With Garrick and Striker taking the frontline, Chipper scurries up a nearby tree to get away from the reach of the blights.
[[ 30ft climbing speed in addition to walking speed, so can use the full 30ft for this. ]]
Once situated he raises a hand an utters, "By flame and spark I like the air, a flaming lance to pierce and tear!" A streak of fire hurls towards the remaining injured blight.

[[ This is probably a terrible idea. In fact, having DMed such a situation not that long ago I know it's a terrible idea. Yet in the heat of the moment I hope it's a great idea! ]]
Chipper takes a look at the field. So many blights. So so many. Garrick and and Striker were holding strong for now, but for how long? He examines the area, hoping to see something that could be used as kindling to start a fire. "I've got a bad feeling about this." he mutters to himself before unleashing another bolt of fire. This time not at a blight but at the environment itself.
You enter into a room with strips of iron and wood lying in neat piles on the floor. The walls are lined with tools. Two worktables stand against the east wall.
Kess fires one last shot at the blights, killing one, and follows Garrick in.
Longbow: 18 for 11 damage
Chipper's turn.

[[ By my count there's 15 blights left, 1 of them being damaged, right? ]]
Chipper is caught up in the excitement of battle, of seeing the flames begin to cackle. "We've got them where we want them!" he calls out to Garrick. "With the protection of the winery and trees the battle is ours!"
Chipper points a finger to the injured blight. "♫ Ding dong ding dong; you'll fall with a ding dong ♫"
[[ If no injured blight, then fire bolt Attack: 17 Damage: 7 fire ]]
After casting his spell he then scurries further up the tree to be more out of reach of the blights, but still close enough that he can come back down to be within 60ft of them and back up.
The fire below the blights spreads. 5 of them are currently ablaze.
Being on fire damage: 6
The injured blight dies. 6 of the remaining 13 of them crowd around the bottom of Chipper's tree. The rest follow Garrick and Kess. They're right outside the front door.
Garrick's turn.

Kess is wary of the footsteps, but the blights are the direct threat for now. She aims past Garrick out the window and looses another arrow at the closest blight.

fire bolt
To-Hit: 13+7 = 20
Damage: 1 fire
Want to set the area the blights are in on fire to start a spreading burning area that'll catch more and more blights as it grows.
...and then we'll have to figure out a way to deal with everything being on fire...
