Mirica, the darkness is suddenly banished as the magical light from your hammer fights against the oppressive inky blackness, giving you enough to use your darkvision. You charge for the 2nd door, but you see four insect creatures all around you, through the poisonous fog that fills the air, all with pitch forks leaping forward trying to kill you with claws and tridents stabbing at you.
Attack: 8 Damage: 8. Attack: 27 Damage: 6
Attack: 24 Damage: 9. Attack: 14 Damage: 10

Attack: 22 Damage: 7. Attack: 21 Damage: 8
As they assault you, you notice another larger creature back in the darkness, with a big axe but it promptly vanishes, and you no longer see it. You're about to step through the doorway and pull the pins from the door when two dragon born come bursting through it, the stone bar shattering into pieces and one of the doors comes crashing down narrowly missing you.
As the two dragon born smash through the door you all see a wall of inky blackness. Fianna, Tic/Toc, and Jahren, you can see a weak magical glow illuminating the darkness, but for the two dragon born you've smashed through into complete and utter darkness. You've also burst through into some sort of poisonous fog.
Jahren, Fianna, you can both see four large insectoid demons with pitchforks forming a wall just inside the room, stabbing and jabbing at Mirica, her shield held up before her as she tries to deflect their many blows, though cuts get through and you see her getting jabbed.
Mirica, Sebastion, and Chen : DC 11 CON save, 24 poison, damage, save for half.

Mirica, under assault by the demons begins casting a spell, releasing a powerful word of magical energy, but as the spell is released, you all see it's magical energy seem to coalesce in the air before her, only to be sucked towards one of the many books in the library. One of the chained up books seems to shake and fight against its chains for a moment as the magic of the spell gets sucked into it. She tries again, this time trying to summon forth a healing spirit, (16) but once again...the magic of the spell seems to get sucked out of her and into another book, which shudders against its chains as the spell gets absorbed by it. (both spells seem to have failed)
Mirica cursed that already forsaken place. "Antimagic field or magic eating books here - careful with the spells!" She hoped she yelled loud enough for those in the back room to hear.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Fianna's magic blasts out, but as the energy lances into the room on its way to hit the creature, they redirect and get pulled into a book instead. The book rattles and sucks the magic into it with a shudder and a clatter of chains.
Moving so fast he's like a blur, Toc rushes past the two dragon born and into the darkness next to Mirica, appearing next to Mirica like a flash.
He swings his blade and his staff at one of the creatures.
Attack: 32 Damage: 15 Attack: 28 Damage: 8
CON save vs poison : 16. He coughs and hacks as he leaps into the poison, "Aaahhh..." * hack hack hack *
One of the creatures stares towards the room with Jahren, Fianna, and Tic in it....its black eyes seem to grow into a black darkness, the Tic and Jahren finding themselves enveloped in pitch blackness. Fianna, your fey eyes can see through the blackness without trouble, but it's clear the magical darkness is hindering your friends. The books in the room seem to fail to absorb the energy.
Mirica and Toc can see one of the creatures look up, and opens its mouth, magical energy seeping from its maw as it releases magic. Seemingly unaffected by the books in the library as well, the room where Tic, Jahren, and Fianna are starts to fill with poisonous gas. Toc, seeing this attempts to counter the spell....quickly weaving a counter, but one of the chained books rattles in its spot and his counterspell is sucked into the book.
Tic, Fianna, and Jahren all feel poisonous gas surrounding them.
DC 11 CON save 28 or save for half Poison damage. (you take this damage at the start of your next turn).

One of the creatures continues trying to stab Mirica, while the other attempts to skewer Toc.
Mirica : Attack: 15 Damage: 8 Attack: 9 Damage: 8
Toc : Attack: 13 Damage: 10 Attack: 27 Damage: 10. Both stabs miss Toc, as he moves in a blur, dodging both attacks.
Fianna, you are the only one to witness a massive muscled, winged demon with two pointy horns appear in the room behind Tic the thing crouched in the room. His axe is swung sideways to avoid the ceiling and he swings it across hard. Attack: 27 Damage: 10. Tic gets hit, something white spraying onto the floor from the wound, but no blood. He doesn't seem to feel any pain, and isn't coughing from the poison, but is clearly hurt.

