He desperately looks around for any further clue to what's happening, anything that might make sense of the chaos that surrounds them. Is...Have they said anything? Do we know why they're here? He looks to see if there are any frog people who might be standing back from the fighting or doing something unusual. Perception7

Witt let's loose another arrow and once again it sails true, reaching his target without issue. It doesn't seem like a deep strike and yet it's more then enough to topple the injured creature. With a haggard, struggling gurgle, the frog person finally succumbs to its injuries as it crumples to the ground.
"Frog People" turn:
For a moment it seems as if the battle might be at an end, but just then loud toad like screams can be heard, as heavy ground slams can be heard approaching quickly. With a pair of incredible leaps two more large forms land near the party. You see two more of these frog creatures yelling as they charge towards you, Both of them riding atop their own Giant Frog each nearly as large as a horse. The reinforcements have arrived.
One leaps forward and lands next to Sora, ready to unleash their attacks. The other one leaps forward as well and then leaps forward once more in order to reach next to 9. However it's not moving quickly enough to much else yet.
However the one on Sora commands it's mount to attack first, which it does by shooting out it's long stickly tongue.
Bite Attack: 12 Damage: 6
As the tongue lashes out Sora manages to leap out of the way, avoiding a dark fate in its surprisingly jagged maw. The toads rider cries out what you're fairly certain are a string of curses before it takes its spear and rapidly pokes down at Sora with two quick thrusts.
MulitAttack: 4 Damage: 4
MulitAttack: 12 Damage: 3
This time the blows land hard digging into Sora's flesh with every spear thrust as she dodges out of the way of the giant frog's maw.

Moira
Suppressing a scream at the arrival of the frog riding frogs Moira darts ahead a little shifting the hex shadows to the mount of the one attacking Sora. And then let’s off a blast of eldritch energy. Then ducking behind the bushes that were just in front of her
Dark shadows slowly drip away from the frog man's corpse on the ground reaching and wrapping around the nearby giant frog mount. At the same time another bust of magical energy scorches through the air towards it, but the huge toad manages to just barely dodge out of the way.

9 extends her hand towards the swarm of ravens, rapidly babbling in Elvish. Her voice extends to a thunderous boom as it collapses on the frogs in front of her. Shatter with channel divinity, 24 thunder damage, half on a Con 14 save. She then points at the surviving frog Attack: 10 Damage:9

Saves: 5 Giant Frog - 4
The thunderous power wreaked havoc with the sensitive membranes around both frog creatures. Ear drums burst, eyes bleed, and both rider and mount convulse violently before collapsing to the ground in pain, the two bodies creating a slowly growing pool of blood from all their leaking orifices.

Nemeia watches as the creatures before 9 melt into pools of blood. She lets out a quiet "gross" before turning her focus toward the creatures attacking Sora. Cali moves to the flank of the creatures and growls menacingly while ready to dodge any attacks that may come its way.
Nemeia then twists the stock of her crossbow, the firey runes glowing with arcane energy. She draws the crossbow onto the rider attacking Sora and unleashes a burning projectile at the creature.
Attack: 24 Damage: 11
Bonus Action: [Tooltip Not Found]. Action: attack rider with crossbow. Cali moves toward the mounted creature attacking SORA and takes the dodge action.
Nemeia lets loose the empowered magic bolt from her crossbow, which lights aflame in mid air as it trails a path directly towards its target. The bolt lodges into the frog rider's skull, and with a spurt of flame the its corpse falls off it's giant frog mount. However the giant frog itself is more focused on the mechanical creature now flanking it, with Sora now ready on the other side.
Soragrins as she stares down the giant frog, knowing the battle is now in her favor. As Cali distracts the giant frog, Sora capitalizes on the opening she provides, ducking down and ramming her blades deep into the frog's flesh.
As Sora drives her blades into the soft flesh of the giant frog in front of her it can only manage to let loose a weak croak before dying completely. As Sora pulls her swords back out of the creature it is left as nothing more then a bloated frog corpse on the ground.
Looking around you now, you realize that most of these frog creatures are already running. Whether they achieved whatever goal this invasion had for them or not, the frog people are now in full retreat, and you can see them leaping away in the far distance. They eventually disappear from sight within the thick foliage of the swamp surrounding the town. At that moment the sun finally crests above the horizon and surrounding mountains, and you begin to see sunlight starting to shine a light on the carnage and destruction left behind by this attack.

