Valwarin sends a breeze of curative energy towards Runt ( Healing word: 7 ) and fires another arrow towards the last box that had entered the fight trying to get rid of it once and for all. 

Attack: 13 Damage: 4

Quote from NorthwestNiner >>

Gendan moves around the titan to gain Pincer position from Runt. She swings her longsword as a Booming Blade Attack 16 for 5 slashing 2 necrotic. If the target willing moves before my next turn, take 6 thunder damage. 

 DM: Did Gendan miss, or was it just an ineffective hit? If hit and immune to the slashing, was it also immune to the necrotic damage?

@Gendan Opps sorry if I didn't make a post responding to it. I did edit my notes accordingly though. Your attack hit but your slashing did no damage since as far as I know, your weapon isn't silvered. The Titan took Necrotic damage. It did not move so it didn't take thunder damage

Val lets fly a arrow at Box6. The arrow grazes against the box but it does some damage.

Box5 moves next to Box6 and hurls a large stone at Runt and Gendan.
Runt's DEX: 12
Gendan's DEX (If Runt fails): 16
Damage: 15

Briggs cracks his whip and it becomes engulfed in a green flame. He then attacks the box5
Hit: 10 Dmg: 6 + 4
Fire damage to box6: 3
Bonus action: Healing Word: Elsara: 6

Runt is prepared this time. She effortlessly dodges the large rock shoot at her. Gendan turns to see the rock and tries to dodge it but she takes it straight in the chest. The chains of her armor clatter and break from the hit and Gendan almost falls down but she manages to steady herself.

Val's healing wind surround Runt and she feels some of the cracks in her bone rejoining.

Bringgs makes a dent in the box5 that glows hot with the green fire. numerous embers fly from the flame and burn box6. He then points his hand to Elsara and a soothing beam of light hits her and heals some scratches.

Gendan's turn.

Gendan grunts after take the big hit, and makes sure to gain Pincer positioning on the titan with one of her allies (Question, is pincering limited to melee?). She swings her longsword again as a Booming Blade Attack 13 for 8 slashing 1 necrotic. If the target willing moves before my next turn, take 2 thunder damage. 

Wow, these rolls have been excellent for me this battle.

(Yes. Pincer is limited to melee)

Going to describe the result of your attack in a little bit.

Titan's Punch VS Gendan: 16 Dmg: 8
Titan's Slam VS Gendan: 21 Dmg: 14 (This will target Elsara if Gendan goes down)
Titan's Punch VS Elsara: 12 Dmg: 20 (This will target Runt if Elsara goes down)

Bonus Heal: 8

 Punch damage to Elsara (rolled wrong dice last time): 8

I just noticed that Gendan wasn't using bless for some reason (You have bless thanks to Briggs) I'll roll for you: 4

EDIT: Val, Gendan, Runt, all 3 of you have Bless. You can roll 1d4 and add it to your To Hit roll every time you attack.

 (9)

Elsara's sword attack: 19 (Adv: 25) Dmg: 11

(Now that that jumbled mess of a post is out of the way, time to put it into a coherent narrative)

Gendan slashes against the core. Her blade is ineffective and the necrotic damage is puny. She could swear she saw a sinister glint in the core of the titan when her blade sparked across it. Suddenly, a large fist made of condensed earth, rocks and sand darts toward her stomach at blinding speeds. With barely enough time to act, Gendan puts her shield between herself and the attack. The great force of the punch hitting her shield causes Gendan to slide backwards a few feet (purely narrative), a screeching sound erupting from her feet as her metallic boots rub against the rocky floor. Then, as she is gaining balance, the Titan slams both his fists on to her, causing even more of her armor to break and her body to crash on to the floor. As she tries to get up, pain shoots through her body as she realizes one of her shoulders had popped out of its socket. She grits her teeth and still stands up, blood as red as her fiery hair pouring out of the wounds on her face caused by the jagged rocks she was smashed on; her armor battered to the point of being torn rags wrapped with random clusters of scrap metal than actual chainmail and gambeson (Don't worry, breaking armor is just a narrative and a price thing. It has no effect on your actual AC or anything combat related).

While Gendan is taking the time to get up with the sheer force of will, Elsara grabs her blade and tries to strike the titan from behind. The Titan's body warps and waves, the core moves to avoid the blade and with a fist formed from compacted rock and dirt, the titan lands a swift blow to Elsara's belly, causing spittle and blood to fly out of the young elf's mouth. While doing both of these, the Titan continues to repair itself with all the debris around it.

(Sorry sometimes, I get into this mood and write up these over dramatic posts. This post is too dramatic for what is basically "Gendan and Elsara take Bludgeoning damage")

Runt's turn.

