"Well, this should be interesting," says Imti, her tone indicating she would actually prefer other interesting things, probably in a completely different interesting place. Seated on her broom with her shield, she hovers just enough to see over the head of Ziggy.

Ziggy's spell goes off and the knight shrugs it off, but the priest stands there with a dazed look on his face.

Imti instinctively ducks from the knight's attack, even though she wasn't the target. She clutches her crystalline star map and communes with the twilight between the constellations, then points at the knight with a crooked finger. Illusory sparkles briefly shimmer across the knight's armor as pinpricks of light penetrate the metal, imbuing the suit with the heat of their representative stars.

She saves a bit of the star light for herself, weaving a constellation of dragon wings across her back and the horned fangs down her chest. Imti flies up into the air, taking a circular pattern to keep away from the monstrous Zodar, yet closing to 30 feet from the knight.

Ziggy grunts as he is forcefully yanked towards the Zodar. The bard's concentration shattered, the mesmerizing patterns conjured by his cittern fade away. Blood trickling from pouted lips, the elf switches from a soulful baritone to a piercing falsetto, creating some space between himself and the team's foes, leaving behind a shower of starlight.

Even as Ziggy sought to fall back, Quaxiver prepared to do the opposite.

The knight lets out a shout of pain as his armor becomes red-hot with him inside of it.

Ziggy quickly takes a magical step out of range while leaving behind glowing flames that cling to the knight, making him easier to strike.

This One casts a spell, attempting to make his foes flee, but neither of them seem affected by it.

Quax dashes forward impossibly quickly, trying his best to do real damage to the Zodar, which is clearly the strongest of the foes. Both strikes land solidly, flames arcing to the priest, who yelps in pain.

The Zodar, seeming barely bothered by the scratches, launches a heavy fist at Quax, who ducks under it. Balance thrown off, Quax can't react quickly enough and takes a grazing blow from the Zodar.

Imti laments how the priest didn't watch Ziggy's light show for longer, but soon she has another issue to deal with. She struggles to resist the priest's magical restraints, and the Raven Queen's blessing shines through.

If it's going to be a battle of divinity, Imti resolves to prove that the Raven Queen could care less about the competition. She does so by throwing a glittering ball of starlight at the priest!

The druid continues moving in the air so as not to remain stationary, and she circles counter-clockwise until she can be 30 feet behind Quaxiver.

You call forth an aberrant spirit. It manifests in an unoccupied space that you can see within range. This corporeal form uses the Aberrant Spirit stat block. When you cast the spell, choose Beholderkin, Slaad, or Star Spawn. The creature resembles an aberration of that kind, which determines certain traits in its stat block. The creature disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends.
The creature is an ally to you and your companions. In combat, the creature shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It obeys your verbal commands (no action required by you). If you don’t issue any, it takes the Dodge action and uses its move to avoid danger.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, use the higher level wherever the spell’s level appears in the stat block.

Regeneration (Slaad Only). The aberration regains 5 hit points at the start of its turn if it has at least 1 hit point.
Whispering Aura (Star Spawn Only). At the start of each of the aberration’s turns, each creature within 5 feet of the aberration must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or take 2d6 psychic damage, provided that the aberration isn’t incapacitated.
Actions
Multiattack. The aberration makes a number of attacks equal to half this spell’s level (rounded down).
Claws (Slaad Only). Melee Weapon Attack: your spell attack modifier to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1d10 + 3 + the spell’s level slashing damage. If the target is a creature, it can’t regain hit points until the start of the aberration’s next turn.
Eye Ray (Beholderkin Only). Ranged Spell Attack: your spell attack modifier to hit, range 150 ft., one creature. Hit: 1d8 + 3 + the spell’s level psychic damage.

Quaxiver was too close to try to skip away from the oncoming attack he was expecting from for the zodar, but did not allow the blow to disrupt the focus he had on his speed. He then replied with a flurry of slashes of his own, while he could still maintain the offensive.

OOC:

Zodar hits Quax and therefore takes 7hp from the cold Fire Shield. Using Hadozee Dodge to mitigate 5hp of the damage from the zodar's attack. Quax takes 11hp, putting him at 40/51hp. Con save passed.

WORK IN PROGRESS

Imti's spell sends forth a ball of starlight, which slams into the priest's chest and lights him up. Concentrating on her spell, Imti also keeps the metal of the knight's armor burning.

A moment later, the priest is struck by yet another ball of light, staggering him back another step.

This One calls upon another plane and a slaad steps through a portal, slashing the priest in the back.

Quax's quick slashes hit the Zodar over and over, sending gouts of flame to the priest, who finally falls. The Zodar's wounds seem to be adding up slowly, but it's still got a lot of power left.

The knight realizes he's never going to match Quax's agility and turns his attention to Imti in the air, launching two rays of pure light at her. Both of them miss badly as Imti zips through the air.

The Zodar launches a couple more punches at Quax and causes the air to warp around Imti, attempting to pull her closer.

Imti growls, struggling against the intangible pull of the Zodar. She had never felt such gravity, nor did she expect the pain that accompanies it.

"I'm just... not that into you!" shouts Imti. As the final syllable leaves her lips, a dark cloud of raven feathers forms behind her, circling a void of twilight. Like a pebble falling down a drain, Imti and her broom are sucked into the void, reappearing back where she was 30 feet away and now 15 feet in the air.

Still enveloped in a faint spectral mist, Imti turns her attention back to the Knight, and sends another ball of starlight in an attempt to trade shots. "How's about your friend suck on this, instead?"

Quaxiver knew he wouldn't outlast the zodar in a toe-to-toe fight, but he still had at least one or two ways to avoid the worst of the zodar's attacks. This time he threw up a quick shield to deflect one of the heavy blows. Still, the zodar's other attack nearly knocked the wind out of him.

OOC:

Posting defense for Round 2 first, before doing Round 3. Reaction to cast Shield, AC24+5=29 avoids the first zodar attack, but Quax still eats the second. So Quax is at 40-21=19hp.
Fire Shield triggers, so the zodar takes 5hp from it.
