Initiative  18 he gets ready to cast spike growth

 Tempe wanted to cast spike growth at the goblins but he finds that this may be more urgent  He cast it 

"Keep the creature in the spike growth." When a creature moves into or within the area, it takes 2d4 piercing damage for every 5 feet it travels.

Tempe moves back trying to stay out of reach.

 (Presumably this is cast about 20ft from the line you drew, with total covering 40ft distance?)

Raising his head from being engrossed in the fascinating map, Z is a little startled at first. In his haste, he reflexively choses to cast Eldritch Blast as bis first move:

Bolt 1 Attack: 9 Damage: 5

Bolt 2 Attack: 14 Damage: 9

If the creature is already <40 ft from us, Z will use his telekinetic bonus action to shove it 5ft back. (DC 16 STR). If this happens, the creature will incur the 2d4 damage from Tempe's spell. (And will the suffer this damage again when moving forward later to make up the lost ground)

He then also retreats a little to ensure he stay near the back of the group.

(terrible rolls!)

Crinder's Perception: 10

(Good news and Bad news.)

(Good news.) The Crinder doesn't notice the spiked growth and enters the first 5 feet with a screech, it then plows 20 feet further toward you with multiple screeches. (It gets 25 feet into the 40 foot area.)

It takes 29 piercing damage.

(Bad news.) Both of the eldritch beams miss.

(Randall is up.)

Crinder's STR: 17

Randall:

Moving up but behind the chalk line, Randall says, “I will hold the line against it,” as he conjures a ghostly mace to smite the creature from a distance.

Move to behind the chalk line to be in the front tank against the creature.
