Xalkas opens his mouth to reply but no words come out. He looks a tad bit embarrassed. But begins scribbling furiously about what transpired and how me might be able to recreate that situation in the future.
Once again, another decides to test Flux's intuitions. Lewin insists on looking around the wreckage that clattered to the ground, even if outside of dissipated howling wind's the circle. The moment the druid turns his back and affirmatively states he's ready to begin the rescue operation, the sound of scraping and clanking metal could be heard behind him. It was almost as if weapons were animating to life behind him.
They did.
Four flying swords lash out!
Initiative time! (Surprise vs Lewin. Other's are not surprised.)
S1: 10 | S2: 3 | S3: 3 | S4: 17 Ebele: 10
Roll Call: Everyone roll initiatives! Roll Call: add your attack if you assume any actions before you won't change your action.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Flux Initiative: 12.
The moment Flux hears the unfamiliar sound of clanking blades a heavy escapes his lips as he turns about to face the threat. "Here we go again." He mutters around an already building wad of acidic spittle.

At the first indication of the sound of weapons being drawn, Ebele’s sensitive ears twitch, engaging her instincts. Sounds she’s trained to hear, to be prepared for, weren’t getting by her. The monk strafes over to position herself against Lewin’s back and releases one of her favourited attack combinations. She opens up with a jab to the core then an upper cut with her staff before rounding things up with a momentum propelled kick.
Initiative L (Surprised) | E | S2 | S1 | F | S4 | X | K | S3
Together as a pair, the duel flying swords originally intended to cross slash Lewin’s back but with Ebele’s interception their attacks now press on against the monk.

Flux cracks his neck, snorts, and then turns his head up to gurgle and really build up the acid before spitting just the most obnoxiously large spit ward at the weapons assailing Ebele. "Alright ya useless bits of scrap metal! Blades off me saviors 'fore I really make ya rust monster feed!" He demanded despite knowing or at least believing in the back of his mind that his words would fall on deaf ears. Still, that hadn't stopped him from puffing out his chest for good measure and turning his nose up at the weaponry!
Action: Cast (Cantrip)Acid Splash on 2 weapons next to Ebele. Dex Save(DC 16) or take 6 Acid Damage.

Ebele successfully bats around the pair of blades but not without being answered by two perfect cut backs against her. Two large slices down the length of her arms, splattering the cave area with her blood.
Flux's acid corrodes the first flying sword to finish it off after getting batted by Ebele's staff.
Kerric moves in to lash out at the hostile weapons. His silver blades far superior to those they face cuts the second sword cleanly in half while critically wounding the third.

Xalkas moves as far away from the nearest sword as he can hurling a fire bolt at it as he does so. (24 to hit/ 15 fire damage.) he then tries to hide behind something for cover.
More visibly affronted by being approached then he was for the attempted assault, Flux barks out, "Away wit'cha poor excuse for scap! Yer time is done, and not even the dwarf-blooded be welcoming ye in his presence for a proper fixin!"Then as if to further punctuate the point of its unworthiness, rather than go for the hammer at his hips, he calls out a word of power in aquan, condensing and transforming any moisture in the atmosphere into a small deluge of sacred water.
Action: Cast (Cantrip) Sacred Waters. Dex Save(DC 16) or take 9(9) radiant damage vs weapon attacking Flux.
Lewin finally regains his composure - he cannot control much but he can control how injured the people who fight alongside him are.
Ebele is pretty beat up. He gently touches her shoulder and casts cure wounds for 9hp (rolled in game roller). He whispers a quiet apology to her for creating this mess. He then casts shillelagh, his staff growing dark as night and misty.

Ebele inhales a freshened breath as Lewin's magic flows through her, stitching her wounds. The druid then prepares his staff should the final flying sword survive the next wave of attacks from his companions.

On Flux's queue, Ebele follows up the sacred deluge of water with some moist sounding thrusts of her staff and flick of her wrist, producing some satisfying thwaps and ***.
Slippery when wet. Jerking itself to the left, the sword expertly stays clear of Flux's spray causing Ebele's staff to slip wide of her first thwap. She follows up with equal precision strokes, however they're shy of finishing the job.

Lewin apologizes again to X. "That was not my preference, but I am glad you did not get buffeted any longer. Are you healed up enough?"
He looks around the wreckage outside of the circle and tries to find anything valuable. Perception: 14
Then he readies himself for the next step in the journey. "Rescue operation it is."
