A sudden loud ringing noise, painfully intense, erupts from the glass case, which shatters into a flying spray of splintered glass.
The four animated dolls advancing from the rear are cracked and torn, but continue to advance.
The red-haired doll pulls out a needle from its hair and tries to pierce Qivys' ankle with it. Needle Attack: 5. Hit: 1 piercing damage plus 1 necrotic damage, and Qivys must succeed on a DC 12 Charisma saving throw...
Meanwhile Miss Primrose leaps down from Edgar's arms, and pulling a bobby pin out of her air, goes after Kei. Needle Attack: 21. Hit: 1 piercing damage plus 1 necrotic damage, and Kei must succeed on a DC 12 Charisma saving throw...

Peri:
Disappointed in the stake's lack of any noticeable effect, Peri summons the Arms of his Astral Self and sends them whipping out around him. He tries two more punches at the creepy baby, wondering why he's suddenly thinking of the name 'Stewie.'
Unarmed strike #1: 13 for 6
Unarmed strike #2: 14 for 9
Edgar and any dolls within 10ft of Peri: DC14 DEX save or take 8 force damage
Peri thrashes out, whaling the toddler with one strike, and sweeping both Edgar and his doll with his astral appendages. DC14 Dex Saves: Edgar: 25 Miss Primrose: 11

Boko, discarding any hopes of being quiet, rubs the ringing from her ears and mutters something about two being able to play at that game. She rubs her hands together and advances on the doll army, trying to step right into the middle of them, no more than 5 feet away from any of them, and at least 5 feet from her allies.
She claps her hands together once more, but very loudly, and a [spell[thunderclap[/spell] is heard. With great force. CON16 save or 12 thunder damage.
If this drops them, she takes no further action than to move back to the group to prepare to help hunt Edgar. If not, she will spend a Ki point to take the dodge action.
Three of the four dolls are further damaged – they are barely holding together.
But then you notice something disturbing - the three ragdolls seem to be stitching themselves back together. They don't self-repair all of their damage, but some of their "wounds" have been stitched closed.
Mr. Barnacle and his two little ragged friends leap on Boko, although Boko is ready for them. Mr. Barnacle's Little Hands Attack vs. Boko: 12 Hit: Boko is grappled Doll 2's Little Hands Attack vs. Boko: 6 Hit: Boko is grappled Doll 3's Little Hands Attack vs. Boko: 12 Hit: Boko is grappled
They also begin to cackle with horrible laughter: Both Boko and Qivys must make threeDC 11 Wisdom saving throwseach.
"Filthy barbarians!" shouts Edgar. He, too, seems to have had some of his bruises fade. He slashes out with sharp toddler fingernails at Kei's foot. Claws Attack #1: 17. Hit: 7 slashing damage. Claws Attack #1: 8. Hit: 7 slashing damage.
Then he turns and races for the stairway. Gerrard, Peri, and Kei all may have attacks of opportunity.

Gerrard:
Slashing with his glowing rapier at the retreating Edgar, Gerrard moves after Edgar afterwards, Laying into him with both weapons in an attempt to keep him from escaping.
Glowing Rapier AOO: Attack: 22 Damage: 9

Qivys and Boko take 6 and 5 psychic damage respectively, and are both incapacitated for one minute as they are overcome by a fit of bitter, arcane fits akin to laughter. (At the end of each of their turns, they can repeat the DC 11 Wisdom saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.)
Peri swings wildly at Edgar with his ghostly arm, but misses. Gerrard swings wide as well. (Kei may still have an attack of opportunity.)
Miss Primrose makes a jab with her pin at Gerrard as he passes by her. AOO Pin Attack: 15. Hit: 1 piercing damage plus 6 necrotic damage, and Gerrard must succeed on a DC 12 Charisma saving throw...
Catching up with little Edgar, Gerrard lays into the undead toddler with his blades. He hits him twice. He's a tough little abomination, but the damage is beginning to show.
Kei may have his AOO on Edgar, and Qivys (incapacitated, but may roll a WIS save) and Kei may act next.
Edgar is now halfway down the cold, black stairs, followed closely by Gerrard, but the dolls are closing in on the others from two sides.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Kei
Weaponless, he let's Edgar slip past him without attacking. Instead he moves 10ft to the top of the stairs so he can see Edgar's disappearing form and unleashes a plethora of arcane bolts. All darts seeking the middle of his quarries back.

The little boy shrieks in pain as a quintet of glowing darts strikes him in the back. His high-pitched wail reflects his young age.
Lankus spins and races into the parlor, thrusting with his spear at the red-haired porcelain doll trying to stab Qivys, who is overcome with palsied spasms. (And who may make a DC 11 Wisdom saving throw to try to end it.) Spear Attack: 16. Hit: 7 piercing damage

Qivys regains control of himself, and remain standing, shaking off the effects of the horrifying ragdoll cackling.
The two badly-damaged porcelain dolls renew their attacks:
The red-haired doll vs. Qivys: Needle Attack: 23. Hit: 1 piercing damage plus 3 necrotic damage, and Qivys must succeed on a DC 12 Charisma saving throw...
Miss Primrose vs Kei. Pin Attack: 13. Hit: 1 piercing damage plus 1 necrotic damage, and Kei must succeed on a DC 12 Charisma saving throw...
