"Is that so? A shame then that we cannot reach the source of this miracle?"Abe said, sharing a look with Nox(if around for it). "Allow me then to turn it up notch."He adds as his eyes burst into pools of bright, divine light. Whereupon turning them to a space just above Lot, a miniature sun forms from nothing. "Taste the power of the sun."Is intoned as the rays of light beneath the sun seem to gather in one, all near blinding beam of soul scorching death that fades after a few seconds.
In the wake of unleashing such power, he then flies off and positions himself in almost protective positioning to shield Yessaris.
Action: Casts at (6th level)Judgement!(Dex 18) at points: {MD-5/6,MC-5/6} ,inflicting 15 fire and 17 radiant damage(upped), save for half.
Movement(Fly):To {MJ-11,MI-12}, hovering 5ft off the ground.
(@Lerus: I've lost people's positions again, though I assume they only got within whatever's the most immediate to their goal. That said, with a 10ft radius spell, my goal was to hit a spot that only encompassed Lot. If this is not possible without hitting at least one ally, assume that only Tupoc was the "sacrifice" for this spell)

BOOMSHAKALA
(@Grx: I think Boom found his new favorite spell.)
Recognizing the trick, Boomshakalamanipulates the Weave to force Lot's strange magic out of his head. Knowing that his enclosure has done little to stop the central crystal's rays, the sorcerer ceases focusing on that spell.
The cut does not hurt much (Nox takes 13 magical slashing damage). Whatever extra effect Lysanderoth was counting on, Nox is able to suffocate it with her (bearded?) ooze.

ABE
(@Ori: My fault for not being more specific about map positions. You can indeed angle it just right so that the spell hits only Lysanderoth).
Abe boasts a bit in his new form and makes use of his enhanced spellcasting abilities. A column of light and fire descends on Lot:
-> Lysanderoth's DEX saving throw {DC 18}: 15
-> Lysanderoth uses Legendary Resistance to force a success.
The column hits and Lot barely moves. As the flames clear, Abe sees that his foe is a lot less burned that he was hoping (Lysanderoth takes 10 radiant damage). Planning his next action, Abe moves to provide Yessaris some protection.
NOTES: Lysanderoth, Boomshakala, Abe (Sphinx), and Tupoc are all flying.
(Nox and Yeassaris go next. Yessaris should roll an end-of-turn DEX saving throw {DC 26} against being restrained. Note that his advantage from the Magic Resistance feature is nullified by the condition itself).
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Seeing no means of escape and knowing the peril he is in, Yessaris calls out the command to cause his amulet to vent the restorative, pain numbing vapors once more. "This is most annoying. If I can just get to that book..."He states with a grimace, and renewed his attempt once more to slip from his bindings..
Action: Produce the effect of (2nd level)Cure Wounds, restoring 13 HP to self.
End Turn: Escape Vs Binding Beam(Dex 26): 18.

The wizard tries to bounce her defenses through means of illusion. Looking at Lysanderoth however, Nox sees his eyes glow with a new shine: "That won't work any more, ooze."
(@Palfatreos: What is happening here is that the last line of the mirror image spell description doesn't show up when you hover over the link so I failed to account for the spell interaction with all those specials senses... I am accounting for it now since it is coming up again. Sorry about that).
The artificer prepares for the worst but magically catching his breath (Yessaris heals for 12 HP). He continues to try to move towards the book but his body is simply not obeying his mental commands. Until it does.

LYSANDEROTH
Lot has a wide grin on his face as he brings down his scythe on Selrahc's head:
-> Curtain-Call Scythe vs. Selrahc: Attack: 35 Damage: 64 magical slashing and fire.
The slash misses the hybrid's cranium but is deadly all the same (Selrahc takes 15 magical slashing and fire damage, already accounting for damage reduction from Rage).
-> Relentless Rage kicks in with a CON saving throw {DC 10}: 24 - Selrach drops to 1 HP instead.
Though the barbarian is still alive, his heart beat did stop for a fraction of a second. That time was all that was needed for a tiny but visible portion of his soul to leave his body and feed Lysanderoth. As the bright orange sliver of Selrach's soul hits Lot, he revels in the extra energy he just gained as if he was enjoying soem sort of Cruel Entertainment. Still gloating on his "victory," the second swipe of his weapon is aimed at Nox. It is only after attacking the wizard that the flying man notices Selrahc is still standing.

