Pre-Batttle Prep: Activate Watcher's Will and Boots of Speed, cast Aid at 3rd level on Jessica, Merry and Hyra and See Invisibility.

Move adjacent to the ranger, using a long jump (16ft) as required. With 60ft movement speed this should be okay since we're only 50ft away.

Bonus action Blinding Smite. (3d8)[12] radiant damage on next melee attack, DC 16 or blinded ((1d20)[16] plus mods).

Attack #1 - To hit: (1d20+10)[12], to damage: (1d8+8)[10] slashing damage, plus (1d8)[3] radiant damage. If the attack is successful, smite for an additional (2d8)[13] radiant damage.

Attack #2 - To hit: (1d20+10)[12], to damage: (1d8+8)[9] slashing damage, plus (1d8)[3] radiant damage. If the attack is successful, smite for an additional (2d8)[11] radiant damage.

Merry teleports Jessica forward to just across one of the streams from Robin. Hyra's Celestial scores a hit, although it seems to be resisted (8; all 8 temp hp removed). Lanius fires three arrows, all of which hit (18+18+13), and moves up to stand close to Hyra (I only see 50 movement). Jessica dashes forward, but misses with both sword-swings.

The half orc in front of her flashes a toothy grin and raises his bow, a moment later, he is 10' away and firing at her, then another 10' and shooting at Hyra, and then he runs farther while firing two arrows more at Jessica.

Merry reappears midway over the stream and promptly falls in. Undignified and looking like an unhappy wet cat, he moves forwards to the opposite bank from where he started. He casts a simple spell, but one which he hopes will have a good chance of catching Robin. A tiny skeletal hand appears near the ranger and tries to grab him.

Then Merry fades out again into etherealness.

Merry moves to cover, then blinks out. Hyra and the Celestial move forward. Lanius dashes and splashes forwards, readying an attack (he can't quite end up in the brush, it's 5' too far; bare patch around this part of the stream unfortunately). Jessica heals herself, going prone.

The half-orc stands out of the grass, his cloak still making him hard to see, and fires an arrow at Lanius. Lanius looses an arrow, but misses, and the ranger fires another, moving from spot to spot southwards as he shoots before hiding again.

Merry crawls back westwards a few feet, staying low / prone in the underbrush. He retrieves his trusty mica chips and readies a loud snap to center on Robin wherever he might poke his head up again.

Merry crawls west, preparing a Shatter spell, which will also break invisibility when cast.

Spoiler: Shatter

Advantage on Con saves (1d20+1)[13]
Need to hit a DC 20 to halve 29 thunder damage.

Hyra dashes forwards.
Her Celestial readies an attack (will hit for 15 radiant).
Lanius moves forward into cover, conjuring some healing berries while hiding.
Jessica stays flat, calling up a magical shield.

The half-orc draws his bow back, revealing his presence and firing an arrow at the summoned Celestial. Arrows pass in flight, and he is hit (resist to 7 as a reaction). Merry creates a thunderous explosion (save above in spoiler). He turns and fires an arrow at the prone Merry, then another at Hyra, blinking between positions and re-crossing the water before concealing himself again, this time in the vegetation northeast of the river (the U22-AD25 block).

The Celestial vanishes in a burst of light, and arrows strike both Hyra and Merry.

Merry's arcane ward slows the arrow and exactly counters its forward momentum, leaving the arrow to drop on the ground in front of Merry. It leaves Merry untouched, though barely.

Merry takes a chance that the same strategy will work twice. He readies another mica chip and keeps a sharp elvish eye out for any reappearance of the archer. He crawls another 10' or so eastwards just to increase the likelihood of being in range.
