This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Derendil is not influenced by any of the party's pleas and continues to rave about "Terrestor pointy eared spies... I will be free... you will not cage me again..." as he attacks Jimjar...
Claw Attack: 15 Damage: 5
Claw Attack: 11 Damage: 6
... managing to strike once through Jimjar's blurry form.
Beegred moves 10' closer to Derendil, shoots another arrow, then moves back to the swords on the ground.
Bow Attack: 11 Damage: 9

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Narstin turns back towards the rampaging quaggoth. Out of spell slots and with no more ideas of how to stop Derendil, he grimaces and raises a hand towards their former ally and summons a sacred flame.
Derendil is hyper focused on Jimjar, but his shifting and swaying as he tries to see through Jimjar's blur effect is unknowingly causing his former allies to miss.
(Beegred is towards the end of the initiative, but I will post now.)

Skameros, in his rage, continues to swing his greataxe at the prone Derendil, who doesn't dodge the deadly blow.
(Attacking a prone character gives advantage - doesn't matter this time - , and attacking an incapacitated - unconscious- character and hitting results in an automatic crit.)
Skameros buries his axe into Derendil's torso, killing him dead.
(A crit on an unconscious character = 2 death fails. He already had one, so that's it. Go read OOC about why I played Derendil this way.)
Skameros starts to calm down, his heavy breathing starting to subside. He wipes the froth from the fur around his mouth and looks around at the rest of the party....
"Skameros no like Derendil....better off without him." he states matter-of-factly.
Beegred takes stock of the situation and sees Derendil is still out of control. Upset, he equips his short bow and hits the quaggoth with an arrow.
(FYI: from my calculations, Derendil has 11 HP left)
Derendil is not influenced by any of the party's pleas and continues to rave about "Terrestor pointy eared spies... I will be free... you will not cage me again..." as he attacks Jimjar...

Skameros keeps on a swinging and screaming in goblin
[Pork-Chopper: 6 Damage: 6]
(OOC - WTF - screw you dice roller)
Eldeth will move towards Derendil as well and if she can attack she will

Eldeth is too far away to attack with short swords. She has to Dash to reach Derendil.
Rodolfo will shoot a ray of frost at Derendil: Attack: 7 Damage: 2
Jimjar concentration check for Blur: 17. He will take a Dodge action.

DC13 or 5 Radiant damage.
Derendil's dex save: 19
Derendil is hyper focused on Jimjar, but his shifting and swaying as he tries to see through Jimjar's blur effect is unknowingly causing his former allies to miss.
Derendil roars, "You use sneaky Terrestor magic!" and tries to claw Jimjar again...
Claw Attack: 13 Damage: 4
Claw Attack: 15 Damage: 5
... and succeeds once again at hitting Jimjar.
(Note, dodge grants disadvantage on attack rolls. So does Blur. Disadvantages don't stack.)
(Everyone's turn)

(I know about Blur and Dodge, but he can't do anything else and in case the first hit destroys his concentration then the Dodge action still kicks in)
Jimjar concentration check for Blur: 13
Jimjar has had enough, he will disengage and run away from Derendil.
Rodolfo will try another ray of frost: Attack: 24 Damage: 7
Beegred and Rodolfo's combined attacks finally bring down Derendil.
Cave Fisher (700xp) + 3x Stirges (25xp) + Quaggoth (400xp) divided among Beegred, Skameros, Rodolfo, Narstin, Eldeth and Jimjar (6) = 205 xp each.
Derendil death saving throw: 9
(1 fail. What do you do now?)
(Skameros, your rage dies down, your flaw kicks back in.)
Skameros swings one more time at the fallen quaggoth before his rage subsides
