As you continue to move towards the stony mass, you notice a large, anglerfish-shaped outline following each bobbing light, and they're headed straight for you!
By the time you realize that these large fish-like creatures are likely thinking of you as food, not friends, they are 120' away and approaching fast! (They are also offset from each other by at least 60'...)
Vesta had thoroughly enjoyed the celebration thrown in their honor by Lord Neverember. She spent most of her time mingling with the guests, catching up with a few of her Harper contacts. Discreetly, of course. Discretion was the name of the game when it came to the clandestine organization. When Zyl caught the bard's attention, Vesta introduced herself and would have spent some time on small talk before the party retired for the evening. Upon meeting Vesta, Lyrena would notice that, at first glance, the sorceress appears human, with a slender frame, inquisitive green eyes, and long, red hair that falls in waves down her back. But her ears are very slightly pointed, revealing a half-elven ancestry, and shimmering, golden scales dust her cheeks, neck, and shoulders, indicating that she also has a draconic ancestor somewhere in her family tree and became gifted with innate magical powers.
Vesta gasps in awe as they step through the portal into the Astral Sea. It's a place she has read about but never even imagined she might see in person. It's even more majestic than she could have dreamed. Suddenly, they are being pulled downwards, as if by some sort of strange gravity, and the sorceress sees the gargantuan corpse of some sort of creature. Her eyes go wide as they are pulled ever closer to the huge shape. Before she can take in anything more, though, two lights start drifting their way, and she sees with horror that they are two terrifying anglerfish, their mouths full of teeth and opened wide!
Round 1: (Please post your actions. Starfishies are 120' away and 60' apart from each other. Remember, we're in 3 dimensions here!) Zylynne: Vesta: Davis: Katarina: Star anglers: Vanizi: Lyrena: ?
If she's close enough to get to the giant rock thing first Zyl will try to get there, if not she'll just keep going that way and hold her action to swing at the first space fish that gets close to her.
Davis will continue forward towards the closest Star Angler, trying to stay in the front of others to take the brunt of the attacks. He will hold his attacks until they get into melee range then attack!
15 dmg: 11
19 dmg: 11
[will assume they are not fiend or undead, LMK if they are and I can add that damage]
Round 1: Zylynne: Keeps moving towards the rock (it's about a mile away - will take a while to get there...) and holds her attack until the anglers get closer. Vesta: sends 3 rays of scorching fire towards the big fishies, hitting with all three! Davis: breaks away from the party and moves towards the star anglers (5'x12 INT=60 ft), holding his attack until they get closer. (Davis is 60' away from A at end of his turn) Katarina: ... Star anglers: The star anglers’ lures flare with enchanting starlight, targeting Davis and 2(1=Zylynne : 2=Vesta : 3=Davis : 4=Katarina : 5=Vanizi : 6=Lyrena). Make a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or have the charmed condition until the start of the star angler’s next turn. While charmed in this way, the target has the incapacitated condition and must use its movement on its turn to move directly toward the star angler; a charmed target doesn’t avoid opportunity attacks. They then move surprisingly quickly through the void (fly speed of 40'!), but not getting close enough to trigger Davis' or Zyl's attacks... Vanizi: ... Lyrena:...
Vanizi focuses on the creature furthest right. First, she casts Hex on it. Then she launches 3 bolts of energy at it using Eldritch Blast. (Spell Attack: 29, Damage: 6 force) (Spell Attack: 17 Damage: 6 force) (Spell Attack: 30, Damage: 15 force) (If one of the above hits - Hex Damage: 4 necrotic)
After attack, she also moves back away from the creatures and towards their destination.

Vanizi: hexes and blasts the fish to her right (A), hitting with all three of her eldritch attacks. Lyrena:...
Round 2: Zylynne: Vesta: Davis: Katarina: Star anglers: Vanizi: Lyrena:
Vesta propels herself toward the huge object, trying to move away from the star anglers at the same time. She turns back to them to unleash some magic missiles at them, however.
