Mirica practically flew from the saddle at the first sound of the baby crying. She did not speak elven but did not need to in this case. Fianna's sudden caution gave a bit of a pause, but all she did was slowing down a bit and watching more attentively, but moving forward nevertheless - wild magic could be around here too, affecting sounds in all kind of ways.
With a sigh, Fianna dismounts and runs after Mirica. "Wait... Something is off..." Plus all babies are evil, Fianna thinks to herself. She doesn't really mean it but she never has once been comfortable around one. Well, unless it was covered in fur and has a tail.
Jezun grins as Fianna walks across the water, and then, in a flash, darts off his horse, feet barely making ripples across thee top of the water running 50 feet upriver and 50 feet back onto his horse. He grins again, and continues across.
As the group enters the town, he would circle around the eastern side of the tree, looking at the source of the crying, but also looking above and around for other threats.

Mirica and Fianna advance on the house with the crying, with Jezun not too far behind. Sebastion scans the area, his hand on the hilt of his blade, while Tic sits with the horses, scanning the area. Toc and Jahren are a bit further behind cautiously scanning the ruins. Toc crouches near a body and examines it. "This body has the same blotches and pustules we saw on the farmer and his son....and..." he flips over a piece of burnt board, "and this isn't an elven body part...it looks furry..."
Mirica and Fianna step through a collapsed wall and look into the darkness of the burnt out home. With the shadows and burnt black walls it takes a moment for their eyes to adjust. A creature stands there, with four hooves, but looking more like a distorted dog. From it's mouth is coming the mewling sounds that mimic a babies crying. Then it's replaced with a snarl as it lunges at Mirica.
The others hear the sudden snarl and glance towards the burnt out home, but the snarl is echoed around the ruins as creatures emerge from their hiding spots amidst the ruins. They are not goblins, they appear to be gnolls...but they are warped, with strange lumps and seemingly partially melted features, and their eyes are crazed.

"We didn't come here for you," Fianna calls out to the creatures trying to sounds convincing and authoritative. "Not today. We want those that..."
"Awww screw it," Fianna says, interrupting herself when she sees Mirica attacked. "Soinneáin draíochta!" she calls out instead and points to the creature that attacked her friend, bringing three green, crackling bolts of energy to bear upon the thing.
First Eldritch Blast Attack: 32 Damage: 10

"Probably didn't understand what I was saying anyway..."
FinFin finds a high branch, well above the battle, from which to hiss in agreement and to watch down on the battle and allow Fianna a Pseudodragon's Eye View of the scene.

Deep down she did expected something like this, but it was no less sad. Mirica did not even bother with her weapon - her eyes flashed with green like those of animals, claws extended - and she slammed the creature with her hand more resembling a paw now:
BA - Shifting ( advantage on Wisdom checks, and no creature within 30 feet of you can make an attack roll with advantage against you )

Jezun darts east in a blur, his staff whirling around as he closes with the monstrosity in the other house (L2), lightning flashing on hits, and his feet lancing out impossibly fast with a jump spinning hook kick and an axe kick.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
FinFin swoops up into the trees, glancing down at the motion around them as the twisted gnolls and strange hoofed creatures emerge to attack the group.
Two blasts of magic rip over Mirica's shoulder from Fianna as Mirica closes, her claw sweeping across the creature that howls in pain from the blows, but is still alive.
Meanwhile, Jezun rushes across the open ground in a blur, his staff twirling as blow after blurry blow smash into the creature caught unaware by his quickness. His final blow with his foot kicks the thing in its head the creature barks and stumbles about confused for a moment...1 ... and then explodes in a burst of body parts and green acidic goo. (DC 15 Dex save. 9 save for half, though your evasion is effective.)
Sebastion strides forward, glancing around at the foes coming out of the wood work and looks to his left, hurling two javelins at L4.
Attack: 13 Damage: 8. Attack: 17 Damage: 10
Toc turns to his left, and facing the creatures there slams his staff into the ground at his feet. Magic thunders and the air around them fills with frigid balls of ice that slam down into them, crashing across the area leaving chunks of ice littering the ground. L3 : 14 G5: 10 G10: 10 : 10 + 17 damage. The two gnolls get crushed by the ice and then the cold makes them both drop. The hooved creature looks injured, and angry.
Tic, from the horses, sends a blast of fire tearing across the space to hit the same hoofed creature : Attack: 18 Damage: 21. It blasts the creature, already partially frozen, now scorching it with heat.
Jahren quickly assesses the situation and looks for the largest cluster of disformed creatures threatening his friends. The bard confidently strides towards them, pulling out his fey-enchanted instrument along the way. With a word of Sylvan and a quick strum of the strings a twisting pattern of colors erupts in his intended target area, no doubt halting some of his targets in their tracks.

