Yessaris struggles for a moment. Not with magical bonds or some entity the group had yet faced, but instead between instincts to research and "proactive" problem solving. In the end, he mutters a curse over whatever god or goddess felt responsible at the time. Afterwards, the Yuan-ti is running -- practically taking two steps at a time in his hurry -- and upon seeing Lot's state from the top, navigates his way around into striking distance with the man.
The artificer hesitates for a moment, trying to make a decision in his head. Choosing to leave the decrepit tome in its place, Yessarisruns back into the thick of battle.
Nox takes advantage of the time bought by Boomshakala's spell to re-boost her defenses with another casting of Blink. Then, she immediately fades.
The monk acts next, throwing two quick punches at Lot (Lysanderoth takes 10 magical bludgeoning damage). Tupoc tries to punch his foe once more, but he gets wise to the attempt and weaves out of the way. While dodging, Lot floats right in Selrahc's path. The barbarian does not let the opportunity go to waste (Lysanderoth takes 18 magical slashing damage), though Lot retaliates as soon as the first slice hits.
-> Selrahc's CHA saving throw vs. Hellish Rebuke {DC 25}: 10 damage: 25 fire.
-> Relentless Rage kicks in with a CON saving throw {DC 20}: 19 + 2 - Selrach drops to 1 HP instead.
As before, Selrahc remains upright, but another sliver of his bright orange soul escapes him. Three more slices (including Retaliation) find their way onto Lot after this (Lysanderoth takes another 52 magical slashing damage).

LAIR ACTION
DM's Screen:
Rays: 42
Targets: 42
DC: 2418
The inside of the crystal in the center of the room begins to swirls again, though only partially this time. A bright orange color overtakes the moss green, but the dark metallic silvery shade persists. Both rays shoot our at Boomshakala, the orange one hitting first.
-> Boomshakala's DEX saving throw {DC 26}: 9
-> Boomshakala's WIS saving throw {DC 25}: 21 or 23 (advantage from Aura of Purity).
As soon as the orange ray hits, the sorcerer can feel his movements slowing. That is perhaps for the best, as a second later the silver ray hits and the dragonborn feels charmed by Lysanderoth once more.
(Boomshakala and Abe are up next. Boomshakala is charmed again and may re-roll that DEX save at the end of his turn to see if the slow effect goes away).
"Now. Altogether. Bring an end to this madness once and for all."Abe intones as he himself flew forth to rake Lot in passing, then come around one last time to bury his claw deep into his back, dragging it on in his maneuvering into position to await Nox' return.

BOOMSHAKALA
-> Rolling a d20 as per the details in Slow's description: 9 - it takes two turns for Boomshakala to cast his spell.
Boomshakala begins to focus on a remedy spell for his mental struggle with Lysanderoth, but his speech and hand movements are too sluggish for him to finish the incantation promptly.
The transformed cleric calls on his companions to put an end to this fight once and for all. He flies closer to Lysanderoth and attacks twice before returning to the spot below which he judges Nox will reappear. Lot gains a few more scars (Lysanderoth takes 19 slashing damage).
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"For what little it may be worth, Lot. It is unfortunate that such grand ambitions must come to close this day." Yessaris flicked his rapier off to the side, then with a flourish of it, slipped into a guarded stance. For the moment. "But you had to have forseen its coming." With that, he lunged forth twice over, giving it his absolute all in the heat of the moment. No more half measures. No more hesitation.
The artificer goes on the offensive, foregoing his extra protection. He attacks first with his words and then with his blade. Before blocking the attacks efficiently, Lysanderoth responds: "The fight is no over yet, snakeman, and I... I have the Wishing Stone!"

Nox tries to not fall of Abe as she reappears and point her finger at Lysanderoth and a green ray comes toward Lysanderoth. Dex DC 19: 78 Force damage on a failure.

NOX
Yessaris performs a perfect catch and Nox lands safely on his back. Staying put for now, the sphinx supports the wizard as she launches a powerful destructive spell at Lot.
-> Lysanderoth's DEX saving throw {DC 19}: 21 - Nox uses her second portent powers to force this roll to become a 14 (reference).
-> Lysanderoth uses his second Legendary Resistance to re-force a success.
Lot avoids the ray, which destroys the bridge behind Boomshakala instead.
Lot uses his scythe on Selrahc again: "More soul!"
-> Curtain-Call Scythe vs. Selrahc: Attack: 19Damage: 30 magical slashing and fire.
-> Curtain-Call Scythe vs. Selrahc: Attack: 32 Damage: 44 magical slashing and fire.
-> Relentless Rage kicks in with a CON saving throw {DC 25}: 19 - Selrach drops unconscious, incapacitated, and prone.
The Xorn-hybrid is able to block Lysanderoth's first attack, but not the second. A big cut appears across his chest (Selrahc takes 30 magical slashing and fire damage). Tired from battle, not even the adrenaline pumping through his veins can keep Selrahc up this time. A bright stream of orange essence begins to pour out of the barbarian's body and into Lysanderoth like a river: "Yes, Yes!"
-> Rage drops from Selrahc.
(Tupoc and Selrahc go next. Selrahc needs to start his turn with a DEATH saving throw including Bless).
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Death Save: 2 + 4
(Selrahc is now conscious with 1 HP right? If so:)
He will stand up and grab where he was cut as he spits blood out of his mouth, "You cannot kill me that easily, Lot. Your arrogance will be your downfall."
He will then use his bonus action to enter a frenzied rage and will attack with his axe. (GWM and Reckless)
Nox tries to hold on Abe whe she was falling down. She step comes of Abe's back and bow to her *Thanks for freeing and catching me Abe*.
She'll then cast blink on herself and moves south to keep distance from lysanderoth.

YESSARIS & NOX
The artificer hesitates for a moment, trying to make a decision in his head. Choosing to leave the decrepit tome in its place, Yessaris runs back into the thick of battle.
Nox takes advantage of the time bought by Boomshakala's spell to re-boost her defenses with another casting of Blink. Then, she immediately fades.
-> Nox disappears.
-> Shield fades from Nox.
(Lysanderoth's turn is next).
LYSANDEROTH
Groggy, the MAster of the Trials is only capable of saying a couple of words: "Barely... hurt..."
-> Lysanderoth's CON saving throw {DC 19}: 18
Lot shakes his head and seems ready for another go.
-> Lysanderoth is no longer stunned or incapacitated.
(Tupoc and Selrahc go next. Only Selrahc needs to start his turn with a WIS saving throw {DC 25}).
Selrahc will attack Lot a couple more times. (GWM and Reckless)

-> Adding Bless dice to Tupoc's attacks: 1, 4, 4;

Tupoc tries to punch his foe once more, but he gets wise to the attempt and weaves out of the way. While dodging, Lot floats right in Selrahc's path.

Boom feels his mind clouding once more.
"No! Finish him fast I cannot fight him off my mind much longer." says Boom.
Boom will use 7th level spell slot to cast Dispel Magic on himself.

BOOMSHAKALA
-> Rolling a d20 as per the details in Slow's description: 9 - it takes two turns for Boomshakala to cast his spell.
Boomshakala begins to focus on a remedy spell for his mental struggle with Lysanderoth, but his speech and hand movements are too sluggish for him to finish the incantation promptly.
-> Boomshakala remains slowed and charmed and is in the process of casting Dispel Magic.
ABE
The transformed cleric calls on his companions to put an end to this fight once and for all. He flies closer to Lysanderoth and attacks twice before returning to the spot below which he judges Nox will reappear. Lot gains a few more scars (Lysanderoth takes 19 slashing damage).
