Thank you for keeping me straight, Ebokk, about your reaction. And Erric is correct about disadvantage and advantage (flanking) canceling each other. As Jambiya technically has the highest initiative, I'm going to wait until they post.
As the armor moves past Ebokk and Sagitta, the winged snake strikes out, doing a minimal amount of damage with its fangs, and like the hammers, the poison just runs down the outside.
Seeing she has its attention, Jambiya shouts at the armor, "Hey, dull and ugly, come and get me!" She dances away, but stays within range of the armor, trying to lure it away from her hurting friends, and lets another blast go at it.

OOC: Correction to my earlier note: Erric has the highest initiative. Jambiya is second.
Erric panics when the suit of armor gets to him so quickly. "I didn't think it would keep chasing us!" He attacks with both his rapier and dagger again. The rapier, once again, penetrates the metal hide of the armor, doing some damage. Unfortunately, the armor's shield blocks his dagger.
Seeing she has its attention, Jambiya shouts at the armor, "Hey, dull and ugly, come and get me!" She dances 20 feet away and lets another blast go at it. The green-white energy makes a direct hit, but as far as she can tell, it does no damage.
Seeing the armor run past Ebokk surprises him. "What?! Where are you going? Stop!" The dwarf starts running towards the armor as he sees his friends are in trouble. "You're not done fighting me yet!" he shouts in anger as he leaps as best he can as a dwarf — raising his warhammer in the air and attempting to bring it down on the armor as the gravity pulls him down to the ground again. With the anger of seeing his friends get targeted, Ebokk bites away the pain in his arm for a moment. "Stay away from them!" The armor leans to the side to dodge Ebokk's attack, and the dwarf takes advantage of its shifted center of gravity and swings his shield in a horizontal swipe to try and smack down the armor. (Athletics vs DC 15: 9) A bit comically, the very formidable suit of magical armor pinwheels its arms for a second before falling to the floor. Ebokk then raises his shield in defense of Maldorn. (Flanking with Erric does cancel Ebokk's disadvantage, so I'm looking at the first roll, which is a total of 13, which misses.)
Suddenly facing the the armor, Maldorn does not have a chance to celebrate turning the hammer to dust. He drops his bow and draws a dagger, making sure to mark the enemy first.
Advantage roll for Maldorn as the armor is now prone: 20 — critical! Extra rolls for critical damage: 11+8
Grabbing his dagger with both hands, Maldorn slams it down into the creature's shoulder. The blade plunges into the metal, creating a large open gash. As the old hunter retracts the blade, a red mist begins to escape through the wound.
The armor, still horizontal, rises off the ground, rights itself, then lowers back onto its feet. It swings its blade at the old man twice. (Attack at disadvantage thanks to Ebokk: 21 Damage: 9; Attack: 15 Damage: 11) The armor's first swing goes wide, but the second hits its mark.
After knocking the creature to the ground and a successfully blocking one attack against Maldorn Ebokk's vigor returns a bit. We can do this! Its slowing down and ready to crumble now!
He shouts to inspire himself and others before making another swing towards the armor with his warhammer. Afterwards Ebokk brings his warhammer back to himself knowing he cant keep this up forever and turns his body again to use his shield in Maldorns defense if needed.
Movement: None Action: Warhammer vs the armor: regular hit Attack: 15 Damage: 8 , in case the Fearie Fire from Jambiya gives advantage another tohit: 22 Possible reaction: Protection for Maldorn

Erric keeps poking with rapier and dagger, growing more desperate. He lunges with his rapier, but the point skitters off the side as the armor turns slight. He then swipes with his dagger, and the blade leaves behind another small scrape.
Frustrated again, Jambiya mutters and a veil of green light descends on the armor ... and her three friends surrounding it. (Armor DEX save: 3; Ebokk DEX save: 20; Erric DEX save: 13; Maldorn DEX save: 26) The armor and Ebokk begin to glow with a magical green light, making them both easier to see.

OOC: You get advantage from flanking and disadvantage from your injury. You can't get advantage again from faerie fire, so it's just a straight roll, which you did originally.
Ebokk's warhammer glances off of the armor's shield.
After thanking Ebokk for the assist, Maldorn draws a second dagger and tries to puncture the armor some more. He screams as he thrusts. (It's too bad you lost hunter's mark.) Both blades cut into the magical armor, adding to its now numerous punctures.
The armor once again swings its sword at Maldorn, but then turns and swipes at the glowing form of Ebokk as well. (Attack at Maldorn at disadvantage: 15 Damage: 11 slashing; Attack at Ebokk with advantage: 24 Damage: 7 slashing) The sound of the armor's sword clanging against Ebokk's shield echoes off the walls as Maldorn cringes and is then relieved when he realizes he's been protected. However, the old man's look changes into a cringe again as the dwarf isn't quick enough to protect himself from being slashed.

