The familiar flashed upon Torus’s shield-arm once more. Its prior descent, however, vexed the troupe’s expectant ambush, as the horde, now alerted, bellowed verbal alarms.  

“Defenders! Many of! Run!”

His fang suddenly gleamed with a furnace’s heat, the staff whispering dim light into the fracas before them. He witnessed the paladin quickly circumscribe the hesitating man, as the other arsonists fled. The druid drew out his axillary net. He beckoned his avian help-meet to lend wing to aid his ropy trap, hoping to not only fish, but web the man. The familiar hovered along the elder’s outstretched hand; talon soon clasped one end of the mesh, mimicking and gripping the frays with its master, issuing a taut lattice of hemp, jute and sisal. 

Then, the duo raced.

Yoked, together, by the uncoiled strands of briny fiber, between parrot and pirate, the saline squad convened upon the scoundrel, with Brannor flanking, readying for the next twinkling opportunity. The net was cast upon the quivering gent. The released twined weave dangled through the air, hoping, to land upon the bloke, end this scuffle and subsequently learn quickly the machinations of their dastardly enterprise.  

[hider=Mechanics:]
Since Torus and his familiar are next to each other in the initiative order, they will coordinate their efforts to preserve their action economy.

Torus will cast Shillelagh, as a bonus action.

The familiar will uses its free interact object action to freely grasp the net, making it taut between Torus and itself. They will then move 30 feet in front of the hesitating man, who is within 35 feet, per my calculations. The familiar will then use the HELP action as its main action to provide Advantage to Brannor, before Torus' next turn, alongside Brannor’s position who is also providing Flanking Advantage to Torus this turn, with a non-proficient Net throw at a natural [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/2635]1[/url] and an [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/2636]8[/url], to hopefully encapsulate the enemy within 5 feet. If successful, the gent becomes restrained.

Both the familiar and Torus, provide Flanking Advantage to Torus' and Brannor’s likely Attack of Opportunity.
