Celica's close-quarter combat training exercises with the Righteous Brand had paid off, it seems. And it looks like Balassar and Alton were here, too. Good! Now it was time to turn to other gifts.
"Did I forget to mention my powerful friends? Don't say I didn't warn you!" She says before stretching out her arms, a holy symbol in the shape of a crescent moon clutched in one of her hands. "Help me out, vespers!"
With a flash of light, swirling spectral fey-like shapes with mischievous grins appear in a 15 foot radius around her. They lash out and attack the thugs gathered around Celica.
(Casting spirit guardians. Because this is their first time entering the spell's area, each baddie needs to make a DC 14 Wisdom save. On a failure, they take 19 radiant damage. On a success, they take 9 radiant damage. When an enemy starts their turn in the spell's area, they must make another wisdom save against Celica's DC or take 3d8 radiant damage. While in the spell's area, the enemy's speed is halved. Celica is concentrating on this spell, so she'll have to make a con save to maintain concentration if she takes damage.)
The fey creatures are, I suspect, alien and frightening to the men - the light is eerie and flickers as they dart about in movements that are hard to follow or make sense of.
(My reading of the spell is that they take damage at the start of their turn, but not immediately. But it will get all of them.)
Round Two: Balassar Man 4 and Man 6 Alton Man 1, Man 2, Man 3, Man 5 Celica
Balassar is up. Balassar, as unnerving as the fey spirits that swirl around you are, it's clear they are not affecting you in any way.
Balassar just takes a deep breath as he brings his blade back down on the first man, priority for him was to make sure someone can talk at the end. He then lets out a roar as his instinct surges and he brings his blade down on the man not shackled by flames.
Balassar is a whirling, ferocious dance of slashes and stabs, magic infusing every movement and every strike. You can all see there's a reaction from all of the men; instead of being in control with a single helpless victim, they now understand they are fighting for their lives.
So far, none of the men have been killed or knocked unconscious, but the leader (Man 1) isn't looking great, and Man 4 and Man 5 are badly wounded.
Man 4 will disengage and run for it, down the alley. One of the others swears after him, though it's possible he's considering doing the same.
The first blow is a thud to the side of the face; Balassar, you feel the world go blurry for a second, and seem unable to hear anything but the pounding of your heart. You stagger, and luckily avoid the second strike.
"They'll gone down, like any other," the man says, trying to rally his comrades.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
(OOC: Did Man 4 and Man 6 take their lumps from [Tooltip Not Found]? Also, I’m tempted to use a reaction, but I feel like it would be unfair to use in a play-by-post)
Alton scampers across the rooftop and set up behind Celica. As he moves, he loudly says to Balassar casting healing word, “That looked like it hurt, but rub some dirt on it and you’ll be fine.” Once in position he will line up another shot with his hand crossbow at the guy that just pummeled Balassar and fire.
Movement: Moves 20ft to the left on the rooftop Action: fires a bolt at Man 6, Attack: 17Damage: 9 non-lethal piercing Bonus Action: healing word at level 2 on Balassar for 8

Man 5 drops, and the others seem now to realise the danger posed by the spirit guardians around them.
"Kill the elf!" Man 1 shouts. He steps around Bazavur to make three attacks on Celica: Scimitar Attack: 14 Damage: 4 Scimitar Attack: 25 Damage: 8 Dagger Attack: 12 Damage: 4
Man 3 runs off: Celica, you can take an Opportunity Attack if you wish. From a distance, he pulls out a crossbow and aims it at you: Crossbow Attack: 7 Damage: 3
Man 2 attacks you twice, staying in melee: Mace Attack: 7 Damage: 5 Mace Attack: 12 Damage: 5
Not a one lands. Man 2 will now move away, trying to get out of the dangerous fey cloud that surrounds you. If you didn't use your reaction already, Celica can make an Opportunity Attack against him as he goes. Balassar, you can also make an Opportunity Attack against Man 2, if you like.
Celica doesn't have her hammer at the moment, so she throws a punch against Man 3!
AoO against Man 3: 13, 3 bludgeoning damage.
On her turn, Celica turns to Man 1 and gives a mischievous smirk. "That's half-elf you jerk!" She jeers before she snaps her fingers and calls down a burning beam of moonlight.
(Casting sacred flame, he needs to make a DC 14 dex save or take 11 radiant damage).

