Fianna fears the group is handcuffed without full use of their magic and is thus determined to try to carry out her plan. Hoping it’ll work even if she succeeds, there’s no way to know for sure... not without doing it.

Fianna will then use a bit of her movement to step away from the (hopefully) engulfing flames but try to stay out of melee with any foes. ((Use best judgement as I can’t quite visualize it on my phone.))

DC18 WIS to save against Poly
(Odds Jahren knows what the large winged monster is, and anything about it? May I make a skill check?)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The demonic creature, now the target of those with free reign to apply their magic, is struck by a powerful spell from Jahren. 15 and promptly the thing goes "whoooomp" and turns into a small crab that clatters onto the ground.
Fianna vanishes from within the wind wall and into the poison of the next room (Con DC 11 Save or take 19 damage, save for half). Appearing in the library, Fianna smashes her lantern against the bookshelf. A large section of chained up books bursts into flames. (you figure about 1/5th of wall area of this room is now on fire). The leathery spines of the books burn with a blue'ish and yellow flame as the oil covering them burns. She backs away from the area a bit, from where the four demons are fighting Chen in the dark.
Jahren, you know this creature well. It's a Yugoloth demon. This creature, called a Nycaloth are the airborne shock troops of their armies. Powerful bat wings bear them swiftly aloft in battle, and the razor- sharp claws of their hands and feet cut through flesh and bone with ease. A nightmarish foe, a Nycaloth strikes hard and fast without warning, then teleports away. It uses its innate magic to turn invisible or create illusory doubles of itself, further confounding its enemies. Nycaloths are the most loyal of the Yugoloths. When they find an evil master that treats them well, they are unlikely to break their agreement unless the reward for doing so is extreme. He knows they are resistant to magic, and magical effects, and when they strike with their claws, the wounds stay open and people continue to bleed until healed. It can innately know where nearby creatures are, without sight, and is immune to poison and acid, and resistant to almost all other damage. It is however, susceptible to his polymorph spell...
As Jahren stands over the crab to protect it from harm he says to the others "nasty thing, a nycaloth like this." "Even when my spell ends we'll have to dispatch it quickly before it can teleport away. For now, let's make sure Chen is still having fun."
(Now can we put a monster into the Bag of Holding? :) )
Uh! Mirica could finally breath (literally) ((Are we all poisoned, by the way?)) But attackers, except for the one "crabbified", were still there and needed to be taken care of and those fighting them - returned to the fighting shape: Heal on Sebastion (70 HP).
She did not drop the Wind Wall just yet - cloud of poison was still around.
((Not MY bag of holding! Once that spell wears off it’ll revert to normal and burst it from within!))
On her next turn, Fianna will break another flask of oil on more of the books and then Far Step back out of the gas! ((Just putting it out there as I may be away rest of day))
Toc glances down at the crab, "Excellent..." then he glances through the howling wind. The sphere of darkness was once again impenetrable now that Mirica and her glowing hammer had left it. He begins drawing arcane symbols in the air, and then releases some magic to try and banish the darkness just outside the library but reaching in to around Chen. The sphere of black vanishes, revealing the fight.
Suddenly Chen can see! As the flaming books and light shining from Mirica's hammer is enough to illuminate the enemies before him!
One of them glares angrily, and the darkness blinks back into existence, fully in the library this time. Toc mutters an acidic elven curse.
Two of the creatures continue to try and kill Chen in the darkness. Attack: 26 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll. Attack: 24 Damage: 7. Attack: 23 Damage: 6 Attack: 14 Damage: 5.
Another one of them makes a loud chirp noise and suddenly the wall of wind collapses...the thick poisonous smoke in the statue room closing in on everyone once more.
(CON DC 11 or 19 poison damage at the start of your turns for Mirica, Toc, Jahren, and Sebastion.).
Crab CON save : 4 (irrelevant). The crab spasms and then its legs splay out and it dies...****y to have the massive Nycoloth burst back into being. It looks around, growling, and shaking its head.
Fianna pulls out more oil, smashing it across the books in the room. Strange green sparks seem to explode out from some of them, while black ichor seems to hiss and pop and poor from others. (Note, now that she's in here, she can see she could just walk over to that part of the room to get out of the fog if she wanted.
Fianna/Chen : DC 11 CON save or take 14 damages, save for half. Fianna, let me know how you 'finish' your turn.
The next time you hit a creature with a weapon attack before this spell ends, a writhing mass of thorny vines appears at the point of impact, and the target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be restrained by the magical vines until the spell ends. A Large or larger creature has advantage on this saving throw. If the target succeeds on the save, the vines shrivel away.
While restrained by this spell, the target takes 1d6 piercing damage at the start of each of its turns. A creature restrained by the vines or one that can touch the creature can use its action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC. On a success, the target is freed.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Fianna Con save: 14
She'll just Far Step again to someplace outside of the poison where she can see Nycoloth to end her turn. She's done enough on the books, probably time to see if it helped or not.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Mirica really wished she could be in two places at once - someone had to hammer into those demons good manners! - but Chen and Fianna were on it. She herself concentrated on the demon in the room. She positioned herself in a way to not hit anyone else and activated Duskcrusher's spell: Sunbeam from the weapon for 32 radiant damage with blinding, or half damage no blinding with Con save 18.
Sebastion roars, the sword slashing out and slamming into the creature twice, greenish blood spraying across the wall from the surprised demon. Vines explode out of mid air from the blade strike and try to wrap around the bulky demon. 24 The demon's thorny body shrugs off the vines, and they fall and shrivel to the ground.
Then a beam of blazing glowing light shoots from Mirica's held hammer, slashing towards the demon. Con save: 9 The light washes directly across him and he shrieks in anger as the light dazzles his eyes and the searing flame burns his flesh....though he doesn't seem as bothered by the blindness as he does by the radiant energy that melts and burns his flesh.
Fianna looks about....spotting a far corner clear of poison and tries to far step. 51 (1 - 40% is destroyed and fails to stop her.) Her spell fizzles as a book in a non-burning section jitters around in its chains and suck her spell in.
Taken 9 damage from attacks. CON save: 26 for 4 poison.
In the brief moment of non-darkness, Chen's senses that he is virtually surrounded by these demons and that none of his companions are near, save for Fianna across the room. (At least I think that's how it was at that time). Seeking a more advantageous battle position, he ceases his wild axe-swings, flourishes his cloak, and causes the room to almost completely fill with webs. He then climbs through the webs toward the ceiling and crosses the room until he is out of the darkness and poison.
Use Cloak of Arachnida to cast Web but filling twice the area (however you want to do that). DC 13 for DEX save to avoid restrained, or for STR check to break out.
Move up to 40' until out of AOE. Happy to take OAs from any of them. In fact, he can end his move standing on that table at the south end of the room. :)
The cloak releases a blast of magic, which none of the books seem to absorb, and the room fills with a thick mass of web. The four demons struggle in the sudden sticky strings.

