Four things I hate in D&D: People who think the tarasque is the most powerful (an empyrean or kraken can beat it), players trying to seduce bad guys (it's funny though), when a monster roles a NAT 20 (everyone hates that), rolling a NAT 1 (everyone hates that)
Goradus prepares for his next trick. He looks at the other Ankheg, concentrates, and three glowing darts appear. "Take this!" He says as he sends the darts towards the remaining opponent.
Dart 1 damage: 4
Dart 2 damage: 4
Dart 3 damage: 4
(OOC: I don't know how I rolled a 3 on every single dice roll, but it's better then rolling 1's with the curse so I'll take it.)

Ankheg B is bloodied. Still no one has taken damage. Krissa, my fellow Bostonian, your turn.

Krissa should kill it. If y'all kill two Ankhegs, an encounter that D&D math says is difficult within taking a single HP of damage, your characters are gods.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
OOC: Yep
Ankheg B, sensing it is outmatch, attack the group with an Acid Spray attack, moving into position so that Bruin, Krissa, and Derizyn are in the area. Bruin, Kriss, Derizyn need to make Dexterity Savng Throws (DC 13).On a fail, they take 8 acid damage, or half of that (rounded up) on a successful save.
Current Campaign(s): Dungeons, Darkness, Drow, and Demons, an Out of the Abyss Adventure, Dungeon Delvers, a Dungeon of the Mad Mage Adventure, Jungle of Evil, a Tomb of Annihilation Adventure
Isn’t it rounded down, because in D&D you always round down?
Round Down
There’s one more general rule you need to know at the outset. Whenever you divide a number in the game, round down if you end up with a fraction, even if the fraction is one-half or greater.

DMs guide also says that the DM can bend rules at their discretion. None of y'all have taken damage on what is supposed to be a hard encounter, so I'm rounding up!

Bruin curses the ankheg as the acid seeps through his mail to burn his skin. (Dex save: 8, takes 7 damage)
His companions feel the air pressure drop for an instant, before a bolt of lightning strikes at the beast. (Reaction: Wrath of the Storm: Ankheg takes a DC13 Dex save, 9 lightning damage which is halved on a successful save).
Without pausing to see if the bolt kills the beast, Bruin brings his cutlass around in another great swing, taking advantage of the assistance from Krissa's fire bird. (To Hit: 20, 5 slashing damage.)

Krissa senses flare when then ankheg caustic spray streams in her direction. Raw instinct screams backflipand she escapes most of the damage (Dex22 3 acid)
"So back to the camp then? We can return tomorrow and pick up the trail." Out of nowhere the friendly owl flies and lands on Krissa shoulder. She hums a ballad to her feathered friend to persuade him to stay another day and help keep watch. (DC 13 Wis)
"Oh and I believe I promised dinner..." Krissa opens her hand and offers 10 Fireberries. "Do you like cinnamon? Try one. They'll heal your wounds. One is enough to fill your bellies. Half tonight, half tomorrow?"
“Alright.” Derizyn agrees, good naturedly. “I usually frown upon killing, but Ankhegs don’t have the souls that humanoids have…”

Krissa swings the imbued club to put the ankheg down (11) and misses her creature. "Nussiance!" she curses.
She commands her fiery phoenix to "Distract the creature" to aid Bruin's attack. (bonus action)
