Theldrin, Avery, and Liarin are up. You've ran into this entrance chamber to the naga's lair, three large cultists and a woman in a hood stand guard. The woman raises her crossbow in anger.
Assuming Avery steps into the room so he can move forward and get a view of the cultists, Theldrin follows Liarin's Ice Knife with a Fire Bolt aimed at the hooded woman.

Sorry i wrote Dex but it was in fact the enemy's Wis save.
Here are Dex Saves for Ice Knife:
Cultist 1: 7
Cultist 2: 11
Cultist 3: 11
Toska casts Sacred Flame at the western cultist DC 12 Dex Save: 4 or 8 Radiant Damage
All these attacks hit, and the woman's eyes widen. "Kill them! They've come for the mayor." Two cultists step up to Avery, while another goes for Xanrym, smashing with their maces. The hooded woman shoots her crossbow at Avery, trying to use her Sneak Attack feature to gain some extra damage.
Having taken the cultists by surprise, Xanrym manages to dodge the cultist's mace, but he sees Avery step up and absorb and absolute beating from the other cultists. He says, "She's the bigger threat!" With a cultist in his face, he cannot effectively wield his crossbow, so he draws his second shortsword and attacks.
Movement: None, unless he kills cultist #1 who is attacking him. If he does, then he'll close distance with the woman. Action: Attack cultist #1, Shortsword: 17, Damage: 9 (piercing) Bonus Action: Attack (off-hand) cultist #1, Shortsword: 17, Damage: 1 (piercing) Free Action: Talking
The Hooded Woman takes an absolute battering from all your spells, she looks a moment from dropping. One of the other cultists looks at her meaningfully, "Get out of here Blayze! Go and get Jarvis. We'll hold them off." The woman, Blayze, nods and takes the Dash action twice, as she can do as a Bonus Action, and darts out of the room. The other cultists turn back to you all and continue the assault. One at each of Theldrin, Liarin, and Avery.

Round 2: Xanrym
Xanrym sees Blayze escaping, but the other cultists have them bottled up at the North end of the room. He tries to look down the tunnel where Blayze went, but when the cultist lands a hit with his mace, Xanrym pulls his attention back to the man who is blocking his way, using his shortswords to both defend and attack. He says, "Theldrin, can you stop her from getting away?", but he doesn't even know whether the hooded woman is still in sight.
Movement: None, unless he kills cultist #1 who is attacking him. If he does, then he'll move south up to 30' (to the southern wall, next to the doorway that leads south). Action: Attack cultist #1, Shortsword: 24, Damage: 9 (piercing) Bonus Action: Attack (off-hand) cultist #1, Shortsword: 11, Damage: 3 (piercing) Free Action: Talking
CON saving throw 13 vs DC 10 to maintain Concentration: Comprehend Languages round 7 of 600
Ugh, it was originally two hits and a failed CON save, but the forum decided to reroll everything in that post even though it hasn't been updated. Going with the new rolls, Xanrym succeeds in maintaining his concentration on Comprehend Languages.

(OOC: the narrative description says "One at each of Theldrin, Liarin, and Avery" but the attack was directed at Xanrym. I'm assuming the attack vs. Xanrym was correct, and that given her high movement in this setting, Blayze is out of Theldrin's view. If either of those assumptions are incorrect, however, I will update Theldrin's turn. Otherwise... )
Theldrin aims a Fire Bolt at the cultist attacking Avery.
