This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
On the shoulders of the Sword Mountains...
Five feathered and scaled forms rush at Titus and Kryinor. Six shafts fly to meet them. Four long shafts sink into reptilian flesh. Two of the creatures screech and fall to the stony ground thrashing in mortal pain.
As the remaining lizards close Carp give a hoot, and a stone leaves his whirring sling.
Carp Attack Raptor 1: Attack: 12 Damage: 2 The stone bounces of scales and feathers getting a hiss of pain in return!
OOC: Roll for initiative for the group please Titus!
"By Clangeddin's beard, ye have proven yer bravery and dedication to duty sergeant, qualities I regard highly. It would be a shame to remove yer head now, so I will hear yer Lord's words."
The three remaining reptiles rush in to close the gap. Two break towards Kryinors massive furred form and the last to Titus.
When they are only 20 feet away all three leap in unison and fly at you with crooked legs ending in sharp knife long talons!
Raptor 1 [Titus] Attack: Attack: 20 Damage: 5
Raptor 2 [Kryinor] Attack: Attack: 18 Damage: 9
Raptor 3 [Kryinor] Attack: Attack: 25 Damage: 10
OOC: If pounce attack hits must roll DC 10 Str Save or fall prone.
Outside the Old Manor...
The very relived looking Sergeant looks to you all and then his men, "Thank you Master Dwarf, Master Wizard, Master Warrior. For a moment I thought we had got off on the wrong foot." He punctuated the comment with a rueful smile. "Would you please fall in I will take you to Lord Beddamere presently."
Then lightning flashes and thunder claps, a cold breeze picks up and blows leaves around the armoured men and dwarf.
From on high a familiar voice interrupts the talk of fighting men and wizards, "No need Sergeant, I have come to our friends to save some time and to cause the Heroes of Phandalin as little inconvenience as possible." The last words were spoken with a slight sneer.
Then the Lord Beddamere floats gracefully down and hovers 10 feet above the gathering with a shimmering sphere of arcane force surrounding him.
Arms folded and a stern look on his face he asks, "Good Sirs, Do you know the whereabouts of Master Harbin Wester?"
"Ach, what tom foolery is this, what yer doin' up there??
That spineless jellyfish is in a safe place where he can do no more harm to the good people of this town, much of the ills that have passed here can be laid at his door! He has yet to make recompense for his misdeeds!"
"So you're telling me that you kidnapped the only witness to the murder of Lord Sildar and imprisoned him against his will, and I can only assume, some kind of ill-conceived clannish instinct of your kind, has driven you to this act of insanity?" Lord Beddamere folded his arms across his chest, frowned, and continued. "Master Dwarf surely you know that actions of this kind could not go unanswered? These are not the acts of Heroes, they are the acts of outlaws."
A contemptuous snarl spread across the Lords face, "It is clear that the 'taint' of this place..." He indicated the ruins of the Manor, once the hide out of the Redbrand Bandits with a sweeping gesture of his arms, "...yet lingers and has infected your band of 'adventurers," he pronounced the last word with extreme distaste, "and you have reverted to your unpleasant type."
Pointing his finger at you all Lord Beddamere raised his voice and in his most official imperious tone spoke, "You will give up The Townmaster to my custody as a witness of the Lord protector, and for your misdeeds you will all leave Phandalin or face imprisonment and trial for banditry and insurrection. You have till dawn to produce Harbin Wester and depart."
The looking down at the Sergeant, "Sergeant take you men and see to their needs, I want you ready for anything come the dawn."
On the shoulders of the Sword Mountains...
The Creature hits Titus full on and knocks him to the ground one long talon sinking white hot into his gut.
The other two are met mid air by Kryinor in snarling wolf form.
Raptor 3 Str Save V DC 13: 13
Blood stains the ground in profusion and all three land skidding on the lose dirt and stones. The huge wolf with blood and feathers in its jaws.
The Raptor standing above Titus lunges in with snapping jaw...
Raptor 1 Attack Titus Bite: Attack: 20 Damage: 6
The other two circle and press the advantage of numbers on Kryior...
Raptor 2 Attack Kryinor : Attack: 22 Damage: 9
Raptor 3 Attack Kryinor : Attack: 25 Damage: 6
Young Carp in the old twisted tree hoots and hollers trying to get the attention of the Raptor on Titus while his sling whirs and another stone flies loose!
Carp Attack Sling Raptor 1: Attack: 19 Damage: 7
The stone strikes the creature in the temple and its eyes roll up into its head and it falls limp atop Titus!
"Yahooo, Gottim!" yells Carp in triumph.
Carps yell of victory is cut short however, a much louder deeper reptilian roar sounds form the other direction behind the combat taking place.
Three more Raptors emerge form the darkness, one occupying the middle is much larger than the others near twice the height of a man, it looks old, battle scarred and fearless...
"Ach, yer welcome t' that toad, he admitted he witnessed naught of what passed between Sildar and Gundren, only that he ran and hid t' save his own worthless hide! He is in the cells below, the same abode the bandits used to murder townsfolk whilst they ruled this town, all by Westers leave. I go now to find Gundren and the answers to all these riddles, I know if I can catch up to him, all will become clear!"
Kryinor howls in pain as the gashes open wide, his eyes lock with the large raptor before his coat starts to shimmer and shine (Bonus action - Combat wild shape lvl 2 spell slot) 15
Turning on raptor 3 he attempts to clamp his jaw down on its skull and crush it....
Breccha glares at Beddamere still wondering why he has not spit his head open. Perhaps that time will come. He looks to the dwarf for his lead lest his ancestral rage make that time now.

I stop advancing on the guards
"By Clangeddin's beard, ye have proven yer bravery and dedication to duty sergeant, qualities I regard highly. It would be a shame to remove yer head now, so I will hear yer Lord's words."
Zaxx almost audibly breaths a sigh of relief when the dwarf stands down (as much as he can given his modest stature).
"Good captain, it seems we are all in agreement then," he smiles, a little too manically.
"Shall we?"
Zaxx gestures vaguely in the direction of where he thinks the Lord may be waiting.

Both shortswords drawn, Titus grunts with pain as the lizard strikes through.

Kryinor lunges up to meet the raptors attack.
Strength Check : 11
He is rewarded with deep cuts in his flank, he howls in pain before clamping his jaws down on the wing of Raptor 3.
Attack: 12 Damage: 6
Attempting to throw the raptor to the ground. (If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.)

Despite the dwarf's bravado, Zaxx stammers at the berating from Lord Beddamere.
"Errr ... ye ... yes. We're just ... just ... going to leave now."
He takes a tentative step away from Beddamere, gesturing desperately.
Titus rolls to his feet and attacks the two raptors on Kyrinor.
Att 1: Attack: 11 Damage: 5
Att 2: Attack: 23 Damage: 5
if one is below max hp it gets another 8
