Gark nods at the sword. "The Sunblade. It looks just like a hilt, but it can kill undead. It just needs someone to attune to it first."
As he speaks, the glass windows shatter and there’s a loud banging from the front door. Clawing their way inside The Tiefling Twister from every window and door is a swarm of vampire spawn. Gark grabs his sword and the locals jump up not to fight, but to flee. One of the men tries to make a break for it but the slimy undead vampire spawn devour him, taking his blood and his flesh.
Roll for Initiative.
This is going to be different than normal combat. The vampire spawn aren't in the tavern just yet - think of it like Shaun of the Dead where the zombies are trying to get into the Winchester.
On your turn, make a skill check you think appropriate in this situation of fighting off the invading vampire spawn. This can be boarding up the doors and windows, or something creative like a flaming cocktail. Roland, Jaina and Vivian will be "fighting" and not participate in your check, unless your skill check involves them somehow.
The target DC differs depending on how creative and logical your attempt is. If it's something that is creative, I'll let you roll with advantage.

Sybil closes her eyes for a moment as she focuses, "Grant me sight beyond these walls," She activates Ghostly Gaze to see through the walls of the Tiefling Twister to get better idea of situation, how many undead are there and where they are, even looking through the floor for possible escape route.

Delmalis moves to stand in the door in front of Meep to give him cover and bares his own lengthening fangs at the incoming spawn as he tries to intimidate and confuse them.

At 6th level, you gain the ability to unsettle or terrify those around you as an action, for your soul has been touched by the shadow of death. When you take this action, each creature within 30 feet of you that can see you must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of you until the end of your next turn. DC14
OOC: You do know this also targets allies as well. Meep is right behind you and the others are in close proximity.
Meep, you begin casting your spell. Depending on what Demalis does, you may or may not need to make a WIS saving throw.
Rotthran, you run and hide with holy water.
Twitch, you manage to distribute wood, stakes and holy water to everyone.
Sybil, you look outside and see about 20 vampire spawn surrounding the inn. You also see a path to the basement as well as a staircase to the second floor.

"That's scared off some of them, still leave quite a few," Sybil comments as she eyes the vampire spawn near the door speaking arcane words before shifting to common as she cast suggestion, "The enemy has hidden themselves among the other undead. Strike at them with all your might!"

The spawn Sybil targeted with their spell turns and starts to attack the other vampire spawn, causing confusion and a fight to break out among some of the other undead.
Twitch, you don't find any vampire spawn on the second floor.
For this round, I still need Meep, Rotthran and Demalis' actions
Meep is still casting, though beads of sweat are collecting on his nose, and his eyes dart around at the goings on. If it looks like he's hindering more than helping, he'd drop the ritual and help push furniture against doors and windows.
Meep, you continue to focus on casting the spell. Looking at everyone around you, no one seems to be struggling with the undead, not even your companions. You know your plan is working.
Twitch, you check the cellar and don't see any undead coming through.
Rotthran is holding their action.
What are Demalis and Sybil doing?

We'll say that several of the vampire spawn do flee and you have a feeling that your passenger is helping you.

Rotthran holds his action, in an event of a breach, he will throw the water at them.
