The Ratman6 finds it difficult to dodge with all the enemies around it. It raises its shield and catches Runt's hammer right at the center of its raised shield. The shield shatters from the impact the heavy impact of the hammer tears the creatures shield arm at the elbow. The ensuing shockwave released from Runt's hammer, launches the rat's severed limb like a projectile and it buries itself in the rat's neck. The rat falls to the floor dead. Runt then moves to assist Briggs.

Ratman4 fires its last preloaded bolt at Runt. It then turns around to bite Briggs
Bolt: Hit: 7 Dmg: 7
Bite: 17 Dmg:3 CON: 14

Ratman7 rushes toward Briggs.

Ratman8 fires at Briggs from the cover of magical darkness.
Bolt1: 19 (Adv: 13) Dmg:5
Bolt2: 20 (Adv: 19) Dmg:8

As Runt runs forward, Rat4 fires its crossbow. The half-orc barbarian easily dodges the attack. It then turns to bite Briggs but the dragonborn warrior blocks it with his green armor. Two more crossbow bolts pierce the darkness and fly toward the dragonborn. The warrior raises his shield and both bolt break against it.

Gendan's turn.

Gendan moves diagonally up to the wall that Ratman 1 is on, then forward to Runt’s right rear flank. She fires another Eldritch Blast at the Hexed ratman, trying to pull him away from Briggs. Attack 15 for 9 force and 4 necrotic damage. If she hits, she pulls the rat man 10ft towards her (Grasp of Hadar).

Gendan moves to cover Runt's flak and fires an Eldritch Blast. The ratman1 is unable to dodge it and takes the hit in the chest. Instead of the rat moving forward though, the Grasp of Hadar severs the creature's torso and sends it flying toward Gendan. The half-elf warlock skewers the severed torso on her blade and then with a swing of her wrist, tosses it aside.

With one of the threats gone, Briggs turns to the remaining ratman and attacks it with his whip twice (Green Flame Blade).
Whip1 (Flame Blade) + (Draconic Bash): 16 Dmg: 7 + 8 + 10
Whip2 (Draconic Bash): 8 Dmg: 7 + 2

 Ratman0 takes two more shots at Briggs through the darkness.
Bolt1: 20 (Adv: 8) Dmg: 5
Bolt2: 15 (Adv: 10) Dmg: 4

Double Crit damage: 7

EDIT: Brigg's attack rolls should be 1 less than what they are since his modifier should be a +4 instead of a +5. He still beats this rat's AC though (rat4 doesn't have hide armor or a shield like Rat6 did)

Briggs' whip erupts in a green flame. Briggs' recites a short battle chant and lays siege to the ratman4. The whip opens up huge gashes on the rats body. Then, from the darkness two bolts emerge and sink into the Knight's back after piercing its armor. Briggs seems to have taken serious damage from that attack. He coughs and sputters out blood.

Elsara and Val's Turn.

(So rat 3 is within melee with Elsara, right?)

Elsara turns her focus to the next ratman, attempting a double slice upwards from ground level, trying to spray some grit in the first slice to offput for the second.

Scimitar vs. Ratman #6: 13 vs. AC. Hit: 8 slashing damage.
Shortsword vs. Ratman #6: 13 vs. AC. Hit: 3 piercing damage.

(Really hope that isn't one with a shield...)

Actually rat3 is dead. All things on the map in red are dead.

Oh. Guess rush forward to beside Ratman 4 then. (Will go to the space down-right from them. Hopefully will relieve any aggro from Ratman 7 that way)

Elsara moves forward and stands next to rat4, hopefullt providing advantage to Briggs and drawing attacks toward herself. When Elsara gets relatively closer to Briggs (you are within 10ft of him during combat) you feel a faint energy filling you and boosting your confidence in your ability to block, dodge and parry attacks.

Any ally within 10ft of Briggs during combat gets a +1 boost to AC. Moreover, Briggs also enjoys a permanent +1 boost to his own AC.

Val's turn.

(I'm assuming Elsara's attacks missed then.)

(No, you need to dash to get to the Ratman)

(Even with the extra 10 foot of movement from bladesong?)

Unfortunately, yes. If you want, I could move Elsara back a bit and you can cast a ranged spell or something.

(Yeah, she'd try and hinder a target as she advances, rather than dash)

Elsara sheathes her shortsword and begins to cast a spell with her hand as she advances towards the next target.

Frostbite vs. Ratman 4: DC 13 Constitution Saving throw, dealing 5 cold damage and disadvantage on its next attack roll on a failure.

Ratman CON: 14

Elsara moves forward and stands next to Runt. She raises the hand she freed after sheathing her short sword and an icy wind with clusters of biting frost blows over the ratman4. It feels chilly but it powers through it.

Val's Turn.

(Val, if you have an available bonus action, you can move the Healing Spirit forward.)

The wolf spirit walks slowly and solemnly towards the party, getting close to them 

( Bonus action to move the spirit towards the party 30 ft)

( If the 50 ft of movement of his wolf form allows it to reach the ratman4)

Val rushed forward and jump towards the ratman trying to bit it in the neck and drop it to the ground.

Attack: 15 Damage: 9 ona hit STR ST DC13 or be prone.

(If not, then movement and dash action to get to it) 

The wolf form of Val rushed forward trying to reach the ratman that is currently fighting his companions, once he reach it, he tries to bit its legs, but the ratman is too fast nad manages to avoid the dangerous jaws of the wolf.

(Yeah 50ft alone wasn't enough... so close)

Volf moves parallel to wolf spirit and gets next to Rat4, trying to bite it but getting kicked away.

Ratman9 moves forward and stands next to rat1's corpse. It puts its back against the wall and raises its shield to defend against better attacks. (Dodge action). Rat9 is equipped with hide armor, a war pick and a shield.

Runt's turn.

Runt brings her hammer down on ratman 1, not caring much for her own defense.

Attack: 17 Damage: 10+5

Red means the character is dead.

(I'll assume you move to rat4 and attack it since Ratman1 is dead)

Runt darts forward and makes a devastating hit to the ratman4's head it wabbles and has a part of its brain exposed.. but its still alive.
