Pip looks up at the sky and addresses the GM. "Ahem! Was that spray of bone matter a reaction, perchance? That dragon is slowed and cannot do reactions because it failed its save versus Hideous Laughter."
★ ---- ★ ---- ★ ---- ★
Pip delays until after Hopper has acted, hoping to heal him if he comes close enough in range. "Hopper, keep coming towards me!"
And you better believe I will be using one of my actions to sustain my hideous laughter.

In order to remain on his feet, Salliss ends up taking the damage from the torrent of boiling blood. He then moves to flank Red Brimorak with Hopper and Wolfie. Once there, he strikes twice.

With Hopper sick, I'll just prepost what I will do once he acts.
Pip calls out to the Ravener in draconic. "Why do so many Ravener comedians wing it? They need to show the audience their humerus!" Pip tells the joke, waiting for Hopper to come to her.

If Hopper comes with 30 feet:
Pip heals her friend, and keeps the dragon laughing.
Bardyeth swings his glaive around and connects with the Ravener. The impact can be felt by those around as the bones crumble. The second hit finishes the Ravener.

Wolfie kept running, he decided to escape with the wind so that chasing fiend would be easily smelled by him. Animal knew that the creature would catch them
"Noro lim, Asfaloth, noro lim!" the animal heard and wondered why Hopper was speaking to him in elvish, and why would he call him Asfaloth, that makes no sense.
The giant wolf in one jump stopped in place and turned around throwing the fiend off, and letting Hopper to parry the hit. Then he resumed his run.

Ionic, grumbling about 'de damn smoke' and 'cheap tactics' and 'not wantin' ta make dinner,' gives a fancy flip of his dagger to shift his grip as he slides into the smoke and into a flanking position with Salliss.

You should have stayed flanking with Bardyth. Salllis specifically moved beside you to share his protective aura and has the gang up feat now so he had flanking.
Seeing Ionic start to shift, Salliss says “Don’t move in there, Ionic! Wanted us to be side by side!”

Wait...I doidnt realize I was already flanking whoops! I'll just stay put, if I can.
Ionic realises that there's no reason to head into the smoke after all, and decides against moving into the acrid looking stuff in the first place. "Right. Stayin' put'sa good idea." Instead of trying to lash out a fourth time, he raises his dagger to try fending off the brimorak instead.
New actions: Strike, Twin takedown, Parry, AC 26 for the round.
The smoke doesn't do anything but concealment, unless you are inside, then you would have to worry about fort saves.
Ionic lands the first trident strike. The remaining miss. He then lifts his dagger in a defensive position. The demon screams out as the cold iron pierces its flesh.

Hopper invigorated with magic rides towards the last Brimorak standing, and tries to strike him
His cold iron dogslicer lays it open. It disappears.
Out of Combat
Soon after the PCs defeat the ravener and its brimorak allies, Eliza Petulengro rushes in with three other agents. "I can only guarentee you all a short rest."10 minutes"Here allow these three to assist you"
The three agents tend to the PC's wounds, restoring them to full hit points by using a combination of heal spells and elixirs. While this is happening, the PC's take in the spectacle of battle. Numerous agents driving back demons and undead.
Herondal is finally able to breathe enough clean air to clear his lungs of soot.
Everyone please let me know what you all plan to do with the 10 minutes. Also, very well fought combat. If you all would like to nominate two to receive a hero points for this battle, please do so in discussion.

Hopper ensures that enough magic, elixirs, and attention goes towards Wolfie. As the scales are falling to the ground Hopper is applying his second Wyvern Poison to the dogslicer.

Ionic huffs into his beard as yet someone else takes down his prey before him. He mutters a few things in annoyance before taking a deep breath and calming himself. He looks over at Bardyth and, trying not to frown, asks, "So... Whaddja want for dinner? Can't be too fancy out 'ere, but 'll try."

"Oh, thank you for the healing! You all are awesome!" Pip refocuses and then finally opens her eyes to find her team still talking about dinner. "How about a stir-fry with lots of veggies, some rice and meat of your choice? Perhaps something local that you find while hunting?"
Eliza chimes in, "I am glad you all are so optimistic, but let us focus on the task at hand."
Your next mission is to disrupt the ritual site itself. Eando and I will be organizing the rest of the field agents and running interference and will keep the area as clear as we can. Nelket and Dolok, as well as the rest Farheaven clan, will be running support as well."
"One last thing." Eliza begins casting a spell on each PC. "This should give you the jump on the."

Ablaze trees surround a clearing consumed by flame. A fiery ritual circle, almost eighty feet in diameter, rises two feet from the ground. Small sigils inside the circle further illuminate its interior. An inky black pit at the center of the circle leads into the bowels of the earth. Even looking at the pit invokes a sense of wrongness and vertigo. Outside the circle, five blazing rune are visible, each with trolls bound by iron chains to stand above them. Tendrils of lightning-filled smoke tie the five sigils to a spectral figure hovering in the air above the rift in the earth.
The spirit speaks, its voice booming above the blaze. “You lesser creatures have hounded me at every turn, but you’re too late! The great Urxehl shall rise and restore us to our rightful place as rulers of this world. You will rue the day you dared to defy me! Now die, and let your souls feed my ritual!”
Out of the corner of your eyes, you see the Farheaven Clan and Pathfinders engage on the perimeter. They are quickly surrounded by undead and trolls alike.

Ionic gives a nod at the suggestion for a stir-fry meal. It might be just the thing for everyone to be able to enjoy. He pauses at Salliss's comment, thinking for a moment, before commenting, "Oxen're different creatures? I don't know but never met a vegan, oder dan oxen, strong as an ox."
Later approaching the ritual, Ionic gives a small sound akin to a mouse at the giant fireball that engulfs the party.

Despite being in the saddle Hopper dodged the worst of the flames, but Wolfie get out a bit smoldered.
Hopper looks around the circles and heads towards Salliss, he passes him in great speed. "I will take care of the next one!"
He arrives to see the giant troll chained to the rune "Don't bother me pal, I will free you from this prison! You will be back to sleeping under a bridge in no-time"
