-> The following characters are now frightened and may re-roll the save at the end of each of their turns: Boomshakala.
The monster then goes berserk:
-> Tail vs. Selrahc: Attack: 32 Damage: 24 bludgeoning (see edit below).
-> Selrahc' STR saving throw {DC 20}: 26
-> Horns vs. Selrahc: Attack: 30 Damage: 28 piercing (see edit below).
-> Claw vs. Yessaris (prone): Attack: 30 Damage: 21 slashing.
-> Claw vs. Yessaris (prone): Attack: 30 Damage: 19 slashing.
-> Bite vs. Yessaris (prone): Attack: 29 Damage: 39 piercing.
Edit: I forgot to account for Selrahc's dodge again. Here are additional rolls for those Tail and Horns attacks, in order: 32 and 28 - nothing changes.
The Tarrasque brings its tail around in an attempt to trip Selrahc and then impale him with its horns. Although the barbarian manages to stay put, the tail and horns still hurt (Selrahc takes an already halved 32 bludgeoning and piercing damage).
Refocusing on the fallen Yessaris, Lysanderoth tries to split him apart with his claws before chomping on the would-be meal (Yessaris takes 112 slashing and piercing damage). He raises Yessaris from the ground in his huge maw, grappling and restraining him. The monster then moves westbound, getting closer to other potential targets.
-> The following characters are now within 5 feet of the Tarrasque: DragoNox, Selrahc, Yessaris, and Attorney.
-> Trapped in its mouth, Yessaris is moved along with the Tarrasque.
OoC: First things first, spending one Ki point to reroll that save (Diamond Soul): 25
Tupoc grits his teeth and overcomes his momentary misgivings before calming himself. As before, his body vanishes before he takes to the sky (Empty Body). As he does, he scans the battlefield and casts a quick ward over Yessaris in an attempt to shield the artificer. Tupoc ends his turns flying 20 feet above the behemoth.
Abe cannot help but stumble back under the pressure of the roar alone. Yet through force of will the cleric righted himself, and gripped his necklace. "Do not fret! The Morning Lord is with us!" He calls out over destruction, his voice seeming amplified by the Blessing bestowed upon a select few. Afterwards, he slapped his hands together, and then prouder with his arms raised high and palms facing outward.
"Praise the Sun! For even when not visible, it burns within us all! O' Morninglord! I, Abe, one of your humble suns and servant beseech you! Not for power, or to strike down the foe before us! For such boons have already been granted, and we give our thanks! No... I ask only for the chance for the sons facing this foe be restored to our full strength! Even if it can only come at our darkest hours!" He cries out in celestial; clear and focused even as the light of his holy symbol began to glow -- for a few moments -- with the intensity of a 1,000 suns!
Action: Abe Calls for Divine Intervention! (No roll required at 20th level).
Imagery:
Future Reaction: Yessaris Uses Soul of Artifice it he would be dropped to 0 HP, but not killed outright from damage to instead drop to only 1 HP.
If you’re reduced to 0 hit points but not killed out-right, you can use your reaction to end one of your artificer infusions, causing you to drop to 1 hit point instead of 0.
The artificer goes down the hatch (Yessaris takes 46 piercing damage)! Strong muscles continue to restrict the yuan-ti and, as he moves down the monster's digestive tract, he see nothing but darkness.
(@Hydra: I'm afraid Yessaris is no longer target-able for that Sanctuary spell. Do you want to target someone else?)
Flying straight upwards, Tupoc goes invisible and enhances his defenses. Seeing the need to share his defensive abilities, the monk also casts Sanctuary on Abe.
LEGENDARY ACTION
The Tarrasque swipes a claw at the Xorn-hybrid:
-> Claw vs. Selrahc: Attack: 21 Damage: 30 slashing.
The barbarian is hit by the Tarrasque's sharp claws again (Selrahc takes 15 slashing damage, already halved).
