Dexterity Saving Throw: 23
Quentin shoots a quick concerned glance at the ethereal dagger that has appeared at his and Grunting's back, but the continuing assault from the Cultists takes a greater priority in the rogue's mind. He looks up to see the Cultists near Gabriel and Mucor engaged in battle with his companions, and the hand crossbow comes up again. A steady breath, a quick squeeze of the trigger, and the bolt goes flying.
Attack on the Cultist directly north of Gabriel:20Damage:15
The rogue reloads quickly and this time sends his bolt toward a second target, hoping to feather the Cultist attacking Mucor.

(Any melee attacks would count)
Onyx's savage attacks hit the orc in the face and chest, attacks that would've crushed skull and bone of a normal orc but don't seem to budge the hulking orc before you. The orc absorbs the hits and smiles as he wipes the blood from his lip. "Good, your'e not all talk and no bite like the rest of your kind" and swings both axes down onto Onyx.
A: 2718 D: 68
Quentin's bolts both find their targets hitting one in the chest and the other in the throat. Both fall to the ground coughing up blood as they expire.
Grunting's armor protects her from the stab and she dodges all but one of the oncoming columns of fire. She raises her bow and releases an arrow at the fanatic as she says "KAWW" (if you want to get up close and personal all you had to do was ask.) and takes off towards the fanatic on Gump pulling out both shortswords. The fanatic smiles and swipes at Grunting with the spectral dagger as she rushes towards him.

Gabriel runs to the square ten feet south of his dwarven companion and summons upon the last vestiges of his holy inspiration to hit the orc with a Ray of Sickness. Attack: 22 Damage: 18

Mucor, feed up with trying to stab things with a spear will stomp northwest until in the square beside the cultest on the far left before letting our an angry roar and slamming the ground with both hands, sending out a thunderwave towards the two cultists on the left side
The Thunderwave will deal 17 damage if they fail a 13 con save, Mucor will then take advantage of the spores floating in the air and summon them to choak out anyone within 10 feet that is still alive.

The acolyte dodges Yera's thrust and prepares a spell in retaliation. The chieftain is struck by the greenish black ray that Gabriel releases from his hand. Con save: 8 Left Acolyte Con save: 10
The fanatic casts Hold Person on Onyx (DC15 WIS) as he says “Be still insect” and with a flick of his wrist moves the spectral dagger over behind Quentin and attempts to stab him.
Quentin- A: 19 D: 15
The dark acolytes on the left retaliate against Mucor and Yera each casting Inflict Wounds. One of the dark acolytes on the right walks over to the chieftain and casts Cure wounds healing the chieftain for: 12. The second rushes up to Grunting, attempting to impede his path to the fanatic and casts Inflict Wounds on Grunting.

Onyx suddenly feeling an invisible force attempting to restrain him, would shrug it off before looking toward the fanatic, "You could have ran and hid, but when I am finished with tiny here, you will be next."
The gray dwarf returning focus to the orc as he brings his warhammer about for another attack, then positions himself to catch his armor against the chief. Each action as reckless and rage filled as the last.

"Hey now!" Quentin exclaims as the knife slashes at him from behind, but the nimble rogue manages to avoid it's spectral edge. He glares at it and prepares a litany of colorful and creative curses but stops himself before loosing them as he realizes that he'd be mouthing off to an inanimate (more or less) object. He gives a very deliberate "Harumph" and looks back toward his companions, all of them now a healthy distance into the northern chamber and deeply engaged with the enemy. The rake throws a quick sidelong glance at the disembodied knife and gives it a little nod of his head, "Been fun dancin' with ya Slashy, but I gots 'nuther engagement. Live yer' best life ya dangerous lil thang."
Quentin then surges northward, hugging the western wall as it curves and opens wide into the chamber proper. He proceeds until he finds himself about fifteen feet behind both Yera and Mucor, with his back pressed against the cold stone of the cavern wall.
Full 30' feet of movement used, ending between Mucor and Yera but pressed against the wall SxSW of their position.
The rogue's arm rises, pointing his hand crossbow at the Acolytes that are engaged with his allies. "Tell Vaedril that Riverwood says 'Howdy'." He quips before loosing his bolts at his foes.

