((I can move Sagishi for you; I have to move Galen as well anyway. Please let me know if I moved him to the wrong square.))
As Galen moves toward the center of the field, he feels the scorpion's grip closing around him. Not now, he thinks, as he works to twist his way out of its grasp. I don't have time for distractions like you.
Having made his escape, he breaks across the field, briefly holding his arm and shouting "Don't let him get away! We need him alive!"
((Updated map. Feel free to cross-reference Galen's movement with the circles; I haven't had time to prepare an 30 foot overlay.
Still #blessed 8/10))

Alternatively, Sagishi could kill the wolf to free up Galen. I was going to say that Galen was about ready to just kill this guy if he couldn't otherwise be stopped, and, well, it may be time to see Icarus fall.
No problem.
Yeah, I was going to ask if anyone had any way to stop him, but I cannot advocate any potential use of a counterspell, if it could even be used, from Thosar in this case. If there is no way to stop him from fleeing, say, the use of the Command spell to demand he return -with a dash action or ending his turn, as we have learned -Galen will have no choice but to pincushion him to prevent unnecessary complications. If he could be forced to return, Galen could just shoot that wolf to probable death to get it off Thosar.

((Standing from prone doesn't provoke attacks, so at least you have that going for you. Hopefully the warthog can help you out soonlike.
Since Peaseblossom has cast Confusion on the scorpion, it can't take any reactions so anyone can run past or away from it safely. Also, since her entangle dissipated after switching concentration to the new spell, the ape can act normally. Maybe run over to help Keranos as well. That owlbear is still cranky though.))

When he is forced to the ground by a wild dire wolf and surrounded by hostile creatures, Keranos finally snaps out of his blood feud with Talos to address the situation in front of him.
Maneuvering to one knee to properly focus his energies ((purely fluff; I am still prone)), Keranos summons the full force of a raging hurricane to push his foes away from him.
((Cast Thunderwave using a Level 2 spell slot, centered on me to hit all surrounding enemies. Note: I am still not really clear about how the area of effect for Thunderwave works, so let me know if I'm doing it wrong.
Damage: [3 + 4 + 8] = 15. DC 13 Constitution save; if they pass, half damage. If they fail, full damage and they are pushed back 10 feet.
I am going to wait to see how the spell plays out before I decide whether to stand up.
Edit: I am now being told that I can stand up without being attacked. If that's true then I'll stand up first))