Three of them manage to keep their claws free and take attacks at Chen as he climbs away, though he still can't see them.
He clambers out of the darkness and through the choking poison cloud, and out of the webs....walking over and jumping nimbly up onto the thick stone table, and turns to face the sphere of darkness and the rush of demons.
Running out of tricks amidst the poison cloud, darkness, and the ability of the nycaloth to teleport past any walls of force and the like, Jahren decides to simply heal himself and as much of the party as possible. He'll try to move away from the Yugoloth to ensure his heal reaches Chen if possible, and then move to a spot without any poison if he can.
Jahren moves out of the poison cloud, while casting a powerful healing spell, healing energy washing into Toc, Mirica, and Sebastion, AND CHEN AND FIANNA....even as the poison remains.
In the corner of the room, he manages to find a pocket clear of the poison gas.
Toc meanwhile, a hard to distinguish blur moving around in front of the demon, mutters arcane words, and the killing cloud of poison seems to fizzle away.
The demon seems to quest around with its senses, it's eyes dazzled, and being assaulted by two opponents. He sweeps its axe sideways at the one person it feels it can hit, not the dodging blurry elf....and swings its axe at Sebastion: Attack: 24 Damage: 17
Then with a pop it vanishes.
Chen, you emerge from the darkness and see fire! A third of the library seems on fire, smoke boiling into the room, and your webs burning up as well. You land on the table, but then you are once more surrounded by darkness. You hear something large suddenly moving in the room behind you.
The bug creatures meanwhile glance around, all of their targets fleeing, and sticky webs all around them. One of them glares back into the other room, and more poison gas explodes around the Sebastion, Toc, and Mirica. Toc curses in colorful elven. Another of them glances near Chen. Fianna, you see darkness surround Chen, but you can still see through it all.
Then they crawl through the webs towards Chen. One of them, stuck in the webs, teleports away.
Chen....suddenly the back of the room starts to feel very busy, as a lot more movement can be heard in the pure blackness around you.
Sebastion, Mirica, Toc : DC 11 Con save for half damage. Fail and take 26 poison damage.
Fianna, a third of the books in the room are on fire, the room is starting to fill with smoke. You see Chen surrounded by demons. There are webs all around you, but they're also on fire because of the burning books. So, you don't have to make a dex save to be free of the webs, but you do take 5 fire damage from the flames that have suddenly erupted all around you.
Fianna also, DC 11 Con save for half damge. Fail and take 24 poison damage.
Sebastion backs away out of the darkness...two of the creatures clawing at him as he attempts to depart. Attack: 13 Damage: 9. Attack: 26 Damage: 11.
He stumbles out of the darkness and into a wind wall (Strength DC 18 save or take 18 damage, save for half)....
As he emerges into the dimly lit room through the howling wind, he spots the massive demon fighting Toc and holds forth his holy symbol, "BEGONE!!!!" he shouts. Save: 24
The demon simply glares at him....
