Taking a solid hit that just barely manages to get past his cover, Vigil is looking roughed up.
He takes a deep breath and moves out of the sight (or so he hopes from the quill-yeeting creature. He attempts to hide.
Stealth: 20
(Just need to confirm *where* you move to. Sliding "behind" Zack to J2 is a valid movement and would enable you to hide. ...Also, nice dirty 20.)

The quilled monster has ripples go along its flesh, and it turns its attention to Zack... It scoots its way out from the rubble to get a clear shot at Zack, and fires a quill before retreating back into cover!
Roll to Hit: 22 Roll Damage: 9
IF IT HITS, the spell the creature had cast erupts in a hail of quills! Dex Save 13 for Zack, Vigil, and Kalgren!
Damage: 10 Half damage if you beat the 13 save.

(After a moment of panic upon seeing the damage that the Hail would do... I'm so happy that it DOESN'T hit. God bless a 16 AC)

(You don’t take damage. The hail only happens if the quill had hit, which it apparently didn’t. Which is good considering I would have been downed, failure or success.)
(yep, quill didn't hit, so no save is needed. sigh that was terrifying, not gonna lie. But hey, this is also a REALLY good test case for my irl game using these things too.)

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Zack runs down to the stone at J7 and scrambles up on top to get a better view, then fires a fire bolt at the quilled creature (QU1) before hoping back down between the two stones (I7).

The manipulated dice comment is because I first added +6 to the damage roll instead of the correct +3 Which it does not seem to want to change?
(It's fine, it didn't hit anyway.)
The next creature sees that everyone seems to be in something of a stalemate. The creatures chitter for a moment... And the first one backs off completely, fleeing between the rocks to one of the tunnels. (CR 1 has left the battlefield.)

QU1 hisses itself and also flees out the tunnel that it is right next to. As it exits the area, the remaining creature's body shudders and spasms, and the quills retract into its body, returning to the smooth, if shiny and disgusting looking, armor that it normally carries... And it now has a bolt sticking out of what could be called its head.

The creature takes a fire bolt to the face and screeches. It then tries to move away in its movement...
But it fails to Disengage so, Oriander decides to try and grab the monster by the tail and hold it in place!
(DM argument: " To make the opportunity attack, you use your reaction to make one melee attack against the provoking creature. The attack occurs right before the creature leaves your reach." and grapples are considered "special melee attacks," ergo the precedent is now set, you may Grapple instead of attack with your OA)
And Oriander does manage to grab the creature by the tail, holding it in place! "You're not going anywhere."

With Oriander keeping the creature in place, it might make for a good opportunity to study the creature up close. But to that end they needed to kill, or at least incapacite, it first so Kalgren carefully lined up another attack as not to hit their goliath guide. He just prayed it would be enough to down the creature.

Fire Bolt Attack: 15 Damage: 1
The quilled one gets hit by the fire bolt and screeches loudly as the fire sears down its side.
The second creature decides to reach through the stone to try and grab Oriander!
Creature: 17
Oriander: 20
If it succeeds, it will drag Oriander away...
But it failed, and Oriander, in response, grapples it back!
Oriander: 4
Creature: 10
If *he* is successful, he will drag the creature out into the open!
Neither is successful in this wrestling contest!

Vigil moves south towards a tunnel entrance (J6) and will release a bolt from his handcrossbow.
Attack: 16 Damage: 3
He will then call out to the rest of the party.
''One of them is gone. We need to move before it brings more back.''
QU1 hisses itself and also flees out the tunnel that it is right next to. As it exits the area, the remaining creature's body shudders and spasms, and the quills retract into its body, returning to the smooth, if shiny and disgusting looking, armor that it normally carries...

Zack repositions himself for a better vantage point to fire off a fire bolt.

Vigil looks around for the other creatures. Noticing that the one Oriander is restraining is the last one, he fires another bolt in its direction.
