Edhelri is there, crouched behind the opposite wheel but looking calm. There's no-one else under the wagon. She, Leda and both perytons are within 15 feet of Nate.
(If you're thinking of something like Thunderwave, then Nate could move a little so that Edhelri is out of the blast zone. However, Leda and the peryton are next to each other. If he wants to move so that Leda is also beyond 15 feet he will provoke an Opportunity Attack as he moves away.)
(Nate was thinking of that... well, what's really going on is Nate is freaking out, becoming extremely claustrophobic being under the wagon with that Peryton nipping and clawing at him while he's already badly wounded. He feels like... exploding. He's not going to cast it now, but if this keeps up, he might not be able to help himself!)
Nate's going to try and focus on a specific body part of the Peryton, hopefully get a glance at it's neck area, and then cast Infestation creating a cloud of mites and fleas all over this bird-like furball's neck, trying to annoy it and get it to move back from the wagon a bit.... to give Nate some breathing room before he actually does something crazy.
(Sorry, did A or B land and try to attack Nate under the wagon? I think you said A landed and then later said B is on the ground?)
If one is still on the ground, Soar is going to try to flank it with Leda and attack normally with a smite. If they are back in the air she is going to ready an attack for the next swoop, casting ensnaring strike to keep it on the ground....
Jalt feigns excitement over seeing these creatures but in reality he's a bit nervous never having faced such creatures. To the peryton who has been injured the most, Jalt casts Toll The Dead for 8 (Wis 13 save)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Boar pivots around after getting Nate to safety and circles the landed bird, drawing her sword. She looks up to make sure Lasfelro's gotten under a wagon to safety, and either way, is trying to draw the attention of the creatures.
She casts ensnaring strike on it with her bonus action and raises her sword to strike.

Front group
Jalt cast upon Peryton 1, which took a nasty crossbow bolt to the wing. WIS save: 16
A ripple of pain goes through the whole body of the creature, and it starts to beat its wings very slowly indeed. (That damage roll should be 1d12, so 10 - I'll take the higher roll of 8 from before.)
Peryton 1 sinks to the ground, wounded and struggle but clearly furious; it lands between Eldkin and Jalt; the beak lashes out at the dwarf, then it spins and its talons attempt to rip Jalt apart:
Beak (on Eldkin): Attack: 7 Damage: 4 Talons (on Jalt): Attack: 25 Damage: 14
Eldkin takes a dig to the shoulder, but seems hardy and not troubled by it. Jalt deflects the sharp talons with his shield.
Peryton 2 swoops past Jalt, gaining flanking advantage as it makes its two attacks on the dragonborn:
Attack: 24 Damage: 5 Attack: 23 Damage: 8
But the dragonborn has skill and a large shield on his side; he spins at the perfect time, clattering his shield into the bird and pushing its attack away. It squawks with frustration.
Front Group - Round Three Elspeth Eldkin Albit (bleeding out, one success), Gethyn, Cove and Harriman Jalt Peryton 1 and 2
Elspeth is up. Peryton 1 is on the ground between Jalt and Eldkin; Elspeth won't be able to get flanking attack advantage. Peryton 2 is in the air, twenty feet up, ten feet away.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Rear Group
Peryton A's STR saving throw: 13
Peryton A is restrained. It thrashes wildly, panicking as the magical vines wrap around it.
Rear group: Round Four Sulesdeg and Bodoric Peryton A (restrained) and B Leda Nate and Soar
Sulesdeg and Bodoric, seeing the vines restraining Peryton A, take their chance and attack:
Attack: 12 Damage: 4 Attack: 13 Damage: 3
Both bolts hit; the bird is looking pretty injured, and tries desperately to escape its restraints. It takes 5 as its turn starts.
STR check to escape: 5
It fails to escape, but its partner swoops down and attempts to tear at the vines with its beak:
STR check: 13
It manages to do so; Peryton A is no longer restrained; however, both birds are now on the ground and near to you, screeching and flapping their wings aggressively at everyone nearby.
Leda nods to Soar, and uses the advantage to attack twice:
Attack: 9 Damage: 6 Attack: 24 Damage: 12
Peryton A is badly wounded, but no longer restrained. Peryton B is so far unharmed. Both are on the ground, near to each other and near to all of you.
Boar's longsword slices down; the peryton is distracted, watching Leda and waiting for her next strike. You see Leda's eyes widen and her mouth open in an exclamation of delight as you cut the peryton's head from its body, and the head falls and rolls a little along the road. Peryton A is dead.
Nate is up.
Peryton B remains, hovering twenty feet up in the air. Lasfelro appears to be under his own wagon. You are too far back to see what the cultists are doing, as they are near the front of the caravan.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Nate sees the Peryton's head fall on the ground from under the wagon, and assumes it must've been Soar's work. He was right.
Nate peeks out from under the wagon to get a view of the remaining Peryton in the air, and will cast Infestation trying to confuse the flying beast. Nate will still remain under the wagon, just peeking out at the bird creature.
CON 14 save, 5 damage if needed, and direction 2
Nate will also as a bonus action cast another L1 shot of healing word on himself. 8
Trusting Eldkin and the other guards to be able to deal with the grounded Peryton, Elspeth will cast Moonbeam (Con 13 for half at start of turn) on Peryton 2. She'll call back to Gethyn again to see if he could manage to use bandages or apply pressure to keep Albit from bleeding too much.
Elspeth, your moonbeam's light begins to glimmer and shine upon the peryton.
Eldkin runs to the grounded peryton, drops her crossbow, draws her mace and makes two attacks on it:
Attack: 9 Damage: 7 Attack: 6 Damage: 8
The first strike hits.
Albit's death save: 5. That's two successes and no failures.
Gethyn hears Elspeth's words, grabs some bandages from a pocket and tries to help his brother. Medicine17
Albit is stable, unconscious but no longer bleeding out. Gethyn is still scared and crouching protectively over him, but he turns to look at Elspeth. I think I... he's okay, but...
Cove and Harriman fire their light crossbows at the grounded peryton:
Attack: 11 Damage: 7 Attack: 16 Damage: 5
But they both miss.
Jalt is up. One peryton is airborne and unharmed, the other is on the ground and badly wounded.
Peryton CON save: 9. A cloud of small, nasty-looking insects appears around the bird for a moment; it flaps and thrashes wildly, moving a little way north as it does so.
Rear group: Round Five Sulesdeg and Bodoric Peryton B Leda Nate and Soar
Sulesdeg and Bodoric's crossbows fire:
Attack: 22 Damage: 9 Attack: 20 Damage: 3
Both hit, but again, doing less damage that you would expect.
The remaining peryton, having seen its mate decapitated, screams and flies at Soar:
The bird flies past, beak and talons both connecting and hurting badly; Soar is pretty wounded now, but still standing. The peryton hovers ten feet directly above her, looking to make another attack and finish her off.
Leda drops her mace, picks up her crossbow, and fires - but doesn't hit.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Nate sees the Peryton shift its focus to Soar. At first he is relieved, but then feels genuine concern and fear as he sees the bird attack her the same way it attacked himself a few moments earlier. He sees her blood spurt out, and will immediately call out to her "I have you, So... Boar!" and then will cast the same Infestation spell to try and distract the bird again. 14 CON save, 2 Direction = 2
...and as a bonus action level 2 shot of Healing Word channeling it directly at Soar, all from under the wagon in an attempt to revive some of Soar's HP.
Edhelri is there, crouched behind the opposite wheel but looking calm. There's no-one else under the wagon. She, Leda and both perytons are within 15 feet of Nate.
(If you're thinking of something like Thunderwave, then Nate could move a little so that Edhelri is out of the blast zone. However, Leda and the peryton are next to each other. If he wants to move so that Leda is also beyond 15 feet he will provoke an Opportunity Attack as he moves away.)
(Nate was thinking of that... well, what's really going on is Nate is freaking out, becoming extremely claustrophobic being under the wagon with that Peryton nipping and clawing at him while he's already badly wounded.

