Strahd uses a legendary action to move 30 feet, and is now deep among the eaves of the ceiling.
Sid
Sid intuits that Strahd is hiding on the ceiling, and spends 2 Sorcery Points to cast Detect Thoughts as a bonus action. However, he chooses the wrong area, and detect nothing.
Frustrated, Sid casts Fire Storm, blanketing virtually the entire ceiling in deadly fire, inflicting (7d10) 45 fire damage, DC 18. Strahd fails the check, but chooses to succeed instead using Legendary Resistance, suffering only 22 damage.

Kaine
Alaera appears. Kaine casts Transfusion to heal her and Sid for 30 points each, losing 60 HP himself.
Alaera
Alaera casts Augury, asking whether it would behoove Sid to cast a Cone of Cold in a given direction (about a 50% chance that it would: 45 = yes). She nods to him. The entire exchange was telepathic.
Sid
Sid whips out his Staff of Power, and begins to channel cold from it. The immense 60-ft cone will easily overlap Strahd, and the damage could be lethal. Strahd attempts to interrupt (22 vs Sid's 4, he wins).
Strahd leaps forward, charging Sid from invisible, attacking with unarmed (20+9), critically hitting for 14 damage plus a grapple, which interrupts Sid's spell.
Kaine's readied action goes off.
He uses a Great Slam. In Devil Trigger mode. With the Oathblade.
His hand sizzling from the pain of wielding the good blade (he suffers 42 holy damage this round), he swings it at the form of Strahd, with disadvantage (13+13), hitting a 26, inflicting 72 slashing and 11 radiant damage (Strahd suffers 22 due to vulnerability).
The holy blade penetrates Strahd's heart, and he dissolves into mist. But even as the mist creeps away to find a home in the vampire's coffin, Sid wraps it inside a Wall of Force.
As it creeps up the wall to escape, Alaera opens the jar she readied for this encounter, violently sucking in all air. The mist is captured, and she seals it tightly.
