Clarac also continues casting her spell. She continually looks back at the battle continuing behind her, ready to abandon her spell should fighting the physical threats become more important than staving off the extraplanar one.

Sparhawk along with Yoht works to keep the Gilgori back at the entrance:

Sparhawk's attack: Attack: 19 Damage: 20; Attack: 15 Damage: 20; Attack: 22 Damage: 20

Yoht's attack: Attack: 13 Damage: 16; Attack: 13 Damage: 16; Attack: 22 Damage: 16

Maynard's attack: Attack: 22 Damage: 15; Attack: 21 Damage: 15

 One more falls to join the growing pile, and another is wounded as he stepped up into the doorway

Round 2: Tyekanik

Tyek continues the defense, cutting down the duergar as they move into view, yelling, "Death to the demons' dogs!"  If there are no opponents within his reach, Tyek hurls Annam's Greataxe at the next closest one (range: 20/60, using his Elemental Cleaver feature).

Movement: None.  Tyek is still positioned behind Sir Sparhawk and Yoht, using his 15-ft reach to reach past them and strike at the duergar near the doorway.
Action: Two Reckless Attacks with Annam's Greataxe as his Elemental Cleaver (thunder)
  Attack 1: 37, Damage: 77 (thunder) + 34 (force) = 111 (total)
Attack 2: 31, Damage: 26 (thunder) + 13 (force) = 39 (total)
Bonus Action: if either of the attacks was a critical hit or reduced a creature to 0 HP, the Great Weapon Master feat allows him to make an extra attack as a bonus action.
  If the GWM bonus attack is not triggered, then he'll try to use Mighty Impel instead.  Assuming there's a living duergar within 15-ft of him, he reaches out a big hand to try to grab them by the arm and hurl them away.  The duergar must succeed on a DC 22 STR saving throw or be moved to an unoccupied space that Tyek can see 30-ft away (farther away from the doorway that the party is defending).
Free Action: Yelling

Because of Reckless Attack, all attacks against Tyek have advantage until the start of his next turn.

[[ OOC: Since that first attack was a critical hit, the GWM feat lets Tyek make one more attack as a bonus action.  He does not use Mighty Impel this turn.  Here's that bonus attack: ]]  

Bonus Action: 
  GWM extra attack: 20, Damage: 31 (thunder) + 34 (force) = 65 (total)

[[ OOC: I'm assuming that Vrox is starting this round hidden, so he has advantage on his first attack. ]]

Round 1: Vrox
Bonus Action: Hide - Stealth: 32 (using Vanish feature, advantage from Shadowfell Brand Tattoo)

Round 2: Vrox

Vrox again moves out from behind his hiding spot with an arrow already nocked.  He fires at any duergar he can see, preferring to target ones that are farther back from the doorway and probably out-of-reach of the melee fighters.  If needed, he again leaps up before he fires to get a clearer shot (i.e., using Mirthful Leaps (rolled in game log) to jump 5-ft and 6-ft straight up).  If there are multiple duergar still alive within view, he chooses two different targets to maximize his Dreadful Strikes damage.  Then he hurries back behind a column and out of sight.

Movement: Move out from behind his hiding spot, leaping up if needed to get a view over the pile of bodies.  Then moving to another column to hide from the duergar.
Action: Two attacks with Dragon's Wrath Longbow (150/600)
  Attack 1 against target #1: 33 Damage: 15 (magical piercing) + 9 (radiant) + 5 (psychic) = 29 (total)
  Attack 2 against target #2: 34 Damage: 11 (magical piercing) + 9 (radiant) + 6 (psychic) = 26 (total)
Bonus Action: Hide - Stealth: 31 (using Vanish feature, advantage from Shadowfell Brand Tattoo)

 Both arrows fly true and strike the next one who entered the door.

Happy New Year Ya'll

[[ OOC: Happy New Year, @Aaggie!  Since Khessa, Clarac, and Lord Akkron are all casting / concentrating on spells that will take 1 to 10 minutes to finish, only Vrox and Tyekanik are involved in the fight with the Golgari reinforcements. You should be able to move the fight to the next round unless something else happens that affects the spellcasters in the room with the portal. ]]

Happy new year!

[[ OOC: Yes, I agree with Ben... you can count just Tyekanik and Vrox, at least until they are in dire need of support. The casters will just go on with what they are doing to stop the devil invasion. ]]