Although he fights off much of the effects, the poison stings Chen's eyes and burns his throat, bringing images of the green dragon back into mind. Pushing his way down the hall to aid Mirica, Chen fights the rage welling inside him as the memories of that battle surge into his mind. He briefly detects Mirica's light, but then as he senses the malevolent otherworldly presence just beyond, his self-control slips away as he lets out a roar like a bear, swinging his axe wildly at the thing in the darkness...
Move to Mirica's space. Bonus action: Rage, including Reckless Attack Melee Attack on D1: 30 (adv from Reckless to cancel disadv from blinded) Damage: 19 slashing Shove D1 (Athletics: 32 with adv from Rage). If pushed back, Move into space, otherwise Move back to original spot.

Jahren mutters an incantation, releasing his spell while focusing on the darkness around him. The blackness goes away, revealing the room once again, dark but for the dim light coming in through the door. Though now there is a massive demon just behind Tic, swinging a massive axe at him, and the air is filled with choking poison.
(Darkness in statue room is dispelled.)
Sebastion presses forward into the darkness, feeling for Mirica, but not finding her, instead finding another figure. His longsword ready to sweep down he hears Toc who has somehow slipped past him and is in the way, he steps forward into the darkness, and swings his sword blindly as Toc shouts, "No...left...wait...ug..." Regardless, his sword comes down onto something hard, and he feels a crunch of hard chitin shell and something sprays onto his face. But, he's forced to stumble backwards. A claw rakes out at him as he's pushed backwards. Attack: 10 Damage: 8
Meanwhile, Mirica side steps out of the way as Chen comes raging past her, slamming his axe into the bug creature and then slamming the creature backwards, as he rushes past her.

Both rooms were poisoned now, but at least in the "statues" room there was no magic eating book and Mirica could do at least something. She followed Jahren's call and let Chen take her spot (not so much "let" as tried not to get under his axe) and moved to the other room (if Toc is down - dragging him out as well)

Having by had her spell eaten by the books, and indeed them seemingly absorbing all spells by her party, Fianna decides to try something a bit more basic. Fianna reaches into her Bag of Holding and pulls out an oil flask, throwing it at the books.
Attack: 6 Damage: 0
((Assuming Dex bonus but no other modifiers forever the throw...))
((I further assuming throwing the lantern she’s carrying would be a second action so that’ll have to wait for next turn...))
Looking at the map (just now, sorry) I’m wondering - where are these books? Are they on western wall (as map lays if not actual west) between the two desks? Cause if we Fianna cannot see them or what is eating the magic? And if that’s the cause she’ll have to do something else entirely...
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The bookshelves line the north, east, and south walls. That block on the west wall is a fireplace (with no fire in it).
A flask of oil is thrown through the battle, flying to the far east wall and exploding against the chained books, sending oil splattering everywhere.
Mirica withdraws....one of the demons taking a swing at her as she does so.... Attack: 8 Damage: 10
She manages to get out of the crowded battle...emerging through a magical wall of darkness with her glowing hammer and seeing poisonous fog filling the statue room as well. She also spots a massive demon laying into Tic with an axe. She moves near the statue, and summons forth a wall of wind that wraps itself protectively around Jahren, Fianna and Tic, the demon caught in the wind as the room fills with a mighty howling sound that drowns out almost everything else. The poisonous cloud is sucked out of the protective wind wall like a vaccum and spread around the rest of the room.....Save : 23. The big demon seems to take the wicked buffeting wind like a champ.
Toc yells through the blasting wind and combat, "Tic, safety now." Tic, still looking rather emotionless despite the onslaught steps back from the big demon carefully....and then glancing around at the group says, "Sorry, I'm not much help here at the moment...." and vanishes. CON SAVE : 22 Toc meanwhile, withdraws back out of the room, in the howling wind, through the gap with a pop. His sword and staff in his hands, still moving like a blur and stands hacking for a moment inside the poison free pocket.
The large demon presses himself out of the wind wall into the pocket inside where Fianna, Toc, Jahren, and Mirica are standing. Toc has moved closest to him, so the creature attacks, first with an outstretched claw. Attack: 13 Damage: 10 then with his axe Attack: 10 Damage: 16. Toc, moving like a blur side steps both blows with ease. The demon growls at the small blurry dodging elf in front of him.
Meanwhile, in the other room, in utter darkness, the demons fight with the two blind dragonborn.

You attempt to send one creature that you can see within range to another plane of existence. The target must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or be banished.
If the target is native to the plane of existence you're on, you banish the target to a harmless demiplane. While there, the target is incapacitated. The target remains there until the spell ends, at which point the target reappears in the space it left or in the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied.
If the target is native to a different plane of existence than the one you're on, the target is banished with a faint popping noise, returning to its home plane. If the spell ends before 1 minute has passed, the target reappears in the space it left or in the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied. Otherwise, the target doesn't return.
