Battlefield event: (4) Another berserker appears near Esta!...but he looks grievously wounded already!
(For expediency, unless you have something you are simply dying to do immediately, I will assume you all are able to dispatch the last 2 berserkers who are heavily wounded. If there is something you want to add to finish them off by all means add it to your next post!)
(You have 1 round to recover as well before this next bit starts. So this next round should be round 5, in case you're keeping track for concentration or other timed effect.)
The portal to Acheron flares again, and three two-headed giants stride through. One wears plates of armor riddled with spikes. From one of its helmets glints a gray gemstone. Sergeant Luggik also runs over toward you all, realizing you have spotted their behavior, and their shape changes, revealing their true form of a slaad!
"Luggik"
Rogferr
Eithne
Faith
Zot/Sotu (the plated giant)
Esta
Jessa

Ettin B (right)
Round 5
Eithne roars in rage at the realization of "Luggik"'s betrayal—but at least now she has no doubts about the culprit, nor any need to search for further evidence. All she has to do is try to kill him, so that the party can then, as a reward, absorb information from this portal as well.
Buoyed further upward by the fury of the Voices in her head, who this time share her feelings in unison, reinforcing them incredibly, the Lone Survivor rises another 15 feet (reaching a total of 80 feet) and fires arrows at the Slaad!
Eithne's Multiattack with Longbow:
1st Attack: 12 Damage: 7 (piercing)
2nd Attack: 23 Damage: 5 (piercing)
On the first attack that hits, we consider the damage to be the greater of the damage rolled in that attack and the damage rolled here (thanks to Savage Attacker feat):
9 (piercing) - or Unable to parse dice roll. (piercing) if the hit was a Critical.
Round 4
Once she doesn't have to concentrate on keeping herself alive, Faith will try healing everyone at least somewhat. With just a word, she spreads healing energy over her allies.
Casting Mass Healing Word, to heal 6 creatures (including herself) for 13 HP each. Looks like only 4 of us are wounded, so the other 2 can go for wounded solders that are in range.
Round 5
Quickly running out of her ability to cast high level spells due to having to constantly heal herself, Faith attacks the armor platted giant with an easy spell, calling Sacred Flame down apon it. With a quick word, she also heals Jesa.
Action: Sacred Flame - DC 14 Dex save to avoid 9 radiant damage
Bonus Action: Healing word on Jesa to heal 8 HP.
Round 5
Action: Dash
Move: 15 feet West and 45 feet North
BA: Hunter's Mark Ettin A
Esta curses with the fact she missed her mark, she re-adjusts herself and takes aim again - and sees the 3 2-headed giants. She gasps, but quickly asserts herself and fires another poisoned arrow.
BA: Cunning Action - Hide (Stealth: 21)
Action: Attack - Shortbow (To Hit: 19, Damage: 5 piercing, 12 sneak attack + 4 poison (DC10 Con Save))
"Luggik" spots Esta (27 perception) and babbles angrily as they rush in to attack! (Attack 1: Attack: 27 Damage: 12 + 5 necrotic damage ; Attack 2: Attack: 18 Damage: 8 + 17
Rogferr runs into a better position and marks up one of the Ettins!
Eithne pelts the fake sergeant with arrows from on high! (both hit!)
Faith ??
Zot/Sotu (the plated giant) lumbers forward to press the attack!
Esta (Is she attacking one of the Ettins or the Slaad?)
Jessa
Ettin A (left)
Ettin B (right)
(If one of those attacks hits Esta, they gain the 3 [1, Charmed; on a 2, Frightened; on a 3, Poisoned; or on a 4, Incapacitated condition] )
Here is Faith's round 5 action, it was one of the first actions posted. Round 4 she was doing healing.
SAME ROUND:
(The attack was to one of the giants, I would say the closest which would be Zot/Sotu).
As Esta fires her arrows, she turns to see the Slaad charging at her. Being nimble on her feet and quick-reactions, she will dodge, managing to stave away some of the wounds as she tries to out manoeuvre the creature.
Reaction: Uncanny Dodge
As she is hit not once, but twice (totalling 34 damage YOWZER), she becomes frightened at the creature in her presence.
Jesa moves the Hunter's Mark to Zot/Sotu, then heads to the east (30 ft) ending just behind the barricade. She grabs her javelins and launches two at her target.
(Javelin Attack: 21, Damage: 9 piercing + 5 from Hunter's Mark)
(Javelin Attack: 14, Damage: 10 piercing + 6 from Hunter's Mark)
(If one attack hits, she again uses Stasis Strike to do 5 force damage and make WIS Save DC 14 or be restrained.)
Rabbit Sebrica, Sorcerer || Skarai, Monk || Lokilia Vaelphin, Druid || Britari / Halila Talgeta / Jesa Gumovi || Neital Rhessil, Wizard || Iromae Quinaea, Cleric

