Sundeth sees death approaching, and calls out. "Loviatar! Aid your humble servant, to continue the good works of torturing others for your amusement!"
Pascal's fireball looks like it is vacuumed to south wall. The wall is painted in divine and arcane symbols dedicated to Loviatar (which weren't noticed before now). The paint crumbles to ash as the fireball is extinguished.
(OOC: I probably should have done that with Pascal's previous fireball, but at that time, I though Sundeth's HP were going to last longer.)
There is fear in Sundeth's eyes, but he will fight to the last. But who should he target? 1,2:P 3:D 4,5:J 2
Sundeth will use his bonus action to cast Blinding Smite. He then attacks 3 times with his glaive. He starts with Jorin (hoping to blind him), and will switch to Pascal with his remaining attacks after the first hit on Jorin.
If Jorin is hit, he takes 17 radiant damage, and must make a CON save vs. DC 13 or be blinded
Attack: 17 Damage: 12
Attack: 23 Damage: 12
Attack: 10 Damage: 12
That first attack hit, but I forgot Jorin was reckless. Additional to-hit roll: 8 okay, so not a critical.
Jorin takes 12 glaive damage, reduced to 6 by rage. (And he needs to deal with the Blinding Smite). Pascal is also hit for 12 damage, but avoids the last glaive attack.

Drusk aims a Healing Word at Quillary. "Llira has told us, And be you blithe and bonny, Converting all your sounds of woe Into hey, nonny, nonny."
Quillary now has 8 HP.
Quillary is up next. (Prone, but it is her turn.) Then the wyvern goes, then Hildigrim, then the next round starts.

6 glaive +17 radiant for 23 total damage, correct?
CON Save: 24
Jorin takes the slash of the glaive on his arm, shielding his eyes from the blinding flash, and spits in Sundeth's face.
(Yes for the 23 damage total. And somehow I can imagine Jorin doing a John Cena "you can't see me" gesture after the blinding didn't work.)

Quillary awakens to the soothing sounds of Llira's song, and immediately stands up, her spores exploding into a cloud around her as she puts herself between Hildigrim and the enemy. She twirls her stick, and lightly taps it on the cat skull, sending a shiver of glowing embers along its length. She bares her teeth in a smile, "Not yet."
Move: Stand up! Action: Wild Shape into Symbiotic Entity for 28 temp hp and more stuff. Bonus Action: Cast Shillelagh on her stick. Reaction: Her halo of spores will attack any enemy that comes within 10 ft of her, for 6 necrotic damage, or nothing on a Con Save vs DC 15

ey/em/eirs, or they/them works, too (just not he). Role-playing since that keep on those borderlands. I love it so.
The wyvern fails to pay attention to the events below it (Hildi pulling Q out of the fire, and her revival). It focuses on Jorin, whose has hit its master with every strike.
Wyvern flies over to Jorin, makes a stinger attack, then tries to grapple him. If successful, it lift him to the south end of the ring and drop him on the ring of fire.
Stinger Attack: 27 Damage: 21 piercing damage (halved to 10 by rage resistance)
If stinger hits, another 28 poison damage, halved by a CON save vs. DC 15.
Grapple attempt for its claw attack: 6 Jorin contests it with either Athletics (w/adv due to Rage) or Acrobatics
If the wyvern rolls better, Jorin takes 5 fall damage, and 15 fire damage (halved by DEX save vs DC 14)
(If the grapple doesn't work, it hovers above Jorin in melee range. If the grapple works it is 20' up, out of melee range.)
(EDIT: Jorin cannot lose that grapple roll. But the stinger attack was a Critical, so 52 poison damage on CON save fail, or 26 for success.)
Hildigrim is up (after Jorin rolls whatever dice rolls are needed). After Hildi goes, to the top of the next round with Pascal, then Jorin.

Jorin bats the claw away but in doing so, leaves an opening for the stinger with plunges deep into his chest. Jorin howls in pain, falling the ground unconscious!
Hildigrim's arrow fails to penetrate Sundeth's plate armor.
Jorin slumps down, mouth foaming (like Frodo during the Shelob attack), and passes out.
(OOC: I guess the wyvern would technically win the grapple after Jorin passed out, and drop him on the fire ring, but since I forgot to give Drusk a mace attack, I'll let things proceed as they are.)
Pascal is up. (Then Sundeth, who is barely on his feet.)

Sundeth is starting to feel he has a chance, seeing his pet fell 2 or his 5 foes. Sundeth will cast Blinding Smite, and swing at Drusk. After a hit, any remaining swings are directed at Pascal.
Attack: 23 Damage: 9
smite radiant damage: 13
Sundeth tries to grapple Pascal. (An 8' half-ogre can reach further up the stairs than expected.)
S Athletics: 8
P Acrobatics: 15
Lifting Pascal overhead, he bellows, "Roast lizard for dinner!" He throws Pascal towards the ring of fire. (Pascal is going to take 1 fall damage, but the contested push roll is to see if he lands on the fire ring or not.)
S Athletics: 11
P Acrobatics: 17
(Pascal lands on the fire ring. Pascal can choose to use the average value of 22 fire damage or you can roll 5d8. You should then roll your DEX save against your own DC, then a Concentration save to maintain the Wall of Fire.)

He blindly works his way over to where Jorin is fallen. That means Drusk has to cross the ring to get to him. DEX save: 16 Drusk takes 22 fire damage.
He then casts a 2nd level Cure Wounds on Jorin, yells "get up we need you to turn the tide", and takes several steps backwards to get out of the fire. Jorin is healed: 20 and Drusk gets 4 hp.
Quillary is up (has Hildi inspiration vs the wyvern), then the wyvern (15' up, in that area between Sundeth & the table), then Hidigrim. (Sundeth is still alive. The status of the ring of fire depends on Pascal's concentration. Pascal is next to Sundeth, on the ring of fire. Drusk is blinded. Jorin is prone with hp, on the ground outside the fire ring.)
