Tic and Toc watch as a shadowy barely visible figure moves out of the wall of fire, downing the warrior in front of it...whispy black shadows pulling away from the warrior in front of Toc as the thing seems to suck its energy out....his scimitar and dagger both striking with deadly accuracy...though the creature stumbles at the last moment and it's dagger blow clangs into the back of the creatures breast plate without harm.
Toc continues swinging his blade at the thing in front of him, the silver shining blade flashing in the magical light. Attack: 15 Damage: 23 Attack: 23 Damage: 14 Attack: 27 Damage: 5
Russel, there isn't enough room in the hallway behind E6 to get out of the wall of fire, which was why E5 spent the last 3 rounds burning, so you need to make another Dex DC 18 save or take 28 damage...half on a save. (but of course you know it's none on a save, and half of what's shown there if you fail).
Mirica, you attack ferociously at the invisible thing. You seem about to hit when a magical shield deflects your blow.
Mirica, the thing takes three more strikes at you even though it has no business doing so at this time. Attack: 17 Damage: 7. Attack: 26 Damage: 8. Attack: 24 Damage: 6.
Chen, your first strike is true and dents the things helmet, sending it reeling, but it recovers enough to deflect your next blow.
The thing in front of you Chen strikes at you three more times, though it's clear it badly damaged and not hitting as hard as it was.
Meanwhile, the blue skinned warrior automaton in between Toc and Russel seems to focus, sending a ripple of energy out from it...horrible flashes of nightmarish images seem to ride the wave as it hits your mind. The wave strikes the entire party, but the feast you ate seems to still be inspiring you and the waves of fear just wash away as if nothing. (Russel only, DC 13 Wisdom Save or become Frightened)
As Toc and the black feathered creature attack the warrior inbetween them the elf warrior says, "Who the blazes are you now?"

Jezun focuses intently on E1, frustrated the invisible lion didn't follow him, though not visibly letting this show. His staff and fists and feet are a blur.

Russell unfortunately has no reply for the elven warrior whose mind is overcome with inexplicable terror. (Do I move now as a result of the frightened condition? I think I still have movement left?)

Jezun slams into the metal covered blue skinned automaton over and over....hearing cracks, and snaps, and seeing the thing begin to slow down....hearing grinding sounds as it moves as if its not quite working right anymore. Somehow though the thing is still up.
Fianna unleashes three more blasts at her target....a blast hits a shoulder, knocking it backwards, then hits a leg and it drops to one knee, then a shot to the neck and its head flops back unnaturally....and then the thing collapses in a pile leaking metallic silver blood.
The winged lion creature continues hacking away at Mirica, it's invisible blows lashing out over and over. Attack: 24 Damage: 11 Attack: 11 Damage: 17