Rogferr runs into a better position and marks up one of the Ettins!

Esta fires away at the armored giant! (Con save against poison: 15)
Jessa launches a couple of spears, getting the first to pierce the armor! (1 hit, 1 miss) (Wis save: 5)

Battlefield Event: 10
Battlefield Event (9): A stray bolt from the battle flies toward Eithne! Attack: 27 Damage: 16 piercing damage)
Round 6:
"Luggik" (-23) wounds begin to heal! (+10, now -13) They babble again and claw viciously at Esta again! (Attack 1: Attack: 18 Damage: 12 slashing and 9 necrotic. Attack 2: Attack: 28 Damage: 10 slashing and 15 necrotic. On a hit, also gain a condition: 2 Charmed, Frightened, Poisoned, Incapacitated)

Battlefield Event:
Round 6
[[ OOC: 19 it's a hit, since Eithne can't use her shield while using her Longbow—but since she's raging, she has Resistance to that type of damage. ]]
With the fury of the Voices still coursing through her mind and body, Eithne barely registers the scratch from the stray bolt.
'The traitor is healing, Eithne!' the Voices in the Lone Survivor's head are indignant, however.
'Go on, keep hitting it!'
'It must go down quickly, Eithne!'
'Yes—soon the others will notice that it can heal itself and help to finish it off! Hopefully, before it can kill poor Esta'. the Savage Wanderer thinks—and continues to target the Slaad.
Eithne's Multiattack with Longbow:
1st Attack: 21 Damage: 6 (piercing)
2nd Attack: 8 Damage: 9 (piercing)
On the first attack that hits, we consider the damage to be the greater of the damage rolled in that attack and the damage rolled here (thanks to Savage Attacker feat):
5 (piercing) - or 7 (piercing) if the hit was a Critical.
Round 6:
Rogferr moves 10 feet closer to Ettin A to get within range to attack. After his attacks he will move back to his original space.
Action: Attack
Attack 1: Dagger to Hit: 22 Damage: 8 piercing + 3 force
Attack 2: Javelin to Hit: 23 Damage: 7 piercing + 1 force
Attack (Nick): Dagger to Hit: 23 Damage: 6 piercing + 4 force
BA Attack: Javelin to Hit: 22 Damage: 5 piercing + 6 force
Realizing that her team was not doing well, Faith skipped attacking and did what she did best, Heal everyone...
Mass Healing word to heal everyone wounded in the party another 11 HP. The extra 2 healings will go to wounded defenders.
Esta manages to dodge the first attack from Luggik, but the second comes down with a sickening crunch. She screams out before collapsing to the floor, blood gushing out as she loses consciousness.
She then feels energy pour through her, regaining health and groggily waking up, laying in a pool of her own blood. She slowly turns and sees the Slaad standing over her, in which she panics - using her cunning to disengage from the Slaad and attempting to move as far from the creature as possible before launching an arrow back at it hastily.
BA: Cunning Action - Disengage
Move 15 feet away (as half used to stand up)
Action: Attack - Shortbow (To Hit - 8 (nat 1))
