Brigand A, after being twice shocked by lighting no longer carries a smile. He slashes out at the bloodied Roo and the bird goes down in one attack (Crit, 12 damage)
He then moves to the next target, which happens to be Virro. Flanking with C, his first scimitar slice runs a cut right across the elf's shoulder (4 damage). But his dagger misses.
Lulu moves closer to brigand B, but when she tries to spear him with her tusks, she misses.
Brigand C just about turns around to face the elf at his back when the suit of armor in front of him goes down and the fire goes out. But then it turns blue and shouts out? He scowls and decides to put it down.
But in all the confusion he whiffs each and every one of his attacks!
Corlith turns and sees Roo about to take a nasty hit from the brigand, and reaches out to distract them. Their misfortune becomes Roo's fortune, and even though the strike still hits Corlith calls out encouraging the Gallus to strike back.
"Strike back, Roo. Now!"
Reaction: Cast Silvery Barbs. grant advantage t Roo and use Voice of Authority to allow Roo one weapon attack with his reaction against the brigand that hit him.
Roo looks surprised as Corlith saves his nuggets, then squawks and retaliates with his mace, smacking the Brigand with fury...
"We've left a trail of broken bodies miles long to get to you. What makes you think you can stop us?" Roo says, cold and dark as the mace cocks back and flies again while Roo backs up, bobbing around and trying to make himself a hard target.
Turn Summary
Reaction- Attack w/ Mace: Targeting Brigand A. 22 to hit, 6 damage Action- Booming Blade w/ Mace: Targeting Brigand A. 17 to hit. 7 bludgeoning damage + 8 thunder damage = 15 damage total. Additional 9 damage if Brigand moves more than 5 feet. Movement: Backs up 5 feet diagonally. Bonus Action- Cunning Action Disengage
Virro backs up five feet while mumbling. He is looking to his shield as he does this. Once seeing that he is in sight of all three of the brigands, he holds the shield up high. The Hidden Lord, as he likes to be called, sends out his aura of dread. Those in the 20' radius feel a sense of foreboding, it crawls over their skin but then passes after just a brief moment as if it senses that you are not a threat to Virro.
But the brigands, though they tried to resist (none made the save) are now all frightened of Virro and his shield until the start of the creatures next turn (I read this as not the turn coming, but the one after - else what's the point?)
IronMaiden's hand goes quickly to Archie's pack where they know there is a greater healing potion, as they pull it out, their chest plate opens and Archie's head lops forward limp, pale, and bloodied. Ironmaiden force-feeds the potion into Archie and then closes their chest up burying Archie once more.
Action potion delivery 13hp of healing, Archie saved!
I'm then throws down a contraption under the healthiest looking brigand which whirrs and glows and his clothes begin to lift as he struggles to stop himself being levitated 20ft into the air. (Dc 16 Con save)
Frightened, brigand B turns away from Virro and focuses his attack on Lulu. And with all his attacks at disadvantage as he quivers with fear, he misses with all three.
He contemplates trying to light up one of the brigands with a flask of alchemist fire, but everyone is in such close quarters, he doesn't want to risk burning one of his friends.
Reed, instead, quiets his mind, tells the spirits circling about to 'hush' and then lets an arrow quickly fly towards at one of the brigands (B).

Action - Short bow - (15, 15 + 8) = 23 to hit for (10+5) = 15 piercing
Corlith surveys the scene ahead of him now he has stepped back, and sees all his companions still up for the fight, except for Reya which surprises him a little.
"The best defence is a good offence", he says to Reya with a smile, trying to encourage her back into the fight, even from range.
Seeing Roo almost down after the near deadly strike from before, he concentrates his energies on the brigand next to him. He holds his hand up and speaks a word of infernal, and a bolt of icy energy flies at it. He repeats the word and another follows straight after.
Action: Cast [spell]Ray of Frost[/spell on Brigand A - To Hit: 4+9=13, Damage: 8+3=11 [cold] - on hit slowed by 10ft until Corlith's next turn.

Brigand B's eyes go huge as he is suddenly and unexpectedly lifted up into the air. While he is trying to figure out what happened, Reed's arrow sticks into his upper thigh and he cries out in pain.
Both of Corlith's rays go wide as he surveys the battlefield.
