Dropping the bow and drawing his blades, Gerrard moves towards the beasts, deftly switching places with Kellen and moving into melee range with both vultures even as he moves his ally out of melee range. His dagger flares to life with foreboding flames as he settles into a defensive stance!
Shaking off the poison and resisting the stun, Gerrard has his choice of targets. Choosing the one that appears to be more wounded, he launches a flurry of attacks with his flaming dagger and rapier!

"Damn these things!" Kei curses through gritted teeth as he launches a volley of shadowy energy at the vulture-like creature that Gerrard chose not to attack.

Demon #2 screams in pain as Gerrard repeatedly stabs it.
Beams of crackling energy pour out of Kei. The first creature takes a single hit, while the other takes all three. Both are bloodied, dripping black ichor.
#2, still mentally unbalanced from Kellen's arcane mockery, tries to tear into Gerrard again: Shred Attack #1 vs. Gerrard: 17. Hit: 10 Piercing damage plus 11 Poison damage. Shred Attack #2 vs. Gerrard: 14. Hit: 12 Piercing damage plus 9 Poison damage.
#3 flies into the air, some 15' over your heads, and releases another cloud of choking spores. Gerrard and Kellen: Make a DC 15 CON Save or take 7 Poison damage and become poisoned.

A gargantuan wormlike horror approaches from the west in the glare of the setting sun, its three-jawed maw wide, and a cluster of tentacles protruding from where a tongue might be.
From the east, the Seaton warship, commanded by Gerrard's cousin Elwood, approaches. It launches a fresh volley at vulturelike thing #3, flapping its leathery wings 15 feet above your heads:
Mangonel #1 Stone Attack vs. flying horror #3: 14. Hit: 39 bludgeoning damage. Mangonel #2 Stone Attack vs. flying horror #3: 15. Hit: 18 bludgeoning damage. Ballista Bolt Attack #1 vs. flying horror #3: 23. Hit: 9 piercing damage. Ballista Bolt Attack #2 vs. flying horror #3: 25. Hit: 20 piercing damage. Ballista Bolt Attack #3 vs. flying horror #3: 7. Hit: 8 piercing damage.
Rurik also fires a ballista from the quarterdeck at the horror attacking Gerrard: Rurik's Ballista Bolt Attack vs. flying horror #2: 20. Hit: 12 piercing damage.
It takes everything Gerrard can dish out, but the noble manages to ultimately slay the demon in front of him.
Kellen focuses his attention on the one hovering 15 feet above them, but his arcane fist is unable to connect with the wheeling, twisting horror in the air.
Relieved that Gerrard had felled his foe it becomes apparent that their swordsman couldn't reach the final bird-thing. Kei weaves his hands intricately as he mutters arcane words. A shadowy ball of whisper thin threads spreads around the flying horror. "Come join the party!" He shouts as his spell fills the air around the creature.
A - casts Web directly at the flying horrors body. DC17 DEX save or become restrained.
As the second demon boils away into a foul-smelling ichor, Kei conjures a stringy, sticky net overhead to try to reel in the third demon. DC17 DEX Save: 19
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The foul thing evades Kei's sticky trap (which falls back to the deck and dissolves, together with the ichor.)
The thing wheels around and descends upon Kellen, still flying a bit erratically from Kei's mental static: Demon shred attack #1 vs. Kellen:6. Hit: 12 Piercing damage plus 6 Poison damage. Demon shred attack #2 vs. Kellen:8. Hit: 9 Piercing damage plus 12 Poison damage. DC17 INT save to shrug off Kei's static: 15

Kellen
Once again starting to get shredded by the creature, Kellen will move his hand and try to grapple with it, closing the hand around it:
Escape DC 17; if it does not escape then 16 crush damage

The flying demon attempts to evade the shimmering magical hand. DC17 Dex Save: 19
It is arcanely grappled, and held aloft by Kellen's arcane appendage, and slowly being crushed.
Rurik loads another bolt in the ballista. The warship further closes, you can hear sailors shouting aboard it. (120' and closing)
The gargantuan, wormlike terror glides ever closer (90' and closing).
Gerrard and Kei feel their minds assaulted by an unfamiliar static. Gerrard and Kei: Make a DC16 Wisdom Save
