Bonus action cast Spirit Shroud.

Until the spell ends, any attack you make deals 1d8 extra damage when you hit a creature within 10 feet of you. This damage is radiant, necrotic, or cold (your choice when you cast the spell). Any creature that takes this damage can’t regain hit points until the start of your next turn.

In addition, any creature of your choice that you can see that starts its turn within 10 feet of you has its speed reduced by 10 feet until the start of your next turn.

Attack #1 - To hit: (1d20+10)[19], to damage: (1d8+8)[14] slashing damage, plus (2d8)[9] radiant damage. If the attack lands, smite for an additional (3d8)[14] radiant damage.

Attack #2 - hit: (1d20+10)[22], to damage: (1d8+8)[11] slashing damage, plus (2d8)[11] radiant damage. If the attack lands, smite for an additional (3d8)[16] radiant damage.

Merry takes some more radiant damage and forgets about concentrating on keeping Lanius invisible. "Darn true sight," he mutters. He decides to go for the big guns, and a ray of force energy streams out at the paladin from Merry's fingertip.

But then he retreats up into Lanius' rope thingamabob.

Hyra's spell causes the paladin's sword to heat in his hands, while Moradin's hammer hits him in the shoulder (26, 8). Jessica's spirits surround her, but her weapon fails to get past the old warrior's defenses.
Lanius summons a Rope Trick and climbs inside to get away.
Merry fires a spell at the paladin, then retreats inside the Rope Trick. A cloud of dust floats off the old man as some of his flesh vanishes.

He awaits atop a small mountain near the city as you approach. There are no trees, and no cover for any except perhaps Lanius to hide within. He is 700' away, there appear to be several of him (mirror image), and something glowing floats about his brow, while a shield of flames circles his position.

Jessica readies an attack. Lanius fires an arrow which hits. Merry Dimension Doors Jessica up (from outside Counterspell range), swinging her blade and scoring a hit, blinding the wizard as she falls to the ground (fall damage? or Feather Fall?)

Smite and Blinding smite for 33 damage.
He is blinded.

The Celestial would score two hits against the blinded wizard, but he casts Shield, turning them away at the last moment.

The wizard fires a mote of radiant energy at Merry, then ascends and vanishes from view (Greater Invisibility).
