Handaxe throw attack: 20; damage: 9 slashing damage (halved because of rage)
Dorro's copy grabs the amulet hanging around his neck and speaks an incantation. Thrusting his mace forward, a ray of blinding radiant energy cuts through the air and slams into his copy (Dorro) on the opposite side of the battlefield. The beam enters the cleric's chest and exits the back, not leaving a physical hole as solid energy would, but damaging him just the same. The firbolg's knees relax, and he drops to the ground unconscious.
Oritar bites his lip and spits on his maul as he moves forward, closing in on the opposite team.
Nehala's copy sees Oritar approach and hexes him, calling on the power of her weapon using her arcane knowledge. A wreath of black smoke appears on the brow of Oritar, indicating the hex. Nehala's copy then raises her battleaxe, releasing a blast of roiling, black energy at the one she just hexed. The energy slams into Oritar, almost knocking him out.
Urilan urges her mastiff forward and the dog walks forward in preparation for future battle. Both Urilan and his mastiff prepare to dodge any incoming attacks.
Oritar's copy, mirroring his original, spits onto his own maul, causing it to ignite, and moves forward and holds his weapon up to dodge any attacks.
"Eh?" a barefoot dwarf on the tall and slender side blurts out as the group appears in the countryside. Mako sees a copy of the firbolg drop the original like a sack of potatoes and moves forward with a jolt, shambling hide armor rustling underneath twigs and an actual bird nest embedded into brown, matted hair beneath a voluminous beard. He casts fog cloud on a point in the middle of the battlefield. A 20-ft radius column of roiling, thick, pea-soup-like fog manifests from the ground and covers part of the battlefield. The dwarf keeps moving forward 25 feet and just slips into the fog.
Folwyn and his copy will both move at diagonal toward the center of the battlefield, angling around the fog. They each prepare a handaxe in case an enemy moves into attack range.
Urilan's copy screams in rage, blood pumping hard in his ears, and spurs forward his mastiff, which heads straight for Oritar. Once he is in range, the halfling lifts his huge greataxe and swings, but the half-orc is able to dodge out of the way.
At the same time, Folwyn throws his handaxe at Urilan's copy, who is unable to dodge out of the way as his weapon's weight almost pulls him off his mount's back. The axe catches the barbarian in the shoulder, but his rage reduces the damage.
Dorro slips closer to death.
Mako's copy casts entangle on the northern end of the fog cloud, catching both Mako and Urilan within it. He then touches his quarterstaff and casts shillelagh on it. It seems to glow with a soft light.
Mako, Urilan, and Urilan's mastiff all attempt to dodge the fast-growing plants springing up around their feet, but the fog keeps them from realizing it's happening before it's too late. All three creatures are tied up and held fast.
Seeing the entangling vines growing along the edge of the fog cloud and fearing this spell may be restraining some of her teammates, Nehala moves to where she can see Mako's copy and casts Hex on the dwarf. A wreath of black smoke appears on the druid's brow. She then raises her battleaxe and shoots a blast of black energy at him. Because of the distance, her aim isn't quite right, and the energy flies by Mako's copy.
OOC: I think that's everything. Feel free to correct me.
Dorro's copy moves northeast (N12) and calls upon the dolorous tone of his death chime. A spectral bell appears above Oritar and fills the air with a single note.
Action: toll the dead: WIS save DC13 or damage: 5 necrotic damage
(Based on the action economy action/bonus action spell rule we clarified earlier, Mako cast shillelagh as a bonus action in round 1, so it is ALSO entangled in the vines)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The staff isn't a creature so isn't restrained.
Also, I rolled a nat one on restrained and as halfling should have remembered I can reroll them so: 21 and still restrained.
Urilan will rage and try and break free: 11 as will his mastiff 13
(does Urilan being restrained prevent the Mastiff moving?)
Nehala copy will move to M12 and bonus action move her hex to Nehala prime. She will eldritch blast Attack: 21 Damage: 6 and hope the people around her are bigger targets.
(If you're in the space next to her and you cast a range attack, you have to roll at disadvantage, don't you? Sorry to do that to ya, but having had my crit erased by an unexpected disadvantage, I thought I'd pass on the love.)
Ranged Attacks in Close Combat
Aiming a ranged attack is more difficult when a foe is next to you. When you make a ranged attack with a weapon, a spell, or some other means, you have disadvantage on the attack roll if you are within 5 feet of a hostile creature who can see you and who isn't incapacitated.
Mako will try to get free of the vines (STR: 10), and fails. He tries to lean out to see if he can peek out of the fog cloud, and seeing Oritar's copy come up and try to attack Folwyn, he does his best to cast frostbite at Oritar's copy, which deals 5 cold damage and causes disadvantage on his next weapon attack if he fails a CON 13 save (Oritar copy CON save: 5). The spell (if Mako can get it off while peeking out of the fog cloud, restrained, which is a condition that just affects attack rolls and not casting as far as I can see) seems to take effect.
***
Oritar's copy (for some reason Oritar's copy is listed at 0 hp which if I'm reading this right, is inaccurate, because he wasn't hit, the original was hit twice) will move forward to L6, skirting briefly across the edge of the fog cloud at L8, and attack Folwyn Prime with his maul.
Attack: 13 Damage: 12 plus 4 fire damage
I rolled this with disadvantage assuming that Mako Prime got his spell off, but if DDP rules that Mako can't cast while his feet are restrained by vines and while he's trying to get a visual from the corner of I6 to L6, then ignore the second roll.
In reading about entangle and mounts, I've taken the stance of you have to roll the right DC to be free. So, if the mount frees itself, but the rider doesn't, the rider is still restrained, but on the back of the mount. So, Urlian is basically restrained to the mastiff and receives all the disadvantages of being restrained, while the mastiff can move about freely.
@rkmobius: You're correct that Oritar's copy should not have 0 hp. He should have started this round with 12 hp. "When a crimson rite is activated, you suffer damage equal to your character level, and you reduce your maximum hit points by an amount equal to your character level. These lost maximum hit points return once the rite fades and cannot be restored otherwise. When a rite fades, no hit points are regained as part of the restoring of maximum hit points." And, as far as frostbite is concerned, there is no way to give disadvantage to a spell with a DEX or CON DC, so it just happens even though Mako is in the fog. Also, don't forget that the copies are going first, so Oritar's copy went before Mako, so the disadvantage will take place next round or in the event of a reaction.
Nehala's copy decides to move into melee range and moves her hex to Nehala. She follows through with an exceptionally powerful eldritch blast, knocking Nehala unconscous.
Urilan rages and attempts to break free of the bonds of Mako's copy's entangle spell. The halfling cannot summon the strength to break his bonds, but his mastiff is successful and gallops northwest out of the fog (F6) and stops. The plants binding Urilan continue to hold him to his mount.
Oritar's copy engages Folwyn, swinging his maul. The fighter is able to dodge the blood hunter's attack.
Mako attempts to free himself of the entangling vines and fails. Hearing who he assumes is a member of the opposite team approaching, he does his best to cast frostbite at Oritar's copy. Biting ice forms on the half-orc's arm just after he swings at Folwyn.
@DirtyDogP Right, good point. Nehala will move to Q3 instead for the line of sight.

