@Sardis
1. we already established creatures are of type monstrosity and your PCs know that.
2. There are no rules for how much you can manage to say but I suggest to use common sense for combat round in DnD is 6 seconds. Your PC casting spell with verbal component ... for example I chose Bajaz to only say don't kill not because he is rude to not explain his reasons and not because he think you have to obey his comands. But because he have no time to say more.
3. Please check you spell range

As for speech -it is up to you how you prefer to role-play. I only suggest you try to imagine you are in a combat stress not at your PC keyboard :)

UPDATE: typos fixed. Removed info no more actual as player post is being reworked already

Forest encounter

As the pair of creatures approached, Jerinvar's senses sharpened, and his ranger instincts took hold. In his eyes, these beings were nothing short of "monstrosities," a classification he had long ago designated as his mortal enemies. The weight of his past experiences and beliefs clouded his judgment, causing him to dismiss Bajaz's plea to spare their lives. In his mind, they were undeserving of mercy.

Drawing upon the connection he shared with Hadar, his Otherworldly Patron, Jerinvar tapped into a wellspring of dark energy. Two beams of Eldritch power erupted from his outstretched hands as he uttered Hadar's name, both precisely aimed at the nearest feline. The unworldly energy surged forth, fueled by a mix of determination and the echoes of his past encounters with similar creatures.

In that fleeting moment, Jerinvar's resolve hardened, convinced that his actions were justified. The nightmarish energy streaked through the air, seeking their intended target with unyielding purpose. Jerinvar's heart pounded in his chest as they made their way through the air towards the unsuspecting feline. The raw power of his connection with Hadar surged through his veins, lending an otherworldly potency to his attack. It was a moment of intense focus, his mind honed on the task at hand, as he believed he was serving a greater purpose.

The crackling energy closed in on its target, the air sizzling with eldritch power. Time seemed to slow as Jerinvar watched the beams draw nearer, his eyes fixed on the creature before him. Doubts momentarily flickered in the back of his mind, whispering of the consequences and the potential for a different path. But his conviction, bolstered by years of training and a deep-seated animosity towards these miscreations, held firm. The words "they must die..." escaped his lips.

Wary of harming the creatures, yet loyal to her friends, Seelah moves thirty feet ahead. Just as Kenjidor engages rangerly dash, our turami paladin clutches her holy symbol, and utters bring prayerful incantation.

"Helm, watch us and guide our steps, POR FAVOR!" POR FAVOR, an old turmic turnnof phrase, loose translated AMEN in the trade tongue. Helm knows what it means, to our party!

Within seconds, an aura of blessed protection and acumen surrounds Kenjidor, Seelah, and the first character to post with thirty feet. Granting increased combat prowess, and saving potential!

How’s THAT for a narrative post, y’all?

OOC:

Casting Bless. Hitting Kenjidor, Seelah, and one other character to-post. We just have to stay inside 30’ of Seelah, which I assume is doable. Thanks.

I would like to point out that he said don't kill, not don't hurt. I recognize these monsters and figure at our PC levels several of us may be familiar with them. I attacked knowing suspecting they would likely survive. If they are still attacking after 30+damage they are either controlled, have a reason to attack (nearby den, starving, etc) or really tough. We can do non lethal damage on all melee attacks. I was just softening then up

Also, once Bless is cast they can go as far as they want as long as you maintain concentration

Kenjidor dashed towards the creatures, blades ready to strike even though his heart wasn't in it. He felt the divine blessing from Seelah, but when he saw the creatures take the eldritch blasts in pain, his resolve faltered. The creatures may simply be protecting their territory. It's his own party that's trespassing, like interlopers out for violence. These creatures did not deserve this.

Hopeful that the attacks would frighten them off, and that his companions had the situation handled, Kenjidor instead moved to seek out the fey who were their intended target.

Kenjidor moves up another 30ft, so he's within 10ft of Enemy 1, but he stops there and simply focuses on looking around

Jerinvar's inner turmoil persisted, a battle waged within his heart. He understood that some of his allies held reservations about taking the lives of these creatures, and despite his own disdain for such monstrosities, he respected their convictions. While he remained prepared to deliver a lethal blow if circumstances demanded it, for now, he sought to employ a different approach—to intimidate and drive them away. With a renewed sense of purpose, he shifted his focus towards the second feline, determined to assert his dominance.

Drawing upon his connection with Hadar, Jerinvar summoned the eldritch energy once more, allowing it to surge through his veins. The crackling power coalesced into two potent beams that shot forth with relentless speed. The air crackled with arcane might as the eldritch blasts cut through the atmosphere, leaving behind a trail of ethereal energy that shimmered in their wake. The sheer force and intensity of the attack resonated through the surroundings, as if the fabric of reality itself quivered in response to their power.

Jerinvar's gaze remained fixed upon his target, his determination unyielding. In this moment, he sought not to end a life, but to assert his presence and deter further aggression. The eldritch beams were a display of his unwavering resolve, a warning to the feline monstrosity that he was not to be trifled with. As the crackling energy surged towards its intended destination, Jerinvar held his breath, waiting to witness the effect of his formidable assault.

OOC:

Attack Action: Eldritch Blast (modified with: Agonizing Blast, Lance of Lethargy, and Rappelling Blast; and Eldritch Spear if necessary) = 2 beams (each successful hit dealing 1d10+5 damage, reducing the targets speed by 10' until the end of my next turn, and pushing it 10' away from Jerinvar's current position).
