4. Bernard healed Leon and safely moved away, his swarm covering the retreat. 5. Leon got his health somewhat returned only to fall under the attack of E1. 6. E1 did not try to decimate the corpse, but made sure to collect the weapon - E1 picked up Wave and moved after Alyssa. 7. E3 followed Bernard to his safe spot to land his attacks on slippery ranger: E3 vs Bernard: Attack: 11 Damage: 16 + 6 fire Attack: 22 Damage: 14 + 8 fire
(Bernard id down again?)
8. Alyssa's turn! E1 is near, outside the darkness, can not see her, and she definitely can pop out and hide back (keeping distance, of course) without any penalties.
Alyssa knew things were getting dire, but she had to focus on her concentration, otherwise things could unravel faster.
Concentration: Banishment Mirror Images: 2/3
Inhaling a breath and trusting her instincts, the elf would take hold of Whelm as she’d step through the darkness. She’d work her way through to reappear safely into the light, long enough for her to hurl the hammer at the most wounded of Efreeti, catch it, and retreat back into the shadows. Another snap, another crack of her whip.

The most injured efreeti was hidden by the darkness but the standing above Bernard's body looked bad enough to get attacked. Whelm was as close to singing as a grumpy dwarf can be, while flying towards his target and smashing into his back. E3 turned just to see his attacker jumping back into the shadows. Cursing loudly (if not understandably) he moved after the girl, not bothering to pick up Bernard's bow.
Round 6
Ramious's attack was true - he could feel it both with his own feelings and Blackrazor's. Still, his opponent was alive if not well, and kept trying to get his invisible foe:
E4 vs Ramious: Attack: 26 Damage: 10 + 2 fire Attack: 24 Damage: 9 + 2 fire
Current turn: Ramious - E4 - Leon - Bernard- E3 - E1 - E2 - Alyssa (Banishment)
The velvet safety of the darkness melted away, leaving Alyssa fully exposed to three efreeties, all wounded but not one seemed to be about to perish. Two of those she so boldly attacked just a moment ago, now slowly, lazily even, floated towards her across the room, grinning menacingly. From behind her back the third one said something that sounded far from friendly - there was no help from that direction either. Not anymore.
E4 did not join his fellows, though. He picked up Blackrazor from Ramious's hand, and now gleefully studied the blade.
"Tsk-tsk-tsk. Do they really have to do it? How about you go voluntarely? No?" Efreeties did not flinch at the sound of this voice but continued their movement as if afraid that their prey can be taken from them. "Guess I would not be able to stop them anyway. Don't worry, they know their orders. You'll be here soon anyway."
Efreetis raised their blades in unison as if practiced that move.
If I am not mistaken, Alyssa got 20 damage from E1 A2 (17+3 fire, because of Absorbe elements) and has one Mirror Image, because E3 A2 destroyed another one.
This is very interesting, but 5e does not have rules for "staying unconscious" before 3 non-critical saves happen. So, technically, everyone can continue to roll death saves.
Alyssa was still facing "only" three angry efreetis, probably surprised that they could not finish her off yet. They left the bodies of Bernard, Leon, and Ramious where they dropped, but there was no doubt they were keeping eye on them.
Round 7
Ramious can try to regain consciousness (death save).
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
It seemed E4 did not talk Blackrazor into submission or maybe was forbidden to use it, but the efreeti used his own weapon to attack already surrounded Alyssa.
E4 vs Alyssa: Attack: 29 Damage: 16 + 9 fire Attack: 16 Damage: 12 + 7 fire
(With advantage - flanking - or without, seems both hits. With only one Mirror Image, anything else she can do?)
E4 vs Ramious: Attack: 27 Damage: 15 + 5 fire Attack: 12 Damage: 13 + 6 fire
Current turn: Ramious - E4 - Leon - Bernard- E3 - E1 - E2 - Alyssa (Banishment)

Cut, beaten and burned. Alyssa heaved for air, but she was still there.

The elf throws down her things. Shield clatters to the floor. Contents of her bag spill on the ground to be found. Personal drawings and note scroll. Pens tumble and vials roll.
"Keraptis! I res-"
Alyssa flickers. Blackrazor hits her back. One last push and it cuts through.
"You're not 'just the creepy bug guy'." One last gasping breath. All colour begins to fade from A. Light motes fly away.

Then Leon goes down as 17+2 is still less than 21.