<Fhiess will probably go heal Ludwig now, or if Ludwig doesn't need it, can try to help Keranos with a ranged attack.>
Correctly assessing that the giant ape poses the largest danger between it and the owlbear, the four-legged uses his divine power to purge the goblinoids tainted substance from the simians system. The ape blinks rapidly and looks about in confusion, but the fire of animal fury has gone out of his eyes, and he poses no further threat at the moment. The same can not be said for the owlbear, who rages against its restraint in a desperate bid to sink beak and claw into anything nearby. Fhiess, seeking to channel the creatures animosity in directions other than his teammates, conjures the illusion of a plump little bunny to hop about in front of the owlbear to hold the monstrositys attention.
On the far side of compound, Keranos continues his tantrum. Shouting to the sky, he weathers the tooth and claw of the wolf and easily evades the blow of the half-sedate bugbear. He responds with another wave of thunderous might that knocks the dire wolf back far enough for it to stumble over the sleeping bugbear, waking the slumbering brute in the process. Keranos attempts to put some distance between himself and the growing number of opponents and moves toward the tents and firepit, prompting the bugbear standing next to him to take a swing at him.
Meanwhile, Galen attempts to put some distance between himself and the giant scorpion, but the arthropod manages to grab him in its claw just before he can put himself outside its reach. It puts the pressure on him, but ultimately proves to not be strong enough to overpower the ranger, who slips from its grasp and staggers away to safety, though momentarily too of balance to take aim at anything.
Sagishi unlocks the cage containing the giant eagle and clambers up on top. With balancing with each foot on a separate bar, he takes draws a bead with his crossbow on the goblin lying on the ground beyond the rubble of the tower. Just as the hapless little grunt starts to stand to his feet, a crossbow bolt opens his jugular and he falls back to the ground, turning the soil beneath his corpse into red mud.
Thinking quickly, Nyx causes the ground around the commanding hobgoblin and his mount to sprout wicked-looking thorns and spines, effectively keeping them put unless they feel they can risk being torn to ribbons by a misplaced step that sends them sprawling into the dangerous undergrowth. Sensing an opportunity, Thosar steps through time and space to appear before the duo and unleashes a wave of arcane power in the hopes of driving them backwards into the waiting spikes. The wolf digs its claws into the earth, and while theyre buffeted with extreme forces, they remain put.
The wounded hobgoblins eyes are aflame with hatred as he sneers at Thosars taunting. Laugh all you like, filthy reh vaq 'ej! he spits on the ground between them. The Hand of Maglubiyet is ascendant, and the day draws near where he will strike low you and all your wretched kind! He hurls himself from his mount, but instead of lunging toward Thosar, he countermands the laws of physics and instead sails out over the trees, away from the high elf as fast as his arcane powers can manage.
Thosar scarcely has time to react to this new development before the hobgoblins abandoned mount is upon him. Heedless of the pain of the thorny growth tearing into its hide and flesh, the huge wolf flies at Thosar in its attempt to clamp its jaws around his exposed throat.
Keranos finds himself quickly surrounded by bugbears and wolves. His luck gives out on him, however, as the beastly dire wolf finally manages to find purchase with his teeth and drive Keranos to the ground. The bugbears fail to capitalize on their advantage, however, as even with the advantage of attacking a felled opponent, they fail to land a follow up blow.
The lone remaining hobgoblin attempts to fire one of his poison tipped arrows at the giant boar, but with his injuries and blood loss he lacks the strength to adequately draw his bow with enough strength to penetrate the boars thick hide. Despite the lack of injury, the boar will brook no further insult from his captors and promptly drives a ivory tusk into the hobgoblins gut, felling the creature for good.
Back at the southern entrance, the savage owlbear and restored giant ape struggle against their bonds, but Peaseblossoms entangling vegetation seems especially potent for having been summoned forth by a creature of the forest. Despite their raw physical strength, neither animal is able to free themselves. The owlbear in particular is near mad with frustration as it eyes the illusionary bunny hopping about tantalizingly just out of reach.
The entangled creatures pose no threat to the giant eagle, but one would not know that with the way it explodes forth from its captivity, surrounding Nyx in a screeching flurry of feathers and talons as it beats its wings and takes to the sky above. The commotion attracts the attention of the giant scorpion, who immediately attempts to seize the small forest gnome in its claws and skewer with its venomous tail.
With a soaring cry, the giant eagle dives out of the sky and attempts to maim the scorpion, but finds that its beak and claws largely scrape off the chitinous exoskeleton with no effect, though it does manage to score one of its armor plates enough that clear fluid starts seeping from the wounds.
Before the scorpion can respond to this new assault, Peaseblossom buzzes forward, trailing a dusting of glowing sparkles around its head. Its claws droop slowly and its tail quivers as it turns in a hesitant circle. It seems unsure of where to go or what to do.
the pixie says as she futilely attempts to pull on its claw to lead it away from everyone else.
With her concentration broken, the vines wrapped around the limbs of the giant ape and the owlbear slip back into the earth. The owlbear immediately leaps upon the illusionary rabbit and is momentarily confused to find that it has no substance. The ape, recognizing the danger, immediately tackles the monstrosity from behind. He manages to get both of his lanky arms around the owlbears forelegs and takes it to the ground, giving a howling grunt as they struggle.

"Coward!" Thosar shouts after the hobgoblin, now aloft near the treetops. He is almost unable to spit out the word before the wolf's teeth near his sword arm. The gaping maw approaches within inches before he calls out "Ablat!", dropping his sword as a wall of force erupts between the wizard's outstretched hand and his attacker's teeth.
The wolf's attack stymied at the last instant, he eyes the fleeing hobgoblin. With nearly all his arcane reserves drained, he casts a penultimate spell to keep mage within firing distance for Galen. "Approach!"

Fhiess finally rushes to Ludwig's aid to mitigate some of the wounds he had been inflicted at the front of the battle's duration. He informs the J'Raffa Paladin of what he's seen thus far, "I don't know how long my illusion will keep the Owlbear distracted, and I don't think that scorpion sees us as allies!"

His wounds a little less deepened, Ludwig says "Thanks! I can take care of the owlbear right now. Time to get on that." The J'raffa trots over to the restrained owlbear, and focusing once more on his divine energy reserves, purges its rage poison. With that done, he looks up to the battlefield as a whole for the first time in a little while to figure out where to go next and pales at the carnage. "Now, where am I needed- uhhh..."
In between the scorpion at battle with several people in animals, the goblin and dire wolf making an escape, and the small army forming around Keranos, Ludwig isn't entire sure where to go. Making a snap decision, he decides to start making his way towards Keranos.