Reya attempts a smile back at Corlith, blood and sweat in her eyes, she tries to wipe it away. She nods and pulls out her new wand from Candlekeep. Feeling a bit foolish holding something magical, she closes her eyes for a second but then opens them to make sure she hits her targets. The magic missiles shoot straight out of the tip of the wand, two going to brigand A (8 damage) and two going to brigand C (5 damage). And Reya's smile is growing.
Brigand A, frightened of Virro and his shield stays where he is, not being able to move any closer and dodges.
Lulu flies under the levitated B and attempts to ram brigand C but misses.
Roo takes a moment to lick his wounds, the light of Gallus shimmering around him and he heals up some of the considerably nasty injuries he's sustained...
Turn Summary
Action- Lay on Hands: Uses last 5 points to bring his HP up to 7
As Archie falls and IronMaiden takes over, brigand C is completely thrown. Scared of Virro and his shield and now this madness? He attempts to put the suit of armor back down, but misses all three of his shots as he can't stop looking over his shoulder at Virro.
Virro smiles as the fearsome shield scares the brigands, he sneers and smiles at them with a horrible pleasure. He reaches out to touch Brigand C, but he has difficulty connecting with him, electricity arcing from his fingertips. He waves his hand and a spectral axe appears in the 5’foot space to the south of him, it swings at Brigand C, seeming to connect with him. “Sit still and take your medicine!” he says to the Brigand. He says to the Ironclad companion beside him, “Archie? Archie… you still with me?”
"Her state has improved, she is reacting well to the potion, though I will finish this battle for her, to protect" IronMaiden shouts on over to virro.
With brigand C effectively out of melee range IM focussed attention on Brigand B, moving around to get flanking with Lulu, the iron maiden swings out twice.forst with Archie's handaxe (16 to hit, 8 slashing) and then an off hand with her light hammer (22 to hit, 4 bludgeoning)
(Ironmaiden hit C as B is the one levitated, I adjusted as needed)
B, completely confused as to why he is flying 20' above everyone else.. he starts pulling daggers from his belt and whipping them at the IronMaiden. Both hit with 11 total damage. Roll CON save to see if he stays up.
The IronMaiden's joints begin to cease as the daggers gum up the works, though they maintain concentration, (14) hoping that the guy has no more daggers.
Reed laughs at the sight of the bandit flying up in the air. He takes a breath and lets an arrow fly at him, hoping that helps stop the daggers flying.
Bonus Action - Steady Aim
Action - Short Bow - (2,7 + 8) = 15 to hit for (9+15) = 24 piercing.
Corlith shakes his head in annoyance at his inability to hit the brigand next to Roo, but resolves to try again and hope for a better outcome.
He once again holds his hand up and speaks a word of infernal, and another bolt of icy energy flies at it. As before, he repeats the word and another follows straight after.
Action: Cast Ray of Frost on Brigand A - To Hit: 9+9=18, Damage: 3+3=6 [cold] - on hit slowed by 10ft until Corlith's next turn. Bonus Action: Use bracers to cast Ray of Frost again on Brigand A - To Hit: 8+9=17, Damage: 7+6=13 [cold] -on hit slowed by 10ft until Corlith's next turn (doesn't stack with previous effect).
The arrow from Reed's bow pierces deep into the man's torso. He cries out in pain and blood starts running down his side and dripping from his hanging foot..
Both of Corlith's rays hit dead center on brigand A and he about falls over from the battering of them. But he keeps his eye on the rooster that is just out of his reach.
Having taken a short breather and with Corlith's inspiration, Reya runs back into the battle, focusing on brigand C as she does. Happy to be using her swords again, she attacks. But she misses with both swings of her long sword, so she jabs with her shortsword, dealing 6 damage.
Brigand A, freezing, decides to stumble forward and wring that chicken's neck. But with his first step, the thunder damage left behind by Roo overtakes him and he falls to the ground, dead.
Lulu, bolstered by Reya's reentrance to the fight, hits brigand C with her magical tusks, dealing 5 damage to the enemy.
"Ha ha! Take that, you scoundrel!" Roo says in triumph, dashing across the room and cackling as he goes. He runs around the group, looking for a route from which to attack Brigand B, and eventually finding it on the south side of the room. "Quick! Tell them to send more badguys! I don't want to get bored when I kill you and we're running out!"
The mace flies, smacking the shit out of Brigand B...
