Darion curses under his breath, then sees the plants spring up around, sectioning off the Yuan-ti. He nods, moving forward up to 30ft, he will try and find a rock, tree stump or the like to get behind. He grins at Ellis "Here goes nothing!" he calls, then launches a fireball right in the middle of the nearest group of broodlings (to the right from his perspective facing the Yuan-ti army, in front of the section Tempest & co are going to land in). It will probably burn away some of the plant growth behind them, but he figures they are soon going to have enraged Druids and Barbarians dropping out of the sky to keep them busy.

Ellis notices the plants, thinking that this will make it easier for them. He follows, moving up and doing the same as Darion to get behind an object. Then he nods as he had watched the fireball hit the broodlings. Realizing that he was still too far away to do the spell he wanted, he decided to try his original plan with the hopes that it might work. So he looks at the biggest groups of Yuan-Ti that are in front of the wall entrance and casts a spell to incapacitate them.
Movement: 30 feet forward
Action: Cast Hypnotic Pattern aiming at/in the middle of the three groups of Yuan-ti in front of the wall entrance, looking to affect the most Yuan-Ti as possible 30 foot cube, WIS Save 15 - if failed, they become charmed, incapacitated and a speed of 0
Erro huffs along, continuing to charge; no fireballs or spells or airdrops for him! He tries to keep an eye on both groups of friends, ready to peel off and help whichever group gets in the most trouble... but he thought he already knew who that would be.

Rawk & Tempest- You land and Tempest immediately transforms into a huge cave bear snarling then lunges in to attack alongside Rawk. The yuan-ti nearby are caught off guard and stare in awe as a winged humanoid and bear tear into their comrade. Rawk slams her axe into the shoulder of the yuan-ti and it howls and hisses in pain as bear Tempest claws at it flesh ripping away skin and knocking it to the ground. Rawk's second swing goes wide as the yuan-ti falls to the ground and Bear Tempest leans over to finish it off with a loud CRUNCH as his large mouth covers and bites down on the face of the yuan-ti. The yuan-ti rally and turn to meet these new attackers as an explosion rocks them from behind. Within a few seconds Rawk and Tempest are surrounded by four yuan-ti. Rawk dodges the first attack but feels the blade of a yuan-ti's scimitar cut into her side followed by a piercing blow from a spear that sends a new rush of pain through her body as the poison enters her blood stream. Bear Tempest manages to deflect two of the attacks with his large paws but is bitten twice by the snake armed yuan-ti and roars out in pain.
Darion, Ellis & Erro- You sprint forward alongside the soldiers then Darion and Ellis slow to a halt and begin casting while Erro continues forward with the army. Just before the soldiers reach the broodlings a red bead of energy arcs across the sky and lands in the mix of the broodlings. There's a bright flash and a loud THWOMP! as the bead explodes sending flames, body parts and a pressure wave radiating out. Many of the broodings still stand but are badly burned. A moment later a bright flashing cube of arcane energy expands in front of the gate and two of the yuan-ti go limp and crumple to the ground from Ellis' spell. You hear the hum of arrows wizzing by overhead and watch the numerous impacts on the yuan-ti and broodlings. The surprise has worn off and the yuan-ti manage to hold their own at the front releasing a volley of their own that takes down a small group of soldiers. The shamans do what they can to aid the injured and you see a few of the fallen soldiers stand back up and resume the fight. The broodlings are unleashed and leap into the fray biting and clawing at the soldiers with brutal savagery. The soldiers fight back and the opposing forces remain at a stalemate. behind the lines the yuan-ti hiss curses at the disruptive hedges spending most of their time fighting their way through the brush.

Erro charges into the melee, charging 30ft straight towards Rawk and Tempest from his current position. He clashes with the broodlings who have already been blasted by Darion’s fireball. Though he doubted they could hear him through the din of battle, Erro would yell to Rawk and Tempest that he was on his way.
Ellis was disappointed as only two went down from his spell. He needs to be a little closer to do his one spell, moving up a little bit and hiding again before casting a spell to heal one of the injured soldiers. He will also prepare himself if somehow any of those broodlings come up.
Movement: 10 feet forward
Bonus Action: Healing Word on a injured soldier for 8
Darion will skirt forward again with Ellis, again seeking to crouch behind relevant bits of terrain. Seeing Ellis' plan, he shouts out "Good idea!" he will then cast Hypnotic Pattern himself at the southern groups of enemies from his position - aiming to sow so chaos and disruption as the two armies clash.