Really though, I'm not entirely sure the best way to mount the eagle and ask it to help Galen preform a
takedown of the watchgoblin. If it's INT stat is higher than that of the ape, there is a chance it could understand Common, as the ape might as well, but it could be safer to just use Primeval Awareness to convey Galen's intentions; if it is willing, it should only be some of Galen's movement to get on, so that would still work. If Galen could save the action he would use on Primeval awareness, though, he could throw a couple helpful arrows Keranos' direction, and Sagishi could take down Thosar's assailant. Does anyone have any thoughts, and should Galen make a knowledge check on the eagle?
Interestingly enough, that is the general idea that crossed my mind when I saw that it was still around. I also immediately wanted to have Galen circle the field pelting things with arrows from the sky when I saw there was a giant eagle, but that's beyond the point.
But the Ring must be destroyed!

I'm assuming you're asking for it to come all the way to your location, but you didn't actually make that clear; I assume just a note of what you want would work, as you didn't explain that you meant the quarterstaff when Thosar said "Throw" otherwise. I just thought I should point out the current ambiguous nature of your command.
Someone should; I'm sure lots of the party members would like to know.
Oh boy. I do hope the party justifies the usage of this gif decently often.))

((Command as the spell only allows a one word statement. The spell has some standard options but you can technically use anything the GM will allow. In this case, I'm using the standard "Approach" option, which forces the target to move toward me in the most direct route possible and end its turn once it gets within 5 feet of me.))

Thosar, not wanting to face the dire wolf more than necessary, steps through the ether again to appear behind it. Noticing the battle around, he sees the eagle by Galen. Thinking it could be of help in catching the hobgoblin, he tries to remember if that can understand speech.

In spite of all the chaos exploding around him, Thosar keeps a level enough head to remember that giant eagles only speak their own bestial language, but understand Common and Auruan. It may have trouble communicating to you, but you should have no problem communicating to it.
Also, they are absolutely not fish.

((No special skill or ability; I was just checking in case, for some reason, it was obviously willing to oblige Galen in this request. Persuasion nets a lowly

If this works, what does everyone think: Horde Breaker on the horde around Keranos, shoot Thosar's dire wolf, or ready a sword strike against the watchgoblin?
A Persuasion check wouldn't use Galen's action, right? I actually looked through the ability section last week to see about intimidate and didn't find anything.))

(( Don't worry about my wolf, it's kinda screwed standing in the spike growth. I don't think you'll get close enough to the devastator to melee it, so hordebreaker is your best bet otherwise.))

((
But yeah, on second thought, the wolf is in difficult terrain anyway and would have issues getting to Thosar.))
Actually, if the devastator is trying to end it's turn within five feet of Thosar, and the eagle is flying toward the devastator, they would theoretically meet in the middle, and a readied sword swing could have its trigger condition met. This would mean that the ready action might allow for the strike to hit on the eagle's turn. Of course, Galen would be able to make another action before the watchgoblin could, so thinning the horde around Keranos would not necessarily entail allowing this guy to get away.

((Oh shit, it actually worked.))
((I think I go ahead and take my action, since shooting enemies around Keranos is probably the best thing I can do anyway (sneak attack, yay). Gonna shoot the dire wolf since I figure it might be the biggest thread.))
From his perched position in the cage Sagishi watches as Keranos gets surrounded by enemies. He loads up another bold and then darts across the camp until he is close enough to fire a shot at the monstrous wolf.
((Using dash as a bonus action to move to 12M, going diagonally twice in the beginning to stay out of reach of the scorpion. On mobile so if anybody would be so kind as to move him.))
Attack on Direwolf: 1D20+6 = [15]+6 = 21
Damage: 1D8+4+2D6 = [3]+4+[5, 2] = 14

((It seems Noisy Ninj4 and Axel are in competition for great responses to the ongoing events.
And Nezumi, with Peaseblossom's Confusion upon the scorpion, it appears Sagishi can just run on past. Would you prefer to have him run straight north?))

((Oh god yes please kill that thing. It can knock me prone which is my biggest worry about the upcoming turn. Without having to worry about that, I should be fine.
Then again, the normal wolf might also be able to knock me prone but at least it probably won't hit as hard))

((Okay, here's the map with everybody's movement so far. If that fails to kill the dire wolf, perhaps Ludwig would like to perform a takedown.
If I may ask, what's the verdict on Galen's rolls thus far?))

((Thanks for moving me. I don't think ludwig can move fast enough to get to the wolf and attack, but he could move into a position to do some serious damage to the hobgoblin.))