The aasimar calls on Lathander twice in quick succession. First, the God of Renewal sends a Blessing to his faithful follower and a couple of his companions. There is a pause before the second request is considered. Abe's holy symbol glows brightly in the absence of a real sun in the sea of floating spectral fog that passes for the sky in Lysanderoth's own pocket dimension.
Everyone feels their heart burning for a good five seconds. The pain is intense, but once it passes, you all feel as refreshed as you could be. You have never felt so strong and ready to do battle (OOC: first time at full power and at 20th level!)
-> Everyone gains the benefits of a full long rest, no caveats.
03. Abe - concentrating on and benefiting from Bless (counter: 9), benefiting from Sanctuary (counter: 9);
SHOWDOWN!:
NOTES: I removed Yessaris' token as he is inside the Tarrasque's belly. I also added an outline to the round tokens so you can tell which squares each one is occupying. If the outline passes through a square, it occupies that square.
Nox raises her head and open her mouth, a strong icy breath is exhaled at the Tarrasque. Con DC 22: 87 cold damage on fail, halfed Unable to parse dice roll. on succes. Parts of the tarrasque body getting covered by ice.
(The breath orientated diagonally south-east so it shouldn't be able hit the party).
Upon being refreshed Selrahc will look to whatever sky there is and smirk and mutter, "Whatever gods are watching this fight. Enjoy it."
He will use his bonus action to activate his Animated Shield and will use his action as well as his hasted action to get 3 attacks in on Lysanderoth. GWM & Reckless
-> Feeblemind 2.0 vs. Lysanderoth: Attack: 21 Damage: 45
-> Feeblemind 2.0 vs. Lysanderoth: Attack: 18 Damage: 39
-> Feeblemind 2.0 vs. Lysanderoth: Attack: 23 Damage: 38
(@Palfatreos: Shouldn't the damage from the breath weapon be 16d8? I think you rolled an extra die in there. I'll consider the extra die to be the last one rolled.)
DragoNox unleashes her icy breath on the Tarrasque:
-> Tarrasque's CON saving throw {DC 22}: 15
Edit: I forgot to roll with advantage. Here's a second roll: 12 - nothing changes. (Never mind, it wasn't supposed to have advantage. Sorru for the confusion).
The monster's carapace does not protect it from the icy crystals (Tarrasque takes 64 cold damage). While the the crystals form, Selrahc activates his floating shield and prepares to strike. However, the barbarian finds the monster carapace to be harder than he initially judged based on the easiness with which the ice formed.
(Over a friend's at the moment, so less flavor this time around.)
At first thinking the burn within to be some other torment of Lysanderoth, Yessaris gritted his teeth and girded himself. Rejuvenated instead, even if some other pain should come, a far more determined and now rejuvenated(mostly) Yuan-Ti forced a command out of his lungs, causing runes to light up his armor, and a strange mist to start seeping out from ports about it.
Unable to see, hear, or even smell its master, Attorney defaults to its defensive posture.
Trapped inside the slimy, fetid insides of the Tarrasque, Yessaris feels the first few drops of digestive acid making their way through his clothes. His mind racing, the artificer begins to think about his alternatives (investigation):
He could magically become more slippery himself, but that is unlikely to improve his chances of climbing out.
A beast is a beast, and everyone that has a stomach has had a bad case of indigestion before.
After being chilled, Lysanderoth sets his eyes on the white dragon right in front of him:
-> Tail vs. DragoNox: Attack: 34 Damage: 20 bludgeoning.
-> DragoNox's concentration check {DC 10}: 25 - still a dragon
-> DragoNox's STR saving throw {DC 20}: 27 - does not fall to the ground.
-> Horns vs. DragoNox: Attack: 27 Damage: 30 piercing.
-> DragoNox's concentration check {DC 15}: 31 - still a dragon
-> Claw vs. DragoNox: Attack: 37 Damage: 31 slashing (please ignore the second roll; I mistakenly added advantage here).
