I'll do a summary at the end for ease. Starting Monday, 24 hour timer before your character just does a auto-action or delays and does nothing.)
Round 1 (Begin)
Setup: Keegan is down the tunnel, about 25 feet away from Emund and Yorvalor. He slams his shoulder into the mason wall, a few bricks crumbling down, but not enough to attempt to squeeze through yet. Emund and Yorvalor are at a intersection of the sewer system. One direction (let's say North for sake of simplicity), comes a faint light and the sounds of rushing people heading towards you. South, the tunnel continues moving. East, is the 25 feet small tunnel that Keegan is down and slamming into. Muck and filth is covering the floor (disadvantage on stealth rolls).
“Joy.” Emund pulls his robes up to his calves as he angles himself to see down the corridor where Keegan is knocking against the cemented wall. “We’ve a visit coming, Keegan.”
He readjusts and throws a heavy mitt onto Yorvalor, offering guidance, and then readies his spear, facing the coming lights.
”We can run or we can fight.” He tries to remember where the other path in the tunnels leads (History: 10).
"Joy indeed brother Emund. Perhaps we should go to Keegan, and receive whomever is coming together."

Emund, you stop to think. The sewers run all over. From where you are, the easiest way out would be going through whatever is coming towards you. Turning tail and running could work. It'd be loud though. While you don't know exactly where it goes, you could attempt to hide. Or may end up in a dead-end.
If their is time for another action, Keegan will take another action towards the wall. "Well, since they already know we're here", Keegan will step back, take out his bow and draw it back with out knocking an arrow. loosing the string a bright green flash streaks towards the brick wall.
Yorvalor takes out his rapier and readies Faerie Fire if he determines that the folks coming are hostile. He will try to place the spell to light up as many creatures as possible. "So, Brother Emund, are we standing our ground?"

"Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life."
A group of 5 guards come around the corner. One in the middle holding a torch.
Crossbow Guards DEX v Faerie Fire: 19 Heavy Guards DEX v Faerie Fire: 19
The two with crossbows turn their attention to the one that just fired off a spell (Yorvalor) Crossbow Attack: 19 Damage: 3 Crossbow Attack: 20 Damage: 2
The two heavier looking guards, with swords and shields at the ready, move into melee combat; one on Yorvalor as the crossbow bolts sail by, and the other on Emund as the bolts cross by. "Surrender and lay down your arms!" one shouts.
Summary: Keegan blasts the wall, casting the spell with some arcane words. The bolt stretches and demolishes a further part of the wall. Creating a bit of room to move through. Emund offer's Guidance to Yorvalor. Yorvalor readies a faerie fire spell, but it doesn't seem to hold on to the group of city guards. The guards turn their attention, sending crossbow bolts flying into Yorvalor (5 damage). The other two move and are now in melee with Emund and Yorvalor.
Round 2 (Begin)
Setup: About 40 feet away from Yorvalor and Emund, are three separate guards. One is holding a torch, but the other two have crossbows. A heavy armored guard is now in melee with Emund and Yorvalor. About 20ish feet away from Yorvalor and Emund, is Keegan down the tunnel that was walled off. The majority of the crude wall destroyed.
"Seems like we are, Yorvalor," Emund says as he begins to mutter words of ill will, waving an open palmed hand in front of him. He closes his fist and pulls down, casting Bane on the three guards.
"You seems like a rather heavily armed force to be combing the sewers," he says to the heavy guard.
Yorvalor faces the guard in front of him. "Hey there meat slab, aren't you in the wrong place?" Yorvalor casts Dissonant Whispers on the guard. (DMG: 7). He says to Emund. "Time to show this folks some manners." Yorvalor gives Emund a Bardic Inspiration.

"Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life."
Turning around and pulling back his bow again, Keegan will cast Hex as a bonus action on the armored guard (choosing DEX as the ability the guard had disadvantage on), then shoot an Eldritch Blast at the ceiling just behind the armored guard. "GET BACK!!!"
Three Guards in the back v Bane (DC 13) : 19, 19, 14 Soldier v D. Whispers (DC 13): 2
One of the Soldier falls down dead from a combination of Keegan's blast and Yorvalor's spell. The soldier he was fighting near turns his attention to Yorvalor first, shouting out to the other guards, before swinging his blade twice at him. The crossbow men take aim and fire rounds at Emund.
Summary: Emund casts Bane over at the three crossbow men, but they don't seem to be impacted by it's effect. Yorvalor strikes with Dissonant Whispers at the one soldier fighting him, before a eldrict blast comes down the tunnel. The soldier turns his shield to deflect, but the beam just sneaks by and strikes him dead. The other soldier turns his attention to Yorvalor, swinging his blade twice, only one managing to hit (3). The crossbow guards take aim and launch another volley, this time just at Emund, but the bolts glance across his shield and armor, deflected harmlessly.
Round 3 (Begin)
Setup: The Soldier between Emund and Yorvalor continues to fight despite his dead friend beside him. Keegan is still down the one corridor while the crossbow men are about 40 feet away from Emund and Yorvalor. The third still just holding the torch and yet to engage just yet.
Yorvalor sees the guard falls down dead, and the other slashes him and misses the other strike. He wickedly smiles to the other guard "What about you join your friend and stay down?" He casts Dissonant Whispers on the guard that is still standing. (DMG: 10).

"Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life."
Emund looks to the guard who holds the torch and shakes his head. They'd killed someone who could've answered questions before and it seemed as though guards patrolling somewhere unusual might have a fair bit of knowledge worth knowing.
He adjusts his frown to one of the two guards with crossbows and holds out a hand and casts sacred flame. Shouting at Yorvalor, he offers a healing word (4) and the word carries a depth and strength beyond Emund's alone (Yorvalor can use his reaction to make a melee attack immediately).
"Strongly recommend you quit this now," Emund barks to the guard with the torch (Intimidate: 21).
"The way is clear behind us! The wall is down!" Keegan shouts, while taking aim with his bow again, casting Eldritch Blast at the crossbow guard down the hall (EB has a range of 120 ft, if the crossbow guards are too far way, direct the attack at the armored guard)
Crossbow #1 Dex v Sacred Flame: 21, 7 Soldier v Dissonant Whispers: 8
The Soldier stumbles back about 30 feet from Yorvalor's Whispers. He hears Emund's words, but, seeing then another spell streak by him towards his friends, he resolves. "I gave you the chance to surrender!"
(Yorvalor: You do get a AOO)
(Assuming Yorvalor's AOO does not kill the Soldier...) The Soldier takes a step back into melee; swinging his blade twice at Yorvalor once again. Longsword Attack: 7 Damage: 2 Longsword Attack: 4 Damage: 2
Keegan now having moved out of the tunnel he was down, is in prime range of the Crossbowmen. Crossbow Attack: 10 Damage: 3 Crossbow Attack: 13 Damage: 3
The one holding the torch takes out his shortsword, and rushes into the melee with the soldier.
If the Soldier Survives AOO (18 AC, need 7 HP of damage to finish off)...
A sacred flame dances across one of the crossbow guards, flames erupting over it's body. There's a scream of pain, but the guard is still alive (8). A wave of healing moves across Yorvalor (+4) from Emund. Yorvalor casts Dissonant Whispers on the Soldier in melee (10). The Soldier backs up, taking the sudden attack from Yorvalor before listening to Emund's words. He's shaken, glancing between the dead and hearing the scream. Keegan moves out of the tunnel, taking a shot. The beam of raw magic crackling down the hall but impacting against the wall. That Soldier looks, figuring that he cannot flee a group of witches, and finds his resolve. He steps back into melee, swinging twice at Yorvalor, his blade cutting deep on each blow (12). A crossbow strikes Keegan (9).
The other two crossbow guards take aim at Keegan, firing off another volley. One manages to strike (8), with the other hitting the wall. The last guard who's been holding the torch grabs his sword and rushes into melee. "We cannot let them flee!"
