Only Vakiel is affected by the croaking of the bullywug hiding inside the dragonskull. The croaking seems to go on inside his head forever, making it difficult to think and act. Vakiel is stunned until the end of the bullywug's next turn.
Taking advantage of Vakiel's condition - as if they were expecting it, two bullywugs strike at Vakiel, first stabbing with their spears and then closing to bite. The other bullywug will do the same to Augustin.
Bullywug 1 attacking Vakiel with advantage.
Spear - Attack: 17 Damage: 7
Bite - Attack: 23 Damage: 8
Bullywug 2 attacking Vakiel with advantage.
Spear - Attack: 23 Damage: 6
Bite - Attack: 9 Damage: 2
Bullywug 3 attacking Augustin normally
Spear - Attack: 14 Damage: 4
Bite - Attack: 7 Damage: 5
Those that failed the save DC12 against the staff-wielding bullywugs croaking song of marshy doom take 7 psychic damage AND you have disadvantage on Con Saves until the end of the bullywug's next turn. If you passed your wisdom save then there is no effect, not even half damage.
Now Vakiel's nose is broken also. No effect but is uncomfortable.
More serious is the stab wound from the spear. Vakiel now has a horrible scar in a visible location (you get to choose where).
Horrible Scar. You are disfigured to the extent that the wound can't be easily concealed . You have disadvantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks and advantage on Charisma (Intimidation) checks. Magical healing of 6th level or higher, such as heal and regenerate, removes the scar.
Augustin was unfazed by all croakings and all attacks against him missed.
The bullywugs strike! As well as the three - one severely injured - attacking Vakiel and Augustin, another bullywug comes from behind, from that side passage. It is trying to be stealthy so need a perception check from Esa and Grimbald. Stryke as far as I know is partway into the room after healing Vakiel.
This round the staff-wielding Bullywug Croaker croaks a song that is an ode to an elder froghemoth. Each bullywug seems to be invigorated by the song.
The big bullywug inside the dragonskull has a long spear, which it lashes out and tries to skewer the stunnedVakiel. Augustin notes with horror there is some kind of black oily substance on the blade. Probably poison of some kind.
If I've read it correctly, with an AC of 14 only #2 hits me, but with both attacks... Without wanting to write myself off this early - were those attacks all with advantage because I'm stunned?

The party may now act.
Run up and touch vakiel and cast cure wounds 4 bonus action arrow at shaman Attack: 16 Damage: 8
Once again the Bullywug Croaker's hide armour absorbed the impact from the luminous arrow.
Augustin strikes at one of the bullywugs, hoping to take out one that is attacking his comrade.
Attack: 17 Damage: 10
The bullywug Augustin struck is severely injured, but not out of the combat.
Vakiel is now rocking a cut from forehead to ear tip, cutting through his eyebrow.
I’m assuming I’m stunned this round.
Yep. You heard the croaking voice in your head - "Nickelback are a good band" - and you are in stunned disbelief.
Going to assume Chris is still doing his other stuff so I'll roll for Grimbald.
The dwarf stamps his feet in a squirrel battle dance and fires his crossbow at the injured bullywug.
Attack: 13 Damage: 12
The crossbow bolt lodges in the bullywug's wooden shield.
What the dragonskull looks like
The bullywugs
we need to come back to this when we have a base to add as a decoration, I mean to honour the noble dragon.
Esa doesn't have much left, so she's going to keep going with Fire Bolt when its her turn. Attack: 13 Damage: 7
Targetting the magic user
Once again the Croaker's hide armour saves him, and the firebolt blackens the tough hide but doesn't hurt the bullywug.

Two bullywugs attack Vakiel with bite and spear.
Bullywug no.3 attacks Augustin.
The bullywug sneaking up from behind is trying to be stealthy. Stealth roll 10. This is what Grimbald and Esa have to equal or beat with perception.
Grimbald perception check. 21.
Grimbald cries a barking cry of alarm, and the bullywug coming from behind realises the gig is up and lunges to attack the dwarf.
Vakiel's stun ends, he can act as normal, even if that is just to bleed out on the floor.
