Ulben freaks out a little, and swings his walking stick at the toad, as he does so he spins around, and takes a step forward, and one of Ulben's elbows goes flying at the toad's face.
The toad seems startled by Ulben's flurry of attacks, but maintains its predatory stance.
Aluzira, Tarek and Ulben are both about 15 feet from you on either side locked in melee with giant toads. Fluin and Torrent are farther to the left, and you can just hear Anakis within the thicket. What do you do?
The dagger you threw at the toad is lying on the ground 20 feet in front of you between the two toads that Tarek and Ulben are fighting. Going to retrieve it will put you within reach of both toads. Also, you can only move 15 feet with your movement, unless you dash, because the mud is difficult terrain. You still have your other dagger.
Bardic Inspiration only works on creatures other than yourself.

(Okay, Thanks!)
Aluzira will move 15 feet towards her dagger while humming a song about the sun, to give Tarek Bardic Inspiration, before striking at the toad attacking Ulben, keeping her dagger in hand.
Torrent, you stand toe-to-toe with one of the giant toads. Ahead of you and to the right at a distance between 20 and 45 feet, four of your party members are engaged in melee with three other toads. In the opposite direction, behind you and to the left about 25 feet, Anakis is retreating through the brush with another giant toad pursuing after her, which is 20 feet ahead of you and to the left.
Anakis, you can let me know what you do on your turn as well, if you wish.
The toad's skull absorbs the blow from Torrent's staff with a dull thud as it lets out a roar of determination.
Anakis, the toad chasing you through the dense thicket is now 30 feet from you and gaining, showing no signs of giving up.
Edit: Sorry, cross-posted with the above. Your options while remaining in the area of dense foliage are to continue straight along its border with the field which takes you almost but not quite straight away from your pursuer, or to veer to the right, heading farther into the thicket which would allow the toad to gain even more ground on you. Turning left instead would bring you out into the open field, exposing you to view.

"You're getting boring. Why won't you just die already?" Anakis changes up her strategy a bit as this toad is not going anywhere. Anakis will shoot a Fire Bolt at the toad that is running away from the larger section of the group (Attack: 23 Damage: 5) and then run back towards Torrent, getting as close as she can with her movement, even if she is out in the open. As she does, Anakis will say to Torrent, "Let's try to get them together and I'll try to splash the two of these toads with some acid."
(The toad following me should keep running after me, so you can probably keep focussing on the one that's looking at you. Once they get close to each other, I'll try Acid Splash)

Your bolt of fire arches over the thicket and through the spruce trees, hissing as it scorches the toad that's swimming across the pool.
You're now 10 feet from Torrent and just outside the thicket.
The scorched toad keeps swimming, climbs onto the far bank, and continues on through the stand of spruce trees on the other side.
The toad near Ulben and Aluzira turns in a panic to leap back through the trees. Aluzira and Ulben, you can each make an opportunity attack against the toad as it flees.
Seeing two of their number fleeing the battle, the rest of the toads seem uneasy.
Anakis' toad stops in its tracks and immediately begins hopping back through the thicket at full speed, also seemingly in a panic. It almost reaches the opposite edge of the thicket, near the pool of water.
Torrent and Fluin's toads back away cautiously, disengaging from melee, and each one takes a leap into the thicket, moving towards the pool.
Only Tarek's toad, the one that first ran to meet his javelin, decides to stay and try to get a taste of Tarek. Bite: 17

The toad's gaping mouth bypasses Tarek's shield and armor. Its razor sharp teeth pierce for 6 points of damage, and its dripping venom does another 2 points. Tarek is also grappled and restrained, held by the creature's mouth.

Tarek’s blade fails to make contact with the toad he’s fighting.
A giant toad just tried to grab Ulben with its giant, venomous mouth. What does the half-elf do?
Ulben freaks out a little, and swings his walking stick at the toad, as he does so he spins around, and takes a step forward, and one of Ulben's elbows goes flying at the toad's face.
Attack with quarterstaff 20 to hit
7 damage
Elbow to the face (unarmed strike) 24

(Two questions. Do I still have both daggers? I think I might’ve just lost one XD and can I cast Bardic Inspiration on myself?)

Aluzira will move 15 feet towards her dagger while humming a song about the sun, to give Tarek Bardic Inspiration, before striking at the toad attacking Ulben, keeping her dagger in hand.
Attack: 8 Damage: 6
Tarek, you now have bardic inspiration.
Aluzira, your attack seems to overwhelm the beast, and you can see its eyes widen with fear as it begins looking for a way to escape.
Fluin, your toad's attempt to engulf you failed, but it doesn't look like it's backing down any time soon. What do you do?
Still raging, Fluin grins and attacks the toad before him...
Rapier Attack: 25 Damage: 16
Fluin's mighty blow gives the great toad pause, but the creature holds fast for now, intent on its prey.
Torrent, a narrow dodge saved you from the bite of your slimy foe. What will you do before it tries again?
Perhaps some tactical information is in order?
Torrent, you stand toe-to-toe with one of the giant toads. Ahead of you and to the right at a distance between 20 and 45 feet, four of your party members are engaged in melee with three other toads. In the opposite direction, behind you and to the left about 25 feet, Anakis is retreating through the brush with another giant toad pursuing after her, which is 20 feet ahead of you and to the left.
Anakis, you can let me know what you do on your turn as well, if you wish.
(Sorry, I'm keeping up, I just had a bunch going on last night and this morning)
Torrent, wrenching his shield away from the frog, looks up at it. "Yeah, yer far too big. Keep your gob offa me, thanky."
He rears back and tries to crack the the creature on the skull with his staff.

(Anakis is about 35ft from her toad, is that right? And what kind of movement options does she have while remaining "hidden"?)

Now, you would've had advantage on that attack, would you like to roll again to check for critical damage?
(Ah yeah, sorry - Attack: 15 Damage: 4)
