The Gnome pulls a lever and steps on a peddle. The heveyheavy crossbow (cb1) that fired at Eli turns to your left apparently reloading while the seat shifts right so the Gnome is now facing the tunnel party. In short order the second heavy crossbow (cb2) fires 14 (9 damage) and again shifts left, reloading and the third fires 17 (6 damage). The Gnome seems to be trying to take notes while managing the levers and peddles.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Rinn runs up shouting, "No no no! Don't break the machine! That's so cool!" Turning to the gnome, "Please mister, we're just here to help take care of the thing changing shapes. We were looking for some of your friends, perhaps you could point us in the right direction? If we find the creature, we'll try draw him nearer to here so you can continue to make notes on your machine."
The Gnome, a female you can tell now, Ronn, nods enthusiastically as she pushes peddles swiveling the platform.
She doesn't appear to be stopping.
Are you taking an action?
Ikki, you now have Eli in front of you, Rinn in front of him nearly on top of the platform, and Blaire to Eli's left just enough room you could get around Eli to get into the room.
Being stuck in such a tight space, and seeing the others engaging the gnome and that the crossbow appears to be disabled, Ikki pauses and waits to see what happens next.

The Gnome shifts the platform knocking Rinn back into Eli, the fourth heavy crossbow (cb4) fires at Blaire (Attack 14 damage 2). The platform swivels around farther, the first crossbow (cb1) aiming at Rinn in front of Eli and firing (Attack 9 damage 10).
The bolt shatters against Blaire's shield. Rinn easily dodges the bolt fired at him which shatters on impact with Eli's shield. Blaire is cursing about likelihood of getting splinters and making Gnome brain jelly. She's definitely loud enough to be heard over the constant noise of the falls and the contraption.
Eli: Your up. The platform (and the Gnome) is 10 ft in front of you. Rinn is to your right, Blaire is to your left and Ikki is behind you.
The blast of light from Blaire's fist crashes into the Gnome hard from their off angles throwing her out of her seat onto the ground near the southwest corner and as Blaire yells, "We'll get it tied up and stabilized or Pog an the lot will want our heads." She starts towards the Gnome.
While she is rushing around the platform to your left to get to the downed asalient, you see her skin turns a vibrant shade of blue.
She stabilizes and ties up the Gnome, using its shirt and belt to do so and makes sure it doesn't have anything within its reach.
She pulls the female Gnome, judging by her binding, up against the wall, sitting up facing the room.
She then takes a few heaving breaths. You can tell by the string of nearly incomprehensible vulgarity spewing from her, she's noticed her skin.

Round 1:
The Gnome pulls a lever and steps on a peddle. The heveyheavy crossbow (cb1) that fired at Eli turns to your left apparently reloading while the seat shifts right so the Gnome is now facing the tunnel party. In short order the second heavy crossbow (cb2) fires 14 (9 damage) and again shifts left, reloading and the third fires 17 (6 damage). The Gnome seems to be trying to take notes while managing the levers and peddles.
Meta Notes: if a hit, on Eli (front of group in five foot wide tunnel. Eli, if you’re up, it's your turn.
Eli: Once again the bolts connect and shatter. That third bolt, you felt. [No damage] ... your turn
Eli will yell at the Gnome to "Stop"
He will then rush forward with his longsword and attack the crossbow hoping to sever it's string
attack: 17 damage: 10
Eli's attack splits the crossbow (cb3) that just fired. The Gnome looks wide eyed at Eli while continuing to take notes and push pedals.
Blaire pushes forward into the room to the right of Eli and casts guiding bolt against the machine 8 (15 damage).
Blaire is yelling, "Ya f**** s**** gods m***** STOP! WHAT'S D#### WRONG WITH YA!!!"
The flash of light streaking from Blaire's fist inexplicably misses the huge crossbow platform and the Gnome controlling it. Blaire is cursing loudly.
Meta Notes: Rinn you're up.
Rinn runs up shouting, "No no no! Don't break the machine! That's so cool!" Turning to the gnome, "Please mister, we're just here to help take care of the thing changing shapes. We were looking for some of your friends, perhaps you could point us in the right direction? If we find the creature, we'll try draw him nearer to here so you can continue to make notes on your machine."

Are you taking an action?
Ikki, you now have Eli in front of you, Rinn in front of him nearly on top of the platform, and Blaire to Eli's left just enough room you could get around Eli to get into the room.
(OOC - I thought my attempt to persuade the gnome to stop would be my action?)
OOC Yup, your right that would be Rinn's action; good call.
Wanted to clarify that because Rinn explicitly attempted to descalate with persuasion it was an action. Typically, talking is a free action.
Being stuck in such a tight space, and seeing the others engaging the gnome and that the crossbow appears to be disabled, Ikki pauses and waits to see what happens next.
No movement, action or bonus

Eli will move to within striking distance of another crossbow and take a swing at it's string with his longsword
attack: 19 damage: 4
Blaire glances at Eli and Rinn then casts guiding bolt against the Gnome (Attack 18 damage 9).
The blast of light from Blaire's fist crashes into the Gnome hard from their off angles throwing her out of her seat onto the ground near the southwest corner and as Blaire yells, "We'll get it tied up and stabilized or Pog an the lot will want our heads." She starts towards the Gnome.
