Jack gives an indignant huff as his arrow is subsumed by the pillar, both shots missing despite feeling on point, "First magic fog, then magic pillars, I don't know why I bother bringing my bow sometimes..." He peeks around his cover, gauging the next cover over from where Oak used to hide. Yeah. That feels doable.
With a hup! he leaps out and runs, leaping over the narrow stream and just barely stopping himself from smacking right into the pillar before taking cover behind it, "I gotcha, bud!" He pulls out the pistol and unloads on the baddy the Shifter just attacked.

Arno moves up two columns, throwing an ice check at the nearest clockwork soldier. Arno tries to keep particular eye on the statue when the frosty explosion hits, hoping to glean some knowledge before hiding behind the stone.

OOC trying to keep cover and get behind that column right in front of robot #2. I'm hoping solider #6 is close enough for the burst damage.
Jack jumps the infested waters, rolling arm over arm into the column, and stands to unload his pistol into Oak's clockwork combatant! Jack's fears are confirmed, as the lead shots *pings* off the machine...but regardless, the able pistol manages to tear off half the robot's face, and a *whole* arm (-12 piercing damage (resistance)
...
The summoned Ice Knife fully misses the bot, but *lodges* into the column of the Soldier standing just behind him...before it *EXPLODES*!..

Retaliating against Gunn, Tweeter dances between the man's blade swings with mocking thrusts,...and eventually *snaps* at the man's face..."*ARRRRGH!!*," (-12 piercing damage)
A missing ear, just across from Gunn's missing eye, finds it's way to the floor in a splatter of blood below
"Oh god...my eyes!!," cries Kennedy, screeching horribly as the icicles grow and cover his pupils until there is nothing but whiteness and prickly sharpness...
"Hmm," Urixes grunts, considering the statues but unsure of what to do about them just yet. Instead, he focuses on helping Oak clear a path. "Go peck some eyes, Hex."
OOC: Urixes will move north to take cover behind the next column, then start with his trademark barrage of blasts and tentacle-slaps. Two eldritch blast bolts vs Clockwork 1, using Hex's help on the first and Bardic Inspiration on the second, followed by summoning Grasp of the Deep next to Oak and slapping Clockwork 1.

Urixes's blasts *shake* the Clockwork Soldier apart, rapidly loosening screws and popping off panels! The Salvaged Soldier is soon obliterated by the Warlock's assault, mere scrap metal left for the summoned tentacle to *bat away* harmless...
Bern breaks off his readied Cure Wounds with a quick snap of his taut strand of hair.
“Bah! These lot aren’t half as bad as I thought. Scurvy drudges.”, he laughs in well practiced hearty way, “How’s this you blundering wreck?”
Bern strides up to stand beside Arno, cover be damned, and casts Heat Metal on the nearest clockwork soldier.
“Looks like it’ll be potions for patching ourselves up later lads, but not to worry. Besides, who knows what goodies we’ll prize from their cold, dead hands.”, Bern assures his allies with a Jolly Roger grin.
Geth roll 2d8 for Fire Damage
Heat Metal
Choose a manufactured metal object, such as a metal weapon or a suit of heavy or medium metal armor, that you can see within range. You cause the object to glow red-hot. Any creature in physical contact with the object takes 2d8 fire damage when you cast the spell. Until the spell ends, you can use a bonus action on each of your subsequent turns to cause this damage again. If a creature is holding or wearing the object and takes the damage from it, the creature must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or drop the object if it can. If it doesn’t drop the object, it has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks until the start of your next turn.
The Clockwork Soldier heats from the very inside, the sound of gears and joints melting away somewhere deep within as the metal man lights up like a newly forged blade! The robot looks around "shocked", just before the growing heat causes a rivet holding on his mouth to *pop* out (-15 fire) and shoot across the room. The Salvaged Soldier's jaw hangs sideways off its face, the expression now completely bizarre and unreadable...

From behind Bern and Arno's advance, Erik hollers a final, "*Good Luck*!", before pursuing his brother and their donkey out and away from the melee...
Balog, smacking his face a few times to get the adrenaline going, picks up speed and *hurls* himself over the river to land beside Jack. The old dwarf picks himself up by the Crossbow, and (holding down the troops across the way), *fires* a lazy shot between the troopers.

Jack slaps Balog's back in a jovial Good Job manner and pokes his head out to figure out who's where, careful not to catch a bolt in his head, "I suspect Oak wants to go say hello to the blabbermouth himself, so I think we'll want to keep him safe, yea? I'll go first."
Slipping the pistol back into his belt he whips out the saber and charges up to sniper #1, making sure their cover is now also his cover from the rest of them. He glances at the hilt of the sword before swinging it, "Well, guess you're getting your due after all."

