Kulogall - The firebolt impacts the gravely wounded, but also heavily armored Hobgoblin. Its armor prevents the flame from doing any further harm to it.
Ariana - The Hobgoblin growls right back at you and deftly deflects your attacks.
Gorik - The cage screeches as the rusted metal gives way. The cage door flies open and you are free. To the north you can see someone standing alone. The flickering torches set in the northern wall behind them cast them in silhouette and you can't quite tell if it's one of your captors or not. To the south-east is a pitch black passage that leads off into darkness. You also see another cage next to the one you were in. A dark shape clings to the bars of the cage and calls out to you, "You're free! Help me out of this cage! Please!"
Gorik is up! You are represented by the yellow circle with the G inside it on the left side of the map.
Gorik looks toward the dark shape and with quiet rumble he says, "Shut it or you'll get me caught! What use do I have for another prisoner? What can you offer if I let you free?"
Gorik - The figure in the other cage whispers urgently, "I-I can give you coin! If you free me and help me find my belongings I will repay you!" The voice sounds masculine and as you edge closer you can see that it appears to be an elven man in disheveled purple robes. He stares out between the bars with wide, fearful eyes, "Please, friend Dragonborn. Don't leave me here."

Scout 3 will attempt longbow shots at Ruby and Ariana, Ariana has half-cover (+2 AC) from the Hobgoblin. The first arrow hits Ruby and she falls to the ground with a gasp of pain. The second arrow misses Ariana by quite a bit.

Elwyn hurries forward toward Kulogall and the others. "Noo, Ruby." He cries out as he sees the halfling laying on the ground. He furiously wills forth a thrashing tentacle behind the Hobgoblin standing over Ruby before blasting it with blue crackling eldritch force.
Movement: move to square east of Daveth Bonus action: Tentacle: 9 Cold: 8 Action: Eldritch blast: 24 Force: 7 Twilight sanctuary if needed: 3
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Elwyn - The hobgoblin bashes away the tentacle with its shield but it is left wide open for your eldritch blast. Its chest crumples from the force damage and it is dead before it hits the ground.
Hobgoblin 1 is DEAD.
Daveth will also shout, "Ruby!" as he runs over to her side. He will attempt to apply pressure to her wounds and stabilize her. Ruby gasps and coughs up blood before passing out. Her breathing is shaky but her pulse is steady.
Medicine check: 18
Sanbalet will cackle as he watches Ruby brought low. His hands weave complex patterns in the air and suddenly alight with flame. He casts Scorching Ray at Daveth, sending all three fiery beams his way. Two beams sizzle as they impact the moist cave wall behind Daveth. The third is deflected as Daveth manages to raise his shield in time as he crouches over Ruby.
Attack: 13 Damage: 6
Attack: 9 Damage: 10
Attack: 7 Damage: 6
All - Ruby is Stabilized with 0 HP. She will come to consciousness in 4 hours unless otherwise healed.
Wake - Sanbalet cries out in anger and pain as the flame-like radiance settles upon him. He tries in vain to snuff it out with his hands, but only injures them.
Sanbalet DEX Saving Throw: 10
Scout 4 will fire two arrows at Daveth. The first just barely misses and the second crumples against the soft glow of the Twilight Sanctuary that surrounds him. The glow is weakened considerably, but he suffers no damage.
Kulogall notes that Sanbalet is the major threat at this point, he moves to the southwest, to the square just east of Ruby, releasing a warbling mass of chaotic energy at Sanbalet. He uses his inspiration to try to make sure that this bolt hits.
Chaos bolt : Attack: 14 Damage: 9 + 5 additional damage. The damage is felt in a rolling wave of thunder. "Rrrrrraaah!" Kulogall shouts in a primal yell at Sanbalet.
After casting the spell he flies 10 feet to the northwest landing behind Daveth, avoiding any opportunity attacks.

