Utar directs his spectral warhammer towards the knees of the were-jaguar. It already looks punch drunk, hopefully one well placed blow will send it down to the canvas non-lethally.
Bonus Attack: 25 Damage: 7
Feeling Moneus' tap on his back, Utar swivels on the spot, surprised at how quickly he responds. Obviously muscle memory doing its job. Spying the wereraven, he moves in close to engage, jabbing Lightbringer towards a wing.

Utar mentally orders his floating hammer to strike down the werejaguar (advantage roll = 15). Though it succeeds, the weapon does not hit hard enough for a knock out. (Werejaguar takes 5 force damage.)
Then, letting experience lead his next move, the cleric stabs his mace at the wereraven's wing. The shapeshifter reacts quickly, furling her wing just in time to avoid the strike.
NOTES: The grey "double hands" symbol represents the cage. The "red cross" symbol represents the patches of hay that are on fire. "S" marks the secret/fake wall where the werebear appeared from.
(OOC: As I mentioned in the OOC chat, something strange happened with Neya's attack rolls there. Unless there is a strong preference for the mystically lost rolls, I'll stick with the post's latest version.)
Taking a hint form her companions, Neya slaps the werejaguar non-lethally. Her first slap is coincidentally dodged by the shapeshifter, who is still bobbing back and forth. The monk does not allow that to happen a second time, and finally brings her foe down. (Werejaguar takes 8 magical bludgeoning damage and is DEFEATED.)

The airborne goblin is still focused on getting its revenge on the halfling:
-> Scimitar vs. Doozey: Attack: 14Damage: 7 slashing.
-> Bite vs. Doozey: Attack: 14 Damage: 9 piercing.
-> Doozey's CON saving throw {DC 10}: 3
The creature finally lends a blow in the form of a bite. The hunter is aware of what that might mean, but feels no lingering effects. (Doozey takes 6 piercing damage.)
The werebat then retreats as before, flying back up.

Still feeling surrounding Graxx maintains a composed posture and keeps his strikes accurate. He brings the Halberd down once more against the weretiger with great weapon mastery.
Doozey hardly needed to step away to avoid the tiger's claw, yet the served their purpose well enough. His defense is haphazard at best when it came to fending off the werebat next. Though he grunted from the bite, the Hunter had enough wherewithal to swipe back at the attacker. But just as before, the goblin proved just as sharp winged as Moneus was sharp-footed.
"And my kidnapping? The taking of my blood? The intent, as I saw it, to keep going doing so for your own ends? I gave those so called young ones an out the first time. And they practically spat on it." He states coolly, keeping an eye on Mama Bear from the corner of his vision. "Nevermind that your and your 'family's' claws are hardly clean. You only have yourselves to blame for this inevitable end." The last word comes out almost a sharp hiss as he finally lunged forward, aiming to plunge the rapier right into weretiger's torso.
Graxx weaves his long weapon more accurately, making contact with the weretiger once. His injuries are starting to accumulate. (Weretiger takes 25 slashing and radiant damage.)
Doozey argues with Mama but does not miss an opportunity to stab the cat-man. The blade sinks into the slash wound that Graxx just opened, and the shapeshifter roars in pain. (Weretiger takes 12 piercing and lightning damage.)
Moneus does not feel comfortable with an enemy so close to him. He steps out of the room {AF-52} and throws two knives at the winged old lady.
The lady pays for being engaged in a fight with Utar. It looks like the cleric-rogue fighting machine is just as well-oiled as back in the good ol' days. The first knife hits the back of her shoulder. As she turns to look at her assailant, a second knife digs deep into her neck. She falls, showing that she is not as resilient as the rest of her family. (Wereraven takes 31 magical piercing damage and is DEFEATED.)

The fire continues to take more and more of the hay, and the smoke has now reached a level were your lungs begin to fight it back.

Most can weather the smoke just fine for now, including the unconscious but still alive werejaguar. Neya is not so lucky and neither is the werebat flying about in the stuff. (Neya takes 3 poison damage; Werebat takes 3 poison damage.)
Slowly but surely, the fire has grown to a point were only a sliver of safe ground connects Utar to the rest of the party. The half-orc can still step out of the room if he wishes, but he is nearly surrounded by flames.

Mama responds to Doozey's comments: "You, my dear prisoner, all high and mighty and boasting about your blood... you were our spoil of war!" She roars a bit differently now, catching the attention of her family members. After that, she turns to face the exit, runs towards Utar, and attacks the cleric as she squeezes past him and exits of the room. She partly climbs up and down the wall to accomplish this run. {AF-50}.

-> Greataxe vs. Utar: Attack: 19Damage: 15 slashing.
Utar blocks both attacks with his shield but can't stop Mama from reaching the other side of the hay stacks.
The weretiger follows Mama out of the room after rolling out of combat. He reconvenes with her as they begin to form of barrier by the room's entrance {AE-50}.
Utar lashes out with Lightbringer as the werebear barges her way past him.
Attack: 22 Damage: 8
Bonus Action:
His spectral warhammer turns it's attention to the werebear also, traveling to AE,49 and taking up position behind the werebear and weretiger. It then swings low towards the knees of the werebear, hoping to unbalance her.
Bonus Attack: 17 Damage: 8
Utar's Action:
Knowing that Mama and the weretiger are likely hoping to trap CRAP within the burning chamber, Utar decides he needs to open a possible escape route for the others.
Lunging towards Mama, Utar attempts to grapple the werebear, hoping to push her backwards away from the cave entrance.

Finding success with his attack, Utar continues focusing on the leader of the shapeshifters both with his spectral warhammer and his own hands. Though the plan was for the hammer to hit the bear from behind, Mama is facing the fire/party, and is not caught by surprise. Nonetheless, her knee aches. (Werebear takes 8 force damage.)

Utar steps forward {AF-49} and give the werebear a bear hug. She finds herself unable to move.

Neya runs into the flames and squeezes by the weretiger. She optimizes her path as to minimize the damage taken, but by the time she turns and starts attacking, she has a couple new burns on her legs. (Neya takes 4 fire damage.)
The weretiger's reaction time is much slower than before. Neya hits him three times and he collapses. (Weretiger takes 23 magical bludgeoning damage and is DEFEATED.)
Surrounded, the weretiger lashes out in all directions:
