Honor's hammer swing sends a sharp crack through the crystal's surface, splintering shards of it to the ground, but the second one is repelled by a soft magic force that stops it before impact. Aanash and Svek both deliver strikes that weaken the surface of it further, coating both book and crystal in acid and then thunderously whipping it with the tail. Its magic persists, and while Adam is incanting a blessing, the crystal is channeling its own magic, animating yet more tomes that fly across the room to burn and blast the party.

Honor crits, then misses. The narration is just narration, the low attack roll did it, rather than any special power.
Magic Resistance doesn't save the crystal from Acid Splash hitting. The book is barely still animated.
Aanash hits.
Adam blesses.

The crystal animates 3 more tomes - two on fire, one that fires a bolt of force, as opposed to the last necrotic one.

The fiery tomes deal the following at the start of your turns:-
Aanash: 4 fire
Honor: 4 and 4 fire
Svek: 4 and 2 fire
Adam: 3 fire

The two bolt-flingers miss with their attacks.

The ice wall encroaches.

Party's up.
