Ayalla's electric touch is evaded by the surrounded hellhound, but the follow up bite from Wuffles pins it in place, making him an easy target for Bernie to cut down with two flashing swipes of his sword. The beast slumps over, its corpse oozing a sickly red-black liquid that bursts and pops with flames when it touches the ground.

A mass of spikey thorns spring up around the other hellhound, locking it in place thanks to Leif's incantation. It paws tentatively at them, so that when Paul blasts it with acid and force, it takes them head on, scraping back through the painful overgrowth. Choosing not to risk further spiked agony the hound locks itself in place and watches the you warily. The spikes don't last long however. From one of the invisible creatures comes a chanted spell, and he reveals himself with a burst of light as a bolt of magic streams across the battlefield to slam into Leif. She stumbles, and as quickly as the come the spikes fall away. The spellcaster - dressed in a chain shirt and wielding a mace - moves into the treeline behind one of the archers, while the other still-invisible creature leaps across the road and enters the trees closest to Paul and Leif, but doesn't yet reach you.

Seeing their attacks repeatedly intercepted, the hobgoblin archers swap targets away from the squishy air genasi and instead targeting the heavily armoured man. One rushes into melee, swinging their longsword down while the pair behind him loose arrows, but Bernie parries the blade and spins, deflecting the arrows that come his way.

The other set of arrows bursts forth from the treeline at Paul. Two scrape against armour, but the third one bites into flesh.

Leif's spike growth goes up.
Ayalla misses with Shocking Grasp, but Wuffles and Bernie come in with the follow up and kill the hellhound.
Paul's acid splash and turret hit the south hellhound, and the knockback causes an additional 3 damage. The Hellhound is bloodied.

The hellhound, injured and surrounded by spikes, refuses to move, and Dodges.
One of the invisible creatures casts Guiding Bolt and hits Leif for 16 radiant. Leif unfortunately rolled a 9 (4 + 5 modifier) on their concentration save, so spike growth drops.
The remaining invisible creature moves in, entering the treeline on the right.

The red hobs attack Bernie, with one getting into melee. They miss with all their attacks.
The blue hobs attack Paul, with two missing and only one hitting for 9 piercing damage.

Everyone's up.