Rawk and Tempest continue their localized battle while Kurrk rains down arrows onto the yuan-ti below. Tempest slams into one of the yuan-ti and pushes it into Rawk's blade as she thrusts and pierces the corrupt creature's heart. The yuan-ti writhes for a few seconds then falls to the ground. Rawk's second attack glances off the blade of the second yuan-ti who twist and swings wide over her head. The snake armed yuan-ti is unsuccessful in biting Tempest while the bear chomps down on the arm just behind the head of one of the snakes.
Erro surges forward as soldiers and broodlings fall to the ground from their wounds. A charred broodling leaps up from teh side and tries to attack Erro but he plants and spins using the creature's momentum against it. The beast rolls over his shoulder claws scraping against Erro's shield and lands on its back. Before it can right itself Erro plunges his sword into the beat's chest and with a cough of blood the creature dies. Erro turns hearing the snarls behind him and just dodges the claw of a broodling as it lunges towards him. He tries to retaliate but the damp ground causes his footing to slip just a hair and the flat of his sword clangs harmlessly against the creature's hide. The momentary pause in attacks gives you a clear glimpse of Tempest and Rawk and you take a few more steps towards them as a spear wielding yuan-ti slithers in on its scaled serpentine lower body. Two arrows protrude out from its torso but it's eyes flare at you before it jams its spear in your gut.
Darion and Ellis inch slightly forward but keep their distance as they each cast spells. Ellis calls out a word of encouragement to a soldier and his wounded side glows white with restorative energy. The soldier stands back to his feet and resumes the fight. Darion weaves a similar arcane cube that flashes into existence and causes three yuan-ti and one broodling to go limp. The armies clash and volleys of arrows fly between the groups but neither side gains any ground. Ellis feels a sharp pain in his thigh as an arrow pierces his flesh then a surge of burning pain floods your senses as the poison hits. The rear of the yuan-ti army fights their way through teh twisting hedges and seems to be gathering towards both fronts.
Erro staggers from the force of the blow; too early to sustain this kind of wound, but he had to keep going. A gust of wind blows in from the east as Erro casts [spell]Zephyr Strike[\spell] and air can be seen to be roiling around his blade. Erro wrathfully lashes out at the abomination that stabbed him.
Attack: 9 Damage: 4 Z Strike: 8 Slayer: 2
Attack: 12 Damage: 7
With 30ft extra movement speed and ability to avoid opportunity attacks, Erro rushes through the enemy ranks and the overgrown hedge like a blur, hoping to be able to link up and bring support to his friends as they together attempt to disrupt the enemy formation for the advancing Dom-Gar army.
Ellis winches, feeling the arrow and then burning pain. Crap, they can still reach them! He needs to move away from the ones shooting the arrows, being closer to that wall should be safer. "Their archers can reach us. We should move up closer to the wall." Ellis whispers to Darion before he quickly moves up toward the wall. Then he spots Erro, Rawk and Tempest ahead; thinking that they need the help. So he then casts a spell at the Yuan-ti and broodlings around his friends and the soldiers to help take them down quicker.
Movement: Move 30 ft, 5 spaces up diagonally left toward the wall and one space forward diagonally down
Action: Cast Faerie Fire at the Yuan-ti and Broodlings between Rawk/Tempest/Erro and the Army Group, placing it to only hit the enemies
20 ft cube, DEX Save 15 or they shed dim blue light and attackers have advantage against them

((Brad, why are you sooooo unlucky!!! lol))
Darion holds of on casting his remaining fireball, wanting to get a better feel for where it may be needed. He glances at Ellis as he runs past, slightly torn. He then follows Ellis a little towards the walls, but not wanting to move to much. Unsure what to do, he catches a glimpse through the chaos at Erro's enthusiastic if a little wild swings at the enemies around him. Instinctively, Darion will shoot off a magic missile at one of the enemies near Erro (I will leave it to DM to decide what he would see in the chaos).
Darion curses under his breath, then sees the plants spring up around, sectioning off the Yuan-ti. He nods, moving forward up to 30ft, he will try and find a rock, tree stump or the like to get behind.

((and yes, Erro is profoundly, painfully unlucky. He doesn’t believe in luck because he doesn’t believe anybody’s luck could be that bad))
((I love how your bad roles perfectly fit Darion's in game world view, and sees it all because Erro believes in fate not luck!))