Balassar is up. Balassar, as unnerving as the fey spirits that swirl around you are, it's clear they are not affecting you in any way.

Man 4 will disengage and run for it, down the alley. One of the others swears after him, though it's possible he's considering doing the same.
Man 6, so far unhurt, stays in the fight and attacks Balassar:
Mace Attack: 10 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.
Mace Attack: 22 Damage: 8
The first blow is a thud to the side of the face; Balassar, you feel the world go blurry for a second, and seem unable to hear anything but the pounding of your heart. You stagger, and luckily avoid the second strike.
"They'll gone down, like any other," the man says, trying to rally his comrades.
Alton is up.

Spirit Guardians:
Man 4 5
Man 6 4
Oh yeah, Man 4 is dead. Doesn't even get to disengage. Drops like a stone.
(Reactions are fine in pbp, no problem.)
Alton moves into the Spirit Guardians; it's an odd sight but you are not harmed at all by whatever these things are.
Spirit Guardians:
Man 1: 19
Man 2: 2
Man 3: 7
Man 5: 16
Man 5 drops, and the others seem now to realise the danger posed by the spirit guardians around them.
"Kill the elf!" Man 1 shouts. He steps around Bazavur to make three attacks on Celica:
Scimitar Attack: 14 Damage: 4
Scimitar Attack: 25 Damage: 8
Dagger Attack: 12 Damage: 4
All attacks miss hopelessly.
Man 3 runs off: Celica, you can take an Opportunity Attack if you wish. From a distance, he pulls out a crossbow and aims it at you:
Crossbow Attack: 7 Damage: 3
Man 2 attacks you twice, staying in melee:
Mace Attack: 7 Damage: 5
Mace Attack: 12 Damage: 5
Not a one lands. Man 2 will now move away, trying to get out of the dangerous fey cloud that surrounds you. If you didn't use your reaction already, Celica can make an Opportunity Attack against him as he goes. Balassar, you can also make an Opportunity Attack against Man 2, if you like.
Celica is up.
Balassar slashes at the man "No you don't."
OOC:
Attack: 9 Damage: 5
Giant's Strength: 5
A solid, and very nasty slice that leaves the man with blood spurting from the gash across his arm, shoulder and neck.
Celica is up.
Celica doesn't have her hammer at the moment, so she throws a punch against Man 3!
AoO against Man 3: 13, 3 bludgeoning damage.
On her turn, Celica turns to Man 1 and gives a mischievous smirk. "That's half-elf you jerk!" She jeers before she snaps her fingers and calls down a burning beam of moonlight.
(Casting sacred flame, he needs to make a DC 14 dex save or take 11 radiant damage).
A solid punch, slamming into the man's back as he flees.
Man 1's DEX save: 23
The light from above is intense, but seems slightly off target, or at least the man manages to dodge successfully to avoid it.
Can I also get a fresh damage roll for Spirit Guardians from Celica?
Round Three:
Balassar
Man 6
Alton
Man 1, Man 2, Man 3
Celica
Balassar is up.
19 radiant damage.
Balassar just looks at the man in front of him and smirks "Mistakes were made." he says as he brings down his blade down.
OOC:
Attack 1 on Man 1(choosing to do non-lethal damage): 25 Damage: 5
Attack 2 on Man 1(choosing to do non-lethal damage): 26 Damage: 5
Giant's strength damage in case one of the attacks hits: 4
Man 1 now has several serious wounds and is looking like one or two more might finish him off.
Man 6 WIS save: 16
