This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
(OOC: @mister, if you allow, and since Flinn didn't use his BA I'm going to make him use one of his potions. Now, I can't find his potions anywhere in his sheet, but I'm pretty certain each one of us had 2. Flinn used one on the mouther's cave, but when we returned to Tormere we restocked. So everyone should still have 2. Flinn recovers 6 HPs (was 10 before editing). And I do this because I think your ruling is that drinking a potion is BA. If that is not the case and you prefer we go RAW, then let's ignore this)
Rhaenyswatches with increasing worry how the necrotic barrier has hurt both Flinn and Korba. While it is true that the cultist now lies dead, and that Jodiehas patched up Korba, there are still two dragonnels next to them all, and the leader is still very much alive. So the changeling is faced with doubt. Should she tried to grab a single dragonnel as she agreed with the half-drow, or should she go for the leader instead...? He is pretty dangerous too!
Making a quick choice, that she hopes goes well, she says:
- I'm sorry Korba, but I will change tactics! Sorry for making you waste a spell! And Hewelathan, I know we talked about leaving one alive, but I can't risk that cultist hurting any of us further!
With that, the pale changeling stands up from behind the wooden box she was hiding behind - which, fortunately, prevented her from receiving the harmul spell the cultist leader threw at her - and moves to have a better view of her target. As she holds Stafford in her left hand, she joins both hands, mutters an incantation and small lightning rays begin to appear within her clasped hands. They begin to grow in intensity and when the sorcererss directs them towards the cultist, the miriad of small rays suddenly grow into a single massive lightning strike.
Stafford decides in that very moment that Rhaenysshould match the spell she's just casted, and without changing her face or body shape at all, he gives her skin a bluish hue and decorates her bare arms with sinuous silver lines that that emulate the lightning rays she's just summoned.
OOC:
Flinn status update: HP 16/24(if @mister allows him drinking a potion). Spell slots: 0/2. Bless on Jodie/Korba/Hewelathan is still active). Flinn has used 1 of his 2 potions.
Rhaenys' Lightning bolt (7th level) damage is: 39. Leader has to make a DEX ST DC 16.
The dragonnel roars as the lightning bolt singes it, but manages to avoid the worst of the effects. The cultist, however, got a full-force blast. He cries out in agony as he gets hit with the full force of the lightning bolt!
The four guards move into position and fire their crossbows at the cultist leader.
Guard 3 manages to land a hit on the cultist, who is still somehow alive... but he was badly injured. He uses his action to cast spirit guardians. Then he points a finger at Rhaenys and yells something in Draconic to his mount...
The dragonnel charges towards the sorceress who just hurt it, striking at her twice with its claws!
Lead Dragonnel Rend attacks vs. Rhaenys Attack: 20 Damage: 10 Attack: 17 Damage: 11
(Rhaenys does have half-cover from the crates she was hiding behind)
The dragonnel then returns to the air (because of flyby it does not provoke an attack of opportunity). The other two dragonnels attack Flinn and Hewelathan
Dragonnel 1 Rend attacks vs. Flinn Attack: 13 Damage: 10 Attack: 13 Damage: 12
Dragonnel 2 Rend attacks vs. Hewelathan Attack: 9 Damage: 11 Attack: 13 Damage: 13
Rhaenys watches in horror as the leader's dragonnel charges towards her. She instinctively cowers behind the crates and this saves her from one of the attacks, as the creature fails to strike her flesh, meeting the wood of the crates instead. When the second attack is about to wound her, this time it is the sorceress' magical abilities that take place, and a protective arcane shield appears surrounding her thus deflecting the dragonnel's claws. The blue and silver skinned changeling breathes in relief when the cultist decides to take to the skies again...
Next to her, the paladin raises his own physical shield and avoids the attacks sent his way.
((Thanks for the initiative summary. a LOT happened while I slept...))
Managing to resist a bit of the aura, Korba still winces due to the sheer aura they give off, causing him to loose concentration on his Hex. Angry, he charges towards the leader, longsword held in both hands, he swings towards it ((btw, what race is the leader?))

Attack: 22 Damage: 11
The leader appears to be a half-elf. Also... he is currently flying on the back of a dragon, do you have a way to get into melee with him?

Jodie eyes the two dragonnels engaged in melee with Flinn and Hewelathan. "It's a wolf, it's a man, it's Wolfelathan!" (Bardic Inspriation)
Seeing the larger threat of the leader and its mount, Jodie begins the complex tune light my fireand with the final note, holds her breath awaiting Smiler's approval. The sky where the cult leader ignites and looks like a small fireball, though it is in fact a flaming heart enveloping the cult leader and mount. Jodie blows a kiss towards the leader as she watches him burn.
The cultist passes his save... but his dragonnel does not. It crashes to the deck in a smoldering heap, bringing the cultist leader with it. The cultist lays prone on the deck, but not quite dead yet...
After knocking the cultist (#2) prone, Wolf-Hewelathan lands back on all four paws next to his mount. Despite the large size, Wolf-Hewelathan is quite agile. He crouches low and springs backward, out of the way of one of the dragonnel's slashing claws. The dragonnel almost catches him with the second attack as he pivots and turns in a circle: its claw comes down where the wolf's head had been but instead swipes harmlessly through the fur on his haunches, merely sending some loose fur floating up into the air, not causing any real harm.
Worf-Hewelathan spins back around and lunges, teeth snapping, at the dragonnel (#2). As he lands on all four paws again, he circles around to the "front" of the two dragonnels, putting himself between them and Rheanys and Jodie. He bares his teeth and makes a horrible, deep growling sound.
Movement: Moving around the dragonnels while staying within melee range. Hewelathan wants to position himself between the dragonnels and Rhaenys and Jodie. That way, they cannot get to the women without giving him an opportunity to attack agin. He hopes that facing a beast nearly as large as them might intimidate the dragonnels, especially after the smoldering body of the armored dragonnel crashes to the deck. Action: Melee Weapon Attack dragonnel #2 w/ bless, Bite: 28 (advantage from pack tactics) Damage: 13 piercing The dragonnel must succeed on a STR saving throw (DC 13) or be knocked prone. Free Action: None

Flinn' round 3.
Seeing his chance to strike once again at the leader cultist, Flinn doesn't doubt for a second. The paladin raises TruthSeeker high to gain momentum and stabs the lying man's heart. To hit: 28 / 19. Damage: 10
With the cultist leader struck by the combination of lightning, fire and sword, Rhaenys considers that threat to be taken care off. So she returns to her original idea of restraining at least one of the dragonnels. Who knew, if they could tame one of them that could prove to be fun...
"You do mean 'useful', right?"
"But of course! Useful. That's definitely what I meant."
"...sigh..."
- I'll try to restrain that dragonnel! - she announces, and points to dragonnel#2 - All help will be very much appreciated!
Rhaenys then focuses her gaze on dragonnel#2, extends a hand towards it and begins to push...and squeeze... and push again. The creature is strong, way stronger than the gibbering mouther was, and the changeling isn't sure that she's going to be able to pull this off again without Korba's weakening spell. But she does try anyway. Her intention is to move the dragonnel towards the nearest wall to keep it restrained between that wall and the invisible force she and Stafford are commanding.
OOC: Spellcasting ability check: 15. Dragonnel#2 needs to make a contested STR check. Stafford: 38/50.