CON save 14, 1 and random movement if needed 3
Peryton's CON save: 11
The peryton screeches in confusion and attempts to move, but bumps into the wagon and remains where it was.
Soar is up. (As is Jalt in the front group.)
(Sorry, did A or B land and try to attack Nate under the wagon? I think you said A landed and then later said B is on the ground?)
If one is still on the ground, Soar is going to try to flank it with Leda and attack normally with a smite. If they are back in the air she is going to ready an attack for the next swoop, casting ensnaring strike to keep it on the ground....
(Sorry, have corrected. B is up in the air, A is on the ground and is after Nate. You can flank Leda and make an attack if you wish.)
Jalt feigns excitement over seeing these creatures but in reality he's a bit nervous never having faced such creatures. To the peryton who has been injured the most, Jalt casts Toll The Dead for 8 (Wis 13 save)

Leda
Nate and Soar
Sulesdeg and Bodoric, seeing the vines restraining Peryton A, take their chance and attack:
Attack: 12 Damage: 4
Attack: 13 Damage: 3
Both bolts hit; the bird is looking pretty injured, and tries desperately to escape its restraints. It takes 5 as its turn starts.

Attack: 24 Damage: 12
Peryton A is badly wounded, but no longer restrained. Peryton B is so far unharmed. Both are on the ground, near to each other and near to all of you.
Nate and Soar are up.
Boar presses the attack on the injured one, hoping that the loss of one might scare the others off.
Attack: 19 Damage: 6
(Has Lasfelro gotten under a wagon? And what about the cultists?)
And geez, these damage rolls. I'll drop a level of smite into that hit, given none of these attacks seem to be landing hard. 8 radiant damage
Boar's longsword slices down; the peryton is distracted, watching Leda and waiting for her next strike. You see Leda's eyes widen and her mouth open in an exclamation of delight as you cut the peryton's head from its body, and the head falls and rolls a little along the road. Peryton A is dead.
