Tobin:
Tobin pokes his head up from the tangle of straps and orients himself quickly, having viewed the scene until now through his spirit guide’s senses. He shoots a pea-sized red bead at the newly-formed gap in green dragon’s scale, and it explodes upon impact into a huge fireball!
Tobin then burrows back into the multiple straps for cover, concentrating hard on the Flight spell for his allies.

The green dragon is set alight by Tobin's spell, the orange bead hitting exactly where he planned, to do maximum damage (dragon failed its save).
The blue dragon sees this; it is wounded, but far less than its green companion. "Dangerous vermin you carry, Old One. Shall we rid you of them?" Keeping pace with Otaaryliakkarnos, it rises up a little, to get a good angle where it can as many of you as possible, and unleashes a breath of lightning - a sizzling, crackling wall of electricity that strikes Tobin, Titus and Jalt.
(That's a DEX save, DC16, or take 47 points of lightning damage.)
Although the pile of straps on top of him absorb some of the shock, the dragon’s lightning is just too strong, and Tobin gets cooked a bit. He loses concentration on the Fly spell as his skin sizzles and his hair sticks out in all directions!

Jalt hears Bazavur and pivots accordingly to try and shield himself from the lightning Dex save: 12.. takes 47 points of damage. Jalt will then cast Cure Wounds on himself at lvl 3 to heal for 13 pts

Bazavur, you clamber up the strap and manage to secure yourself once again to the dragon; as you do so, your ability to fly is ripped away.
Jalt heals up.
The green dragon turns, and smiles cruelly: Such feeble little rats. Such a humiliation to carry them so. How can you live with it, Decrepid One?
It flies up, and makes claws twice at the great silver dragon, and once at Soar, but misses each time.
Otaaryliakkarnos maintains her trajectory but swivels, and speaks to the other dragons: Flee now, children. Return to whatever foolish master you have chosen to serve.
And she unleashes her magical breath, a torrent of shards of ice and snow, upon the green dragon. The dragon takes 38 points of cold damage and is looking very badly hurt and quite shocked.
In a quieter voice, Otaaryliakkarnos asks you all: "Shall we fight, or flee? Both options have their dangers."
(You can answer during your turn on the next round.)
Amazed that the dragon didn't hit her, Soar answers back, "I think we can hit them a couple more times to convince them to leave, and if they do not, yes, let's go!'
"Tobin, time to get clever." The last words the green dragon hears. The combined force of Soar's blast and Titus' bolt hit it at the same time, tearing apart flesh and splashing flesh - some burned, some bloody, onto the ground below. There also seems to be a noxious gas released from the creature's interior, but the winds around you dissipate it in seconds.
Tobin is up. You have help from Titus. The blue dragon is much less wounded than the green was, and hasn't had time to react to its partner's demise.

Tobin:
”I’m a librarian, not a battle tactician!” says Tobin. Still, he does his best…
Sending his Spirit Guide to sink into the blue dragon (up to 30’ move as a bonus action), Tobin shouts, “Begone loathsome creature or I will detonate the arcane maelstrom I have just implanted!”
(As a bonus action, you can cause the spectral mind to hover up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space that you or it can see. It can pass through creatures but not objects.)
Deception to make the blue dragon think that the Spirit Guide is still inside him and not hiding in an unoccupied adjacent space as required by the ability (with Titus’ help): 6
Readied action to cast Thunderball (Fireball with energy type switched out for thunder) if the blue dragon does anything other than fly away on its turn—the spell will originate from the Spirit Guide’s location adjacent to the blue dragon.

Tobin, you prepare your spell and maintain a firm watch upon the blue dragon. As its green companion falls to the ground far below, the blue roars in fury and dives... upwards, but in your general direction. Your Thunderball is a little brown-coloured mote, dark and almost unseen in the rain and overcast sky; it pops into existence next to the dragon and explodes, catching it with a massive boom that you all feel in the depths of your stomachs and can likely be heard for miles around. The dragon does not save, and takes the full damage, being knocked off course for a moment.
The thunder attack does not put it off completely though. It flies towards the current objects of its anger, namely Soar and Titus. It flies up and over, staying out of reach of Jalt, Bazavur and Tobin, and comes down to attack, with claw and fang.
Two claw attacks against Titus, one cutting deep (25 against AC, for 12 piercing damage), and the other missing (15 against AC).
One bite attack against Soar, (nat 20) - Soar, teeth close upon you and seem ready to bite you in two halves. You take 20 points of piercing damage and 5 points of lightning damage.
As it releases you, you hear the dragon's voice, low and furious: "You will pay for that. You will pay dearly". With the bite attack having reach, only Titus gets an Opportunity Attack as the dragon flies away, off to the south, seemingly intending to leave.
Titus feels the claws rend through his light leather armor, cutting deep into his flesh. As the blood flows freely he whips out his blade and plunges it into the swooping beast.
Opp Attack To hit 25, damage 7 (piercing from rapier)
More thunder damage - the dragon fails its save and once again a boom fills the air and the dragon suffers for it. Titus's rapier also hits, and the dragon isn't looking good at all.
Jalt recognizes the damage that the dragon has put it into bad shape.... he focuses as best he can and casts Guiding Bolt at 3rd lvl.....14 to hit at 15 damage

Answering the great dragon’s question, Tobin says, “We should eliminate the other one as well if we can. If the blue dragon escapes, it may harm others as well as plotting revenge against us.”

'We must finish it if we can!' Titus has been running the options in his mind, there's little downside at this point to finishing off the second dragon and significant benefit to taking such a powerful piece of the board.

Sensing something amiss, Bazavur sees the dragon move and calls out to try and warning Jalt of the impending dragon breath heading his way.

Otaaryliakkarnos
Titus and Soar are up.
Amazed that the dragon didn't hit her, Soar answers back, "I think we can hit them a couple more times to convince them to leave, and if they do not, yes, let's go!'
She casts eldritch blast again on green.
Attack: 22 Damage: 11 (7 plus 4 from hex
Attack: 13 Damage: 11
She also casts shield of faith on the silver again
(Sorry, meant from hexblade's curse, not from hex)
Titus throws another bolt of fire at the Green Dragon, chasing the shards of ice with magical fire. 'Tobin, time to get clever!'
Action: Firebolt 27 to hit and 16 damage
Bonus: Help to Tobin
"Tobin, time to get clever." The last words the green dragon hears.
