The mage succumbs to the frost, and breathes his last.
Marav, looking for a switch, notices something. Bolted to the northeast wall of the room is a rectangular metal plate with a 3-foot-long iron lever protruding from it. The lever is mounted 10 feet above the floor and is in the “up” position.
Matrix jerks suddenly to his feet with a sharp inhale and rotates to face the drow, punching at it's face (stunning strike) before firing from the hip into the elf's torso. pausing for a second, he spits blood "rude" before using a flurry of blows on it's face. patting ink's shoulder he shambles east 15 feet, "you got this buddy"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The drow takes a bullet to the abdomen, then takes a punch to the face. He reels for a moment, allowing Matrix to get some distance. He looks as if he's about to collapse.
The drow by the gate speaks a word, and suddenly, Ink, Matrix, and Ayaci are plunged into some sort of murky blackness, a magical darkness. The three of you cannot see anything. You hear a voice from several yards away, in the drow dialect of elvish, [Get some space! Hurry it up!]
You hear another drow's voice, nearby but moving away from you: [Cursed surfacers. Where is Draac?]
On the other side of the village, Crownsguard is standing off against two more drow warriors. The poisoned drow is also now wounded, having received a solid beating from Crownsguard. He seems to not be able to land any attacks, so he opts to try and assist his friend in attacks, instead. He maneuvers around Crownsguard on the roof and harries the construct.
In response to his friend, the drow that has just levitated onto the roof springs towards Crownsguard, and takes his best shot with his shortsword.
Attack: 18 Damage: 8 piercing, plus 14 poison Attack: 27 Damage: 8 piercing, plus 8 poison
Inside the cold elevator room, Marav can hear the elevator chains clanking, as the platform continues its ascent from the depths of Ironslag.
Ink, emerging from the darkness, spots the drow providing cover for the escaping drow warrior, he calls out in elvish, "Who is Draac, the leader of your party? Why are you here with these giants? Speak truthfully, as difficult as that might be, and we might let you go back to your home beneath the earth... Menzoberranzan? Or is it Ched Nasad?"
He steps up within melee range of the drow, but out of line of sight of the escaping drow, holding his weapons at the ready but not immediately attacking.
// Ink is holding his action, if the drow in front of him reaches for his weapons or raises his hand crossbow to shoot, he'll attack...

Matrix stumbles east out of the darkness, reloading his gun. getting to the north part of the gate he leans heavily against the wall and holds his action (Ink attacking or being attacked is the trigger)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The drow behind cover takes a glancing (but painful) blow from Ayaci's arrows before reaching for his sword. But he doesn't get there in time. Ink and Matrix, together, end the drow's life in a fraction of a second. The sphere of darkness behind Ayaci winks out of existence.
In that fraction of a second, the other drow makes his move. He pushes off from the village wall, sprints to the edge of the cliff, and jumps! The dark elf disappears into the misty fog below, arms flailing for balance. There are no more drow on this side of Ink's sleet storm.
On the other side of the village, Crownsguard is assailed by both of the drow, one of whom is still moving sluggishly, as if intoxicated. Marav sees this happening. The dead drow mage is still in the platinum dragon's clutches.
Attack vs Crownsguard: 26 Damage: 7 piercing plus 3 poison Attacking again: 21 Damage: 6 piercing plus 11 poison
Drunken Attack: 9 Damage: 5 piercing plus 11 poison And another likely miss...: 14 Damage: 6 piercing plus 12 poison
Ink, no longer seeing any enemies, drops concentration on the sleet storm. Ink immediately hears the sounds of battle coming from the other village. He starts running across the bridge, knowing he may not reach in time, he casts misty step and just makes it to the other side of the bridge. Seeing through the gate that the drow are ganging up on Crownsguard, Ink takes aim and lets go of a fire bolt at the closest drow to Ink!!
Matrix keeps leaning against the wall, breathing heavily as he sees Ink dart off, "nah, go i'll hold the bridge... 'okay! you sure are great'.... oh go on now!... 'sure thing Mr. Matrix sir!'.... kids these days" ready action pew pew if a baddie pops up in range.
This is a very short turn...the drow on the left missed with two natural 1s, but the drow on the right got a natural 20 on his first attack. 10 piercing damage, plus 11 poison damage. Then the next attack, made with advantage due to Crownsguard being prone & unconscious, also hits, resulting in a failed death saving throw!! Thankfully, Crownsguard's adamantine armor staves off the worst of the second hit, which would have been a critical hit otherwise.
Though the poisoned drow is ineffective and close to death, the unpoisoned one raises his blade...and strikes!
He fells Crownsguard with a dastardly strike. The dark elf then cries in triumph, and tries to stab at the downed construct. He looks as though he's hit something vital, but Crownsguard's adamantine is holding up well, all things considered.
// Crownsguard is now at 0 hit points, and has been stabbed once after falling unconscious. Players up! //
Ayaci turns her stone sight toward CG. She sees the deadly path the construct is on, and nudges the world around her toward a better one (+4 AC). The elf's blade turns on Crownsguard's armor, instead!

Marav shrugs off the attempt at entangling him. "Pitiful, you were doing so well to." he growls.
He lowers his head and lets go with frost again.

Marav looks at the lever, then grabs the dead drow in his claws and flies out.
He stops just above and in front of the water wheel, and roars as loudly as possible. A ear piercing roar. "Who's next!!"

Crownsguard deflects the blows with ease, “I would like to take a moment to comment on the subpar nature of your sword play.”
Crownsguard swings a blade toward the unpoisoned drow! Attack: 27 Damage: 11 magic slashing damage! And follow up! Attack: 17 Damage: 8 magic slashing damage!
Crownsguard pauses to look at the dragon, “Hello.”

Aya smiles at the appearance of the dragon, then sends off (hopefully) a final series of shots.

She then edges closer to the tiny dragon to soak up some good, good, healing magic.