As Cali returns, Nemeia softly pets the smooth metallic surface. "Well aren't you fun," she says with a big grin. "Not too bad for your first time out." The whirling of internal gears produces a sound close to what a panther's purr would be. The tiefling's tail sways with a bit of excitement, her crossbow slowly losing the blazing runes along the firing line.
Nemeia investiages the area, trying to figure out what caused the creatures to attack the town. "Are you all okay?," she turns her focus to Sora who dashed heroically with little regard to her own safety.
Nemeia looks to Sora with excitement. "I had this dream last night that I was with my father working in his shop. He showed me the final pieces I needed in order to get her fully running. I'd been working on her for weeks but I just couldn't figure out what I was missing. Talking with Mary yesterday probably helped fuel the process as well." She pauses for a moment. "I think I finished her in my slee?," she says with a puzzled expression.
The panther attempts to mimic the attitude of a cat and brushes up against Nemeia for attention. It nearly knocks her off balance. "I decided to call her Cali."

“It looks great. Works even better.”, she touches the cold exterior of the mech, fascinated at the mechanical reality of it. She then looks around the town to see if anyone needs immediate help. Perception: 17
Joining the others in looking over the ferocious ferrous feline. "She is amazing Nemeia. I am going to check around the town to see if I can help anywhere. We should all meet up here later though and talk over what we all want to do next."
Moira begins making her way through the whole town. Helping where she can to clean up after the attack. If she comes across any unconscious folks she will cast Spare the Dying on them, and use Mending on damage done, focusing that on structures and necessary equipment. At the first guard she comes across she will approach "Does the town get attacked by frog men often?"
"This is so cool! You did an awesome job with her." Sora exclaims as she pets the mechanical creature playfully. "Nice to meet you Cali!" She seems almost to have forgotten the battle that just took place, and seems no worse for wear after the ordeal. Her attention now mainly focused on this fascinating new ally. As 9 approaches and inspects Cali as well Sora smiles up to her, "And you were pretty brutal as well, just a big thunderstorm of death over there. I was super impressed!"
"It has been a long while since I have awoken to screams like that. It's not my favorite way to start the day," she mutters as she surveys the area. She was going to get to the bottom of this raid and then she was going to eat breakfast.
The whole town looks ravaged by the attack but overall things could have been much worse. As you look at the disaster left behind by the invaders, it's clear this was a hit and run raid. Many of the townsfolk were injured while defending themselves. A lot was taken, most of it was food, but for the most the damage was fairly minimal.
One of the first guards you come across seems to be in charge as he shouts our orders to the other guards as she sees them while helping out citizens where she can. She's an average height human with grey eyes and auburn hair, her face seems a bit aged and weathered from experience but she still acts with vibrance and determination.
She looks over the group, or at least anyone who followed Moira, in response to her question,"You mean the Bullywugs? Not really. They're usually little more then a nuisance. They live out deep in the swamp. Evil jerks the lot of them, but never had an interest in the town until now. This, this is usual."
Nemeia thinks a moment before suggesting, "We found the reason why those goblins took over the mine. They were scared of these frog creatures; what did you call them? Bullywugs? Yes. They left the lake they had called home and found shelter in the mines where they wouldn't be eaten. Maybe the fro.. bullywugs were hungry and their main food source had relocated." Nemeia ponders if the bullywugs were actually evil or just hungry. They'd left the town a mess but it seems food was the goal. She looks to the others, "I guess we'll be hunting goblin eating frogs afterall."

Combat End
Sylnache Ashrain - 7th Sojourn
Seeing the combat is over, Sora takes a moment to catch her breath before looking over the mechanical creature that assisted her in combat.
"That ... is AMAZING! What is that thing?" Sora asks Nemeia excitedly as she points at Cali.
As Cali returns, Nemeia softly pets the smooth metallic surface. "Well aren't you fun," she says with a big grin. "Not too bad for your first time out." The whirling of internal gears produces a sound close to what a panther's purr would be.
