Winter's finger hovered over the trigger of her crossbow, keeping her sights on Strahd... But then moved to aim at one of the spawn next to him and shoots, right for an eye.

Anborn grabs his holy symbol and calls upon the holy power of Torm to add +10 to that attack. The invisible hand of Torm grabs the errant cross bolt in midair and jams it straight into the spawn's eye.
(With assassinate, Winter does 58 points of damage, and I sure as shit wasn't letting that go to waste.)

Orilo never looks back. Since the taunt, his sole focus had become Strahd in that moment as something snapped inside. For once, both soul and divine fire truly began to resonate within.'One more push...'A familiar and comforting, yet somehow foreign voice says in mind. One thought lost for years. Outwardly, Orilo flinched at it, and it is in that moment the sound returns to his ears. "Bar the doors. More will come soon."He says in a two-toned voice; one clearly his, and the other more angelic and full of fury. If he notices this, or the fact the skeletal wings sprouted from his back became engulfed in righteous white flames, it never shows on his face.
He just raised axe and shield in readiness to charge forth at the nearest spawn.
Initiative: 19.
(@Crisp: Above is his readied transformation going off. Because he intentionally put himself further away from the others, I imagine he won't catch any wolves or spawn in the initial fear wave.)

Ok, lets do this in initiative order. First, Winter got the nat20.
ROUND ONE
Winter20, Oreo19, Anborn17, Elya9, Corrin8
With lightning reflexes, you aim, and fire. The arrow thunks solidly into spawn1, and the fiend reels in agony. With a devious chuckle, Strahd's form shimmers and wavers, as if an illusion spell is about to end. In a bright arcane flash, he is gone - his laughter can be heard down the hall and beyond. The spawn bare their fangs and ready to attack.
Winter20,Oreo19, Anborn17, Elya9, Corrin8
You may make your move.
Winter20,Oreo19, Anborn17, Elya9, Corrin8
Anborn casts his guardian spell, and the wolves make their save:
"You can't escape this, Blighted One!" Orilo's axe ignites in holy flames as he rushes forward to meet the most ready to fight Vampire Spawn. Twice over he slashes, and with each one that lands the wound explodes a second time from a lingering burst of both radiant and necrotic energy. "Out of my way, pathetic shadows! Your deaths will not be enough to slake their fury!"Taking that as his cue, Stone Cutter lets out a "DA!" in agreement enroute to charging down one the still living wolves.
Bonus Action: (1st level)Divine Favor on self(Below Damage includes d4 of radiant damage).
1st Blood Bane Attack: Attack: 21 Damage: 8 plus 8 Necrotic Damage on Spawn1. 2nd Blood Bane Attack: 21 Damage: 11 plus 8 Necrotic Damage on Spawn1(if still alive) or Spawn3(if not).
Stone Cutter Charge VS Wolf1 - Attack: 7 Damage: 13.
Corrin spins back toward the vampire spawn, holding out his amulet toward them. “Your presence is not required! Charmalaine commands you be gone!” The halfling then summons his oversized, mystical wooden mallet spiritual weapon to splat any of the spawn who do not turn.

As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer censuring the undead. Each undead that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage. DC15

Corrin casts spiritual weapons, misses. Then, Turn Undead! Here are the saves:

Spawn2 resists! Spawn3 falls back away from Corrin, and away from Oreo, dodging.
Elya is up and round two begins. A horrible wail is coming from down the same hall the wolves came from. The torches in the room are also casting shadows.
Hearing the wail, and seeing the others otherwise occupied, the old mercenary makes his way over to the doors cutting a bloody path through any wolves that Stone Cutter does not make short work of. "Leo! Focus! Help me get these doors closed!" He shouts along the way. "Once you have the blade, find a way further down."Orilo adds as he starts closing the door, intending to hold them in place after.
1st Blood Bane Attack: Attack: 19 Damage: 15 plus 8 Necrotic Damage on Wolf1. 2nd Blood Bane Attack: 10 Damage: 12 plus 8 Necrotic Damage on Wolf2.

(@Crisp: If ANborn's guardians kills the wolves, assume Stone Cutter went after the non-dodging Spawn, and Ori spent his action closing and barring the door)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Winter's eyes darted to and fro, her ears perking up at the sound of an additional wail from down the hall. Gods what in the Nine Hells have we gotten ourselves into? The rogue realizes that the spawn she shot at didn't take as much damage as she was hoping seeing as Orilio had finished it off in one radiant blow before Corrin moved and got at least one of the two remaining to turn, making her shift focus on the dogs, but looks over to see Anborn struggling opening the cabinet. "Men," She says as she rolls her eyes, using her free hand to locate a picklock in her thieves tools as she runs to join the cleric to pick the lock on the cabinet.
"Try to keep anything from touching me if you want this sword so bad, hotshot."

Leo curls up into a fetal position and is no help to you, completely paralyzed in fear. Since Anborn killed the wolves, you try and bar the door. Stone Cutter hits Spawn2. As you attempt to close the door, a wraith enters and joins the fray, screaming into the room.
The wraith attempts to life drain Oreo! Life Drain: Attack: 18 Damage: 16 If hit, succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or its hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the damage taken.
