"I'm sorry... I'm just freaked out... I'm Rhys, I'm a local, I was hired by some soldiers to care for their horses. They just got attacked by black-cloaked figures and I hid and escaped. You all looked well armed, maybe you could help out the soldiers, they were decent fellows."

Ok, Hort charges ahead. Rhys follows, saying he'll warn you when we are coming up on the place.
"Okay, its around that bend. I'm gonna hide here if you don't mind."
A wrecked wagon lies toppled, surrounded by armored corpses. Strange figures pick through the remains. From beneath the figures’ dark cloaks jut scaly wings and sharp, reptilian features.
Four creatures have brassy scales and are taking orders from the larger one with reddish-copper scales. Seeing Hort charge up, the large one says in a sinister voice, "Oh look, another hero" before ordering two of the others to attack.
Hort, and any others following, please roll initiative.

Hort would move 4 squares straight up and then attack B2, using his Precise Strike ability to gain advantage and an extra d8 if the attack hits. Then use a bonus action to use hammering horns to try and push B2 10 ft into the embankment
Attack 9 damage 14
DC 13 Strength save or be pushed 10ft away if the initial attack hits
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Tram will move forward and cast Infestation on B2. (CON DC 15) or take 5
Target also moves 5 feet in a random direction if it can move and its speed is at least 5 feet. Roll a d4 for the direction: 1, north; 2, south; 3, east; or 4, west. This movement doesn’t provoke opportunity attacks, and if the direction rolled is blocked, the target doesn’t move.

Matti has been lost in thought much of the journey so far. To be chosen by Reorx himself? Such a great honour! How could she ever live up to that? However perhaps she would now finally be able to find His Chisel, now that she had his blessing.
Lost in reverie she is slightly taken aback by the sudden outburst of the man on the road, but as soon as she sees the creatures standing over the fallen bodies of the soldiers she comes back to her senses - these people must be avenged, and others protected by these evil-doers! How dare they attack these innocent travellers! She is just so angry she has to
RAGE!
Her vision narrows onto B2, and she runs at it bellowing "To the depths with you, foul being! Yaaah!" Swinging her maul with all her might.
Tram says, trying to comfort and get some details; "What's wrong. Slow down. What monsters. Where?"

I'm going to change up how I do initiative next combat, I'll make one roll per side using average init modifiers. I rolled for matti, got a 13.
Enemies rolled a 4 and a 1.
The coppery one orders two of the brassy ones to "Engage and return to the unit when you're done." Then it and the two others turn to leave.

Kalindi and Tram's spells both hurt their targets, but Hort's attack falls short.

Matti's blow absolutely crushes the head of the draconic creature.
However, rather than merely collapsing, the corpse instantly turns to stone and emits a noxious gas enveloping Hort and Matti.
Hort and Matti need to make DC11 Con saves.