Gorik scoffs, "No funny business, elf. I haven't eaten in some time. I could use a tasty snack should you give reason to eat you." Gorik attempts to break the cage holding the elf: 18
Kulogall - The chaos bolt hisses as it crosses the cavern. It impacts Sanbalet's chest with a thunderous BOOM. His countenance is much less confident now and he seems ready to bolt.
Ariana - The staff smashes into the Scout, breaking his collarbone with a SNAP. Your kick fractures his sternum and he cries out in pain. He's gasping and unsteady on his feet, but he still stands.
Gorik - The elf's eyes go wide at your comment and he backs away from the bars of his cage, "W-Wait... I..." Whatever else he says is eclipsed by the loud screeching of the cage door being ripped away. This cage is more rusted than the one you were confined to and you wrench the door away with a grunt. The elf cowers in the corner of his cage, clearly afraid of you. After a few moments pass and you haven't tried to eat him, he will take a few tentative steps out of the cage, "I'll follow you. I'm unarmed and I'm afraid I won't be much help should we encounter trouble..." The elf dusts off his rumpled purple robes and waits for your direction.
Scout 3 will disengage and retreat to the southeast corner of the cave to hide behind the barrels there (Half-cover, +2 to AC and DEX Saves).
The first thing Ruby sees before getting up is Daveth shielding her. "Thank you, Daveth. You probably saved my life..." She says, mad at herself for almost dying, again.
Ruby will fall back right behind Daveth, helping him guard their rear.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Elwyn advances again, weaving between his companions until he can peer into the cave seeing Sanbalet the evil hiding cowardly in a corner. He commands the spectral tentacle to move closer and then it thrashes at Sanbalet, while Elwyn uses his tentacle-shaped wand to fire a blast of crackling blue force towards him. "This is for the innocent lives you took Sanbalet."
Movement: Move to square east of Wake peering in on Sanbalet, hopefully still in some cover. Bonus action: Tentacle to square between the scouts attacking Sanbalet 10' away. Tentacle: 18 Cold: 3 Action: Eldritch blast: 17 Force: 5
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ruby - Daveth smiles and helps you to stand, "No problem, you'd do the same for me I'm sure."
Elwyn - The tentacle slams into the bolts of cloth behind which Sanbalet cowers, just missing him. Your eldritch blast finds its mark though and you can see that he is badly wounded at this point.
Daveth will rush forth and take two swings at Sanbalet with his longsword. The first swing knocks aside his frail attempts to defend himself and the second impacts with the flat of the blade on his temple. There is a sizable gash from the blow, but it appears to be non-fatal. Sanbalet falls to the slimy cave floor in a heap.
Attack: 20 Damage: 4
Attack: 14 Damage: 8
Sanbalet is unconscious. He will regain consciousness in 2 hours unless otherwise healed.
All - The other two Scouts look to Sanbalet's still form and then to each other. The wounded Scout drops his weapon to the floor and shouts, "Parley!" as he raises his hands above his head. The other follows suit and the first Scout repeats, "Parley! We've no wish to die today!"

Wake is torn. He wants to position himself to protect the rear from whatever is coming from the West, but he knows if he moves that direction, Daveth and others who would move in to secure the scouts and Sanbalet, would fall outside of Selune’s sanctuary.
He will reluctantly move forward 15’ into the storeroom (DM’s discretion) and say to Ruby and Kulogall, “Please be careful. There’s an unknown threat behind you.”
He will ReadySacred Flame to descend on anyone who threatens the group.
Kulogall - The firebolt impacts the gravely wounded, but also heavily armored Hobgoblin. Its armor prevents the flame from doing any further harm to it.
Ariana is up! Followed by Gorik, then Scout 3.
Ariana growls at the hobgoblin before swinging her quarterstaff in an upward arc to its jaw.
Quarterstaff Attack: 8 Damage: 7
She then side kicks it in the chest.
Unarmed strike kick Attack: 8 Damage: 4
She continues to stand her ground.
