(Slight change for Reverie's position... She is now 10' west, at the corner of the crates/table. The prone T2 thug would have gotten up and attacked her this round. By being 10' back, he won't be able to move to melee range AND attack this round.)
(Theren's action) One of the bandit's at B2 pulled out Reverie's dagger that had pierced his side. He looks down in surprise, to find another dagger buried in his heart. Gurgles, and falls over. (B2 now only has 1 bandit.)
(Froskan to act, followed by the half-ogre and the 2 thugs.)

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
(Note for Froskan: A melee attack on a prone enemy gets advantage, but a ranged attack gets disadvantage. I am assuming you held your spell action until the thug stood up. And the explosion save is all-or-nothing, not half damage.)
Froskan moves north, keeping behind barrels for cover. He waits until T2 stands up, and shoots an ice dagger into his arm. The thug scoffs at the light wound, until the ice knife blows up. (Thug DEX save: 9 , B2 DEX save: 3 )
The thug realizes that the knife is going to explode, and grabs the bandit to use as a human shield. The remaining B2 bandit is still active, but badly hurt.
B1 DEX saves 218 , B3 DEX saves: 216
Four of the bandits grouped to give themselves courage, which backfires when Katrina creates a roaring flame underneath them. Two of them jump clear before the spell fully activates. A B3 bandit is not fast enough, and is severely hurt by the 7 fire damage. The B1 bandit that was hit by Theren's first dagger throw was slowed by his leg injury, and falls over dead in the bonfire.
The T2 thug used half his movement to stand up, then moves 15'. His action is to Dodge (attacks against him have disadvantage).
The half-ogre Dashes to double move (60') closer.
The T1 thug is able to squeeze around the wagon, and makes 2 mace attacks against Jack - A1: 19 Dam: 3, A2: 23 Dam: 7
(Jack took both hits for 9 damage this round. Updating the map in post 279.

(Right, didn't think about the disadvantage. Was mostly just going for the already damaged guy and couple next to each other for the ice knife shatter :P. And forgot save is for no damage. Making it a readied action for when he stands up works though)
(Af has been offline. I'll have him make a melee attack, and he can catch up next round.)
Af steps forward to swing his mace at T1. If Jack needs to step away, the thug will have trouble following him. Attack: 21 Damage: 7 T1 takes a hard hit from Af, but that is his first damage.
Two of the bandits are badly wounded. Need to see if the B-Captain can keep them in line. Intimidation roll 14 The wounded bandit at B3 looks pale, but still yells and charges forward. The 3 bandits (B1, B3) Dash to double move, but need to run around the wagon, and are unable to get in melee range.
The single bandit at B2 throws down his weapon and runs away: "Game over, man, game over!"
Round 2 over. Round 3 begins.
Post 292 has the round 3 map and the initiative order
Damage status: Katrina - 4, Jack - 13 damage
Thug1 - 7, Thug2 - 15, B1 has one bandit, B3 has two bandits but one is damaged for 7 points
Half-ogre took 10 damage. Bandit captain unharmed.

Reverie watches the other bandit running away, thinking she should have capture him but soon she shakes her head slightly, focuses on the thugs. Soon, she once again slashes the thug with her scimitar.

Thug2 takes a hard slash from Reverie, and sneers back, "Is that all you got?" It is obvious that this is false bluster to cover the fact he is hanging on by a thread.
The Bandit Captain now decides to Dash, and double moves (60') to go around the wagon and within melee range of Katrina.
Jack coordinates some movement with Af, and they switch spots on the map. Thug1 WIS save: 12 The thug smirks, acting like he isn't affected, but then yells at Jack to stop beating that stupid drum! Takes 4 damage (VM is 1d4, not 1d6) and has disadvantage on his next attack.

Froskan launches a Ray of Frost at T2, hoping to finish him off.
(You remember in Terminator 2, the bullet after the T-1000 was doused in liquid nitrogen? Something like that. Thug2 is dead.)

Theren emerges from the shadows of the crates and tables, dealing multiple hits on the thug, who is barely on his feet. He wants that drumming to stop! Two swings at Jack (with disadvantage): Attack1: 5 Damage: 6 , Attack2: 8 Damage: 3
Jack is at 0 hp, unconscious.
The thug staying on his feet is in the way of the half-ogre. It decides to try to toss that wagon out of its way. STR check: 11 The wagon shakes, but is still an obstacle on the map.

Reverie frowns as soon as she sees Katrina's situation. Her shield spell did not work it seems. Quickly, she moves towards the captain as she holds her dagger along with her scimitar. Then, her scimitar slashes the captain and pierces with her dagger on his side.

Seeing the first Half-ogre go down, Froskan moves around to launch an Ice Knife at the same thug Reverie just attacked.
Attack: 15 Damage: 1

Katrina peeks over the top of the wagon, attempting to cast Create Bonfire over the top of Thug 1's head, attempting to hit Bandit 1 and 3.

(oops. didn't see that af was left. forgot about him. this is a pre-post then.)
Jack sees the thug in front of him (T1) and casts Vicious Mockery (6) He then backs up, but not enough for an AoO.
Even better drum solo time! and don't forget disadvantage!
EDIT: if the thug is dead, target the captain.
