. Con Save(DC 16) to take half of 26 Force Damage and not be pulled 15ft(5ft within of Obsben).

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Utilizing the shadows of the this underground site, Neya sends herself behind the winged swolbolds (to AZ-26) and lets loose two arrows at the closest one.
Splashbow Attack: 20 Damage: 9 (11, 6)
Acid Check (if any the other swolbold is nearby, Dex DC 16): 11 Damage:1
Splashbow Attack: 11 Damage: 6 (11, 8)
Acid Check (if any the other swolbold is nearby, Dex DC 16): 3 Damage:2
(Oof... 1-in-400 chance of the same roll and it happened...)
Obsben shows her discontent with the two new arrivals. In anticipation of what is to come, SB flies back into the circular room and flies directly toward a swolbold's face, forcing it to pay attention to the familiar. Neya tries to take advantage of this, releasing two arrows at the distracted foe. Unfortunately for her, distracted or not, the creature's armor still does its job of deflecting the projectiles.
Not paying attention to the fight in the circular room, Obsbenmagically calls the flying swolbolds to her. One of them is caught in the spell, but the other manages to flap his wings intensely enough to resist the pull. Several pieces of loose debris and roots also fly toward the halfling, though in a nonthreatening manner. (Swolbold#9 takes 26 force damage; Swolbold#10 takes 13 force damage.)
(@Ori: Great visual describing that spell. You have earned a DM's Inspiration token.)
(Utar and Graxx are up next. The kobold at {AQ-26} still stands. One of the winged kobolds has been forced to land right in front of Obby at {AV-26}. The other one is still 15ft in the air at {AY-26}.)
Turning on his heels, Utar books it out of the circular room and prepares to bring the (war)hammer down on the flying swolbolds (move to AU,25). His pauldron glowing as he hustles, half of his face bathed in holy light. His spectral warhammer appears behind the flying swolbold at AZ,26. It swings, attempting to strike it between its shoulderblades and force it down towards the ground.
Looking down at the grounded swolbold, he frowns before trying to apply Lightbringer to its head.
Attack: 22 Damage: 7 plus 2 from divine strike on a hit. (Attack 1d20+10, Damage 1d6+6 plus 1d8 on a hit.)
If defeated, Utar will take the grounded swolbold's position infront of Obsben.
(OOC - Apparently no dice rolls are available so this is likely now going to read as manipulated dice rolls. I've added what the rolls should be in brackets after as I've no idea what they would have been originally, at least that way maybe someone can roll them later?)
Noticing the new arrivals, Utar turns to join Obsben in deterring the winged swolbolds. The one that remains afloat is hit in the back by the Tormite's freshly summoned Spiritual Weapon, while the one on the ground is smacked by his physical weapon. They both look pretty hurt but are not backing away. (Swolbold#10 takes 9 force damage; Swolbold#9 takes 9 magical bludgeoning damage.)
Graxx shows no sign of hesitation in putting another enemy down. It is obvious to everyone but the barbarian that the first slash is enough to claim this foe's life. Lost in his rage, Graxx attacks again. (Swolbold#15 takes 63 magical slashing and radiant damage and is DEFEATED.)
NOTES: Obsben can see the entire circular chamber. Winged Swolbolds are marked with a red dot in the lower right corner of their tokens. Yellow triangle represents Sleep. The double doors connecting the two rooms are open, with one of them busted broken.
(OOC: Ah~ Sweet, sweet, Dm inspiration~ Thank ya boss!)
Obsben hissed in pain and retreats a step; her eyes full reverting back to normal in the process. In the wake of the movement however, Salty Bottom flew through the entryway to start pulling at eyelids, screaming, and slap its tiny hands uselessly against the Kobold's face in revenge! Obsben takes the chance to circle around as that happens, digging out a handful of tiny tarts and feathers to shake at the flying Kobold."You wanna hear a good joke about paper? Me too! 'cause all the ones I know are tearable!"She yelled in draconic before flashing a toothy grin as the magic laced with her words weaved invisibly around the kobold.
Action(Obsben): Casting Dad Joke on Kobold(AY-26). Wis Save(DC 16) or become incapacitated and fall Prone, taking 6(6) Fall damage and being alotted another Wis Save to try and break out of the effect.
Future Reaction(Obsben): If hit with an attack between 14 and 18, cast Shield.
(@Drache: You have more than one source of advantage and more than one source of disadvantage on your first shot, so you get a straight roll. Hence, I'm going by the first die in your roll. Your second shot would have disadvantage due to proximity, but that is already a miss in any case.)
SB goes full ape-s**t in defense of Obsben, disturbing the swolbold nearest to his master. Almost as insane, Obsben somehow produces tiny pastries from a pocket and a feather from another. Surely, the halfling and her primate have gone mad!
The story-teller moves a bit closer to the other kobold and waves her props while telling a cheesy joke. The performance works, and the winged swolbold can't help but start laughing uncontrollably and plunging to the ground as a result. Pain awakens the dragonling from his spell-induced bliss. (Swolbold#10 takes 6 bludgeoning damage.)
Neya takes advantage of the grounding of the second kobold, as well as the two sources of light, and teleports to the shadows right next to the prone foe. She then shoots two point-blank arrows at the creature, hitting him only once due to the awkward proximity to the target. Thankfully, her inner Ki power keeps her steady even for such an imperfect shot (3 Ki Points use.)
The accurate arrow splashes into a contained acid bubble. The swolbold survives by the skin of his fangs. (Swolbold#10 takes 13 magical piercing and acid damage.)
Utar does his best not to get in Graxx's way but then proceeds to put an end to the fight by himself. Lightbringer (a third source of light, in fact) ends one swolbold's misery, while the Spectral Warhammer ends the other's. (Swolbold#9 takes 12 magical bludgeoning damage and is DEFEATED, Swolbold#10 takes 6 force damage and is DEFEATED.)
Spernik is alive but still not a threat (at least not for the next seven or so rounds.)