Onyx's hammer pings off the side of the Orcs battle plate but is pierced by the sharp point on Onyx's armor. A small trickle of blood leaks from the holes as Onyx pulls back.
Quentin's bolts both find their targets hitting each in the abdomen. As Quentin runs the dagger takes a swipe at you. The acolyte north of Yera grab their side but continues to fight despite the pain. The one east of Mucor doubles over but remains standing shakily.
Quentin- A: 23 D: 14
Grunting yells "KAWWW" (Out of my way) and presses forward towards the Fanatic taking an attack from the acolyte's club. A: 20 D: 2 Grunting makes it to the Fanatic and leaps of Gump's back with both swords pointed out attempting to skewer the fanatic on landing. Both shortswords stab into the fanatic's shoulders.
A: 2619 D: 111
The chieftain laughs in spite of the damage he's sustained and says, "It'll take more than that" and swings down at Onyx with both axes.
Before she was able to raise her blade again, Yera noticed Quentin's yelp and saw the cult leader's mystical dagger withdraw from his flesh. Suddenly aware of how much harm this magical artifice was able to do, the halfling's piercing glare shot squarely over to the fanatic. (She uses Channel Divinity: Rebuke the Violent as a reaction. The fanatic must make a DC 13 WIS Saving Throw. On a failure, they take radiant damage equal to the damage they dealt (13) with an attack on one creature on their turn (Quentin). On a success, they take half of that damage.)
(On her turn proper) During her brief glare, Yera the acolyte with which she was engaged swiftly reaching for her with a sickly green black hand. Barely noticing in time, she swatted away their hand with her shield just as they were but inches from her throat. Negative energies washed over the steel of her shield, bathing in Yera in a ghastly green light. Before her attacker was able to retaliate, she swung her shortsword in a sideswipe towards them.
Mucor's horn pierces the side of the acolyte as Mucor lifts him up and shakes his head choking the acolyte to death and ripping a huge chunk of flesh off as the acolyte falls dead on the cave floor.
Gabriel's axe is parried by the orc's axe as he give Gabriel a glance and says, "The more the merrier".
Yera's shortsword strikes the acolyte in the abdomen but is unable to cut through the leather armor. Fanatic Wis Sav: 13
Fanatic: The fanatic, furious at being attacked by this sea beak reaches out to touch Grunting and casts Inflict Wounds and moves the dagger closer to the group.
Acolytes: The acolyte closest to Yera will again attempt to cast Inflict Wounds on Yera. The acolyte next to the chief will touch Gabriel and cast Inflict Wounds while the acolyte on the far east will rush to aid his master and cast Inflict Wounds on Grunting.

Gritting his teeth against the pain of the wound in his back, Quentin surges forward further into the chamber. The rogue is determined to keep up the pressure on the enemy, and if they can continue to thin the numbers arrayed against them, it might possibly provide some much needed breathing room to focus on the more dangerous threats. Quentin's booted feet echo the swiftness of the rogue's maneuver, halting abruptly a few paces to the northwest of Mucor.
Full 30' feet of movement used, ending in the square that is 2 west, 1 north from Mucor's position.
Seeing the enormous Orc chieftan bearing down on Onyx and Gabriel, Quentin steadies his aim and sends a bolt streaking toward the distracted warlord.
Attack on the Orc Chieftan:20Damage:15
The archer quickly reloads his weapon and sends his second bolt at the Acolyte still caught between Mucor and Yera.
Bonus Action; Crossbow Expert Attack on the injured Acolyte by Mucor and Yera:12Damage:10
Yera's eyes grow wide as her opponent reads her feint, swiftly bringing their fetid hand around her throat. Just as the necrotic drain of the spell's energy begins pulling the life force from her veins, there is a glimmer in her eye.
Yera uses the reaction granted by the Second Chance feat to force her foe to reroll their attack.
"When a creature you can see hits you with an attack roll, you can use your reaction to force that creature to reroll."
(I honestly wouldn't know. 😬 I didn't want to push it on whether it counts for all melee attacks on my turn or only my first melee attack. )
