Close to morning, Thelanis hears some rocks skittering in the dark. She looks up and sees four bright yellow eyes in the darkness and a ghoulish moan behind her. She makes out long claws and greenish slime dripping from knife like teeth. She has one round before the shambling ghouls are upon you all. Here’s the initiative order:
Thelanis shouts, "TO ARMS! GHOULS!" as she curses the nearest ghoul she can see. She then drops her book and aims for the ghoul with an eldritch blast.
Draíocht stirs at the sound of Thelanis' voice from his trance. He looks out at the approaching ghouls and reacts. His arms suddenly become elongated and chitinous as he morphs into a giant spider and unleashes a bolt of web at one of the approaching ghouls.
Bonus Action: Wildshape Action: Web-attack at a nearby ghoul, not the one Thelanis damaged badly To-Hit: 4+5 = 9 On a hit target is restrained. Can make a DC 12 STR check as an action to break out.

Amiz wakes with a jolt and grabs his shield and axe. He curses at not having enough time to don his armor. He moves to the nearest Ghoul and strikes at it with his axe.

Behind you you hear the dwarves shouting and looking out into the hills near them, they start firing crossbow's into the night:
Yuddic Crossbow Attack: 9 Damage: 10 Piercing.
Dwarves 10 Piercing Damage. (I'm using group attack rules for the dwarves as I can't be bothered rolling attacks for them all.)
Then you see what they are firing at. Two more ghouls attacking on their side of the camp, these ones with their faces eaten off so no glowing eyes to give them away. These ghould attack the dwarves while the other two bite at Amiz and Valar:
Ghoul 1 against Amiz Bite Attack: 8 Damage: 8 Piercing.
Ghoul 2 against Valar Bite Attack: 11 Damage: 8 Piercing.
Ghoul 3 against Yuddic Claws Attack: 16 Damage: 8 Slashing, and If the target is a creature other than an elf or undead, it must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or be paralysed for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Ghoul 4 against A Dwarf Claws Attack: 22 Damage: 9 Slashing, and If the target is a creature other than an elf or undead, it must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or be paralysed for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Yuddic shouts orders and the dwarves pull out their weapons and attack the ghouls fighting them. A look of terror appears in Yuddic's face as he pulls out his own mace to fight his ghoul.
You all are up. Amiz and Valar are in combat with two ghouls with intact faces, while Yuddic and the dwarves fight their own battle. Thelanis and Draíocht stand between the two groups.
Draíocht looks over with his many eyes as the dwarves begin their fight. He clicks his mandibles together pensively. I'm not sure we'll get out of this without casualties. He charges into the fray, rearing up at the ghoul near Amiz and strikes out with his bite.
To-Hit: 7+5 = 12 Damage: 1+3 = 4 piercing also 1+7 = 8 poison damage with a DC 11 CON save, but ghouls are undead so...
Draíocht moves in and attacks Amiz', while Thelanis helps Valar with the other one. Both attacks hit and both ghouls are now looking pretty chopped up. Amiz' battleaxe flies wide as the ghould he is fighting turns to fight the spider now attacking it.
Valar is up, you're in combat with one ghoul beside Thelanis, while another fights Amiz and Draíocht nearby. You also hear the sound of the dwarves fighting their own battle behind you.
Additionally, Draíocht feels the poison seep deep into the ghoul's vein. However, it clearly doesn't effect the ghoul at all, no blood runs in it's body.
All the ghouls are still up but struggling. The one fighting Thelanis whispers, "You've angered The Eaters, they will kill you all if you meddle any further." And all ghouls continue fighting:
Ghoul 1 Claw against Draíocht Attack: 5 Damage: 8 Slashing and If the target is a creature other than an elf or undead, it must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or be paralysed for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Ghoul 2 Claw against Thelanis Attack: 7 Damage: 7 Slashing and If the target is a creature other than an elf or undead, it must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or be paralysed for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Ghoul 3 Claw against Yuddic Attack: 21 Damage: 5 Slashing and If the target is a creature other than an elf or undead, it must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or be paralysed for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Ghoul 4 Claw against Dwarf Attack: 11 Damage: 9 Slashing and If the target is a creature other than an elf or undead, it must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or be paralysed for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
You all are up, please roll your saving throws if the attack hits.
