This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The Ettin's two heads roar in unison as Valrish rushes up to attack. It raises both of its weapons over its head and brings them crashing down on the dragonborn at the same time."SMASH!" they say together.
Battleaxe on Valrish: Attack: 8 Slashing Damage: 18 (Half damage due to rage) Morningstar on Valrish: Attack: 12 Piercing Damage: 16 As the battleaxe slams into Valrish it shoves him just out of the path of the Morningstar which misses him. "HEY! No Fair!" shouts the head wielding the morningstar.
The derro cease their chanting and move to assist the Ettin. Two of them draw crossbows and shoot up at Oorr. The third reaches out to Valrish to knock him over with a hooked spear.
Crossbow 1 on Oorr: Attack: 18 Damage: 7 Crossbow 2 on Oorr: Attack: 6 Damage: 4 One of the bolts strikes the Aaracokra in the side.
Hooked Spear on Valrish: 10 The derro misses, the Ettin getting in his way.

Jimjar moves on the opposite side, close to the cage and try to hide in the rocks, then releases his arrow onto the double-headed dog. Hide: 12 bow 1: 24 damage 3 bow 2:24 damage 6 sneak attack: damage 6
Grimnir, still enlarge from his latest mushroom snack, run up the stairs 2 by 2. A large creature with 2 heads is occupied by Valrish, Grimnir decides then to take care of the several derros on his left. Running to the first Derro: Staff attack:20 damage 10 + 4 Using a ki point for Flurry of Blows Fist attack:12 damage 6 + 3 >>> if Hit DEX save DC12 or Prone Second Fist attack (rolling with advantage in case the derro is on the floor):24 damage 3 + 1 >>> if Hit DEX save DC12 or Prone
I charge forward, conjure a flaming sphere on Narrak's position, and snap at Derendil to attack.
Derendil charges the nearest derro, swinging at its head. 23 and 20 to hit, dealing 7 and 6 damage.
Derendil rushes up to the platform and swats a derro with his massive claw, sending the small creature flying and slamming into a cave wall, where it slumps limply to the ground.
The flaming sphere erupts next to Narrak and slams into him. (DEX Save: 18) Damage: 9 Narrak dives to the side, narrowly missing being engulfed by the flames (Takes 4 damage).

Grimnir, still enlarge from his latest mushroom snack, run up the stairs 2 by 2. A large creature with 2 heads is occupied by Valrish, Grimnir decides then to take care of the several derros on his left. Running to the first Derro: Staff attack:10 damage 9 + 4 Using a ki point for Flurry of Blows Fist attack:15 damage 5 + 4 >>> if Hit DEX save DC12 or Prone Second Fist attack (rolling with advantage in case the derro is on the floor):8 damage 6 + 1 >>> if Hit DEX save DC12 or Prone
Jimjar expertly threads arrow through the cage bars into the death dog, who yelps and growls viciously at the deep gnome, then proceeds to throw itself against the cage door with even greater fury.
Grimnir misses with his staff attacking a derro, but then slams a fist into its face. (Dex Save: 15) The derro keeps its footing, snarls and then trains its hooked spear on Grimnir.
Narrak runs away from the flaming sphere, crossing the ritual circle towards the area the Ettin came from, as he does so, a shimmer of light encircles him as he casts mage armor on himself.
The Death Dog, foam dripping from both of its mouths, slams into the door of the cage. (Athletics: 8) The door bulges out, but the latch holds. It will probably not sustain another attack.
Valrish attacks the Ettin once again with his scimitars:
Attack: 15 Damage: 12 Attack: 17 Damage: 5
Eldeth shoots once again at the Death Dog:
Attack: 16 Damage: 6 Attack: 10 Damage: 8
Valrish slashes through the Ettin, cutting it from right to left and back with his swords, while Edith sinks one shot into the dog.
The Ettin roars, "Stupid dragon thing!" and brings both of its weapons above its head again to swing down on Valrish.
Battleaxe on Valrish: Attack: 12 Slashing Damage: 9 Morningstar on Valrish: 14 Piercing Damage: 15 The strikes glance off Valrish's armor and shield, doing no damage to him. The Ettin (read: DM) screams in frustration.
The steeder jumps over the back of the ettin, biting at it, while Oorr flyes over one of the derro, shortsword and magical dagger drawn. Zippy Attack: 12 Damage: 17
The steeder jumps over the back of the ettin, biting at it, while Oorr flyes over one of the derro, shortsword and magical dagger drawn. Zippy Attack: 12 Damage: 17
Zippy sinks his teeth into the thick neck of the ettin, Grula-Munga. Grula-Munga throws its head back and yells in pain, swatting at the steeder behind it. The derro rush over to assist the etting, using their hooked spears to stab at Zippy.
Derro 1 on Zippy: Attack: 9 Damage: 6 Derro 2 on Zippy: Attack: 19 Damage: 3 One of them manages to nick the steeder's leg.
I slam the sphere into Narrak again (4), frostbite the injured derro (1), and tell Derendil to attack the uninjured derro (21 and 17 to hit; 4 and 5 damage).

