As the dim light swings around to fill the corridor and the south cavern, Ash hisses “Shit...” under her breath. Then quietly to the others she whispers, “They know we’re here!... They’ll be coming for us... Just hold and be ready for them! Watch the light and shadows for their approach”. And with that she gets ready to shoot at the first thing that comes round for them...
Action: Ash readies a ranged sling attack at the first enemy she sees.
"I'll get their attention, draw them in for you guys to put the hurt on!"
Korrik nimbly darts past Ess, pulling and whipping a dart at the first guy, before rolling to the far side of the chamber and pressing himself up as far east as he can get.
Attack: 18 Damage: 5
((Drawing their attention away from the other two. Also probably getting shot at. :D ))
If he gets shot:
Deflect Missiles: Reaction to reduce damage by : 10
If that would reduce it to 0, then he'll spend his last ki to throw it at the guy in the lead.
Attack: 17 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.
Order of operations wise, this would happen before he throws his dart.
Ash readies her sling and sends the warning to the others.
Korrik darts across... both of the men see him as he crosses. They yell out "THERE!" and they shoot their readied crossbow bolts.
Attack: 9 Damage: 4
Attack: 10 Damage: 2 <- (this shot has Korrik with half cover)
Let me know if this is right.
The deflect missiles takes out that first shot. Since it brings the damage to zero, Korrik grabs that crossbow bolt matrix style and throws it back at the lead guy's head, sticking in his cheek.
Then that second crossbow bolt comes in and hits Korrik pretty badly.
Then - Korrik throws his dart at the first guy. The dart hits and pierces the guys skull, and he drops.
((Oh, even better! Second guy should be pretty close to dropping then too. Just to confirm, Ben still hand concentration up on Enhance Ability, right? Korrik was banking on his 6 Temp HP buffer to make his move there somewhat less foolhardy.))
The hat skeleton then lobs two more of those acid vials that he pulls again from his ribcage towards Grax.
Attack: 8 Damage: 4
Attack: 12 Damage: 9
Grax's shield once again comes up clutch and blocks the acid. The vials smash against the shield.
Next Round: Man, Ess, Busren, Grax, Boss, Ash, Korrik, Hat Skeleton
The man pulls the dart out of his head, and runs forward and as he is doing this he returns his crossbow to his belt and unsheathes a scimitar with plans to swing it at the first person he sees. "AAARRGGGHHHH!!!" His target will be Korrik as he saw him hide to the east and is anticipating someone being there.
Ess did not have a readied attack, but Ash launches her sling the moment the guy comes into view.
Ash you can go ahead and make that roll, and then I will roll the guy's attack on Korrik if he lives.
((Yep, Ben is concentrating on enhance ability still. He hasn't cast anything else with concentration or taken damage to lose it. 6 temp hits points well used!))
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
((Held action coming... but also: Damn what a play from Korrik!! Deflecting back a readied crossbow shot, killing the guy, tanking the next shot with temp hit points, and then critting the one behind with his own shot!!))
Seeing Korrik throw himself out into harms way, Ash breathes, “Damnnnn!!...”, and is in awe, and inspired to dive in too.
But then she sees the man rush out into the light with a blade drawn... He doesn’t see her... Instinctively, she lets loose a bullet from her sling from the dark...
As the man starts to bring his sword up to slash at Korrik, he takes a sling bullet to the temple, and it puts him down, quick.
Ess sees this go down with wide eyes as he refocuses, takes a peek out and up into the passageway, sees the boss, and takes a shot with his longbow. He then retreats back behind the cavern wall. Attack: 22 Damage: 6
Willard Hanson starts to whistle one of his greatest hits as the boss looks back at him... WIS 19
Grax in this moment is still dealing with flying vials of acid coming his way. He rushes the hat skeleton, holding his sword with two hands. Attack: 6 Damage: 2
The hobgoblin stumbles and completely misses.
At this point, the boss takes his hands off his ears, looks at Willard, runs up beside him and says WILLARD! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!
Willard please make WIS save.
I will update the map after this finishes up. Assume the boss is beside Willard.
Hearing the commotion between the boss and Willard is enough to kick Ash into high gear. She uses her Feline Agility trait to double her speed and close the distance to the boss, pulling a dagger out and clouting him around the back of the head...
Bonus action: disengage and head as far back down the south corridor as possible (about half way?). She will let friendlies past if possible and if need be.
Korrikdashes back through the western chamber, keeping tight to the wall to not reveal himself, before crouching into his illusion, where he waits to spring out next turn.

((A bit early but I don't see the action changing even if the hat skeleton manages to drop Grax.))
"Right boss! South!"
He doesn't move and quietly whistles the worst song he knows to the boss, the dread song Mmm-bop.
((Second level dissonant whispers, DC 13 wisdom save. On a fail he must immediately use his reaction to run as far from Ben as he can.))
Psychic damage: 16
Ash readies her sling and sends the warning to the others.

*Correction. The crossbow bolt that is thrown back kills the guy.
Then Korrik is hit with the second bolt.
Then Korrik throws the dart at the second guy, and hits his head. He yells out but remains standing.
((Oh, even better! Second guy should be pretty close to dropping then too. Just to confirm, Ben still hand concentration up on Enhance Ability, right? Korrik was banking on his 6 Temp HP buffer to make his move there somewhat less foolhardy.))

.
The boss holds his ears and says "WILLARD!? NO! STOP! IT'S AWFUL!"
((he now knows something is up with Willard. The jig is up I'd say.)) (-8)

*the boss had to move one of his lights, I am sorry I forgot to mention that.
he has to recast next turn, as an FYI
Billard wisdom save: 14
Billard (probably?) looks over at the boss and shrugs saying,
"Nothing you can prove."
The boss has a very frustrated look on his face when he realizes his spell didn't work. "WILLARD! WHAT THE FORK! TELL ME, NOW!"
Ash is up, and then Korrik!
Map is updated.
Hearing the commotion between the boss and Willard is enough to kick Ash into high gear. She uses her Feline Agility trait to double her speed and close the distance to the boss, pulling a dagger out and clouting him around the back of the head...
Attack action: Attack: 18 Damage: 6 ...plus 9 sneak damage (all non-lethal).
Bonus action: disengage and head as far back down the south corridor as possible (about half way?). She will let friendlies past if possible and if need be.
