Please make an insight check!

Insight: 2

All Khessa could determine about these creatures were that they were roving and bloodthirsty. Their origins and purpose were unclear -- all she knew is that these small killing machines were on the hunt. She saw that a few of them had stopped moving and seemed to chitter and chatter until all of them stopped and looked in the same direction as the first one who stopped. They were all looking at the very home that housed the refugees!

-- We are going to go into initiative! Roll your initiative. I'll explain how this will go in a moment when I organize the rolls.

I am rolling here for them:

1, 15, 18, 6, 1, 15

Khessa's initiative: 19

I've got 'Dice rolls not yet available for this section?, I try to roll again.

Khessa's initiative: 16

That is so odd, because just a second ago, it was showing me the rolls...

Okay! So into combat order we go!

19 - Mini Demon A & B
16 - Khessa
0 - Mini Demon C, D, E, F, G

In 3 rounds, these enemies will reach the house with the refugees. For this first round, you are alone, but I will let you know that allied NPCs will join you after this first round is over. Right now, you are unseen and would have advantage to hit one of them. Otherwise, its up to you what you might do with this time. I will say they are nearby the wall that you could collapse, but again, it would alert them to your presence.

The first 2 of this group progress ahead. They would still potentially be hit by a falling wall, but would have advantage to dodge out of the way.

'They found them!' Khessa realizes 'Damn!'

There is no more time to linger, Khessa will not remain in hiding as her weaker and worst armed companions are slaughtered! She quickly reaches the crumbling wall she had spotted, already wielding her maul. She hits the wall with all the strength of her mighty physique, inherited from her father and trained in a (however young) life of working in the fields of cabbages... and also with the strength of her despair.

As the wall collapses, Khessa yells: "They found you! Barricade doors and windows! I'm trying to get chased and lead them away!"

'Regardless of how many it hits, the wall should make them feel bad about me...' Khessa reasons 'And I'm the only target they see... They'll chase me, won't they? And the rubble of the fallen wall will slow them down, anyway'.

And she tries to be chased by monsters by going in the opposite direction to the house where the others have found refuge. Possibly in the direction of a different house that has more than one floor (if she does not spot such a house, she is content with just any building in that direction).

You wrote I had to do a Dexterity check, right? Here it is: 15

The wall bursts and debris flies free! All but one of the little monsters get pelted by age old stones. They are no buried, but damage has been dealt. Five of them that were hurt change targets from the house to Khessa!

Any hits that land deal 1 damage! Any crits deal 2. 

(I will post again in a moment, just need to see the results.)

Song: 6

Clara: 4

Aster: 13

20 - Aster & Clara
19 - Mini Demon A (-2) & B
16 - Khessa & Song
0 - Mini Demon C (-2), D (-2), E (-2), F (-2), G (-2)19 - Mini Demon A (-2) & B

"Khessa!" Song shouts out as she rushes out from the house. She is flanked by Aster and Clara. The trio of them are armed to the teeth, having heard the creatures approach. You see a flash of worry pass over Song and Clara's faces. Aster, meanwhile, seems intrigued. "Get away from her you little monsters!"

Khessa, what would you like Aster and Clara to do? They can move to reach all the mini demons, its your choice which ones they target and with what actions.

Khessa's plan was to flee and lure all monsters away from the others, but some of the demons are still headed to the house that hosts the helpless. Plus, some of her friends, worried for her, ignored her instructions to barricade doors and windows and came out to help.

'They will be torn to pieces!' Khessa thinks in terror; and while she is worried for them, she delays a bit too much the second part of her plan - to flee - and is reached by the little monsters, one of which even succeeds in leaving a scratch on her leg.

Since the situation has changed, the plan must change as well: "Get ready to fight at the door, only one enrmy at a time will be able to come! We shall prevail!"

To better allow Khessa to reach them at the door, Clara targets one of the still approaching demons with Create Bonfire - the monster must make a dex save or take 1 fire damage.

9 dex saving throw

Is Aster hanging back by the door then?

Aster will try to reach that same monster and finish him off with his rapier: Attack: 21 Damage: 4

20 - Aster & Clara
19 - Mini Demon B
16 - Khessa & Song
0 - Mini Demon C (-2), D (-2), E (-2), F (-2), G (-2)

Aster leaps forward and juts his rapier straight through the demon. His blade pierces into its very heart, or where a heart would be anyway. The creature falls over dead as Aster withdraws his sword. He looks at the rest of the creatures and visibly shows disgust. "Disgusting. Manes."

The little demon besides Aster tries to dig its claws into Aster. (4 attack, 7 damage)

(Updating them to do the real damage they are capable of.)

Khessa and Song, what will you do?
