Ink casts shield and the crossbow bolt bounces harmlessly off a blip of arcane energy.
Ink runs toward the wounded drow, going a round about way to avoid any reactive attacks from the other drow warrior. With short sword in one hand and scimitar in the other, Ink faces off against the wounded drow and stabs and slashes.

"on 3 fill 'em with holes?" after receiving an affirmative nod from Ayaci, Matrix takes a breath 12 and draws his pistol. "...3"
Matrix is faster, rounding the side of the cart first he baseball slides, clearing Ayaci's line of sight. Firing 1 shot at each of the Drow while Ayaci, firing over his head, does the same.

The southern drow goes to parry Ink's blade, but Ink is a little too fast. A slash, and the drow winces. Then, a bullet from Matrix pierces his exposed back, and Ayaci's arrow takes him down.
The northern drow, obviously outmatched, looks around wildly for his best option.
Marav teleports with Crownsguard up on top of the roof of the nearest building, out of the reach of the drow on the ground. (This is away from both the sleet storm and the rolling cloudkill. Let me know if this position is good for you)
Metal Quill Rex takes the brunt of Marav's explosion, and fades into the poisonous cloud until no longer corporeal.
The drow are also assaulted by the blast: CON 23, 15

The sturdy Yakfolk hut is holding up under a lot of weight! Or perhaps Marav isn't as heavy as he looks.
Crownsguard easily navigates the spine of the roof and lays into the unsuspecting drow. The dark elf is moving a bit sluggish, suggesting that he may have been hit with the same type of poison that these elves are using against you. A lasting gift from Marav's sprites. Crownsguard's first strike hits, his second is blocked, and the two lock blades.
The drow responds with attacks of his own, fighting through the sluggishness...
Attack: 9 Damage: 10 piercing plus 12 poison Attack: 16 Damage: 10 piercing plus 12 poison
While the drow from the bottom fires his crossbow at Crownsguard...
Attack: 13 Damage: 7, and on a hit, please make a DC 13 CON saving throw or be poisoned. Failing the save by 5 or more will knock you unconscious.
Marav can sense that the drow mage has escaped the sleet storm and fled north. The mage leaves Marav's blindsight radius while taking a northward path, towards the river.
On the west side, the two remaining drow engage!! The one who'd been hiding behind cover runs at Ink, while the other one (wounded) takes the opportunity to attack wildly at Matrix and Aya.
Attacking Ink: 19 Damage: 6 piercing plus 14 poison Attacking Ink: 16 Damage: 7 piercing plus 13 poison
Attack Matrix: 13 Damage: 9 piercing plus 7 poison Attack Ayaci: 12 Damage: 10 piercing plus 9 poison
Matrix stumbles from the blow and poison but stays standing, "ow" he responds by punching him in the stomach then attempts to shoot him in the head, punching him again should he survive.
Ayaci seeing Ink about to be hit activates a defensive rune, causing the blade to bounce away a hairs breath from bleeding the wizard. After In'ks misty step she runs around him (invoking an AoO) and fires at the fresh drow!

Opportunity attack vs. Ayaci (sorry)... attack: 9 Damage: 10 plus 13 poison
Marav sees the mage across the river, through the spokes of the rotating waterwheel. The drow wizard sneers at Marav, as the large dragon passes by.
Crownsguard is attacked by the poisoned drow, who fights on doggedly despite the fairy's toxin.
Attacking Crownsguard: 10 Damage: 8 plus 9 poison And Another Attack: 8 Damage: 9 plus 10 poison
With Crownsguard engaged alone with the drow on the rooftop, the drow warrior on the ground seizes the opportunity. He stows his crossbow and runs towards the yikaria hut. Once the warrior reaches the base of the hut, he effortlessly levitates to the roof.
The drow who is surrounded by Ink, Matrix, and Ayaci, lashes out at Ink...
Attacking Ink: 11 Damage: 8 plus 10 poison And another attack: 17 Damage: 5 plus 9 poison
...while his compatriot runs up behind Matrix to flank & stab him with his poisoned blade.
Attacking Matrix: 9 Damage: 6 plus 11 poison And another attack: 11 Damage: 9 plus 11 poison
From her vantage point, Ayaci can see a third drow warrior peeking out from cover 20 paces away, over by the village's main gate.
Crownsguard merely steps aside as the drow drunkenly flails at him, “It would appear that you are inebriated by poison. Your movements are exceptionally sluggish.”
Attack: 8 Damage: 10 magic slash.
Crownsguard steps in a hole, “Oh. That is ironic.”
Attack: 13 Damage: 6 magic slash.
Crownsguard waves his arms a bit, “Well, it seems that we have reached an impasse.”

Outside, you hear two loud, startling screams. In the last rays of the setting sun, two armored fire giants plummet from several hundred feet in the air! The giants flail and cry out for a moment as they fall, then they disappear past the edge of the cliff, and into the clouds below. A few seconds later, you hear two muted, echoing THUDS.
This event, which you were prepared for but the drow were not, provides you with a momentary advantage. The dark elves look to the skies in surprise at the nonsensical sight.
The drow outside are surprised this round, and therefore can't take any actions.
Inside the elevator room, the mage sneers once more at Marav. He points at Marav's clawed feet with his staff, and squirming, ebony tentacles manifest directly below. Hoping this will buy him some time, the drow mage moves around the edge of the elevator shaft, trying to put some distance between himself and the large dragon that is Marav.
Marav, please make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw or be restrained by the tentacles and take 13 bludgeoning damage. On a success, take half that damage.
Ink casts shield and the crossbow bolt bounces harmlessly off a blip of arcane energy.
Ink runs toward the wounded drow, going a round about way to avoid any reactive attacks from the other drow warrior. With short sword in one hand and scimitar in the other, Ink faces off against the wounded drow and stabs and slashes.

The bolt thuds right between the plates of Crownsguard’s armor, sticking into his fleshy wooden bits, “Ow.”

However, he then pulls it out.

Ink throws up a shield with a flick of his hand! The first attack is blocked, but the second bites hard.
He smiles weakly at drow in front of him and disappears with a misty step.
Ink reappears behind the wounded drow and stabs twice with his shortsword!
// Shortsword Attack 1: 14 Damage: 7
// Shortsword Attack 2: 28 Damage: 11
(If the drow falls, Ink will seek cover behind the cart.)
// Add one two both attacks for flanking... So fifteen and twenty-nine.

Marav takes off, flying toward where the mage disappeared to. He sees him in the elevator and roars loudly in frustration.

Ayaci blinks, irritated at her missed shot. She tightens her grip on the longbow and exhales sharply.

Aya opens the gate and quickly expands. She's hurting, and badly, but she summons the last of her reserves and fires away.

Ink parries the attacks, saying evenly, "I won't be another notch for you, but you'll be one of mine..."
Ink attacks feverishly...
// Main hand Attack 1: 23 Damage: 7
// Off-hand Attack: 21 Damage: 10
// Main hand Attack 2: 13 Damage: 9
If the enemy falls before Ink uses all three of his attacks, he'll maneuver forward and unload on the one that felled Matrix.
