Arogna's initiative: 10

DM Note: Mephits are on row 7 and you are probably on row 14 or 15

Initiative: 11

Okay, player characters are going first, but only Bjorn and Quinfaren can do anything, then mephits, then all characters

"Crag cat's droppings. Looks like we stirred up a hornet's nest," Bjorn curses as he draws his bow and once again takes a shot at a mephit. He then moves to keep his distance from the creatures.

Action: Longbow Attack: 13 Damage:7 piercing
Move: Keep distance from mephits

Qinfaren quickly clues in that these mephits are just as mischievous as the last three and are not going to play nice.

He taps his quarter staff on the ground, focuses on the mistletoe, and imbues the stuff with an energy that seems to harden it.

He then charges forward, leveling his shield and swings at the closest of the mephits.

(Bonus action: Casts shillelagh  and Action: Attack: 25 Damage: 5 )

Bjorn fires his arrow and it strikes the mephit. Qinfaren also manages to hit another mephit.

In response, the mephits arrange themselves into a formation, and the release their cinder breath attack which covers all of you.

DM Note: Dex saving throw DC 10 or be blinded.

Arogna dex save 21

Qinfaren Dex Save: 17 

Shad is startled by the mephits. The orbs were just a distraction! He sees the little creatures inhale and tries to protect himself: 6

Seeing Bjorn and Qifaren attacking the mephits, and how these get into formation, Muharg readies himself to dodge whatever it is that comes from their wicked maws.

DEX save: 7

Seeing the mephit breath attack come their way, Bjorn attempts to dodge it.

Dex Save: 17

(OOC - believe that the party is back up)

Qinfaren waves the smoke away from his face and focuses in on the mephit he hit before and steps forward swinging his staff up and through as hard as he can.

(Attack: 21 Damage: 5 magical damage)

Most of the group have avoided the smoke breath attack, all except Shad who has become temporarily blinded.

Qinfaren's attack on the mephit strikes the creature, and leaves it with little remaining health.

Muharg covers his face with his forearm, shuting his etes and holding his breath untill the spray of ash is gone. He then spreads from the group to make it hard for the mephits to hit all the group at once and shouts to the others “Spread out!”

After that, he readies a javelin and throws it to the most damaged mephit.

Javelin attack: 11 for 8 piercing damage.

Dodging the cinders, Arogna runs around behind the formation of mephits, and swings her hammer at one that is not currently under attack.

Warhammer (two-handed): 9 to hit, 12 bludgeoning damage 

Seeing Shad suffer the after effects of the attack, Bjorn takes another shot at the mephits, before moving to assist his companion.

Action: Longbow Attack 11 Damage 4
Movement: Move closer to Shad to help him if possible

Shad claws at the ashy mud in his eyes. He hears Muharg and starts to stand, but panics and reaches out, hoping to find a safe direction by touch. Hearing Bjorn, he says, "Thank the Cat Lord! Point me in the direction of the dusty little hairballs!" He will attack with disadvantage by throwing a dagger: 6 for 4 then move with Bjorn if possible.

Muharg hurls his javelin but the mephits swoops down to avoid it. Meanwhile, Arogna manages to successfully attack from behind. Whilst Bjorn's and Shad's attacks miss.

Arogna swings her hammer again at the same creature, roaring at the mephits.

Warhammer (2-handed): 19 to hit, 11 damage

Bonus action: Rage

DM Note: I am going to puppet Qinfaren to keep things running.

Qinfaren swings his quarterstaff at the nearest mephit.

(Attack: 18 Damage: 9)

However, the mephit flies up out of the reach of the quaterstaff.

In retaliation the mephits swoop down at Arogna, Bjorn, Muharg and Shadow and begin to claw at them.

(Arogna - Attack: 5 Damage: 5
Bjorn - Attack: 12 Damage: 5
Muharg - Attack: 9 Damage: 6
Shadow - Attack: 13 Damage: 4)

Bjorn grits his teeth and hisses as the mephit's claws hit home. Now that the distance has closed, he drops his bow and brings his spear to bear stabbing at the closest mephit.

Action: Spear attack:22 Damage:9

Bjorn HP: 8/14