( i like the heavy narrative combat. its way more fun then " i roll this. and hit for this". i can see the fight happening in my mind and its super cool. And tense)

Runts fury knows no bounds and she slams her hammer with full intent into the titans core 

Attack: 19 Damage: 15 + 2

And bless 3

Seeing both of her friends get hit hard really seems to have struck a nerve with Runt. She goes in with a wild swing on the core. Just like every other time she made contact, her hammer fails to do anything to the core but the subsequent shock-wave violently jerks the core around. Perhaps it was her emotions or maybe it was just dumb luck but the shock wave this time is especially loud and violent. You can hear some of the small parts inside the core dislodge and bounce around inside the boxes that has formed said core.

Box 6 Recharge check: 2

The box6 moves around staying within Briggs' attacking range to not trigger AoO. It then seems to carefully consider its options and then attacks Val by chucking two rocks at him.
Rock1: 9 Dmg: 2
Rock2: 15 Dmg: 5

The box6 moves side ways and gets near the closed doors housing the dragon fossil while throwing rocks. Both rocks strike the elf in the chest, causing rivets of his leather armor to pop out and parts of his chest to change shape thanks to fissures forming on his ribcage. He finds some difficulty in breathing due to the attack.

Val's turn.

Val feels the impacts of the rocks and the anger makes him growl and jumps towards the box, as he jumps towards it he adopts his wolf form and runs towards it jumping and trying to bite it to pieces.

(Attack: 14 Damage: 10 )

Volf's attack hit.

Box5 recharge: 5
The Box5 levitates another decent sized rock and shoots it at Runt.
Runt DEX: 7 + 2
Gendan DEX: 11 + 4
Damage: 13 (I'm extremely sorry. I forgot that bless also affects saving throws. In my defense I can say that the DC was 12 so no harm done?)

 Briggs seeing the Titan heal itself shouts to Val, "I'll take care of the boxes you guys focus down the Titan!"
He attacks the Titan with his enhanced breath weapon: DEX: 4 Dmg: 8 Lightning
Heal Gendan: 6

Volf jumps up and bites the box6 out of the air and shakes it, causing bits of metal and some tiny parts to fly all over the place. The box6 still makes gibberish sounds so you know it still has a kick in it.

The Box5 levitates a larger rock and shoots it at Runt, smacking the orcish girl in the back with a powerful blow, causing her to almost face-plant on the ground.

Briggs looks around and takes in the situation of the battle field. He shouts... well, you'd think him telling the group to all attack the Titan would be an order but his tone of voice, albeit raised, sounds like he's making a suggestion rather than giving an order. He takes a deep breath and then with his body arched forward he releases a 60ft long bolt of lightning from his mouth toward the Titan. The core tries to dodge but only gets impaled by the bolt. Residual sparks of electricity fall from the core even after the draconic lightning ceased but the Titan still stands. Seeing this the Briggs seems to make a face that's equal parts nervous and disappointed. He licks the inside of his closed mouth with his tongue and hurls a beam of soothing light that magically seals Gendan's face wounds.

Gendan's turn.

Gendan’s shoulder is throbbing, but it’s not enough to keep her from swinging her sword back at this monstrosity. Her hair glows bright red and her eyes are empty pits of black. She swings her Booming Blade once more. Attack 16 for 9 slashing 6 necrotic. If the target willing moves before my next turn, take 2 thunder damage. 

You didn't crit but I think the 4 on Bless registered as one by accident. 5 Necrotic Damage

Elsara's sword slash: 18 Dmg: 7

Gendan slashes her blade against the thick core once again, leaving only a small scratch. A wave of rust grows from that scratch however and then... with a dull muffled thud, the core splits into 4 and each piece slams against the nearest wall or ground. The core less body of the Titan stays still for a moment before gravity re-gaining control and all the rocks, dirt, dust and glass falls to the ground like a waterfall of sand.

Elsara seeing the Titan finally go down, dances over the box6 and cleanly leaves it in two with a double-handed swing from her sword.

Runt and Val's turn.

 I’ll need to tweak those roll macros for Bless

EDIT: I've figured out how to do it! Just add a `:1` after `:-1` and before `:critical` in the roll macro. So it will look like this: 
[ roll](if([roll:-1:1:critical], =0, 1d8, 2{1d8}.expand()))+4[/roll] slashing [ roll](if([roll:-2:1:critical], =0, 1d6, 2{1d6}.expand()))[/roll] necrotic

EDIT2: To keep the bless roll from making it green on a "4", add cs0 after 1d4, like this: [ roll]1d20+1d4cs0+6[/roll] 

Volf spits the parts of the box that he still has in his mouth and runs towards the remaining one. He tries to destroy the thing once and for all.

Attack: 13 Damage: 8

Val bites hard into box5. Battered, dented and covered in holes, the box5 still floats.

Runt's turn.

Runt has gone blind with fury to things around her, swinging her hammer into the core like a railroad spike.

Attack: 21 Damage: 12 + 7

Runt wouldn't happen to have an inspiration would She ?
