It gives Advantage at first then shifts to +1 later. Too bad for Thorn I guess; bad timing break.OOC:
I’m only on phone access until later; will wait for Iasu’s Save attempt to see what happens to start this round.

DMJ says:
Akkeen snaps to attention, listening carefully to identify, holding his bulky plank bow sternly."Edimmu," he says to Iasu. A grave look on his face.
He turns to Kray and to Ahri, "Edimmu are coming! Wicked fliers. Stand ready. Protect the lights!"
Then, he hears the horrible moan and his mouth goes dry.

Iasu's arrow finds its perfect mark. It pierces into the side of one of the edimmu's head, causing the fiend to flutter it's wings erratically. It barks out in fright, "BBARBSS!!!! AZZZZAAAAAAA!!!", and then crashes to the floor at the outer rim of the light, flapping twice more and then falling still.

Descending from the pitch blackness overhead, it is as if they appear out of nowhere. Crashing down on their two victims they land like tarps of spoiled flesh.
With skin and coloring similar to a black eel, wide fins that seem more fit for swimming that flying, they look like creatures from the sea rather than from land or air. Once they attack, they open their pale eyes, sharp mandibles expand, and their dreadful whirling barbed tails begin to lash out like wild animals of their own!
All who FAILED Save have Frightened condition until next round when they can make another attempt.
Attacks vs. Akkeen and Thorn.
1. See if first Attack, Advantage applied, is a hit. If so, begin Restrained Condition. If not, you're good there.
2. See if tail Attack is a hit. It is at Advantage if Restrained from #1 above. If not, it is the first die roll.
3. If Tail Attack is a hit, Save DC 13 STR vs. possible trip. Fail means knocked Prone. Save means you're still standing

Akkeen is frozen rigid from the dread moan. He looks up in silent horror as the mushussu crashes down on him from above.
Attack Hit. Begin Restrained Condition.
Tail Hit. Required DC 13 STR Save or knocked Prone
Save successful
Akkeen is engulfed by the heavy body of the beast, its fin-like wings stretching completely around him. The beast bends its own spine trying to drive Akkeen's head forward and tip him off balance, even as the cruel boney tail thrashes his legs like a lash.
Somehow Akkeen is able to stay on his feet, but barely. He struggles to free himself from the heavy beast that enwraps him like a foul blanket.

Bryn, Iasu, and Ahri are nearly frozen in fear as the dark beasts fall into the light, unleashing their full violence against Thorn on one side of the hearth column and Akkeen on the other side. The dire moaning call felt as if it would crack a man's spirit. Now seeing the beasts - it is as if they should not be. They are from another world and their presence is overwhelming.
[ +- ] Frightened Condition
Frightened
•A frightened creature has disadvantage on Ability Checks and Attack rolls while the source of its fear is within line of sight.

On opposite sides of the hearth column, Akkeen and Thorn are both engulfed by the monsters. Thorn is at risk of losing his footing and being driven to the ground as the bone tail thrashes at his legs trying to trip him.

Iasu keeps moving, flitting among the shadows, to attack from cover, but he is hampered somewhat by a sudden inability to move even an inch closer to the hellish creatures that have engulfed Akkeen, and the northerner Thorn. Struggling to control his trembling fingers. he draws and shoots at the one on his half-brother.

Akkeen
BR2
Akkeen's heavy plank bow clatters to the ground as he drops it to grapple with the monstrosity. The string of the bow is knocked free and the large bolt charges out with a twang, narrowly missing nearby Maeriks before it hits a stone outcropping of the hearth column and breaks with a sharp snap.
Akkeen yells out as he tries desperately to tear the monster away from him. Already enwrapped, it is an extremely difficult task.
Action: Attempt break Restrained condition
Result: Akkeen loses comparison. Restrained condition continues in to R3.
Akkeen's efforts are not enough. The huge fin flaps of the mushussu roll forward in heaves, further constricting Akkeen on both sides. His arms are being pressed close against his body and he is losing more freedom of movement.

A familiar feeling spreads through Thorn's gut. Fear. Unpredictable, always a hindrance, only useful if managed. He swallows as the barbed tail hits him.

OOC:
By INT Investigation check (already rolled secret by DM)...Kray recognizes the danger of hacking full force at the beast wrapping Thorn. There would be high risk of injuring Thorn as well. He and the others would have to take extra caution to hit at the right angles to ensure damage only against the beast and not their friend as well.
Normal Attacks vs. Monsters with Restrained victims: half damage to monster, half damage to victim Restrained
