Merron stands firm and continues to try avenge the injuries to Tin. Darius parries the swing, and tries to riposte, but finds his blade glancing yet still off the Dragonborn's armor. Before he can fully recover from the mistimed maneuver, Tin gets him in the ankle, bringing the ex-seaman down again for the count. 

Bzeczumi takes flight, perhaps scared off by the intimidating word and presence of the showwoman. She takes a swing at him with her instrument, but can't quite land the hit before he's gone. In any event, finding easier prey in FireFeather, the aarakocra moves his magical mark to the warlock again and fires, taking her down once more.

(@Bzeczumi: Would not quite be able to reach K9 with only 40ft of flying, but can reach J9. Also, assuming you chose to not contest the intimidation from Lenalia, so currently suffering from the failed contest until the start of next turn)

Sumeiz ... (15).... breathing continues to grow more calmer...

Lenalia, seeing Darius fall, will once again call out "Don't give up yet, you can do it!" and cast healing word at him.  She'll then turn her attention to Merron, and give a lively rendition of "Blue Dragon Shoes" while adding her own words for flavor. She'll give the best performance she can, channeling the legendary King/Bard who penned the original.

"I said you can steal my money, (bam)

hurt my friends, (ba bam)

beat me black and blue till this battle ends, but it won't stop me,

cause I want a pair of blue dragon shoes!" 

Ah you can do anything, I still want some blue dragon shoes!"

She'll then move down to B3 to get ready to capture that flag. 

Free Action: performance vs Merron 16 Contest with performance or acrobatics

Action: vicious mockery on Merron. DC 13 Wisdom save or take 3 damage and have disadvantage on your next attack.

Bonus Action: healing word Heal Darius for 6 HP. 

Move: B3

Gasping as he came to again, Darius grit his teeth as he stood. "Metal mutt," he muttered as he again lashed out at Tin.

MOVE: Spend 15' of movement to stand to his feet
ACTION: Rapier Thrust toward Tin - Attack: 9, Piercing Damage: 12

Follow-up will depend on if Tin goes down...

Undeterred, the pirate continued attacking with his blades, trying to damage the construct enough to bring it to a standstill.

BONUS: Another Rapier Thrust toward Tin - Attack: 9, Piercing Damage: 7
REACTION: @DM -

Will attack the first opponent to generate an Opportunity Attack.
Rapier Thrust - Attack: 20, Piercing Damage: 6

 

Finished!

2 death save

Lenalia not only bring Darius back from the proverbial dead in a healing word, puts on quite the performance to undermine both Merron's will and confidence prior to retreating up the stairs and around the bend to position herself to capture the point.

The effect is...5 .... Loser loses their reaction until the start of next round(Rd 8).

Darius arises once more to do combat, but might have a concussion at this point, as neither one strike can pierce the hide of the tenacious construct.

Firefeather breathing starts to become more shallower.

(@Merron: Make a Wis Save(DC 13) or take 3 Psychic damage and have disadvantage on your next attack.)

(@Merron: Additionally, You may contest the Lenalia's Performance(16) with a Performance or Acrobatics of your own.)

Merron curses at the ringing in his hears, and decides to help his companion instead of attacking.

Tin attack against Darius: 24 to hit, 9 force damage

Bzeczumi flies the last bit of distance to Sumeiz(8N), and fishes out a potion to revive the paladin.

Merron cannot quite shake off Lenalia's words, but was not without his wits. For rather than attack, all his efforts put into keeping Darius on the backfoot long enough for Tin to make the downing bite once more.

Sumeiz awakens coughing and looking about frantically for a moment. After getting his bearings, with a snarl he rises, snatching up the fallen warhammer and bringing it down atop Firefeather and taking her out of the match. After which, he nods once to Bzeczumi before making his way over behind another wall from some small measure cover(9M). From there, the smoke of the nearby chimney turns red once more, giving team one the lead... for the moment.

Firefeather is almost immediately after has a floor briefly open up beneath her; dropping her down into the waiting presence of medical staff that see to her immediate revival. But with that, it's up to her team now to take the match home.

Lenalia will curse under her breath as she sees another billow of red smoke come up. She'll duck her head around the corner and dig deep into the wells of her resolve to shout "Keep fighting, indomitable Darius!" 

She'll then stare down Tin-tin and project a torrent of emotions at the construct, attempting to overwhelm it's senses. For good measure,  she'll also shout "Bad dragon! No bite!"

Bonus action: 7 healing word Darius

Action: mind sliver dc 13 Int 2 damage and 4 off next save

Free action: intimidate tin 16

The pirate didn't even gasp; he leapt to his feet almost as if he were feigning slumber, then returned to doggedly attack the construct.

MOVE: Spend 15' of movement getting to his feet
ACTION: Rapier Thrust toward Tin - Attack: 13, Piercing Damage: 8

Again, the follow-up post will depend on the roll results here...

"Fall, beast!" he roared in frustration as he continued lashing out at the companion.

BONUS: Second Rapier Thrust toward Tin - Attack: 18, Piercing Damage: 7
REACTION: @DM -

Will attack the first opponent to generate an Opportunity Attack.
Rapier Thrust - Attack: 12, Piercing Damage: 5

MOVE: To O-3, behind Merron

Finished!

Just imagine all the '5-6 downs' clout merron will get after this

If yall would ever miss, we might have some fun.  BTW are we supposed to look at your spoiler comment? Who is it for?

Lenalia digs deep into all but completely depleted reserves of magical strength to bring Darius back to consciousness, before lashing out both magical and verbally at the construct, hoping to soften it up. Regardless of outcomes, her holding the current position allows Team 2 to capture another point, keeping the match in a stalemate in at least one arena.

The effect is...10....7...Loser has disadvantage on the next attack against the winner until the start of the next round(Rd 9).

Darius arises again for what may be the last time. But, he is quick to make it count. Though the first attack glancing off the Defender's hide, the force is just enough to throw the creature off balance for the follow up to sink in. After which, Darius scrambles around to get to the opposite side of the Artificer himself.

After all that, Bzeczumi takes to the air and  threads the needle firing upon the Lenalia. Though whether the shot finds flesh or duplicate is for greater powers to decide.

(@Merron: First make an Int Save for Tin, as MS might affect it death save. Then if you wish, Tin can contest the Lenalia's Intimidation(15) with an Charisma(Intimidation) or Wisdom(Insight. Then, go ahead and roll a Death Save for Tin.)
