This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
4 init of heckatonheire, fight hasn't started yet, I'm still recruiting, you ain't fighting this thing with less than 5 people. Say this is the last fight where you get to pick terrain, which one do you want?
Use previous rolls, still recruiting. If I can't get enough people, those who can handle two characters, would you want to create a second character? If you have to create a 2nd character then this will be the last fight, if I can get 5 or more people, then we will do this one and the next one. I know AL says you can't play two characters in the same campaign, but it is the only way to be close to a full party, which is the only way you'll even have a chance at beating this thing.
Lots of buffs and bonusesfor the party, with necessary control functions, and bonus damage contribution. Plus skills and expertise for days and Legend Lore.
If I were to reroll playing one character with the three of us I'd go Sorcerer 17 Warlock 3 and play alternate dimension Archy in a world where he never picked up the bow. And if we got a 4th who was a caster and DoubleG wanted a 5th I'd make a paladin wielding a staff... But I'm actually playing that character in another campaign currently, at level 1, not yet wielding the staff.
Maybe I could try a 20th-level Moon druid, see how good or bad Wild Shape really is. Assuming AL regulations will let me turn into a mammoth, of course.
[Edit: I'll wait to see what the fourth is or if we get a fifth. Before I pick a roll for party mechanics.]
Okay, Darth Vader
Yes, you can be a mammoth, but when you are an animal, damage is non-magical, unless you have an ability that makes the dmg magical.
Someone can take over Fenhorn if they want, if you can handle that many characters.
Recruiting is not going to happen, so everyone can play 2 characters or stick with one if you prefer, even though that would make a party of 8 and technically AL illegal, well really playing 2 characters is AL illegal anyhow, but this isn't an AL game. This will test how beatable this creature is.
To everyone, when you are ready to fight, please make a post saying so and roll init with your 2nd character, and let me know what the init of your 1st character was as well, so I don't have to search for it. When creating 2nd character... Xanthars guide is now legal.
Hecatoncheire was 6 init.
This is the last fight, and I hope you all enjoyed the game encounters.
Dang...gotta think of what I want to double-up with lol

If were all going to run 2, should we pair the inits play both on the average of the 2?
No, separate inits, averaging the 2 encourages metagaming mix-maxing and stuff. Oh, this guy has bad init +0/1, etc, I'll give my other guy alert and make him a gloomstalker ranger with 20 dex and wis giving him giving him +15 to init giving you no less than an average of 8 between the two characters

Shall we roll up or just use our previous rolls?

Your lack of faith is disturbing.
Anyway I can roll out a new toon in a flash.

Well, why create? Don't we have the sheets? We could use the PC we already have, Aetoris and Fenhorn.
Personally, I'd rather play a character of my own devising. (And devising wizards never seem to get the results I want)

Here's pretty much what I'd make for a caster (if I were playing two characters and we were out a caster):