Oak's opponent is quickly cut down by Urixes, and the Shifter nods in appreciation, even after multiple bolts fly around him. He looks up at the firing soldiers and his eyes narrow. Pointing at them, he yells out, "Leaving them to you. I'm headed for Gunn."
With a bound, he heads up to the Dias, his jaw clenched tightly as he watches Gunn swing at the attacking bird. "Why don't you find someone yer own size there mate?" Oak roars as he stands in front of the Lieutenant, anger unleashing more fully as his animalistic nature takes over. In his rage, he can't wait to get to Gunn, and reaches out with two hands to grab him. If he could tear him apart with his bare hands, he intended to.
OOC: Using Bonus Action to use shifter trait, so 8 temp HP and +1 to AC.
Jack makes for the crouched Soldier in a flash, cutting him *deeply* with the blade with both the front and back end! (-17 slashing) The man (Finch) looks at the fresh cut wounds on his arms, *shocked*, as the blood starts flowing from the sliced veins flows for a moment in midair towards Jack's sword. He meets eyes with Jack, both of you suddenly aware of *each other's* awareness of the situation. "The blade.. its, vampiric! The wolf...he's feeding me to it!!" Finch yells to the others, his face going white as a sheet...
JACK'S RED SKULL SABER
*rude, sloppy eating noises* "Awm-nom....an', if you'd just *hold still* little brother, we will soon have it all...hahaha, AHAHAHA, *AHHHHH*....*today, I FEAST!!*"
...
Gunn responds to Oak with a steady, ready growl as the Shifter bounds up to confront him head on. The man's eyes meet yours. A fellow warrior. He goes to swing upon Oak with his sword, but Oak grabs his wrist before the strike can come around. Gunn goes to punch Oak with his free hand...and finds it caught by the Shifter again. Necks straining, legs pushing against the stone beneath, and the two men wrestle atop the temple ruins as the sounds of battle ring out below them...
"Seems you've gotten some admirers Bern. Good thing you're such a tough old sea dog."
Arno turns their attention to Gunn. The metal man is sure to melt quite soon, and if they can just take Gunn down, the rest should give up quick.

Locked as he is in Oak's meaty grip, Gunn does the best he can to *snap* his neck around and weave between beak strikes, dodging out of the way of the aggressive avian while still pinned bodily by the Shifter...
The temperature nearby Oak suddenly begins to drop dramatically: the Lieutenant's breath becomes frosty, and his arms begin to tremble, not just from the effort, but from the sudden chill in his bones. Looking up at Oak with small icicles hanging from his eyebrows and involuntary chattering teeth, the man goads Oak, "C-c-can't take me on your own, eh? Need yer little nature witch t-t-to put me down? Yer n-n-ot a *proper* man after all, then; just a *beast*..."
But just as soon as the effect has begun, it starts to fade: the icicles on the man's face melt, and the blue color leaves his lips. The magical energy which charged the atmosphere begins to roll off the man like a wispy vapor, curling and tumbling like trails of smoke until absorbed into the Ouroboros statue.
Gunn grins wickedly as the color returns to his lips...(-6 cold, half-neutralized by the Statue!)
Geth roll 1d20+2 Con Save vs. Cold
The Statue next to Oak and Gunn suddenly alights from within, a deep golden color: strong enough to cast the wrestling shadows against a far wall...
Urixes makes the leap across the stream, taking cover behind the next pillar. With a few quick mental commands, he sends Hex and his summoned tentacle toward the soldier tangling with Jack. Both of them strike with arcane lightning.
OOC:Moving north to the next column, I should be able to clear the water with a standard long jump. Sending in Hex to deliver the touch spell Shocking Grasp against Soldier 1, and following that up with a Grasp of the Deep. If the soldier is wearing metal armor (I think it is based on the picture?), Shocking Graps has advantage. If Shocking Grasp hits, the soldier can't take reactions until the start of its next turn. If Grasp hits, its speed is reduced by 10 feet until the start of my next turn.

Oak growls back at Gunn. "Fancy talk comin' from a lad sitting up on his hill while his mates shoot at us." Oak strains against the other man. "Time to pull you off yer throne."
Having stopped Gunn's attack, Oak forces his arms slowly backwards. With a glance to his side, he sees the pool below. "Maybe you need cool down."
With a yank, he goes to throw Gunn into the pool of water below.
Gunn's eyes go wide. His feet dig in against the Shifter's*crushing* brute strength. "Big...bastard...," The Lieutenant grunts, as Oak attempts to hurl the man down to the pool below...
Geth roll 1d20+4 Strength Challenge vs Oak
Burning Gunn's "Indomitable" Ability for another chance:
... but his struggle is useless. The man goes completely limp in Oak's fearsome grip. The Shifter *hefts* the man halfway up, before *chucking* him off the edge and into the pool below.
He hits the water like a missile, and then *smashes* against the bottom of the pool (must've been more shallow than you all thought) (-11 bludgeoning). Gunn is just floating to the surface, when the Cave Fishers are upon him (-40 slashing!)...