-> DragoNox's concentration check {DC 15}: 32 - still a dragon
-> Claw vs. DragoNox: Attack: 32 Damage: 19 slashing.
-> DragoNox's concentration check {DC 10}: 27 - still a dragon
The monster's wrath sees no bounds. Even in dragon form, the wizard of the party takes a bit of a beating (DragoNox takes 100 bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage). The Tarrasque then turns to a smaller morsel and tries to bite it:
-> Bite vs. Selrahc: (advantage from Reckless Attack): Attack: 32 Damage: 35 piercing.
The giant fangs of this creature close on the Xorn-hybrid with a crunch (Selrach takes 17 piercing damage, already halved). Within its maw, Selrahc is now grappled and restrained.
The Tarrasque then advances west, in a way that both Boomshakala and Abe are now within 5 feet of the monster (in addition to DragoNox and Selrahc). Mostly inert, Attorney is now under the Tarrasque.
Abe cannot help but take a moment to bask in Lathander's Light. Drawn inevitably back to the fight at hand as the beast nears even further, he clasps his holy symbol and espouses another litany involving the covenant of 'Sun Bros' and their righteous pursuit to bravely walk even into the deepest shadows to hold back the tide of evil lurking within it. By its end, Abe's skin is left softly glowing with a golden light.
Future Reaction(Attorney): Defensive Pounce, inflicting disadvantage on the 1st Attack on an Abe, and inflicting 1d4+4 points of force damage on attacker.
Deflect Attack. The defender imposes disadvantage on the attack roll of one creature it can see that is within 5 feet of it, provided the attack roll is against a creature other than the defender.
Whenever your steel defender uses its Deflect Attack, the attacker takes force damage equal to 1d4 + your Intelligence modifier.

BOOMSHAKALA
The dragonborn points his staff at the Tarrasque and attempt to stop it on its tracks:
-> Tarrasque WIS saving throw vs. Hold Monster {DC 19}: 12
Boomshakala's spell has no effect. The sorcerer shows some frustration by spreading his wings.
LEGENDARY ACTION
Time for another snack:
-> Swallow vs. Selrahc: (restrained): Attack: 27 Damage: 40 piercing.
Selrahc is chewed up and swallowed (Selrahc takes 15 piercing damage, already halved). While sliding down, the Xorn-hybrid realizes he is depending entirely on his tremorsense in this complete darkness.
Tupoc swoops in for a series of quick attacks but notices mid-flight that Lysanderoth is looking at him as if the flying monk was not invisible. Whatever advantage the Couatl-hybrid was counting on is nullified by the creature's own senses.
(@Hydra: I'm sticking with first rolls, for the following totals: 19, 19, and 23).
All three attacks land, yet none cause any rumble past the monster's thick carapace. Frustrated, Tupoc flies back up.
ABE
The aasimar cleric builds up his defenses further with a casting of Death Ward
LEGENDARY ACTION
Lysanderoth whips its tail around, aiming at Abe. At this moment, Attorney comes online and releases some energy (Tarrasque takes 8force damage):
-> Tail vs. Abe: Attack: 21 Damage: 27 bludgeoning.
-> Abe's STR saving throw {DC 20}: 8
The cleric feels the heavy impact of the monster's tail and cannot help but fall prone (Abe takes 23 bludgeoning damage).
TARRASQUE
The Tarrasque brings forth its pure wrath in the form of a guttural roar:
The monster then goes berserk:
-> Tail vs. Selrahc: Attack: 32 Damage: 24 bludgeoning (see edit below).
-> Selrahc' STR saving throw {DC 20}: 26
-> Horns vs. Selrahc: Attack: 30 Damage: 28 piercing (see edit below).
-> Claw vs. Yessaris (prone): Attack: 30 Damage: 21 slashing.
-> Claw vs. Yessaris (prone): Attack: 30 Damage: 19 slashing.
