Rel takes a moment to judge the range to the top of the fissure, deciding it is within thirty feet.
"My teleportation magic is limited." Her voice is low as she signals upwards to Aeran. "Yet I should be able to make this quick. I can drop a rope when I appear at the top. Be ready to climb up and fight. If we both take the time to climb, my sense is that Luk may have barged in already."
If the golden elf agrees, Rel murmurs softly and uses Misty Step (once per day - Fey Touched feat) to vanish in wisps of silvery shadow, reappearing at a spot she has picked out at the top of the fissure, hoping she is still hidden from the goblins or whoever else are in the chamber. If possible, she then quickly ties off her hempen rope from her pack to any rock formation she can find and drops it down the fissure quietly for Aeran to climb.
(Not in combat yet, but that's Rel'sBonus Action. Her Action is to tie off the rope and drop it down, with Movement to find a good spot to tie off).
Aeran nods in agreement before Rel disappears upwards. "Good thinking. I will try my best to climb as fast as I can."
If Rel succeeds with her plan and there is a rope, Aeran will proceed to use it to help himself with the climbing (athletics: 14 in game log), trying not to cause too much noise with his armour (stealth: 19 in game log).

Aeran Dormaris - L2 Paladin on his way to Phandelver
You're no longer raging I'm afraid, it's been more than 1 minute since the last fight.
Both arrows slam into the barbarian, but do little to affect his momentum. He brings his greataxe crashing down onto the pile of wooden crates, sending splinters flying in all directions. He hauls on the axe, pulling broken crates off the top of the barricade crashing down onto the cave floor in front of him.
Beyond the barricade, you can see two goblins with shortbows, both hurriedly reaching for new shafts. There is a large bugbear with them, howling with rage and waving a morningstar in the air. Their attention is all fixed on the screaming barbarian dismantling their barricade, as...
Rel appears silently behind them. With a quick glance to ensure the enemy attention is elsewhere, Rel quickly drops a rope down the shaft to Aeran, who, despite his armour, shimmies up it almost soundlessly. The flanking manouevre has been a success! The two elves have infiltrated the enemy rear without being spotted.

Over to Mayres. Your turn.
Taking a step back, Mayres’s discerning eyes flicked first to the monstrous bugbear waving a morningstar wildly about in its fury – he doubted even Luk could survive a direct confrontation with the creature with the condition he was about to be in; was the barbarian unaware that healing potions had their limits? Even if Mayres had thought to brew more, he wasn’t sure they could fully reappear the Goliath if he got ripped to shreds after deciding to single-handedly fight a bugbear – and then to its smaller companions hurriedly trying to string their bows.
Making a quick decision, he ran over to the side of the barricade that was farthest from their enemies, crouched down, back halfway to the damp cave wall, and dug his tinderbox out of his satchel.
Cupping his free hand around the match, a small flame appeared on its end after it was struck. Coaxing the fire to take against the dry wood, Mayres muttered an incantation (control flames) under his breath, and spread the magical fire as far across the length of the ruined makeshift wall as it would go – both burning down the barricade and distracting the goblins and bugbear to the elves behind them. Hopefully.
As the barricade goes up in flames, nocks an arrow to his bow and draws to his chin.
Attack: 6 in Game Log (Nat 1).
The bowstring snaps, the arrow tumbles to the floor, and the bow stave twists out of his grip, hitting the ground with a clatter.
Sildar, realising the barricade is now impassable, casts around for something to use as a ranged weapon. He picks up a good sized rock and hurls it with all his strength through the gap, trying to hit one of the goblins.
Attack: 8 Damage: 2
With Willow making her way back through the caverns to join her, Mara steps within view of the opening, levels her staff, and releases a [Tooltip Not Found].
Attack: 16 in Game Log.
The firebolt streaks through the darkness and slams into the bugbear's chest, causing it to howl in pain and anger and the goblins to shrink away. They are starting to look panicked, with the burning barricade in front of them and rocks and magical fire being hurled at them over the top. They still haven't seen the two elves lurking behind them.
“Charge now?” Luk asks with a hopeful look on his face.

As Luk charges in to assault the barricade, two arrows fizz out of the darkness beyond.
Attack: 11 Damage: 8
Attack: 5 Damage: 7

Cant remeber if I took the damage yesterday sorry. Also if I’m not in rage as a bonus action would it be okay to enter rage?

You've raged twice since the last long rest so you can't do it again I'm afraid. Full damage from those two arrows.
Oof, yikes!

Sildar's aim is true, and the rock hits one of the goblins square in the face. A fountain of blood wells up from its broken nose as it reels back.
Nat 20 to hit!!!
8 damage :(
