This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The fireball explodes in Nazin Redthorn's mouth, exploding his head and tearing his body into burnt pieces. Esa has also taken the full force of the fiery explosion, as does Augustin who chose to remain still and hold the Iron Circle Commander in place so Esa could carry out her plan with little chance of failure.
Those watching also see the blacked silhouette of an imp right behind Esa, poised to strike and killed in the fireball. The vegetations is smouldering or on fire, but the increasingly heavy rain turns the ashes into mud.
The devils are unaffected, but then are caught in RL'sthunderwave.
The first devil is killed, regardless of the outcome of his save, his form reduced to wispy smoke and a dark smudge on the grass.
The devil takes the damage, and is near death, but leans into the shockwave and is not moved.
Grimbald fires his silver tipped bolt at the devil but it bounces off it.
Grimbald can now choose what he wants to do with his bonus action - shift Hunters Mark or use the attack rolled on the new target without the Hunter's Mark.
With Grimbald doing everything he can to goad the Merregon devil, and the devil holding a fair few of Grimbald's bolts in its body and not happy about that, it charges at Grimbald intending to chop the dwarf into bits.
But of course, Grimbald cunningly placed himself just out of range, so the devil has to take a dash action to actually get to him.
Grimbald was the first of the party to realise Merregon devils are not very smart.
On the party's turn the Merregon devil was sent back to Hell.
Grimbald goes to gather the head of Nazin but can't find enough of it. He glares at Esa and Augustin and curses at them "Why are you so f$#king keen to die!?" His eyes welling with tears, he drops good berries at their feet and walks away.
Augustin tries to gently pick up the very lwounded Esa like a baby bird.
East their little one. That was a pretty big bang you had up your sleeve. *head boops* you can’t go dying on me ok, some of us actually like you around here. And besides, there’s only room for one dead hero in the party.
Vakiel just shakes his head at these maniacs, and sits… confused about not being able to hit Nazin and realises he is no longer on the run. He also shoos RL to loot all the remaining soldier bodies.
RL'shealing spirit revives Esa (who was very badly burned).
I'll roll on the fire Critical Injury table for Esa and Augustin.
Esa:
First Degree Burns. You have superficial but painful burns. Whenever you take fire damage, you take an additional 1 point of damage. Magical healing cures the burns; alternatively, they will heal on their own in 2 weeks. If you already have first degree burns, you instead suffer second degree burns. Given that Esa has just received magical healing the burns are cured.
Augustin:
Blisters. You have severe blisters. You have disadvantage on Dexterity checks. The blisters heal if you receive magical healing. Alternatively, someone can tend to the blisters and make a DC 15 Wisdom (Medicine) check once every 24 hours. After seven successes, the blisters heal. Again, Augustin already has magical healing so blisters are cured.
Damage for Esa & Augustin: DEX saving throw DC14
30 Fire damage on a failed save, half as much on a success
Esa DEX Save: 3

Devil no.2 Con Save = 16.

I’d like to stabilise Esa!
Medicine…..5
Grimbald will shift his attack to the devil. no hunters mark and move to make sure he is 35 from the devil. he wants the devil's attention.
The devil takes the bolt in the back, it looks badly hurt after everything. Grimbald has its attention.

The Battle of Albridge is won!!!!
Vakiel will move to Esa and use healing hands to restore 4HP
XP:
Total = 4475 / 5 = 895xp each.
Esa comes to, putting out her smouldering dress and looks about at the aftermath, in shock.

Inspiration for the whole party.
RL shakes his head in awe at the sheer audacity of Esa and Augustin doing that for the party. He would also like to loot the bodies pleasee
Also xp for previous battle
Hobgoblin Captain = 700xp
Hobgoblin Devastator = 1100xp
Bearded Devil x 2 = 1400 xp
Hobgobin Scout x 2 = 400xp
Hobgoblin x 6 = 600xp
Total 4200xp / 5 = 840xp each.
The plate armour that Nazin wore is battered and blackened, but enough of it might be salvageable if someone can work on it.
The shield is ok (not magical)
Nazin's flail is a Searing Flail, a +1 flail that does 1d6 extra fire damage on a hit.
Total coins on all the bodies is 147sp, 99cp, 420 iron bits, all in a mixture of local coinage and coins minted in the southern city of Sarthel.
On the burnt remains of the horse is also Nazin's heavy crossbow (not magical) and 20 bolts.
