Seeing the battle start before him Grahl remembers seeing the purple one using plenty of magic against Urithag. Following his allies Grahl will move towards the purple one shouting Enough! No more pretend gods!His adrenaline taking hold of him getting pumped up.
He raises his axe high and brings it down towards the purple one while shes holding Urithag.
Movement: Towards the purple one Action: Strike the purple one with an axe (adv from grab) Attack: 20 Damage: 8
...very little about the purple old woman. He can tell she is magical but not the source. He can tell she is stronger than she appears, but he can't tell if that's magical augmentation or physical strength. He can tell, from this distance, that she smells like heavily burned cooking, but there's been no kitchen that he's seen.
In short, Her features appear humanoid, but you don't know for certain, and there's not much to go off for context.

Arbon continues his assault on the orange oracle, trying to stop whatever ritual he is trying to cast. He tries to use his shield to ward of the nearby bird while he swings his mace upwards.
The birds broke apart, each diving in separate directions. The first to move, on the far left, does so unimpeded. Chazrael marked the purple oracle, firing out vicious arrows that landed deep within a much more solid back then originally appeared. They jut out like harpoons on a whale, and it reeled back with an iron grip on Urithag letting out a deep growl. Birds two and three dive to assist their comrade. The Orange oracle rose its hands in anger, waving them about toward the resting Urithag's body. It began to twist violently, shaking from within a tortured dream state as the wounds on the Oracle inflicted by Arbon's holy magic started to seal. The Purple oracle tried to take the opportunity to run with Urithag's body but Onyx fired a fierce eldritch blast into her jaw, knocking the spit and blood from her sturdy mouth. She violently wrenched a powerful arm forward sending Urithag's body flying across the room towards Birds 1, 2, & 3 and she howled a terrifying moan. Grahl swung his ax hard, striking the floor where the Purple one had stood only a blink earlier. Birds four and five ran towards the Oracle to try to assist her while six readied to give his life for the Orange one. Arbon's shield slammed into its face before moments later the mace dug hard into the armpit of its left shoulder, cracking something deep. Its arm fell useless to the side.
Onyx quickly rattled off a hex, literally cursing the purple oracle's strength. Then, channeling some of the excess magic, he unleashed another blast.
MOVE: Step back another five feet (ONLY if already out of reach of the purple oracle) BONUS: Cast Hex, targeting the purple oracle and her Strength (disadvantage now on STR and Athletics checks) ACTION: Cast Eldritch Blast targeting the purple oracle - Attack Roll: 26, Damage: 11
Will grapple Urithag with assistance from 2&3, and drag him behind the altar.

Bird 2 & 3:
Will grapple Urithag with assistance from 1, and drag him behind the altar.
916
Orange & Purple Oracles:
The Orange Oracle will head down the steps behind the Altar to where the Birds tried to drag Urithag. You must roll Athletics to leap over the Altar, or spend a turn running around it.
The Purple Oracle will reach a hand out and fire a green & black beam of energy towards Grahl. Hit 9
Bird 4, 5, &, 6:
Bird 4 & 5 Will reach within 5 ft. of Onyx.
Bird 6 will try and grapple Arbon with disadvantage: Attack: 11 Damage: 0
Ducking out of the way of the beam fired by the Purple oracle Grahls anger turns to rage as he charges back at the creature.
Grahl does not notice the orange oracle moving away as he is focused on the purple one for now.
Raising his axe high he tries to time his steps to finish with his right foot forward as he chops down his axe diagonally towards the purple oracle. Aarggh ! The axe glows with energy as it swooshes through the air.
Movement: (Re-)engage with the purple oracle Bonus Action: Rage Action: Reckless axe (with divine fury) Attack: 19 Damage: 21
Bird 1 tries to pull Urithag back to the stairs with the help of two and three. Chazrael fires two rapid shots, but just like Grahl in the moments before, he misses by only a string of hair and the blink of an eye with two metal tips slamming into the stone walls behind her. Birds 2 and 3 successfully drag the unconscious body of Urithag behind the Altar as the Orange Oracle chuckles at Arbon leaving Bird 6's decaying form to slow him. The Purple Oracle fires a green and black energy blast that Grahl swiftly dodges. Onyx then cursed the Oracles substernal strength to perhaps a more manageable level, firing yet another deadly purple ball of energy into her chest blowing her form back like an uppercut to the jaw. This time, Grahl anticipates the blow and swung hard when it reeled back from the Warlock's blow, cleaving a thick slice into the dense hide on its back as its returned to its hunched form quick-but not quick enough. Birds 4 and 5 dive for Onyx, trying desperately to prevent his range assault on their other master from continuing. Bird 6 stands in Arbon's way, and it crumbles to the floor as he shoves it violently aside masterfully leaping over the Altar ready to strike the Orange oracle.
As Arbon deftly makes his way over the altar, he swings his mace at the orange oracle dragging the orc's body, trying to bring it down heavily on the creature's arm.
Seeing Arbon attack the oracle Grahl shrugs then nods lifting his axe into both hands ready to vent some frustration (initiative 10)
Chazrael nods and draws his bow.

"No!" snapped Onyx as he lashed out at the woman grabbing Urithag. He knew his spell to be weaker now... but it had to be enough!

Trying his best to ignore the birds that had surrounded him, Onyx once more focused his magic on the woman, desperate to take her down.
