There are four stirges flying towards the party, specifically the party members who were hit with the globule of stirge-attractant - Vakiel, Augustin, and Esa.
There is a bullywug with spear and shield stepping out of the pool going to attack Augustin.
There are two bullywugs with spears and shields coming into the room coming to attack Vakiel.
The enemies get to go first.
Stirge 1 makes a beeline (stirgeline?) for Esa and tries to stick her with its proboscis Attack: 12 Damage: 7Stirge 2 attacks Augustin Attack: 7 Damage: 6
Stirge 3 attacks Vakiel Attack: 16 Damage: 6
Stirge 4 attacks Vakiel Attack: 6 Damage: 4
Bullywug 1 from the pool attacks Augustin with a bite and its spear:
Bite attack on Augustin - Attack: 11 Damage: 5
Spear attack on Augustin - Attack: 5 Damage: 6
Bullywug 2 attacks Vakiel with a bite attack and spear attack:
Bite attack on Vakiel - Attack: 16 Damage: 4
Spear attack on Vakiel - Attack: 18 Damage: 4
Bullywug 3 attacks Augustin with bite attack and spear attack:
I changed the second bullywug to attack Augustin rather than Vakiel because Augustin is closer - in my mind anyway :)
I'm going to make up some tokens if I can so I can show where the party are on a map.
Esa has a stirge stuck to her and she struggles to stay aloft with the weight of the creature on her.
Augustin took a spear to the side which hurt a lot (critical hit and 9 damage). However his armour and his impressive knowledge of how to use it saved him from further damage (would have taken damage two more times if it wasn't for Augustin's defensive fighting style).

would the creatures all be close enough for several to be in a 20ft cube? if 3 or 4 are then Stryke will cast Faerie fire, dex save 13, otherwise if only 1 or 2 are close then he will cast guiding bolt at one of the bullywugs, Attack: 22 Damage: 12 and next attack roll made against this target before the end of your next turn has advantage, thanks to the mystical dim light glittering on the target until then.
The spear and bite attacks from the bullywug both hit Vakiel but the annoying giant mozzie annoys him to the point of raging, and he will swing at the Stirge

you'd be getting Vakiel and Augustin in the cube also.
Stryke's guiding bolt takes down one of the bullywugs attacking Augustin.
Grimbald uses his bonus action to shift the hunter's mark to a new bullywug. He fires his hand crossbow again at the new target.

Vakiel's blade slipped under the bullywug's shield and bites into its side with a solid thunk! and sound of snapping ribs. The bullywug goes down, bleeding out.
One bullywug left, which is focusing on Augustin, perhaps unaware it is the sole defender remaining, or thinks the stirges will do the job.
It feints, hops to one side and pokes at Augustin with its spear, then tries to bite him.
Spear - Attack: 4 Damage: 6
Bite - Attack: 18 Damage: 2
The stirges continue to try and find an opening in the two warriors' armour.
You suffer severe bruising over an extensive portion of your anatomy. Anytime you suffer bludgeoning or force damage, you suffer an additional point of bludgeoning or force damage. The bruising heals if you receive magical healing. Alternatively, it heals on its own in 2 weeks.
Your broken nose is painful but doesn't have any adverse effect. Any magical healing mends your nose, although it may heal crooked if it is crooked when the healing is applied.
Esa's fire bolt injures the bullywug who clamped his jaws around Augustin's neck. It drops off him, the wound sizzling. Then grabs hoists his spear again.
However the bullywugs are good at this and Esa finds a sticky glob on her front.
At this point a bullywug rises out of the still water in the corner of this second cave and reaches over to the cage on the ledge and flips the lid.
A few winged creatures, each with a long proboscis, emerge and arrow towards the characters with the sticky globules stuck to them.
"Stirges!" exclaims Grimbald.

Augustin took a spear to the side which hurt a lot (critical hit and 9 damage). However his armour and his impressive knowledge of how to use it saved him from further damage (would have taken damage two more times if it wasn't for Augustin's defensive fighting style).
Vakiel took a small wound to the bullywug spear.
Party can now act.
Esa begins to panic at having the stirges stuck to her and struggling to stay in the air, she casts Magic Missile at it to try and get it off her.

The stirge is bombarded by the force damage from Esa's magic missile and drops off the fairy, body smoking.
Augustin snarls and fixes the bullywug with his blue eyes and takes a huge swing at the creature.
Attack: 18 Damage: 9
Augustin is going to take a slash at the creature that attacked him and give them a bit of the old great sword to the face treatment.
If it dies I’ll use my bonus action to turn around and swat at one that’s harassing Asa
The swing is poor, and the bullywug evades Augustin's strike.

Attack: 11 Damage: 10
Currently there are two bullywugs - one attacking Augustin and one attacking Vakiel.
There are three stirges, one attacking Augustin and two attacking Vakiel.
Vakiel swings at the bullywug closest to him. Attack: 17 Damage: 11
Esa will retreat 20ft back and cast Fire Bolt against the closest to Augustin
Attack: 22 Damage: 8
Vakiel's blade slipped under the bullywug's shield and bites into its side with a solid thunk! and sound of snapping ribs. The bullywug goes down, bleeding out.

The stirges continue to try and find an opening in the two warriors' armour.
Augustin avoids the spear, but then the bullywug steps close and bites his neck at the gap between helmet and shoulder armour (critical hit).
One of the stirges manages to find a place to lance its proboscis into Vakiel's body. He now has a stirge latched onto him, drawing blood each round.
Augustin has taken two critical hits. As per our house rules I'll roll on the injury table.
Critical Hit 1 14
Critical Hit 2 19
Augustin suffers the following:
Esa's fire bolt injures the bullywug who clamped his jaws around Augustin's neck. It drops off him, the wound sizzling. Then grabs hoists his spear again.
Augustin is hurt baaaaadddd. He’ll take another swing at the nearby bullywog on his turn as a panic looked crosses his face.
Stryke will close behind Augustin touch him and cast cure wounds 7 points of healing.