Start of turn wisdom save: 19

Tupoc doesn't quite see what the struggle is about anymore, but he can clear still tell that there is a struggle. Unable to help in any tangible way, he does his best to aid the others, casting his blessing over Nox, Selrach, and Yessaris.
Tupoc does not find himself in need of bolstering his mental acuity in order to resist Lysanderoth this time. Happily surprised, the monk takes a few seconds to Bless himself and a couple of companions.
-> Bless is now active on Tupoc, Selrahc, and Yessaris.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
SELRAHC
-> Adding Bless to Selrahc's beginning-of-turn save: 2
The barbarian grins a bit as to say "my turn" and then starts to slash Lysanderoth. The first cut is specially deep (Lysanderoth takes 36 magical slashing damage). Before the second slash can come through, Lysanderoth yells something in Deep Speech.
-> Selrahc's CHA saving throw vs. Hellish Rebuke {DC 25}: 6 damage: 18 fire.
-> Relentless Rage kicks in with a CON saving throw {DC 15}: 17 + 1 - Selrach drops to 1 HP instead.
Selrahc resists Lysanderoth's efforts once more, but not before another sliver of his bright orange soul escapes his body and feeds his foe. Regardless, the Xorn-hybrid finishes his three last attacks (including Retaliation). Only two of those hit (Lysanderoth takes another 43 magical slashing damage).

LAIR ACTION
DM's Screen:
Rays: 34
Targets: 35
DC: 2022
The inside of the crystal in the center of the room begins to swirls again. Two of the previous color come to the forefront once more, the moss green and the dark metallic silvery shades.
The moss green ray shoots at Nox:
-> Nox's STR saving throw {DC 24}: 22
The ray hits and restrains the wizards movements on top of forcing her into the air so that she is leveled with Lysanderoth (10 feet above the level of the platform she was standing on at {MG-5}).
The metallic silver ray shoots at the metallic golden dragonborn:
-> Boomshakala's WIS saving throw {DC 19}: 12 - Inspiration used to succeed on this save instead (reference).
Boomshakala falls to Lysanderoth's charms once again, this time through the power of the crystal.
(Boomshakala and Abe are up next. Boomshakala is charmed again).
"I hope you have a plan, Yessaris. We need all hands on deck."Abe states solemnly, but waits not for a word before blasting his way further into the air and around the barrier and right beneath Nox. "Brace yourself, Madam Nox." Once again his eyes glow gold from divine power. But rather than focusing it inward or in conjuring a sun, the feathers of a wing brush against Nox, causing her translucent form to gain a more golden hue.
Hopefully having freed her, he's quick to at least try to catch her on his back, and retreat as far back from Lot as possible.
Movement(Fly): To {MH-4,MG-5}, directly beneath Nox.
The sorcerer has been biding for time for a while. Once the sees Selrahc's slashes landing, Boomshakala prepares one of his nastiest spells. For the first time since becoming a dragonborn, the spell takes hold, and what a time for a debut!
Abe sees an opportunity to take Nox away from danger and flies just below her. Knowing that his wing trick is effective against the moss green ray, the transformed cleric whips it out once more and releases the wizard from her restraint.
"Is that so? A shame then that we cannot reach the source of this miracle?" Abe said, sharing a look with Nox(if around for it). "Allow me then to turn it up notch."

Recognizing the trick, Boomshakala manipulates the Weave to force Lot's strange magic out of his head. Knowing that his enclosure has done little to stop the central crystal's rays, the sorcerer ceases focusing on that spell.
-> Boomshakala is no longer charmed.
-> Wall of Force drops from the central crystal.
LEGENDARY ACTION
Holding his scythe with only one of his hands, Lysanderoth lets his free arm extend into a claw and explode in Nox's direction.
-> Touch of Pain vs. Nox: Attack: 26 Damage: 10 magical slashing.
-> Nox's CON saving throw {DC 25}: 17
-> Nox concentration check {DC 10}: 29
-> Adding advantage to that first CON save due to Belt of Dwarvenkind: 25
The cut does not hurt much (Nox takes 13 magical slashing damage). Whatever extra effect Lysanderoth was counting on, Nox is able to suffocate it with her (bearded?) ooze.

YESSARIS
(@Ori: Was that Yessaris' last spell slot?)

-> Mirror Image does not apply.
-> Curtain-Call Scythe vs. Nox: Attack: 35 Damage: 79 magical slashing and fire.
The wizard was going to be cut and burned a bit more but proceeds to block the attack with a Shield (reference).
(Nox takes 40 magical slashing and fire damage). (@Palfatreos: I'll let you roll the concentration check.)-> Nox is affected by her Aversion to Fire feature.(Tupoc and Selrahc go next.
