Now that poison gas fills the center of the room, Chen can see where the walls of force are blocking him off from his targets, and obscuring them. Instead he follows the directions from Fi'Finella, not knowing whether he is being led to more threats or to safety. Still full of the rage of battle, and remembering the thread of conjuration in this room, Chen glares around him at the figures on the shelves, wondering whether it is these small things that have magically enlarged and come to life.

How does a red dragon blow out the candles on its birthday cake?
Jezun isn't sure his staff will fit in the gap enough to hit one of them, so he tries...likely badly. (Rolling at disadvantage, if the attack can even happen.)
The thing inside the smoke seems to respond to Jezun getting close and moves close enough for him to slam his staff through the 1 inch gap and strike it. It hits with a solid hit.
Chen looks around the shelves as he moves....no...these things weren't on the shelves....he's sure of it.
Suddenly the unarmored elven automaton teleports onto the table in the middle of the room. It looks around, and casts the same spell again...the poison in the wall of force vanishes, and the entire rest of the room fills with poisonous smoke instead.
Con saves DC 14. 15 poison damage. Except of course you're all immune to poison, so as the thick poisonous miasma spirals around the room, a magical force inside you seems to dissolve the harmful gasses.
Even if the poison was harmless, the machine, producing it, was annoying. Mirica was not going to waste precious powers on it - a precise strike of the claws had to be enough to test how strong that machine is: Primal Savagery Attack: 17 Damage: 21 + 7 radiant
Mirica steps into the creature, her hand turning into a fearsome claw as she rakes her hand across the thing, rending cloth and sending chunks of weird fleshy material spraying out in bits. It stumbles back....12...jittering from the blow...and the magical poison filling the room suddenly evaporates and is gone.
Jezun, from through the gap where you are standing, and can now clearly see the elven warrior creature, it begins swinging it's sword through the gap at you....stabbing it out several times.... Attack: 12 Damage: 9 + 8. Attack: 18 Damage: 14 + 10. Attack: 12 Damage: 15 + 7.
The other one just backs away from the large flaming ball that's still rolling around inside the wall with them.
The big steel and iron automaton creature continues pounding on the wall uselessly.
Toc rolls the ball over to the other warrior thing. 16 vs 18 for 8 fire damage or half. Then he leaps up onto the table next to the unarmored one and swings his rapier at it twice.
Attack: 25 Damage: 8 + 4 fire damage. Attack: 16 Damage: 10+ 6 fire damage.
His rapier stabs through the thing and like a marionnette with it's strings cut, the thing just goes limp and slides off his blade landing in a pile on the table.....smoking from the magical green flame that had encased it.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Fianna walks to a spot about three feet behind Jezun, targets the thing that he is trading stabs with and cuts loose with some Blasts of the Eldritch variety. After unleashing the beams, Fianna will move about 10 feet to the east. Safely away from the area of the gap, Fianna will look at the creatures stuck behind her Wall of Force and make faces at them, stick out her tongue blowing raspberries, that sort of thing.

Mirica was not sure her holy magic is needed to deal with the remaining offenders, but she could probably slow down those inside to end their suffering faster: Spike Growth covering all the area inside 3 piercing damage for every 5 feet each creature travels within the area (every round).
Jezun backs away from the edge of the wall of force, as Fianna steps forward, and aims carefully between the gap. Despite the heavily armored thing, and the tiny gap she's blasting through, Fianna releases her magic with precision, striking the thing three times, sending chunks of rubbery flesh bits flying everywhere and denting the things armor as it blasts through it. The creature stumbles.
Mirica is about to cast her spell, but then she realizes she's not sure what will happen, and hesitates.....
(Where do you target the spell? Through the gap? It's possible that spikes still grow, both inside and outside of the wall of force...potentially filling the whole room.....you're not sure if the wall of force will prevent the spikes from coming up all over the place. Take the chance?)
Jezun and Chen's actions still....though with a wall of force, options are limited.

