Moving up to Vigan Andor and his duplicates all look a little white in the face as the arrow wound rakes it's toll. "Time to go and get stuck in big guy." As he says this he touches Vigan on the forearm as both of them feel a surge of speed with Andor draining off a significant art of his power to fuel the spell. After casting the storm swirls around him again and his duplicates follow him as he moves a little behind the goliath.
With deadly precision, Carrow strikes the ogre with both shots. The massive beast totters momentarily before falling over backward and crushing the catapult beneath the weight of his body. The three goblins nearby shriek in fear as they begin to run away from the fallen ogre.
"Take down those other two ogres! They fall, and we ease the pressure on the keep." The goliath readies his glaive as Andor touches his arm. Magical energy surges through him, and he charges across the valley separating his companions from the enemy army at a blinding pace, accompanied by a blood-curdling battle-cry
Vigan streaks across the open space , covering the bulk of the ground between himself and the enemy horde. Ladrian's shot strikes the ogre as another goblin prepares to climb into the catapult.
The hobgoblins to the east continue to exchange fire with the guards on the wall. Thus far, that particular battle is little more than a stalemate; no casualties have fallen on either side. Two more hobgoblins, however, have turned their focus to their enemies on the west. In total, five of them draw arrows and fire...

Carrow
Eager to see the Vigan in battle again the ranger has to stop himself charging head long into combat. Controlling his instinct he focuses on another Ogre #1
With mind-boggling speed, Vigan slices effortlessly through two goblins and two hobgoblins. Perched from atop the western hilltop, Carrow places two more arrows into the ogre, who is then pelted with the ranger's magical thorn attack.
The mass of Andors charge directly towards the enemy moving at unnatural speed. As the three duplicates continue to dance around the real Andor the wind begins to whip up, hair streaming wildly, cloak flying in all directions the sorcerer lifts off the ground slightly as his hands become sheathed in lightning. As he brings them together a bolt of lightning blasts out from him, aimed at the ogre thus far unharmed by the arrows and magic of Carrow. As the spell is released Andor is pushed backwards 10' further away from the enemy line with all his copies following suit.
Casts Lightning Bolt for 33 (halved on Dex DC15 save pass) aiming to hit Ogre 3 and carry on to Hobgob 9 then uses Tempestuous Magic as Bonus Action to move 10' straight back towards original start point.

Andor's lightning bolt scorches the ogre and completely obliterates the hobgoblin that were standing in its path. Every creature in the area is blinded momentarily by the piercing white light, and any chance of the party's being ignored by the remainder of the horde disappears. All hobgoblins and goblins abandon their assault on Xantharl's Keep as they turn to face a far more menacing foe.

edit - misread the rolls! and also I think Andor should be right in the middle of H8 (much as I would like to hide him at the back now!)
A goblin smashes through one of the illusory duplicates as an arrow whizzes past another of the fake Andors, two arrows seem destined to strike the sorcerer cleanly but his heightened speed protects him from them both, moving just in time to avoid them he ends up still flickering with lightning about his hands stunned by the power of his spell and the change in the behaviour of the monsters...
After being victimized by a barrage of attacks from Vigan, ogre #3 staggers a few feet to his left before crashing to the ground and crushing a goblin beneath his own weight and that of the catapult.

Two of the hobgoblins (8, 10) draw their longswords and stride forward, preparing to be the second wave of melee attacks on Vigan, but the two hobgoblins to the south decide against drawing swords against the glaive-wielding goliath. They draw arrows and fire...

Andor
As the last duplicate disappears after an arrow passes through it's face the sorcerer stands alone again as three goblins attempt to rush him. With his hands held out to the side Andor dips into his reserves of energy again, trying to end two of the little monsters at the same time. As the cold energy builds the goblins see his intent just as he releases twin rays of frost at them.
1 sp to twin Ray of Frost targetting Goblins 1 and 17
Attack Gob1 14 damage 6 cold damage.

The sorcerer uses his unnatural speed to dart back further away from them as he moves 30' towards Ladrian.
Andor
Moving up to Vigan Andor and his duplicates all look a little white in the face as the arrow wound rakes it's toll. "Time to go and get stuck in big guy." As he says this he touches Vigan on the forearm as both of them feel a surge of speed with Andor draining off a significant art of his power to fuel the spell.