Blasts of eldritch energy fly past Arno's shoulder, while Hex and the tentacle keep the pressure up on Jack's sparring partners.

Balog grins broadly as his foe is restrained. "Knew that sword had a funny look, just from the hilt," he muses to Jack nearby."...well, you want it, you ken' come through me, asshole!" As he swings down on the Soldier (Styles). Balog is clearly more enjoyable*in* a ruckus than otherwise

Suddenly, among the snapping and thrashing within the central pool, a soaking wet, armored red "creature" emerges from the water. James Gunn moves slowly, and suffers fresh cuts in a *dozen* different areas. The mask of humanity has fallen: the Lieutenant rips his way free from the throng of crabs with a deafening *BELLOW*, raising his arms *triumphantly* towards the sky as he finally pulls himself fully free. "*WILD B-U-U-U-U-UNCHHH!*", Gunn *ROARS* in defiance!
Gunn utilizing his "Second Wind" ability to heal 10hp!

Having stopped Gunn's attack, Oak forces his arms slowly backwards. With a glance to his side, he sees the pool below. "Maybe you need cool down."
With a yank, he goes to throw Gunn into the pool of water below.
Geth, roll 2d20k1+7 for Pool Time

OOC: Just read up on 5e flanking rules, and I'm onboard if you guys are! Leave an agree to this post if you want to implement the following:
"Aww, I as going to have Fusspot attack him, to boost his confidence!" The fellow is quickly replaced by another, one of their strike connecting with an oof! from Jack. He grunts, "Well, second chance I suppose."

((OOC: If either of those lands he'll use Goading Attack - target makes a Wis save or has disadv. vs. other targets until the end of Jack's next turn ))
Geth, roll 1d8 for Goading Attack Damage
"You can do it, Mister Fusspot! Get 'em!"
“Begone bot!”, he exclaims.
Then, hoping it’s done in, he travels south and takes cover. There he takes a break, downing a healing potion.
Geth roll 2d8 for Fire Damage
Geth roll 2d4+2 HP
"Looks like your Boss is gone, and your mechanical back up is melting. This doesn't need to be a battle to the death though. Put down the sabers and help free the Edger, and we can all keep breathing. Otherwise Oak's going to charge down on you, or maybe Jack'll feed you to his sword."
Geth roll 1d20+5 persuasion
OOC Unclear if offering them a chance to surrender is an action, move, or bonus. But if they don't take the offer and I still have an action, I'll shift to a brown bear and add the tag line "or you can deal with *ROAR*!"

Turn to @Denada !
MEANWHILE...
OOC: Soldier 2 looks like he's peeking out enough for a good shot from my position. Hex will stay put to keep helping Jack. The tentacle will give Soldier 5 a slap for good measure.

Balog grins broadly as his foe is restrained. "Knew that sword had a funny look, just from the hilt," he muses to Jack nearby."...well, you want it, you ken' come through me, asshole!" As he swings down on the Soldier (Styles). Balog is clearly more enjoyable*in* a ruckus than otherwise

Suddenly, among the snapping and thrashing within the central pool, a soaking wet, armored red "creature" emerges from the water. James Gunn moves slowly, and suffers fresh cuts in a *dozen* different areas. The mask of humanity has fallen: the Lieutenant rips his way free from the throng of crabs with a deafening *BELLOW*, raising his arms *triumphantly* towards the sky as he finally pulls himself fully free. "*WILD B-U-U-U-U-UNCHHH!*", Gunn *ROARS* in defiance!

"Always knew the "sweet and dumb" thing was an *act*, you know," The Far Aeston Soldier informs Jack, as they pace around each other. "Even from afar! Heh, quite the sly devil, aren't you? I'll even bet you lost that finger on purpose..." The Gossiping Soldier (Hobbs) tries to goad Jack right back, suggesting he knows of your *nefarious*, true nature...

Hobbs (2) *gulps* over towards his companion at the sudden sight of the towering ursine. "Bear...*BEAR*! Kennedy, it's a f..."
"I *know* it's a bear!" The steadfast soldier responds. "Stand your ground, man! *STAND YOUR GROUND*!

From behind the pillar just in front of the Bear fracas, the final sniper (Soldier 4) psyches himself up at the sight of the bear, clearly frightened. But the man (Matthews) sees his lieutenant emerging from the water and takes heart at his cry. Taking a few, focusing deep breaths, the man replaces his crossbow with his longsword...and *charges* ahead, flanking Bear*Arno from the back! Bear*Arno is surrounded

OOC OUCH. rolling for keeping tweeter. Also, one of those got a critical on me, thank goodness for that extra bear HP (boo that massive loss of AC). So a bear has 19 hp, 25 total damage without the critical, 6 damage tears through me. Without that bear form, I'd have been the deadest.
Also, how is Gunn still standing, after all those cave fishers ?