Erric feels like he's in reruns, flummoxed by the anti-magic suit of armor that keeps hurting the party. So he keeps poking with rapier and dagger, growing more desperate.
Not feeling particularly well suited for this battle, Maldorn continues to simply attack. Then, remembering that some of his companions might have enchanted blades with them, he screams: "Enchanted blades! They might fare better. They are built to fight horrendous creatures like this one, right? You have one, right Jambiya? And you Erric? Didn't you collect an enchanted shortsword at one point? I remember almost laying a claim on such a blade, but I believe you kept it in the end."

Jambiya growls and bares her pointy teeth, snatches Redmane's Dagger off her belt and charges into the fight, coming down to the ground. "Fight me you hunk of junk!"she shouts at it while stabbing.
Move: to H2, and down to the ground to better reach the armor. Action: Attack with dagger, and advantage from Faerie Fire! 16 to hit, for 8 (magical?) piercing damage.
Notes: FF is concentration, so remind me to roll a concentration check (or go ahead and do it yourself, Con Save is +0) if she gets hit.

Taking another hit Ebokk looks a bit surprised at his hands. What the.. im glowing now.
Realizing he cant keep on taking hits he has to try to take the armor down grunting a moment as he moves his arm back again. Taking another swing towards the armor Arrghh!
Ebokk will make sure he tries to protect himself and Maldorn again staying close to him.
Movement: None Action: Warhammer vs armor Attack: 15 Damage: 4 Oh nice for crit he does 7 additional dmg for having a vicious weapon for total of 13. Possible Reaction: Protection for Maldorn

Erric feels like he's in reruns, flummoxed by the anti-magic suit of armor that keeps hurting the party. So he keeps poking with rapier and dagger, growing more desperate. (Reroll for the 1 rolled in Erric's first attack: 18) The halfling lunges and slashes with his blades, but despite the armor's glowing form, the bard just can't get a hit.
Maldorn screams: "Enchanted blades! They might fare better. They are built to fight horrendous creatures like this one, right? You have one, right Jambiya? And you Erric?

Jambiya growls and bares her pointy teeth, snatches Redmane's Dagger off her belt and charges into the fight, coming down to the ground. "Fight me you hunk of junk!" she shouts at it while stabbing. She plunges the dagger into the suit of armor, and the red mist rises up around her hand.
Taking another hit, Ebokk looks a bit surprised at his hands. "What the ... I'm glowing now." Realizing he can't keep on taking hits, he has to try to take the armor down. Grunting a moment, he moves his arm back again to take another swing at the armor. "Arrghh!" He aims for the armor's helmet, and is gratified to see it rocket backward down the hallway back the way they came. It clangs off the wall, clangs off the floor, clangs off the other wall, and finally comes to rest. The remaining suit of armor collapses, and the red fog begins to roll out of the neck hole. As they watch, the mist lessens and lessens and finally disappears. All is quiet.
Jambiya sheathes her dagger and crouches next to Maldorn. "Here, everyone gather up the berries I handed out earlier. Maldorn, Ebokk, you should both have them... or, you still have that fountain water, right?" She looks down the hallway in the direction the party was heading, and growls. "I am legitimately starting to get angry at these brothers. Puzzles are all well and good, but killing my friends? We're going to have words."
Note: I don't think anyone used the Goodberries, so we have 10 hp worth of healing, one berry at a time!

Here's Sagitta's opportunity attack:
Reaction: Sagitta's Bite vs. Armor: Attack: 20 Damage: 10 (of which 7 is poison damage and 3 is piecing damage.)
(Ebokk’s attack is flanking the armor right? With Erric? So no disadvantage?)

Wait what? I forgot about the shortsword - didn’t Anafrey take it? Gah!!!
(Said in and out of character.)
Maldorn slides down the wall until he is sitting on the ground. He breathes heavily and calls Sagitta to join him in catching their breath.
OOC: Oh, you may be right. Maybe Anafrey took the magical shortsword.
(If we've had it, Erric would smack himself in the forehead at forgetting it. It sounds like something he would do.)
Erric also falls to the ground, hurting. "Maldorn, how does that fountain water you gathered work again?"
Jambiya sheathes her dagger and crouches next to Maldorn. "Here, everyone gather up the berries I handed out earlier. Maldorn, Ebokk, you should both have them... or, you still have that fountain water, right?" She looks down the hallway in the direction the party was heading, and growls.