Narrak Dex Save vs Sphere: (10) Narrak takes the brunt of the sphere, though its trajectory seems to be somewhat off, causing minimal damage. The derro suffer cold and claws but stay standing.
Jimjar tries to hide again in the rocks, then releases his arrow onto the double-headed dog. Hide: 23 bow 1: 22 damage 3 bow 2:17 damage 6 sneak attack: damage 5
Grimnir, is assessing the situation. "The 2 small derros do not seem dangerous but putting the large creature with 2 heads on the floor could help Valrish". Grimnir runs toward the giant, place himself opposite to the dragonborn and delivers 3 attacks
Staff attack:16 damage 10 + 2 Using a ki point for Flurry of Blows Fist attack:19 damage 6 + 1 (Enlarged)>>> if Hit DEX save DC12 or Prone Second Fist attack:23 damage 6 + 2 (Enlarged) >>> if Hit DEX save DC12 or Prone
Following the hits, Grimnir retreat 10ft away from the giant, getting some cover behind the crates (mobile feat)
(OOC: I am not sure but one of the derro might have an attack of opportunity against me - depending on my path to reach the ettin then retreating)

The death dog continues to take a beating within the cage as it frantically tries to break free. Grimnir's fury is felt by the Ettin as it receives a punishing series of hits. Dex Save 1: 7 Dex Save 2: 1
With a resounding thud, the Ettin falls back on to the ground, grunting and shouting as the dust flies up around it.
Narrak rushes up behind the Ettin, casting a spell at the formidable monk (Cast hold person on Grimnir, WIS Save, DC 13).
The dog makes one final push at the door (Athletics: 9), finally breaking the latch an releasing it from its cage. It rushes around to attack Jimjar. Bite Attack 1: Attack: 7 Damage: 5 Bite Attack 2: Attack: 9 Damage: 5
Fortunately Jimjar has time to jump out of the way of the dog's two snapping heads.
Grimnir muscles tense and cannot respond anymore to his will. In the corner of his eyes, he can see the derro that have cast the spell smilling - "he will pay for this, if i'm staying alive..." Only 10ft away from the Ettin and with the impossibility to dodge, Grimnir suddenly feels that the end is near and pray for that his dragonborn companion will be able to help him...
Valrish seeing Grimnir fall under Narrak's spell, attacks the Ettin with all his might, almost Recklessly "I'm the one you're gonna fight, you damn giant!"
Attack: 12 Damage: 12 Attack: 22 Damage: 11 (Substract 6 from this damage, I forgot to take it away from the roll)
Eldeth shoots one arrow at the Death Dog and another one at the Ettin:
Attack (against the Ettin): 23 Damage: 9 Attack (against the Death Dog): 5 Damage: 8
Eldeth's bolt strikes against the floor of the death dog as it continues to lunge at Jimjar. The Etting screams in pain as she pivots and shoots a bolt into his meaty thigh.
Valrish gets in a lick against the Ettin as well, just before it swings its weapons down against the newest threat, Grimnir.
Battleaxe on Grimnir: Attack: 12 Slashing Damage: 12 Morningstar on Grimnir: Attack: 20 Piercing Damage: 12 + Crit Damage 3

Oorr flies forward, taking position 15 feet above the edge of the mesa and loses a bolt aiming at the ettin.
Attack: 16 Damage: 4
Zippy silently follows him from the ceiling, remaining in the shadows.
The Ettin's two heads roar in unison as Valrish rushes up to attack. It raises both of its weapons over its head and brings them crashing down on the dragonborn at the same time."SMASH!" they say together.
