The fire giant curses at Matrix and Ayaci, <This is not over...>
He rises, backs up...and then vanishes in a gout of flame!
Those of you who can see the village walls see many of the drow levitate up to where they are standing on the wall. They have their crossbows drawn, and are looking for targets. Likewise, another of the drow (one with a staff) rises into the air, seemingly under the effects of the fly spell (or a similar effect at least). This drow fires a powerful lightning bolt at Ink!
Ink, please make a DC 14 Dexterity Saving Throw. Take 31 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one
Two of the drow raise their crossbows and fire at the faeries near them...
Attacking the Sprite: 14 Damage: 5
Attacking the Pixie: 11 Damage: 7
The west-most drow speaks a word, and an eerie, violet light briefly surrounds Ink and the nearby pixie. (saves in Discord)
A similar operation is performed on Marav, Crownsguard, and Quill Metal Rex. Each of them are briefly bathed in an otherworldly, violet light, but they can't see the drow who did it to them. (saves in Discord)
The shadow demon reappears! It joins the nearby drow, and both attempt to tear into Crownsguard. Thankfully, the faerie fire did not take hold of Crownsguard.
Attack: 25 Damage: 7 piercing plus Unable to parse dice roll. poison
Attack: 11 Damage: 10 piercing plus Unable to parse dice roll. poison
Attack: 22 Damage: 19 psychic
The shadow demon then attempts to blend once more into the shadows...25 vs Perception. (it succeeds at hiding if the roll is higher than your Passive Perception score. You may roll a Perception check as an action if you wish to try and find it when it is hiding)
// Players up! Some of the drow are repositioning, so they haven't attacked this round. //
(Extra poison damage against Crownsguard, if that second attack was a hit... 7 poison damage)
Likewise, another of the drow (one with a staff) rises into the air, seemingly under the effects of the fly spell (or a similar effect at least). This drow fires a powerful lightning bolt at Ink!

The west-most drow speaks a word, and an eerie, violet light briefly surrounds Ink and the nearby pixie. (saves in Discord)
Ink sees the lightning bolt coming... // DEX Save [roll]1d20+4/roll] //... and manages to avoid the worst of it.
Ink tries to maintain concentration on the sleet storm... // CON Save 11 //... and does so - barely.
Ink focuses his attention on the flying drow, the source of his most recent pain, and spins arcane energy at the mage. He casts dispel magic targeting the mage's fly spell.
A sheath of arcane energy surrounds the drow mage and fades after a quick pulse. Ink calls out, "Enjoy your travels down!"
Ink then lowers himself off the wall on the village side. He calls out, "Friend pixie - deliver the potion to Matrix!"
// DEX Save was entered incorrectly, so entering here to avoid error message.... 14
The drow mage, unable to even respond to Ink's spell, suddenly loses his ability to fly over a sheet 500-foot drop, and plummets into the mists. To his credit, he doesn't scream.
Ayaci strikes the drow with arrows that pierce his armor. He staggers forward, and the other drow with him quickly advances across the bridge. They both dash to take cover from Ayaci's powerful attacks (they are now currently both behind total cover from Ayaci, behind the walls on the outside of the village).
Another drow advances halfway across the bridge.
On the east side, the shadowy demon moves to flank Crownsguard. Both the drow and the demon continue their assault on the paladin!
Attack: 13 Damage: 9 piercing plus 14 poison Attack: 26 Damage: 6 piercing plus 11 poison
Shadow Demon Attack: 9 Damage: 11 psychic
The drow that killed the sprites leans out from behind cover and shoots his crossbow at Marav...
Attack: 11 Damage: 8, and on a hit Marav must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned. (Failing the saving throw by 5 or more will knock you unconscious)
(That doesn't happen, I forgot about Sleet Storm!)
A voice comes from out of nowhere, shouting an incantation, and a brilliant lightning bolt flashes out to strike Marav and Crownsguard!
Both Marav and Crownsguard please make a DC 14 Dexterity Saving Throw. On a failed save, take 24 lightning damage, or take half damage on a success.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Oh! Dex Save: 6
Crownsguard dodges the first blow from the demon. However, as he is dodging the second, the bolt of lightning courses through Crownsguard, leaving him open to the demon’s second blow. However, as the demon attempts to capitalize again, Crownsguard’s eyes focus and block it.
Crownsguard takes a step forward, vocal range distorted from lightning, “ExEcuTinG... MaSsIve DeSolaTion...”
The first swing carves through the demon’s incorporeal body! The cut seems to disintegrate the creature from the inside out as light spreads through its shadow. With a final screech, the creature is consumed!
Crownsguard then rushes to slash the mage across the chest!
Ink steps out from behind the wall and sees the drow warrior crossing the bridge. Ink casts a fire bolt at the approaching drow warrior! He then steps behind the wall to regain cover.
// Spell Attack: 12 Damage: 17
While behind the wall, Ink takes a breath catching a second wind!
A tiny potion of healing drips into Matrix's open mouth, seemingly by itself.
Matrix regains 8 + 5 hit points. He is conscious and prone. He sees that the big flaming giant is gone, and that drow are advancing across the bridge towards his position. Ayaci and Ink are nearby, defending to the best of their ability.
Matrix does a quick spin flip kick land on his feet maneuver and looks about himself "thanks for that my sneaky comrade." he then picks up Ayaci's rapier and throws it Will Turner style into the cart next to her before grabbing her crossbow and running behind the cart himself "dropped something little sister. INK! bonfire teleports them, put it out!"
Ink doesn't hear any immediate confirmation from the pixies, but he knows that they were nearby only seconds ago. It's likely they heard him, and are getting into position.
The drow on the west side push forward. The wounded one shoots his crossbow at Garyth the goat in an attempt to immobilize the cart. His partner rounds the corner and takes a crossbow shot at Ink! On a hit from these attacks, the target must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the target is also unconscious while poisoned.
Attacking Garyth: 25 Damage: 5 piercing
Attacking Ink: 24 Damage: 7 piercing
The eastside drow respond to the changing situation and lay into Marav. One of them attacks with shortsword, while another pops up from the rooftop behind Marav and shoots his crossbow at the dragonshape!
Crossbow for Marav: 13 Damage: 9 piercing. Same as earlier, on a hit, please make a DC 13 CON saving throw or be poisoned. Failing by 5 or more will knock you unconscious.
Shortsword Attack: 12 Damage: 5 piercing and 8 poison Shortsword Attack: 22 Damage: 9 piercing, and 9 poison
The drow wizard desperately thrusts both hands forward and utters a foul incantation. Instantly, a thick fog of yellow-green spirals out from a point just past Crownsguard, and envelops him, Marav, and Metal Quill Rex.
Crownsguard, Marav, and MQR: when starting your turn in this cloud, please make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw. You take 21 poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Additionally, the cloud is heavily obscured, meaning that you are effectively blinded while in its area.
The dark elf mage then moves away, directly into the sleet storm (though you can't perceive this by means of vision).
The drow dodges, mostly in reflex. Marav's teeth barely graze the blackened leather, and he can see the surprise in the elf's eyes.
