Woohoo, victory!
Medicine isn't really a... thing in Dwarf Fortress, but maybe we can pull something off. Tend to our wounded as best we can, free that kid, and go looting. Then, let Edi rest for an hour or so while we stand watch... and make sure that kid doesn't run off on us while we wait. He'd be bogeyman food out there.
+1Woo, Edi lucked out!+1
As the others are saying, have Edi go grab that crossbow. While he does that, focus fire on the... hm. On the lasher, let's say. Whips are overpowered.
Edi's superman flight pose makes me happy.
+1. Lashers are super scary.
Keep firing at the Crossbow woman. She's the biggest threat.
Shoot her in the face for threatening us.

and fly!

Insist that the human will have to wear feathers at some point in our adventure, to keep our fethery theme of course.+1
Talk to everyone at the bar and ask if they'd like to join you in rescuing the missing child kidnapped by those villainous bandits. More blades and shields between you and the enemy will help bring you swift victory and you can always kick people out once you find more willing Kea-folk. Even if people refuse it won't hurt to work on your social graces and increase your reputation with the locals. As you leave the bar and make your way towards the bandit camp improvise some songs. Sing of Victory and Justice.+1
"So what exactly is the goal of our adventure exactly?"
I assume his cousin his also a barn owl man. Let's go find him! And look for other bird people on the way we can try to recruit. Persistence is the key!

unfortunately, everyone calls herThe CrackerCrackers for some reason.
Undulate arrhythmically at the ankylosaurid in an attempt to disrupt its innate motion and create a damaging pressure surge within. Try to convince your companions to do the same for maximum effect.
I imagine it like using a hula hoop without the hoop and without any coordination.
+1 creative thinking!
Also, since shields block all sorts of nasty things, and our dwarf buddy equipped our only shield, stay behind him – but not directly behind, in case the beast has a line attack – and make sure he draws the aggro. No idea what his skills are, but he's still the best tank we've got. Kobold and goblin circle in opposite directions looking for strikes of opportunity.
And, as always, avoid becoming Tired!
Old Norse term is "dvergr" (plural: "dvergar".)
