Dog growls at the little monstrosity. He raises his warhammer and casts green flame blade and brings it down hard.
Attack: 13 Damage: 15 to the little one, plus 2 fire damage, and 9 fire damage being knocked onto to the troll
His bonus action is to attack again via war magic, warhammer lancing out either to the little monstrosity or the troll if either are still standing, and if not, the big monstrosity...
Attack: 29 Damage: 13
The little monstrosity dies and wilts off of Dog. The Ice Troll catches fire but does not die from the burns. It howls and hisses at Dog in reaction. But Dog cuts this reaction short, slamming his war hammer into the beast and putting onto the ground for the third time.
Bulwark takes a moment to clear this tiny little annoying *thing* off of him, before, failing to see Aucasia, making his way across the difficult terrain back the way he came.
Bulwark squashes the little monstrosity attached to him as if it were a mosquito. He then slips and slides his way most of the way back to the ice troll and larger monstrosity.
Gash, severely wounded and panting, is somewhat relieved that Aucasia has disappeared. He makes his way past Tock and finds some cover behind a tree. He then lets loose with a fire bolt at the remaining ice troll.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
(Wasn't Bulwark close enough to Althus to benefit from his aura? Actually never mind, he has the Mindless Rage feature and he's raging, so he's actually just immune to suggestion.)
Tock jumps down and runs forward, using bonus action Dash if needed to get in sight of Aucasia and takes a shot:

I think he was just out of reach at the time BUT, you did alert me to the Mindless Rage feature which means Suggestion would not be noticed by Bulwark...until he stops raging. So Althus takes no damage and Cytonus can take a turn with Bulwark. Updated map:
Tock's arrow strikes Aucasia, causing a splash of energy that dissipates the magical health bolstering her battered condition.
As Althus prepares to charge and Martin to fire, Tock expertly places a bolt into Aucasia's chest. She staggers forward, saying with her final exhale, "Poor choice..." She tumbles half, rolling half way down the hill slightly to the west of Bulwark.
Martin shifts his attention to the monstrosity and plunks two arrows into its side.
Althus, charging forward, alters his course and comes around to the monstrosity, cracking its bones with two precise strikes. The creature gurgles and falls to its knees then becomes still. Its five spear-like arms splay out as it adopts a serene final posture, almost as if in prayer.
Silence falls over the road outside the gate, save for the foggy panting breaths of the party.
After about three minutes, the leader of the King's Guard calls out. "What are your intentions?" The guard all look a little rattled but also relieved that the monstrosities and trolls have been disposed of.
“I intend to ask you to open those gates and let us in. There’s a king that’s supposed to be expecting us. I think.” Martin shouts over the gate, then sits down and scratches his head, before wiping sweat off his head. Then more quietly . “After that, I intend to sleep. And perhaps have something to eat. And a large drink. Big one. Like... at least this big,” and he holds out his hands in a gesture to show how tall and wide his cup would be.

Tock sends his duplicate to flail at the large monstrosity.
Then (hoping Dog killed one of the trolls) takes a shot at the other one:
Attack: 24 Damage: 16

Tock's bolt strikes the Ice Troll squarely in the back.
(Gash and Bulwark are up.)
Bulwark takes a moment to clear this tiny little annoying *thing* off of him, before, failing to see Aucasia, making his way across the difficult terrain back the way he came.
Attack: 16 Damage: 12

(Okay, I'm back and only a little late!)

Fire bolt Attack: 21 Damage: 17
The trolls falls in flames as Gash's fire engulfs it. Neither it nor its partner stand up. Only the larger monstrosity remains.
"C-comfort...me..." it says in a whisper.
The creature launches itself at Dog again, trying to wrap its five arms around the goliath.

Aucasia reappears, looking surprised and prone south of the battle. She stands up and dusts herself off, then sneers at what she sees.
"Fight for me," she calls out to Bulwark, "Fight for the best life for the girl."
Bulwark WIS(15) check: 22
Bulwark turns to Althus with murderous intent, swinging his maul at the paladin repeatedly and recklessly.
Maul Attack: 25 Damage: 10
Maul Attack: 25 Damage: 12
Maul Attack: 28 Damage: 12
Everyone (except Bulwark, whom I have hijacked...sorry Cytonus!) may go in any order.
(Sorry, it looks like Bulwark is under the dead ice troll but it is the other way around.)
Any sign that Aucasia has gotten de-blinded?
Suggestion requires sight, so yes.

Everyone else is up!
Bulwark walks up as close as he can to the warlock, reaching behind him for one of his javelins.
Attack: 16 Damage: 12
The javelin falls short.
Martin moves closer to Aucasia and uses his mark the scent feature on her, before firing twice at her.
Attack: 28 Damage: 13

Althus rushes towards Aucasia, picking up his longsword along the way, striking at her nonlethally with the weapon.
