"Um, well. Yeah. Not exactly what I was hoping for." Xarian's low voice sounds rueful and sheepish. "But the bottleneck might still be good. Take a step back so you are level with us if you can get clear,Richter. Zira, I'm thinking glance back behind us in case the noise attracts someone?"
Ash flies in the face of the creature just north of the big man, flapping her wings and taking the help, then uses flyby to wing back to the front line without incurring opportunity attack, retreating to a tunnel nook above and beside Krizira. Xarian swings his maul around once more. Backhand this time, left to right, but again imbued with the thunderous energy of his Booming Blade cantrip.
Xarian'sBooming Blade attack with maul on creature just north of him, at advantage, due to help: To Hit (advantage): 21 Damage: 11 bludgeoning Forced Movement (Crusher feat): on a hit, creature is launched diagonally northeast 5' Secondary damage (Booming Blade): if target is still alive and moves voluntarily before Xarian's next turn, it takes 1d8 (8) thunder damage.
Xarian holds his maul one-handed as he finishes the arc of his swing, ready to use his reaction to cast a spell (Shield) if needed with his free hand.
"On my way,"Richter twirls the longsword in his hand experimentally before gripping it with both, swinging at the monster directly in front of him. Whether or not it's enough to take it out, he quickly backsteps to get in line with the others.
Krizira takes aim at the creature located 20 ft. directly in front of Xarian. (Not the 1st one in front of him but the one behind that, presuming they do not have cover. If he has cover she'll just target the one in front.)
(Longbow Attack: 25, Damage: 8; if the shot hits, she will activate Arcane Shot - Bursting Arrow: 2d6 damage to each target within 10 ft. of target. By my estimate this should hit all enemies except the two farthest to the right. Not sure if damage should be rolled once for all targets, or separately for each target?)
((I'm DMing under the influencer and no one can stop me 😈
@Krizira: Just roll the damage once. Reading the feature, I presume it works like Fireball.))
The creature falls as Richter'sblade cleaves it in two , the upper half of its torso falling backwards. You realize that as numerous as these things are...They don't seem to be very tough.
Krizira'sarrow flies between Xarian and Richter, taking one of the thralls in the backline right in the shoulder. The arrow begins to glow with a bright white light, crackling as it overflows with arcane power....
Syl steps forward, thrusting her rapier towards the creature(thrall?) directly in front of her. Green fire spirals around the blade, splashing over to the creature immediately to the left. Light on her feet, she resumes her place in the defensive line.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The tip of Syl'sblade pierces the monster's torso, setting it aflame with green fire that spreads to the one standing next to it. The second creature screams as the fire consumes its skin, and its left shuddering after the damage is done - just barely still standing.
As the young half-elvish woman steps away, it and another of the creatures swipe at her with their claws.

Screeching fills the cavern as the horde of humanoid monstrosities surges forward, slamming into your line like a wave. Two of them begin to crawl up the walls of the tunnel, going over your heads to get around (Their movement is 5 feet up, then 10 feet "south", they're the ones that are now to the left of Richter and right of Sylnora).
Three others fill the space in front of you.
One of them slashes a claw at Richter, then lunging forward as it attempts to bite him.

Action Multi-Attack C(A) against Sylnora Claw Attack: 15 Damage: 4
Xarian feels the bone creatures' claws glance off his splint armor, and notices that most of the attacks against his companions miss as well.
Somewhere deep in his psyche, his own voice is screaming that something is very wrong here... the flesh nest and the bone creatures... Are these the victims of the cultists, transformed into these abominations on behalf of their... 'Lord of Bone'?
He pushes his encroaching fear down, his voice coming in a low mutter. "Nice work so far. Let's clean this up, then figure out what we're dealing with."
Once again, Ash flies forward from above Krizira, into the face of one of the bone creatures currently within the 5' reach of Xarian'smaul. One of the UN-injured ones if Xarian can reach them, otherwise the one just to his northeast (in front of Syl). The owl uses Flyby to retreat back to safety behind the line.
Xarian attacks once more with his maul and Booming Blade, this time with an inside-out forehand swing. At advantage due to Ash'shelp. To Hit: 24 Damage: 14 bludgeoning Forced Movement: (probably doesn't matter but target launched 5' diagonally NE and possibly upward, wherever there is a free space, due to Crusher feat). Secondary Damage: (probably doesn't matter but target takes 2 additional thunder damage if they move willingly on their turn due to Booming Blade).
Once again, after his follow-through, Xarian grips the maul one handed, ready to cast a spell as a reaction with his free hand.
After the first claw finds purchase in-between her armor, Sylnora grits her teeth and lets loose an arcane word of protection. The rest of the creatures' blows scratch against a barrier of arcane energy erected between them, sparing her some of the punishment.
She also turns to one of the monsters trying to slip past them on the wall, thrusting out with her rapier.
(Reaction):Shield (Action): Rapier Attack Attack to Hit: 23 Damage: 8
Krizira backs up about 20 ft. wanting to get back but not too far from the others. She fires her bow at one of the creatures that tried to climb up. (If one is still alive. Otherwise just the nearest ahead of the others.)
(Longbow Attack: 20, Damage: 5)
(OOC - Sorry for the delay, been traveling to deal with a family issue. Not a lot of time but should be able to still check in.)
Richter'slongsword bounces off rock as it misses the boney monstrosity crawling along the wall. One of the creatures is killed as Xarian'smaul launches its limp body through the air with a powerful strike from his maul.
Sylnora'srapier sticks between the ribs of the one crawling along the wall next to her, and it falls to the ground at her feet as Krizirafinishes it off with an arrow through its open mouth.
Letting out a piercing cry, the creature crawling along the wall to the left drops down behind Richter, turning on him and lunging forward with its claws.
