(MD if I messed that up somehow, let me know, but I think our nerdy goliath warrior just did 82 points of damage in one turn.)
You're using advantage for being flanked between Neventi and Dog? I think with Neventi being prone from just getting skewered, she isn't doing much to distract the thing. So I'm inclined against counting advantage in this particular case for that reason. Buuut that only removes the crit in the first strike, meaning 8 less damage. Still very impressive!
50 for crit effect if anything interesting happens... And nope. (disarmed but it doesn't apply here and it wouldn't even help.)
66 for crit effect if else anything interesting happens...
After the first blow the hideous creature still stands, looking at Dog through mournful, bloodied eyes. But it doesn't fall. The second strike crushes its skull and it falls to the ground, dead. Dog whirls with his third and fourth strikes and the beast/man is caught by surprise at the sudden ferocity of Dog's attacks. The hammer cracks his ribs once and Dog kicks the maul out of the creature's hands, then he smashes him again in the face with a sickening crack and the foe falls to the ground, silent.
Tock actually saw exactly this coming as he cast mirror image on his previous turn.
Mirror image roll for first hit: 4. It hits and Tock uses uncanny dodge to halve the damage from 7 to 3.
Mirror image roll for second hit: 6. The critical maul hit actually narrowly misses Tock and destroys one of the illusory duplicates.
Concentration check for Bless after the first hit: 10
Mirror image duplicates left: 2
His turn:
He still doesn't like the close up fighting at all and tells the WB1 to GROVEL (casting command, WIS16 save).
"Martin, keep shooting it in the head!" (granting advantage on his first hit against WB1)
WIS(16): 10
The beast/man falls to his knees, begging in a husky, nasal common. "Please, please give me the child! I let you go. She will be safe with me. Safer than with you. Please, stop this fighting before it gets her killed. She is just a child."
Bulwark almost knocks Tock over as he charges around the corner into the alley, his maul already raised high. It only takes a single blow to put the foe down for good.
Dog rushes to Nev to see how she is doing and tries to stabilize her, picking her up if she allows. His eyes dart around, looking for Aucasia in the snow.
”Passalwyck does that not count as interference?!?”he says a bit louder than normal speaking volume. He suggests they try to find a place to rest out of the elements for a while.
Neventi is quite injured but awake. "I doubt it is interference. I suspect King Haddian can do whatever he likes as well, as long as the heavens and hells do not approach them directly. At least, since the Accords. We're on our own, Doggear. And Aucasia isn't done with us yet."
She climbs into the carriage to find Althus and Gentoa playing pat-a-cake, the young girl oblivious to the short battle that just ended outside. "Next time I'll stay with her," Neventi says to the paladin.
Meanwhile, Tock looks over the fallen creature..****y to find it has lost its tusks and pig-nose and leathery skin with bristle-hairs. It is human again. It carried a maul as well as (32) 7 silver pieces.
Martin moves the healing spirit to stay over Neventi. (I believe it has 6 rounds left)
”I think we should find someplace a bit more secure and rest. I don’t know about the rest of you, but... somehow I thought we’d be in the clear if we made it this far. We should’ve been ready for this.”
Althus looks up from his game with Gentoa, "It's not safe for you two to be on the battlefield. I'm here to make sure you're both safe, so I'll stick as close to you guys as possible."

Only one enemy remains!

He is prone.
Althus, Bulwark, and Gash are all up.
Althus uses his Divine Sense in the carriage, seeing that his allies have just about wrapped up.
(I thought Dog had advantage from the critical hit the previous turn, spoilered in this post?)
(Dog should have advantage from my Faerie Fire)
Gash rushes down the alley cutting off any escape route for the purple diamond.
Fire Bolt Attack: 21 Bless roll: 3 Damage: 10
the one becomes a two for 12 fire due to Elemental Adept Fire
Gash - Lvl14 Goblin Wizard - The High Court of the Aasimar Queen
Oo, yes, I had already forgotten. So Dog kills the monstrosity in two hits and lands two hits against the beast/man!
This is also true!
Gash blasts the beast/man with fire but he hasn't yet succumbed.
Bulwark is up!
No celestials, fiends, or undead are nearby.
Bulwark feels very little, if any, compassion, and moves over to the downed foe, bringing his maul down twice.
Attack: 20 Damage: 17
Attack: 24 Damage: 16
Bulwark almost knocks Tock over as he charges around the corner into the alley, his maul already raised high. It only takes a single blow to put the foe down for good.
(Combat has ended!)
Dog rushes to Nev to see how she is doing and tries to stabilize her, picking her up if she allows. His eyes dart around, looking for Aucasia in the snow.
”Passalwyck does that not count as interference?!?” he says a bit louder than normal speaking volume. He suggests they try to find a place to rest out of the elements for a while.
Tock goes and examines the guy he fought. Both his belongings and what kind of a creature it was.
He then climbs to the top of the carriage and keeps watch. Warning others about his plan first of course.
Neventi is quite injured but awake. "I doubt it is interference. I suspect King Haddian can do whatever he likes as well, as long as the heavens and hells do not approach them directly. At least, since the Accords. We're on our own, Doggear. And Aucasia isn't done with us yet."

Paladin - warforged - orange
17 HP back for Neventi.
Althus looks up from his game with Gentoa, "It's not safe for you two to be on the battlefield. I'm here to make sure you're both safe, so I'll stick as close to you guys as possible."
"Althus, maybe I'll stay with them next time. I shouldn't be running about anyway."
Gash - Lvl14 Goblin Wizard - The High Court of the Aasimar Queen
Althus nods, "Ok!"