Three of the creatures are sent into a stupor by a sudden explosion of mesmerizing magic from Jahren.
The hooved creature in front of Mirica, though badly injured, charges at her, snarling in pain.It tries to bite her ... Attack: 19 Damage: 5 ...and then kicks at her with its hooves Attack: 11 Damage: 9
The one that Tic and Toc blasted charges Toc, snarling, covered in frost and charred fur, leaping across the icy ground and then attacking him with a bite ... Attack: 14 Damage: 12 ...and then kicks at him with its hooves Attack: 21 Damage: 9
Meanwhile, three gnolls take an intimate interest in Fianna. Two charge up to her, stabbing at her with spears : Attack: 16 Damage: 9. Attack: 24 Damage: 7. Attack: 18 Damage: 6. Attack: 21 Damage: 5
While another fires arrows at her: Attack: 14 Damage: 7. Attack: 21 Damage: 9.. (if either hits your speed is reduced by 10 for one turn)
Three gnolls also take an interest in Jezun. Two charge up to him, stabbing at him with spears : Attack: 24 Damage: 9. Attack: 17 Damage: 5. Attack: 24 Damage: 12. Attack: 19 Damage: 3
While another fires arrows at him: Attack: 15 Damage: 3. Attack: 12 Damage: 3.. (if either hits your speed is reduced by 10 for one turn)
The group hears more creatures approaching from other parts of the ruined village, rushing towards the battle. (but for now, no more appear on the map).
Meanwhile, three gnolls take an intimate interest in Fianna.
((Hey now! She's open minded but not THAT open minded!))
They're like rats, swarming all over the place! Fianna thinks even as she's forced to dodge and weave with mixed results. The spears were bad enough but the arrow really seems to have slowed her down.
Fianna steps forward and around the creature in front of her ((G2 I believe)) and turns around once she is behind it and shouts "Cón Fuar!" Power words spoken, Fianna lifts her Staff of Power, turns it sideways, then flicks the tip towards the creature. A Cone of Cold erupts from the staff and shoots out sixty feet. ((I believe by sliding behind the creature then turning around would allow G1, G2 and G6? all to be caught in the cone... 34 Cold Damage, half on a successful Constitution save vs DC 20.))

Jezun dex save: 21 (evasion for half, 7 damage)
One spear gets through (6 damage) and he uses his reaction to catch the arrow, to reduce the damage by 20, and he'll use a Ki point to spin around in a turn and throw it back at the archer (attack: 30, unsure what the damage would be, feel free to roll, might be +2 or might be +7)
On his turn, he'll begin his assault on G7 with his staff, which is taking a break from being anything other than a perfectly good magical staff.
Fianna steps around, her staff releasing a blast of icy magic into the air before her, the cool forest filling with a spray of achingly cold white energy. Two of the gnolls take the blast, struggling to stand, but having sidestepped the worst of it, but one of them is hit straight on and covered in hoar frost, dropping to the ground with a thud, his left arm snapping clean off, frozen solid.
Toc looks to the creature battling him, his rapier whisking from his sheath, as he attacks.
The creature in front of him goes does as the rapier tears across its body twice. 2. The body crunches to the ground, but does not explode.
Meanwhile, Jezun is like a blur, his staff and feet swings around smashing into the gnoll warriors. Both near him goes down, broken bones and smashed faces. 21
Jezun, both of the gnoll bodies explode into a goo around you. (DC 15 Dex save. 13 save for half) and (DC 15 Dex save. 10 save for half)
Sebastion looks at the dazed and confused creatures and decides they're not worth the Javelins, and looks around for the next wave, his sword hissing from its sheath.

Mirica leaps off of the horse, followed by Fianna, and heads across the clearing towards the crying.
