[[ this is somewhat based on the assumption that Strahd's visibility in the graveyard isn't easily noticed, since kinda relying on being able to scare ireena ]]
Chipper continues with the plans, waving a piece of fleece to get the image of Strahd in place. Once he has it readied he says to himself, "Here goes nothing." and then bursts through the window with "Strahd" on his heels, pretending to have been hurtled through it.
In case a CON Save is needed to maintain concentration when bursting through the window (since I'm guessing they'd notice him casting a spell after bursting in) CON Save: 9+2 = 11
[[ malleable illusion would make this nicer with allowing the misty form etc., but alas, two more levels to go until that ]]
The illusionary Strahd makes his appearance as the minor illusion vocals declare the desire to bring Ireena with him. (Trying to keep it like 35-40ft at least from Lucian and Ismirck to keep it out of melee attack range.)
//don't believe he can get it to move from the created spot on the first turn since moving it requires an action
Kessintra stares after Ada in disbelief as the aasimar bursts out of the church, shakily standing up and moving towards the doors as well before stopping herself just outside the range of the Spirit Guardians.
"She has no chance. We have to hurry." She drops her blades and draws her bow, aiming an arrow at the priest.
Action: longbow to hit 15 w inspiration, damage 7+6 sneak attack= 13 piercing
Wails from the Grave 6 necrotic damage on Ismirk
Bonus Action: cunning action disengage and move back 30 feet, propping the door open if it's still on its hinges after Ada's exit.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Razz will follow Kess's lead and will try to get at close to the door as he can. If he can see Strahd, he will try to cast Sacred Flame at him. If he is not, he'll use healing light to heal Kess for 6

Except for this, because it's chronologically before Ada's turn. You cast Sacred Flame, but nothing appears to happen.

(( Do I need to roll Arcana or perception to see why nothing happened? Did the spell not go off at all or did Razz see it descend down upon Strahd and then nothing? ))
It's possible he used counterspell, but you didn't see any somatic components. You also remember that Sacred Flame can only target creatures, but you can't see why that'd be relevant.

Razz yells, 'What the heck! I've never seen that spell not hit its target at all. I mean I've seen a skeleton move out of the way in time to not get hit by it but he didn't even move. Strahd is an undead vampire right?" Razz is clearly frustrated that he didn't get to see what his spell would do the Strahd. "Anyone have any ideas what just happened?" He's hoping someone else might know more about magic than him. He's never really looked too deeply into magic beyond the spells Lathander gave him.
Kessintra glances at Razz, frowning faintly in thought. "I've seen an arrow hit him and just fall without doing anything, but it did hit him." She is reluctant to turn her attention away from the battle with Lucian and Ismirk completely, but begins to grow curious. "Chipper?"

Sorry, forgot to specify. They can't see Chipper right now, so it'd be Garrick.

I’d shield on the guiding bolt, turning my 18 to 23.
Lucian misses, Ismirk #1 misses, 2nd hits, Shortsword misses. (-8hp)

That hits Father Lucian. Ireena stares back at 'Strahd'. "You have no power over me here. I'm safe."
Ada and Garrick's turns.
Garrick does need to make the save against spirit guardians. 9 on fail, 4 on success.
I exist sometimes, especially when I'm DMing Curse of Strahd.
Garrick frustrated at his missed attacks hisses at Striker to stay with Kess in case one of them launches a ranged attack.
He turns back to Lucian and fires his bolts again.
(11 misses), 12 to hit 16dmg
Razz will follow Kess's lead and will try to get at close to the door as he can. If he can see Strahd, he will try to cast Sacred Flame at him. If he is not, he'll use healing light to heal Kess for 6
Both miss, I did edit my post to include spirit guardians against Garrick.
Lucian's turn. 8 for spiritual weapon on Garrick. He casts cure wounds for 15 health.
Ismirk attacks Garrick, non lethal. Longsword: 14 (miss) 23 for 8. Shortsword: 23 for 9.
I'm going to hold things until Ada posts.

(-17hp, 4 remaining)
Does that include spirit guardians? It's just above your post.

Nat 20+1 save. -4 = 0 remaining.
You are stable because the last thing that hit you chronologically was a non lethal shortsword attack.
You are unconscious for 3 hours.

(( Do I need to roll Arcana or perception to see why nothing happened? Did the spell not go off at all or did Razz see it descend down upon Strahd and then nothing? ))
The spell didn't go off at all. You can roll arcana to try to determine why.

Razz Arcana check: 12

(Sorry for the wait!)
Ada flies down to just within halberd reach of Strahd and attacks him with both ends of the weapon.
