Vakiel growl (I mean, he’s not talkative at the best of times, let alone when he’s raging) and move into melee with one of the Iron Guards attacking Grimbald. Flanking if possible in case that helps any of us.
Augustin looks around at what's closest to him, which he believes to be the Drake Rider and takes another swing at him. If hes not available he will move to the next closest enemy in range. If there is none he would like to get to someone who needs healing.
He is opening not to target the new recruits but get them to surrender, they might just be innocents being roped into this against their will.

Esa's magic missiles and Vakiel's black greatsword quickly despatch the two Iron Circle Guards before they realise what was happening.
There is only the Drake Rider left, fighting RL.
Grimbald fires two crossbow bolts at the Drake Rider, hitting both times.
Augustin closes the gap between them, stepping over the body of the drake, still dribbling blood from its severed stump of a neck. He swings his greatsword, which strikes home.
The Drake Rider is bloodied, having taken several serious wounds.
"For the Iron Circle!" he cries. "For our Lord Asmodeus!" and launches a flurry of attacks at Augustin. He attacks recklessly, without regard for defence. "For my Twinkle! The best mount a man could have had!"
Two shortsword attacks with advantage:
Attack: 16 Damage: 6
Attack: 21 Damage: 6
If either of those hits, he does an extra 6 piercing damage.
Grimbald finishes off the Drake Rider with two crossbow bolts to the chest.
Augustin rethinks his strategy of grappling someone in a moonbeam, realising that would put him in the moonbeam as well.
The party take a breath, looking at the bodies around them. Absolute carnage.
Then the realisation that they are being looked for. The Iron Circle see your group as a threat. Or.. that maybe they have something the Iron Circle want? Information? An Acorn?

Do you all want to take a short rest before moving on to Albridge?
Esa definitely suggests a short rest, and will go perch on Augustin.
"Did the magic human really try to wrestle a drake? You'll end up with more than a broken nose one of these days!"
RL agrees on a short rest, anyone need any healing spells?
Vakiel retracts his wings, shaking his head at the insanity of taking on a drake in that manner…and surviving.
Happy to short rest for the others.
“Do we need more of a plan for heading into Albridge - especially if they are on the lookout for us?”
scouting would be good
