Marav moves out from being in the open. He sends the sprites after Ink and they fire again. He just keeps an eye out on the sky waiting to see giants drop.

DC 10 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 1 minute. If its saving throw result is 5 or lower, the poisoned target falls unconscious for the same duration, or until it takes damage or another creature takes an action to shake it awake.
The bonfire on the left side of the village suddenly blazes bright, and out of it steps a burly fire giant. The giant sports a long beard and a bare torso, and his dark skin practically glows like hot embers. Below his torso, he wears an apron made of some kind of woven metal, in addition to a tool belt with a hammer.
He speaks in giantish, his voice a roar matching the blaze of the bonfire.
<So you're the ones who have been causing such trouble. Ha ha ha! I'll have fun exterminating you!>
The bonfire on the right side of the village also flares up, doubling in height as the flames reach towards the twilight sky. The shirtless fire giant laughs, as an entire cadre of drow, armed and ready to fight, steps out of the second bonfire.
With the drow comes a shadowy figure, with horns and wicked looking claws.
The dark elf group immediately spreads out from the fire, taking positions and laying down some covering fire, as the shadowy figure makes for one of the nearest huts. It seems to meld into the walls of the hut before you can really register what's happening.
Two of the drow, who are wielding staffs, wave those staffs and disappear. (their positions right before they disappeared are marked in black, next to the bonfire on the map)
The rest of the drow take their time in lining up their targets, preparing to draw weapons when they have the idea of who is the best target to attack.
// Players up! The drow have all taken the dodge action, meaning that attacks against them are made with disadvantage. //
Ink hearing the booming voice makes a hasty escape out of the elevator room. Still in flight he takes a quick survey of the area, notes the drow and concentrates on the Ise Rune... A sleet storm forms over the drow, encircling all the ones that Ink can see but avoiding his compatriots!
The two sprites fire at the drow on the upper right. Attack: 22 Damage: 1 Attack: 25 Damage: 1
DC 10 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 1 minute. If its saving throw result is 5 or lower, the poisoned target falls unconscious for the same duration, or until it takes damage or another creature takes an action to shake it awake.
Marav casts Frostbite on the closest drow then retreats around the building. Damage: 6 The target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 2d6 cold damage, and it has disadvantage on the next weapon attack roll it makes before the end of its next turn.
Matrix will rocket across the distance to the giant in the blink of an eye, creating a small sonic boom as he goes by. Slowly drawing his giant slayer sword, "One of the two of us will regret this choice... personally I'm hoping it will be you"
Ayaci meanwhile backs the cart up, aims and fires a harpoon before urging Garyth to dash around the hut
Crownsguard smashes through where he thought the demon was, but it turns out to have been just a wall. Now the hut has a new door. The demon, meanwhile, is nowhere to be seen.
Marav and the Sprites focus their attacks and spell on the closest drow, but right as they do, Ink's sleet storm covers whatever the results of those attacks might be.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Several drow exit the sleet storm, some of whom are still crawling. Ink's spell has bought you some time, time that the drow are using to simply stand up and reorient themselves.
However, three of the drow have enough situational awareness to pull out their small crossbows and target the nearest targets...those dastardly fairies.
Two of the northmost drow fire their crossbows at the two sprites. One of them, the one the sprites had been attacking, seems to be moving slowly and painfully.
Attack: 17 Damage: 8
Attack: 18 Damage: 5
The drow on the west side of the sleet storm aims his hand crossbow at the nearest pixie (#4)...
Attack: 20 Damage: 5
Marav feels the power of flight leave him. Thankfully, he's already on the ground.
The sleet storm from Ink is blocking your field of vision (big blue circle in Roll20).
"You guys better all be ready to land!" Marav yells out, his voice becoming louder and more gravelly as he shifts into the form of a platinum dragon.
He addresses the closest Drow, "They didn't fully explain who you were facing... did they?"
He moves forward and bites at the elf.
Attack:26 Damage: 14 Cold Damage: 11
The remaining sprite screams out, "How dare you!" He then fires again.
Attack:18 Damage: 1 DC 10 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 1 minute. If its saving throw result is 5 or lower, the poisoned target falls unconscious for the same duration, or until it takes damage or another creature takes an action to shake it awake.

Hearing the giant fall Garyth rolls the cart back enough for Ayaci to get in close, leaping from the cart she unleashes a flurry of sword strikes firing off a cheeky hand crossbow bolt (using her action surge and bonus action)! Seeing the giant slip and fall Matrix smiles "looks like it's going to be you after all" before unleashing his own torrent of attacks, with a flurry of blows mixed in. rolling Ayaci then matrix
The fire giant reacts with a fiery sphere of protection, deflecting one of Ayaci's hits and two of Matrix's. But Ink sees the spellcasting potion and quickly counters it. Matrix and Ayaci land every single one of their attacks, striking with impunity.
But even then, several of their strikes make it through the arcane sphere, and a strange burning liquid streams from the giant's own skin, scorching both heroes, like tossing oil on a bonfire.
Matrix and Ayaci are both hit with several spurts of blood...or is it lava...? after each hit they land on the giant.
Ayaci takes a total of 33 fire damage.
Matrix takes a total of 34 fire damage
After the first couple of hits, the giant seems to be healing, but you quickly overpower whatever effect was going on. The prone giant has taken a severe beating from your attacks, and struggles to rise.
(Due the counterspell, Matrix and Ayaci hit with every attack. Matrix takes 9+13 additional fire damage, and Ayaci takes 10 additional fire damage)
The fire giant reacts with a fiery sphere of protection, deflecting one of Ayaci's hits and two of Matrix's.
Recognizing the form of the abjuration about to be cast by the fire giant Smith, Ink lets go of a counterspell attempting to negate the giant's defensive measure!

Crownsguard rises slowly and mechanically from the rubble, his ruby eye glinting in the shadow of the dwarven face mask, “Impersonating a chaotic aberration is a serious offense...”
Crownsguard rushes forward toward the nearest drow, plants a boot into its chest and drives the blade towards the creature, Attack: 15 Damage: 9 slashing damage. However, missing, he brings it around! Attack: 18 Damage: 11 slashing damage

If the mephit survives, Ink will stay engaged with it.
