Tockstarts dragging one towards Gashand then just goes and calls him over, "Dog thinks we might need this stuff later. Do you have room in that bag of yours?"
Dog smacks his forehead when Tock reveals himself. "Tock, next time, just make a circus joke or something and maybe we'll have an idea you're you. Wow that could have gone badly."He turns to Nev. "For the next nine or so minutes, you are protected from evil and good creatures, and you can't be charmed, frightened, or possessed by them. I should have worked this out with you before, but it might come in handy, because we still don't know what Aucasia has planned."
He quickly helps get everyone sorted and roughly pulls the armor off one of the gith if it doesn't take too long. He understands "Let's get going -- either the king is fine, and will be happy to meet with us, or he's not, and he needs help."
He suggests Gash send Friend off to scout ahead of them.
The party continues on the private road until a large estate rises into view over the surrounding trees. Shouts and clanking armor punctuate the otherwise still scene. As they approach the gate to the estate, they find an armored contingent of the King's Guard assembling on the other side of the gate. Opposite them are a slew of monstrosities. Aucasia stands with a singular monstrosity that looks different than the rest. Beside each of them stands a large Ice Troll. The trolls are looking at the little monstrosities crowded at the gate laughing. Aucasia and her monstrous companion stand facing the approaching party, however.
Bulwark stops the carriage 300 feet from the warlock and her...entourage. The party exit the carriage and dismount their horses and approach Aucasia, stopping 90 feet from her.
"This is Neventi's last chance to make the proper choice: Me," Aucasia says, projecting with bravado into the still, winter air. "Tell her to choose Aucasia the Warlock. Make it official and end this farce."
(Map is coming. This is the final battle! King Haddian is just beyond Aucasia. Only RP opportunities beyond this. RP this interaction with Aucasia and then we will begin the final showdown...)
(Beside each of who stand ice trolls? They are bad, right?)
(A bunch of little monstrosities crowd the gate. Aucasia and a larger monstrosity face the party. Beside Aucasia and her monstrosity companion stand two ice trolls. In total, four stand in the front: Aucasia, two ice trolls, one monstrosity. About a dozen or so little monstrosities are in the back, chattering and gnashing their teeth at the King's guard beyond the gate.)
I think the healing spirit has a couple of rounds left on it too.
Neventi comes running out and casts Healing Word to heal Tock for 6 HP.
Tock says, "Thank you. I did not think this through.. I hope that was the last we saw of her though. I don't have a lot left in me."
"Lets go see if these guys had anything on them to indicate what else might await us.."
He goes and helps someone else check all the corpses.
Sure the Healing Spirit moves over him as well, healing 13

How many rounds did you heal him for? Let's do a total of three rounds worth.
The three githyanki each half half-plate armor and a great sword as well as a total of 22 GP in various denominations. The monstrosity had nothing.
“hey Tock... hold onto that armor. Might need the disguise.” Martin strokes his chin in thought.

Bulwark doesn't really know what to do after hitting a party member. He just stands rigidly nearby.
Neventi casts healing word one more time before they mount up and continue: 8 HP healed
Current HP totals:
Tock: 46/71
Dog: 70/84
Gash: 74/74
Bulwark: 86/115
Althus: 102/102
Martin: 78/78
Correct me where I am wrong!
Neventi looks at Tock, worried, as the carriage begins to move. "Are you sure you don't need some more time to heal your wounds?"
Tock says, "I'm pretty good at staying away from the direct fighting, I'll be fine. Hopefully.."

Here is the map to help clarify things:
Initiative:
Fudging the initiative a little:
Should fighting commence, everyone in the party goes first. Aucasia and her contigent will go second. The King's Guard will go last.
(Oh boy.)
Tock says quietly, "Let them come to us this time, use the carriage and horses if needed. We can't afford to get surrounded."
"Also, I'm going to create an illusory duplicate of myself, just so you know."
He then activates his Gem of Seeing and observes the scene.
(in case there is no undead around .. ) He then uses his Channel Divinity to create an illusory duplicate exactly on top of himself.
