This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
There is little that catches the groups attention traveling down the road between morning and mid day as the creaking of the wagon moving over the gently rolling hills is most all the noise that is heard.
Right around midday, after cresting a rather large hill by comparison to the others you have passed previously. You see a small ring of stones about 30 ft off the road on your right. You get the sense that this a a frequently used spot by travelers to stop for lunch. Though it seems to not have been used in a few days at least. What would you all like to do?
Ilmryn eyes the resting spot, but thinks little of it. He looks to his companions. "Do any of you need a break? I'm not particularly in need myself, but there's no harm in stretching our legs a little."
"I'm still wonderful" Vrakqrin replied to Ilmryn, "but if you like to stop now is the time the next time is a long way to go" Vrakqrin scans the party, readying himself to work.

As you pass by the campsite you are quickly assaulted by three creatures who attempt to blood drain Dovarax, Einhard, and Esther. Trying to get some lunch of their own.

OOC: I am assuming the Blood Drain 12 vs 17 is an attack roll vs Einhard's AC.
Initiative: 22
Einhard's eyes open at the last instant as the demonic-looking mosquito dives him. He nimbly flexes out of the way while shouting "Whoa. By Deneirs quill these things are ugly." He quickly gains his feet and swings his staff in a double-handed strike then bends again and sweeps his leg at the bug in front of him. "Stay away from my friends' you demon bugs!"
Einhard's quarterstaff attack vs the "demon bug": 7 Damage: 6
Einhard'sBonus Action Unarmed Strike Attack vs the "demon bug": 13 Damage: 5
"Arrgh!" Dovrax shouts in pain, the insects claws dug deep into his arm. As he raises his arm anger starts to grow inside him, embers spark out of his nose. "Parasite! You dare lay your filthy hands on me?". He grabs the bug by the back of his head and casts shocking grasp
"That should teach you to a grab a member of the Daardendrian Clan!". As he sees that Esther had fallen to the same fate he shouts "Esther are you ok?".

During this time, Esther is inside the wagon curled up against the wall away from the others.
Initiative: 11
As she hears Einhard and Dovarax cry, she's cornered by the bugs. Esther instinctively raises her arms as they dive in to attack and yelps as she feels their teeth bite into her skin. She tries to wave them off, but she has little to no strength in her arms. The church didn't teach her any proper defence spells in these sorts of situations. She's too much in a panic to notice Dovarax's worry.

Taking cover in the wagon, near Esther, Ilmryn attempts to fight the creature off that is on her. Pulling out his short sword, Ilmryn swings at it, hoping to at least divert its attention away from her.
As Vrakqrin was getting ready for work, he sees 3 creatures scurries out of the trees and attacked his companions. Vrakqrin was so angry seeing Dovarax, Einhard, and Esther got hurt.
Vrakqrin pointed his hands at the one closest to Esther and he casted Eldritch Blast.
After the initial surprise of the giant ‘demon bugs’ attacking the group with Einhard barely rolling out of the way of the creature dive bombing him, he springs up and attempts to hit the creature with his staff, but unfortunately the staff slips out of his hands and lands just out of reach. Your leg sweep almost connects with the creature but it manages to fly up just in time to avoid the kick.
Vrakqrin’s eldritch blast goes just wide of the creature and goes clean through the canvass covering the wagon. As smoke starts to wisp up from the impact.
Dovarax is unable to grasp the creature as it’s moving just a little to quickly for him. And the charge from his shocking grasp dissipates with no effect.
Waiting for Esthers action. Then I’ll post for the creatures and resolve the remainder of round 1.

Blood Drain: 14 vs 17 Einhard
Damage: 4
Blood Drain: 15 vs 11 Esther
Damage: 7
Kildrack:
Attack: 17 against Stirge that attacked Esther. Damage: 10
Esthers swing with her quarterstaff connects with the demon bug and manages to dislodge the creature from herself.
The Stirge “demon bug” attached to Dovarax drains him off more blood 4 as he crumples to the ground and the Stirge attempts to fly away avoiding the rest of the party satisfied with its meal.
The Stirge engaged with Einhard attempts to fill its belly again, but underestimates the halfling monks quickness and misses its mark.
The Stirge that Esther just knocked off of herself goes at her again to finish its meal draining more blood from the half-elf as she collapses in a pile. The Stirge detaches from the lifeless body and begins flying away with a rather full belly.
Ilmryn’s sword strike misses the Stirges as Esther knocked it off of her. (Ilmryn, gets an attack of opportunity if you would like)
Kildrack rushes to the aid of the fallen Esther and cleaves the Stirge in two before it manages to get very far away. Thankfully missing it’s belly and avoids shower everyone with blood.
Round 2:
Einhard after avoiding the Stirges attack times his move flawlessly and manages to strike the one facing him with his fist and it falls to the ground unmoving.
Seeing Dovarax in need of aid and Kildrack having handily dealt with the one facing Esther runs over to the remaining enemy and delivers a swift roundhouse kick to its face as it also falls to the ground unmoving. (Combat complete! I’ll be adding xp to your sheets when I have time)
As Vrakqrin recovered, he rushes to his companions and asks, "are you all all right?" he scans every one of them then looked at the enemy. He took a rope from his bag and tied the enemy to a large tree, then he took away all it's weapons and break all of it's fingers and fangs.
*He knelt to the ground with his hands on his chest* he then said, "I'm really sorry guys for being so useless, I'll make it up to you."
Would you like to rest here for a while? After that maybe we could scout and check the grounds the other idiot has run off to? That way there will be no ambushes.
"By Deneirs shaft, anyone else feels that? As soon as we left the city it was like I was in a dark cave and finally stepped into the sunlight for the first time. Or like so many people were yelling all at once I could never hear a single voice till I left it. It is like a connection through everything even those crazy demon bugs that just tried to eat us." Einhard continues rambling on about a strange connection with everything while he helps with his unconscious companions.
OOC: I'll just post the Medicine checks for all of us. By my math, we should get 12 tries in 3 turns before someone fails enough to die. We only need 10 or higher twice to be good. Here goes:

Einhard is still meditating giving his companions a surprisingly peaceful journey so far.
Ilmryn eyes the resting spot, but thinks little of it. He looks to his companions. "Do any of you need a break? I'm not particularly in need myself, but there's no harm in stretching our legs a little."
