The smoke monsters circle around Aldrik. Just as they go to strike, Lyss’s arrow flies into the one previously hit by Aimee. The smoke looks incredibly faint now.
Aldrik shouts, "Now lets try spinning!" and swings his platform so that he rotates around to dodge the attacks, keeping his dagger in one hand. Kerri is surely annoyed at how reckless this is, but he looks like he's having a good time. He directs ZJ to go for the most injured one first, then follows up with his own attack.
ZJ Attack (injured one first): Attack: 11 Damage: 9
Aldrik Attack (reckless to counter disadvantage, same target if ZJ doesn't kill it): Attack: 11 Damage: 5
Zauberjager swings excitedly at the smoke, but overly signals it’s swing. As the smoke mephit dodges out of the way, it flies straight into Aldrik’s blade. Aldrik feels a release of air almost like popping a balloon. Before he knows it, he is completely surrounded by smoke, struggling to see. (5ft radius of smoke, heavily obscured.)
The rest of you can no longer see Aldrik or the smoke mephit on the other side of him. (Kerri and Aldrik are up)
Edvord's rapier clatters to the ground and he draws a dagger from his belt. The wizard attempts to find a position where he can throw the dagger at an imp no more than 20 feet away. If that is not possible he will hold his attack action until an enemy enters 20 feet of range.
As you all struggle to see through the cloud of smoke, Aldrik can sense this creature stalking him, ready to strike.
(Anyone who wants to try to guess the location and attack can roll a D20. 1-5 hit Aldrik, 6-15 hit nothing, 16-20 hit the monster. Aldrik will have a better chance, as he can feel/hear it moving around him so 1-10 miss, 11-20 hit. attacks will still be at disadvantage.)
(So, so smooth) (Kerri’s help will negate disadvantage and it’s next to Aldi so you can get sneak attack too and it won’t apply to Aldrik if you hit him)
A spluttering whispy cough comes from the space where Aimee blasted. (Cico and Lyss won’t have to roll to find the space, so just attacks with disadvantage - or not in Lyss’s case)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Aldrik tries to swing his platform enough to clear out the smoke somewhat, and if he sees an opportunity will make the next jump (he won't jump blind). If he can then grab the sword and make it back to the others he will do so.

A worried Edvord looks over at Lyss, "Still using that sling I lent you yesterday?"

Kerri squits through the smoke, biting back a desire to say she was right. "Alright Lyss it's time to learn how to shoot things blind," she says.

Aimee yells,
"I see it!"
Luck check: 2
She shoots on the wisp of smoke that's definitely a mephit.

((OH, the disadvantage: 24))

Cico sits down, still holding the rope but bracing his legs against the wall next to the doorway, watching the group attack wisps of smoke.
The spluttering form flees into the pit below, hiding amongst the smoke. 21
Aldrik, Eddie, Kerri are up again.
