Quickblade flanks Red Goat, slicing the same. 11 S damage Boiling blood from the fresh wound squirts at Quickblade's face! DC 19 basic Reflex save vs 2d4 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5 fire damage from Quickblade

Elsha, Rangi, Welby/Drake, and Rysk are up!

Assailed by fire, Drake stomps forward to strike the red goat. "Ugh.. it's like being in the middle of an oven!"

+++ Act Together

Reflex save, DC21, clumsy enlarged: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 11 - 2 = 28

Rangi is not the most agile one but he can withstands flames
He moves into the flames

Fort save, DC21: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

Then he strikes the red creature

Concleaed, DC5: 1d20 ⇒ 16

Damage, slashing: 2d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5, 5) + 3 + 2 = 15

Reflex: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20

Rysk tries to ignore the burning for a moment, focusing on a target.

◆ Devise a Stratagem (red)
Stratagem (red): 1d20 ⇒ 1

Rysk decides the pain is too much right now and focuses on healing.

◆ Battle Medicine (Rysk)
Medicine DC 20: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (3) + 19 = 22
Healing: 2d8 + 10 + 5 + 8 ⇒ (3, 8) + 10 + 5 + 8 = 34

Success, 2 fire, fail, 4 fire, fail sickened 1. 5 temp HP, leaves Khagra with 1 real damage

Khagra coughs a little as he gets sprayed with some fire.

Elsha jogs up behind Rangi, leaving the one he afflicted to simply die despite becoming invisible.

◆ Stride 25 ft

He configures one of his versatile vials as a moderate blight bomb...

◆ Quick Alchemy

and lobs it over Rangi.

◆ Strike BLUE (quick bomber, far lobber, bomber research field/only splash to target)

(thrown 30 ft., alchemical, bomb, consumable, infused, poison, splash)
moderate blight bomb attack BLUE: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26
poison damage: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8
4 poison splash damage
2d4 persistence poison damage

Welby/Drake takes the worse of fire on them. He then protects while Drake attacks, but only the wing smacks Red Goat. 11 B damage

Rangi is singed by the fireball to some extent. He enters the fume without getting sick, but misses hitting the enemy. Eat Fire's resistance lasts until the end of your turn to act, not the end of round, but the cantrip is still active for Belch Smoke until the start of your next turn. Let me know if we are on the same page on this.

Rysk gets toasted too. Instead of attacking, he patches his wounds and pays Quickblade a visit. I see that you are next to Quickblade, and not Drake, as opposed to your post. Let me know if that is right.

Elsha moves and to his surprise, somebody bites him! He finds the White Canine turning visible after the attack that he luckily evades.
Reactive Strike: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (5) + 17 = 22 vs Elsha AC 25-2, OG

DC 5 Flat check vs Concealed: 1d20 ⇒ 19
He then lobs a poisonous bomb at Blue. If you have Quick Bomber, that's Quick Alchemy+Strike in one action. You have one action left.

I will post Red Goat's action so that Khagra can act as well.
Red Goat attacks Khagra with the flaming sword without being bothered by the smoke, before it conjures a dimension door to teleport to another spot.
flaming sword: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22

Elsha braces himself against the flames. Anyone nearby can hear his pained groans.

That goat has got to go! he thinks.

He jogs out left for a clearer shot, but his stride is clearly pained.

Rysk is burned a bit. Then aims for Blue Goat, taking the same down. Blue Goat out

Rangi resists some fire. With Blue out, Rangi, you can redo all actions.

Rangi double moves to the last enemy and strikes them 19 to hit 15 dmg (assuming that concealed is not needed) => first attack rolls
