While your assault does seem to surprise Korm, he is quick to recover with the assistance of his vault servants. One of the animated armors interposes a metal arm, causing your weapon to veer off course. Your second, corrective swing connects with Korm's metal cap, sending it off his head and skidding across the ground. That is when you realize that the horns you once though were affixed to the helm are instead connected to Korm's skull. Leering at you with a bloodshot eye, Korm makes a quick motion and you are held fast in place by some strange magical force akin to Hold Person. Leaning down to look you in the eye as you struggle against his magical hold, he chuckles, a pustular boil on his head wriggles with soon to be born dire fleas. "You I'll save for last....."
About that time a blast of arcane missiles from Peren slam into Korm, distracting him from his taunting. Looking up, he howls at the two vault servants. "Don't just stand there you rocks for brains! Get them!" And the two animated armors spring to action, one running towards Peren and the other closing in on Mirabel.
Now we can go to initiative.
As a note:
Gavin, you are currently about forty feet away and about to ascend the nearest spiral staircase to the catwalk around the Spell Engine when Korm's Command wears off on your turn.
Kathra, you have Hold Person cast on you and you can make a DC 13 Wisdom save at the end of your turn to break free and act the next round.
I'll roll for Mub and act for him on his turn.
Feel free to roll for initiative now and I'll post the start of the round once we're all in.
You briefly notice, as you almost trip over it in the confusion, that on the ground near this side of the Spell Engine, lies a long fish-shapes skeleton with the head replaced by a gnome's skull.
Have at it! As things stand, Gavin is 40 feet away from the action, Peren has a Vault Servant closing in as does Mirabel. Korm is near Kathra, but she is currently held via Hold Person.
Gavin, shaking off the effects of the spell turns around understanding what just happened. Pushing through his anger and embarasssment of letting a two-bit wizard do him like that, he moves forward 30 ft. “Tempus give me strength to destroy my enemies!”
((Action)) He casts his cantrip, toll the dead at Krom, who needs to make a15 Wisdom DC or take 5 necrotic damage. Krom’s save (not sure of his modifier): 20
((Bonus Action)) Gavin casts spiritual weapon targeting Krom as well. Attack: 25 Damage: 5
((of course I roll a nat 20 on his save and two nat ones on damage. Hopefully he misses his concentration check on holding Kathra))
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As before, Mirabel's Lightning Bolt vaporizes the Vault Servant in an explosion of metal, wood, and bone. The bolt of lightning extends further, partially striking Korm as he dives out of the way.
Mub, ever the silent and mercurial aven, springs into action, shooting two arrows from his bow towards the Vault Servant harassing Peren.
Attack 1 vs AC: 22, 12
Attack 2 vs AC: 10, 7

((Kathra, I need a Wisdom saving throw from you and then we will move to initiative.))
((EDIT: Oh, and I need Perception checks from Gavin and Peren.))
As Peren sees Kathra attack Krom, he smiles, then cast magic missile at Krom
All 3 darts will hit Krom
12 = force damage
((Opps, My screen was not refreshed, Sorry Meta))
Wisdom saving throw: 6
((Welp))
Peren Perception check = 13
For Kathra:

As a note:
Perception check: 14
((Rage away Kathra, let’s smash this fool))
Peren Initiative
18
For Peren and Gavin:
You briefly notice, as you almost trip over it in the confusion, that on the ground near this side of the Spell Engine, lies a long fish-shapes skeleton with the head replaced by a gnome's skull.
Initiative: 18
((Tempus will be pleased here shortly))
Initiative: 7
((OMG Kathra! Law of averages say you should be rolling nothing but high teens for weeks now...saving those high rolls for combat, right?))
Mirabel sighs. "Well."
Initiative: 10
Mub's Initiative: 9
Enemy Initiative: 9
Initiative is as follows:
Have at it! As things stand, Gavin is 40 feet away from the action, Peren has a Vault Servant closing in as does Mirabel. Korm is near Kathra, but she is currently held via Hold Person.
Gavin, shaking off the effects of the spell turns around understanding what just happened. Pushing through his anger and embarasssment of letting a two-bit wizard do him like that, he moves forward 30 ft. “Tempus give me strength to destroy my enemies!”

Peren will cast firebolt at the vault servant that is approaching him
Attack: 7 Damage: 15
Gavin's Toll washes harmlessly off of Korm, however, the divinely manifested weapon strikes true.
Korm's Concentration roll: 8
Peren's spell glances harmlessly off the Vault Servant bearing down on him.
EDIT: It seems Korm's concentration wavers, allowing Kathra to slip free of his magical hold and be able to act this turn.
Mirabel maneouvers into a position that hopefully would allow him to hit Korm and maybe one of the automatons. If not, just Korm.
Then he casts Lightning Bolt.
DC 14 Dex save for Korm 19 plus his modifier.
Dex save for Automaton (maybe) 19 plus modifier.
Failed saves take 21 damage or half on a successful save.
As before, Mirabel's Lightning Bolt vaporizes the Vault Servant in an explosion of metal, wood, and bone. The bolt of lightning extends further, partially striking Korm as he dives out of the way.
Mub, ever the silent and mercurial aven, springs into action, shooting two arrows from his bow towards the Vault Servant harassing Peren.