Round 2: Dorro copy, Oritar (Nehala copy hex), Nehala copy (hex on Oritar), Urilan (dodge & restrained), Oritar copy (dodge), Mako (restrained), Folwyn copy, Folwyn, Urilan copy (rage), Dorro (unconscious; 1 fail/0 saves), Mako copy (shillelagh & Nehala hex), Nehala (hex on Mako copy)
Dorro's copy moves northeast (N12) and calls upon the dolorous tone of his death chime. A spectral bell appears above Oritar and fills the air with a single note.
Action: toll the dead: WIS save DC13 or damage: 5 necrotic damage
Oritar's WIS save: 19
Oritar collapses.
Oritar death save: 12
Swiftgale, you're up!
Urilan Copy is raging, so non-magical slashing damage is reduced to 4. (Sheet updated)
(Based on the action economy action/bonus action spell rule we clarified earlier, Mako cast shillelagh as a bonus action in round 1, so it is ALSO entangled in the vines)
The staff isn't a creature so isn't restrained.

Nehala copy will move to M12 and bonus action move her hex to Nehala prime. She will eldritch blast Attack: 21 Damage: 6 and hope the people around her are bigger targets.
Copies are having a lot of luck here
After joining more my signature got out of hand so I am now a proud member of the extended signature club!! :)
(If you're in the space next to her and you cast a range attack, you have to roll at disadvantage, don't you? Sorry to do that to ya, but having had my crit erased by an unexpected disadvantage, I thought I'd pass on the love.)
(no enemies there, it was Nehala copy moving to M12 and only copies surround it)

Nehala prime collapses from the blast of energy sent by her copy.
Of course - was my attempt at humor!
Mako will try to get free of the vines (STR: 10), and fails. He tries to lean out to see if he can peek out of the fog cloud, and seeing Oritar's copy come up and try to attack Folwyn, he does his best to cast frostbite at Oritar's copy, which deals 5 cold damage and causes disadvantage on his next weapon attack if he fails a CON 13 save (Oritar copy CON save: 5). The spell (if Mako can get it off while peeking out of the fog cloud, restrained, which is a condition that just affects attack rolls and not casting as far as I can see) seems to take effect.

(This is what I get for posting at 1am. I misread move your hex as move into the hex next to Nehala. My bad. Nice attack!)

The Mastiff moves out of the fog cloud in a random direction (5 northwest), stopping when out of the fog

jasmol81, you're up!
(X-out on original Nehala as well)
(My turn is very much based on what Folwyn does, so I can't post it early.)
Folwyn's copy will move to M7 and take a handaxe attack on Flowyn
Attack: 10 Damage: 9
Folwyn will then make two attacks against Oritar's copy, one shortsword, and one off hand handaxe using two weapon fighting
Attack: 24 Damage: 9
Attack: 12 Damage: 8
(I believe that Oritar's Copy is down.)
Urilan's Copy moves to L4 and takes a swing at Folwyn.
Attack: 16 Damage: 3
He then drops his stupid Great Axe (free action) and draws a Hand Axe (bonus action).
---
Dorro rolls a death save: 17
Yes Oritar's copy was at 7hp and is down now.
Mako copy moves to N16 and casts [Tooltip Not Found] on Folwyn. DC 13 Con save or 4 damage and disadvantage on next weapon attack.
Nehala death save: 11
