Kaltent stabs at the human still standing in front of him then backs away 5 feet.

Booming Blade: Attack: 10 Damage: 8 + 3 thunder + 8 (sneak attack).  Plus 9 thunder damage if he survives and moves before my next turn.

Zinn takes aim at the human crossbowmen and waves his hands, ending with both palms facing outward as two bolts of fire fly to their targets.

Fire Bolt Attack: 8 Damage: 12

Fire Bolt Attack: 7 Damage: 15 (Twinned spell)

He coughs up some blood after expending the energy for the spell, and leans up against the wall for support. He is ready to cast Shield if anything strikes him.

Kaltent's swing misses but Zinn lands both of his fire bolts on the crossbowmen. They both scream and fall to the ground in blackened heaps.

(Shift is up!)

Shift crumples under a barrage of hits, reverting back to his humanoid form again.

With a feral look in his eye, Shift lunges up and swipes his hand out at the remaining target standing to his south.

His hand transforms as it travels, claws forming and a clear liquid dripping from under the nails.

Crit fumble roll: 100

In his rage and haste, Shift trips over one of the fallen enemy and falls prone, taking 3 points of damage as he slams his chin into the stone floor.

Bronx's tiny demons continue to plague many of their opponents:

• N: 9 or suffer 6 (half on a success)
• B4: 16 or suffer 11 (half on a success)
• B5: 4 or suffer 12 (half on a success)
• T3: 13 or suffer 8 (half on a success)

Thug 3 and Bugbear 5 both fall lifelessly to the floor before they can pile onto the prone monk.

The leader again swings at Bronx in a rage.

Greataxe Attack: 18 Damage: 4

Thug 2 attacks Kaltent, swinging twice:

Mace Attack: 7 Damage: 8

Mace Attack: 24 Damage: 10 (Kaltent falls unconscious, I believe?)

And one bugbear attacks Bronx.

Morningstar Attack: 15 Damage: 11

 (Everyone may go in any order.)

 (Unless I'm missing something, I only see 23 damage taken so far, with 7 healing in between, so only down 16 hp.  Was I low hp to start and my character sheet just had my hp get screwed up?)

Edit: Just remembered this is after our short rest, where I used hit dice and ended at full hp

That's why I checked. My accounting got messed up for this fight.

Kaltent growls at the thug that just hit him, "Hey, that hurt!"  Then he stabs at the thug with his rapier.

Booming Blade: Attack: 15 Damage: 8 + 3 thunder + 8 (sneak attack).  Plus 9 thunder damage if he survives and moves before my next turn.

If it hits (and the thug survives), he backs away and taunts the man.  "See, I can make it hurt too!"

Kaltent's runs his rapier through the man's ribs but he doesn't fall.

Bronx smashes his warhammer at the woman who has been furiously and futilely attacking him.

Warhammer Attack: 16 Damage: 9

(Zinn and Shift are up.)

Shift rises, the feral look still in his eye's and a little trickle of blood flows from his nose.

"HHGGGRRAAA!!!"

Shift lunges at the women, swiping at her with his clawed hands.

Zinn sees the tide of the battle starting to turn, and he focus a flurry of rays onto the remaining bugbear. Still keeping an eye on the foe next to him and ready with shield should he land a strike.

Scorching Ray Attack: 21 Damage: 12

Scorching Ray Attack: 7 Damage: 9

Scorching Ray Attack: 15 Damage: 14

DM shield:

Distracted by his own spell-casting as he nearly fumbles the spell, Zinn drops his attention on any other attackers (enemies have advantage on their first attack next round.) Additionally, all three of his scorching rays miss, striking only stone.

Bronx's tiny demons continue to plague two of the remaining opponents:

• N: 8 or suffer 5 (half on a success)
• B4: 15 or suffer 9 (half on a success)

 This is enough to drop both of them. Only a single human remains and he attacks the closest foe, Zinn, twice with his mace.

Mace Attack: 14 Damage: 6

Mace Attack: 24 Damage: 7

(Everyone may go in any order.)

Bronx runs over and swings his warhammer at the remaining thug.

Warhammer Attack: 13 Damage: 8

(That is not enough to put the last human down! Only the one human remains with 2 hp.)

Kaltent moves in to try to finish off the remaining human.

Booming Blade: Attack: 22 Damage: 6 + 5 thunder + 5 (sneak attack).  Plus 3 thunder damage if he moves before my next turn.

The human thug falls dead to the ground.

Combat has ended.

Shift is still growling as the last hostile goes down, breathing heavily.

Shift looks around at all the dead bodies and starts to calm back down.

"What the hell! Why would they be working alongside an undead beholder!?"

"Mm," Krennic says as he stands, observing with his hands clasped behind his back. "That is curious. Anyways, competent job. You may want to take care of your kobold friend."

The monk points to Zinn laying on the floor, unconscious.

"What?!"

Shift spins and bolts over to Zinn's small form.

Kneeling down, Shift places a hand on Zinn. The hand starts to "blurr" spreading out and merging with Zinn's scaly skin, changing to match.

After a few second, the spreading skin has covered many of Zinn's wounds. Shift starts to pulls his arm away slowly, his hand forming out of the connection and then separating from Zinn's body.

The new replacement kobold flesh is left behind.

"Come on Zinn, you still have work left to do."

Zinn gasps for air as he surges back to consciousness. He coughs up some blood and shakily makes his way to his feet. "My thanks." He says quietly. 

After composing himself a bit he surveys the carnage before them. The burnt and shredded carcasses of many fallen foes covered the area. 

Zinn will slowly inspect the bodies, using his mage hand to rifle through their belongings without touching the gruesome cadavers with his own hands. He is specifically looking for any sign they were affiliated with the Xanathar Guild. 

Shift smiles as Zinn recovers and gets right back into action.

Seeing Zinn start to gingerly rifle through the dead, Shift gives an evil grin.

"Yeah, time to get some pay for all this hard work."

Shift isn't hesitant to get himself dirty and just starts rummaging through the dead looking for valuables.