The big steel and iron automaton creature continues pounding on the wall uselessly.
Chen is still keyed up for a fight but his prime target is on the other side of an invisible wall, so he walks briskly right up to the wall until his face is as close as possible to the automaton's face, like two boxers meeting before a bout, and punches the wall in answer to the metal creature. Without breaking his gaze, the big gold dragonborn barbarian continues pounding on the wall uselessly.
"Please, don't,"just in case it was a serious suggestion and not a happy joke answered Mirica, while figuring out the interaction between area coverage and force field.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Mirica summons spikes...the sprout up all across the entire floor...the wall of force not stopping their spread...perhaps because of the break in it, or perhaps not....but either way she quickly lets the magic dissipate before her friends get hurt.
Chen pounds on the wall with the huge golem.
Jezun, the attacks through the gap or with disadvantage....cause....attacking through a tiny crack is hard. Roll your disadvantage attacks for me if you don't mind.
The elf warrior on the other side stabs back at him. The battle would be comedic if not for.....no....wait...it's still comedic. Attack: 16 Damage: 7 + 5 Attack: 10 Damage: 12 + 9 Attack: 17 Damage: 11 + 6
Toc rolls the fire over to the one fighting Jezun, since the other one has managed to sneak back into a corner where the fire couldn't burn it. 17 save vs DC 18 or 4 fire, save for half.
Toc fires three rays of fire through the tiny gap at the creature. Attack: 23 Damage: 11. The blasts strike despite the tiny space....scorching the warriors armored body.
Everyone can take your next turn. (Jezun, so, roll your disadvantage for last attacks, and then make these next round of attacks as well.)
Chen keeps glaring at the golem, but rather than standing still and pounding the wall, he slowly paces back and forth just a little bit, like a prowling cat, as if the wall is suddenly going to open up and admit him space to fight the big metal creature. He still occasionally hits the wall with his fist or his hammer, growling and snarling and glaring all the while.

“Chen? Would you be a dear and come do something useful?” Fianna asks in a bit of a song song, sickeningly sweet voice. “If you could stand here in front of the gap and prevent them from hitting us, Toc and I can likely stand behind your magnificent girth and safely pick away at them until they’re down...”
((Figure there’s no reason for melee. If Chen stands out of their reach, Toc and Fianna could use him as cover and just cantrip away at them for as long as needed... Chen’s only danger would be if they have done ranged attacks they can get through the 1 inch gap. ))
Fianna will give Chen a moment to consider. If he agrees to be the human shield she’ll wait til he positions himself then step behind him, peer over his shoulder, or around his side, and blast three Eldritch Blasts at the nearest bad guy inside the walls. If Chen doesn’t agree, she’ll step into position, blast away, then move off to the side anyway...
"Gap?" roars Chen. He lumbers over (same turn? next turn?) but it's hard to see a gap in an invisible wall. And he doesn't stand where Fianna suggests, preferring to get right up to the wall and attempt to fight the creatures. He expects with his proximity to be attacked, and will try to grab the warriors weapon or arm when it does...
OOC: Is the DM okay with the DMGs Disarm rule? If so, Chen will take the Ready action, and attempt to disarm the elf warrior when it attacks him.
OOC: Happy to do all this only if Chen isn't pushing Jezun out of the way against his will.
(Oh that's totally fine -- Jezun was disengaging after his attacks thanks to his mobile feat. So Chen can sit there if he likes, though he doesn't need to, right? We don't need someone to stand there, we can just have the casters fire away from 15+ feet.)
Chen complies, wandering over near the 'gap'....the automaton on the other side complies with his wishes and stabs the blade through....Chen...ready..grabs it, and there is a brief struggle until three vicious blasts of magic shoot past Chen. The creature just sorta collapses....his blade still being held up by Chen....though when Chen tries to free the blade, the 1 inch gap proves too small for the hilt of the blade to fit through, so he's forced to just drop it.
Now inside is just one more automaton, and the larger golem....and a ball of fire that keeps rolling back and forth...though Toc has started to notice that every time it rolls through the big golem....the energy from the fire seems to make the thing angrier, and the heat seems to make all its clockwork parts inside spin even faster...the metallic body looking shinier.
The last elven construct moves over to the gap and plays briefly with the group, but it shortly roasted and blasted into an immobile pile of burned flesh and armor.
All that remains is the large golem, however it doesn't seem drawn to the gap, and just stands in the middle, pounding on the wall....leaving it at an angle where the spell attacks can't reach it. Toc dismisses his burning ball which seems to just be giving the thing power.
You seem to have a few moments of quiet.....aside from a hollow 'thud thud thud' of pounding from inside the wall.
((Leaving it at an angle spell attacks can reach it? Then just keep blasting away until it falls? If the Eldritch Blasts don’t seem to be working then Fianna will switch to Chill Touch ))
((Chen not really needed at the gap unless they start throwing stuff or using bows or such... but really he needed something to do besides punching a wall and adding to the headache inducing cacophony? lol))