I was getting more dangerous and Mirica stopped for a moment to add a little healing light to the floor: Mass Cure Wounds16 to everyone around in 30ft (from the group, of course)
Action Surge: another round of Primal Savagery Attack: 14 Damage: 19 + 5 radiant on invisible lion.
Mirica lets loose a flow of healing magic throughout the group....and then tries another swipe at this darned invisible thing....yet ANOTHER invisible force blocks her blow....
Chen meanwhile watches one of the things drop and to the remaining one unleashes his rage....the first blow hammers into its left shoulder, and its whole left side sorta slumps, damaged beyond repair.....and the next blow hits its mid section and the whole creature flies ten feet to smash into the wall above the bench and then crashes into the stone bench, breaking it in half. The destroyed body doesn't stir.
Toc continues slashing at the creature he's fighting, grunting as he strikes, "Geeeez....stubborn sunnava....." His blade blazes with green flame as he strikes the armored warrior. Attack: 30 Damage: 23. Attack: 22 Damage: 10 Attack: 26 Damage: 7. The first two strikes with his rapier cut into it's leg deeply, sending a splatter of silver liquid against the wall.....then his staff comes around and hits the creature in the shoulder and it just collapses into a pile in the hallway. He gives his blade a swirl sending a spray of metallic liquid across the floor.
(Russel, your frightened condition has ended...).
Toc continues facing towards the wall of fire....looking for the strange creature he'd seen striking the armored creature from behind.
Mirica, three more strikes come at you from the invisible creature.... Attack: 27 Damage: 16 Attack: 24 Damage: 18 Attack: 28 Damage: 26
Russel's turn.....Jezun and Fianna can also go. The only enemy remaining is the invisible flying teleporting lion (that is tearing Mirica to shreds).
Fianna will throw some Eldritch Blasts at the area roughly in front of Mirica - being very careful not to hit her! Having no visible targets, may as well just send random magic around... ((Would consider throwing some magic at the weird bird person but they seem obscured by fire...))
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Seeing the source of his fear crumble before him, Russell gives toc an appreciative nod followed by a wink. Russell didn’t particularly enjoy the images of the destruction of his people being played in his mind again.
Sensing the presence of the winged-lion creature, Russell moves forward five feet and then disappears into the wall. He then reappears about 5-10 feet in front of Fianna next to the winged beast.
With his scimitar and dagger in hand, Russell makes a quick slash with his scimitar and a quick thrust with the dagger. Trying to cripple one of the creatures wings.
Three blasts from Fianna fly across the space....the thing is big so even invisible she's able to hit it...two blasts striking it...then this shady Kenku emerges from the wall, it's scimitar striking out unerringly...a spray of bright red blood splashing across the floor. The winged lion creature promptly reappears, its dead body slumping to the ground. As its soul slips invisibly from its body, you see a shadowy grasping form draw the sparkling thing into visibility and towards the Kenku's waiting grasp, vanishing in a deft movement of his hands.
Everyone looks around...there don't seem to be any other enemies, aside perhaps from this Kenku who has so handily helped you take down the last creature.
There are bodies strewn about the space....all blue skinned...some human...some elven...their rubbery flesh split open, cut, and burned....leaking silver metallic blood across the floor. The roaring of magical fire from the other room goes silent as Tic and Toc come out of the hallway, Toc's blade still out and ready....a trickle of sweat makes its way down Toc's forehead. Mirica is left gasping from numerous horrific claws strikes...while Chen has numerous shallow wounds across his whole body.....leaking blood. Jezun is breathing a bit heavily, wounds from a few of the lion's blows. Fianna seems largely unharmed, her eyes alert...the crackling Fey magic still dancing along her fingers.
That's twice now that the elf-lich has summoned creatures to battle them (three times if you count the demons outside, and there doesn't seem to be any other culprit) and Chen has had enough! As soon as it is obvious to him that there are no more enemies in the room, he charges past the dead lion-creature and runs down the hallway beyond, roaring in anger as he goes, searching for the elf-lich so he can pound him out of existence.
(Chen probably would have had a swing at Russel first... but didn't see him!)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Russell is tempted to follow him while mimicking his roar of anger. He instead decides to follow quietly behind. Treading as lightly as he can. (Provided no one else stops him) The raging barbarian will at the very least be a nice distraction.
Jezun makes a sound that it both a "huh?" and a "wuh-oh", looks at the others with a shrug, and then he takes off quickly after Chen, looking for the odd Kenku helper-friend. He whispers, "Hi little dude! What are you doing here?"
(From my understanding of the environment, we are heading down a well lit hallway and you would have little trouble seeing Russel. After all if there’s nothing to hide behind or shadows to lurk in stealth isn’t very helpful.)
Russel turns his head to face Jezun and in a near perfect replication of Jezuns voice, says, “Hi. What are you doing here?”
(Insight check to determine its fake. Dc=min 2528)
Chen goes charging down the hallway to the east roaring with his Maul in his hands. The Kenku turns without much thought and rushes after him, making barely a sound, until he responds to Jezun in a mimicking voice. Jezun has also decided to rush after Chen....and the three run off.
Toc looks to Mirica and Fianna, "Well....we should probably follow him..." He and Tic quickly make their way after the other three.
Fianna, Mirica? Follow him...or...go "the other way" around and meet up with him....or...just wait for him to complete a circuit and reach. you?

Fianna is all “huh. So... that happened.” Shaking her head once, she draws her hand into her bag of holding and pulls out two Potions of Healing (2d4+2) and hands them to Mirica.
“I’ve plenty more still,” she offers. Meanwhile, Fi’Finella has turned invisible and crawled out of the backpack and if flying after the others so as to keep tabs on what they’re doing.
Fianna will pull out as many healing potions as Mirica needs (up to 12 more, then she’s out) but otherwise she’ll walk over to the bench that their host was sitting on and pick up the book he put down before he summoned his friends and disappeared...
