“My words,” | ‘My thoughts,’ | My actions
Mery accepts the vial from the alchemist and gives the man a brief smile as she slips it into her backpack. "Thank you, sir. I'm sure these will be quite useful."
Seeing the draconian appear next to her, she signals Handsome forward about 15 feet (F/G-2/3) and, signaling the warhorse to dodge, unshoulders her shortbow. She peers in the direction of the dragon, but in all the smoke, can't make out anything, even with her Darkvision.
Nocking an arrow, she draws, takes a moment to aim at the dragon, and looses. However, a puff of smoke blows across her face as she does so, causing her to cough and miss the shot.
The cat, from its perch atop Handsome's hindquarters, lets out a questioning, "Mrow?"
"No, I didn't hit it," Mery tells the creature. "And I'm not sure you're going to be all that safe back there. I don't want to have to tell your owner you died because I didn't protect you. Now, unless you want me to stuff you in my saddlebags, go hide! "
This seems to irritate the cat, as it turns its ears back and lets out a low-pitched "Meow", stubbornly refusing to budge an inch.

Bardic Inspiration (3 per long rest, for 1d6)
As a bonus action, a creature (other than yourself) within 60 ft. that can hear you gains an inspiration die (1d6). For 10 minutes, the creature can add it to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw. This can be added after seeing the roll, but before knowing the outcome.
Heat Metal
Until the spell ends (up to 1 minute), you can use a bonus action on each of your subsequent turns to cause this damage (1d8 fire damage for each level the spell is cast at, minimum 2nd level) again.
