Vakiel will step in and if I can get to the spellcaster I’ll take a swing (assuming rage is still up? Unsure as DM said combat ended but we are still engaging?)
Attack: 25 Damage: 18
if I can’t get past the rats and shifter, I’ll pull a javelin from my back and hurl it at him
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Plenty of room. While Grimbald struggles with his jammed hand crossbow, Vakiel moves quickly up to Augustin and the spellcaster and slices his greatsword down into the goblin's body with such force the blade only stops when it is nearly all the way through, almost cutting the creature in half. The mage armor never stood a chance.
Because Vakiel is raging he did not consider the rats, who are triggered by the scent of blood and the proximity to Vakiel and Augustin and moving to attack.

Augistin is going to take his time and pay attention to the room, noting his peers engaging with the rats. He is on the lookout for any further threats and will engage them if he finds them. He is a bit jittery.
Grimbald moves into a corner to prevent being flanked, stomps his feet and lets out repeated squirrel 'bark' in a territorial display of dominance of these oversized distant rodent cousins. Then hurls a hand axe at what he considers the alpha rat. Attack: 6 Damage: 2 If they do not move to him he will repeat. Otherwise sword and shield attack.
The giant rat rat dodges Stryke'sthorn whip. Annoyed it charges at him, not realising it will give Vakiel the chance to use his reaction to do an opportunity attack.
If it makes it to Stryke it tries to chomp on him with its oversized incisors. Attack: 11 Damage: 3
Grimbald's handaxe misses the rat he was aiming at, and the axe head and handle both break on the rocks. It was such a poor shot the rat doesn't even know Grimbald was aiming at it.
Vakiel cuts a giant rat in half. He needs to make an opportunity attack against the rat that ran off to attack Stryke.
Augustin ignores the two rats near him and peers around for anything of interest. Where Grimbald's handaxe struck the rubble it dislodged a rock which moved and he can see a dusty dagger handle with the blade buried in the rubble still.
Esa casts fire bolt at one of the rats near the paladin and barbarian. Attack: 6 Damage: 7

Grimbald shrugs his shoulders, momentarily touching a trinket around his neck, and charges to attack a giant rat, hoping to flank a rat opposite Valkiel. standard roll ( no flanking applied) Attack: 20 Damage: 8 or with advantage if applicable Attack: 19 Damage: 5
Grimbald knocks off a rat literally climbing up Vakiel and chomping on him, then stabs it with his shortsword. The rat squeals and is leaking blood but isn't quite dead.
The rat that took off to attack Stryke after he missed with his cantrip did not make it two paces when Vakiel's greatsword skewered it. The barbarian flung the body off the point of his greatsword and it wetly thunked against the wall.
There is just one giant rat left. It turns to run off back down the corridor. Grimbald and Augustin may use their reaction to make an opportunity attack against it.
Thats a nat 20 on the sword if it's possible :-D

giant rat initiative 3
(I haven't been keeping score of the rounds, but let's say six.)
Vakiel and Augustin are in the room side by side.
The giant rats are within melee range.
Esa, Grimbald, and Stryke are at the entrance to the room.
There are two piles of rubble and refuse in the room, easily avoided.
There is a lit brazier lighting the room (so Esa can drop the torch being held by her mage hand if she wishes).
There is a goblin body at the feet of Vakiel and Augustin, and a dead giant beetle between the rats and the rest of the party.
The rats took their turn moving and getting into position.
Everyone else can go in any order they please.
(let's try doing enemy all on one initiative and party members on another to make it easier)
thorn whip against one of the rats, move to within 30 ft, around the fighters if possible. Thorn Whip (+5 to hit)Attack: 21 Damage: 4

Esa missed the rat with her fire bolt.
Two rats remain near the paladin and barbarian and they leap to attack, maddened by the violence and scent of blood.

Rick - can you advise when we hit round 10 as my rage ends
