Rosie takes a swipe at the Hobgoblin with her Spiritual Weapon! It bounces right off his shield, doing no damage. The launches a Guiding Bolt at HC1, but the jostling and proximity throw her aim off and the powerful shot goes wide!
Round 3:
Droop, the plucky goblin, uses his bonus action to Disengage and step back from the two goblins. With a little distance between them now he takes a shot at G4: 23. And his aim continues to be remarkable as the arrow hits the goblin right in the throat for 6 piercing damage, dropping the goblin. Droop uses the rest of his movement to duck down behind the barrels.
Nyx is up!
Whistler disengages from the Hobgoblin, ducks past Rosie's Spiritual Weapon and hustles over to the goblin and wolf, where he uses his frenzied rage to swing and miss at the goblin.
Umbriel casts his specialty Crown of Madness on HC1. Wisdom Save: 5 + 4. And a jagged iron crown descends on the Hobgoblin Captain.
Lyngheid heals herself for 12HP and Ireniana for 8 HP. Then drops her glowing rings on King Groll, but they bounce off his armor, harmlessly. Then she moves to support Droop, giving the Bugbear an Attack of Opportunity. Bugbear Attack of Opportunity: 17 + 4, but the morningstar crashes against her armor. She casts Word of Radiance on G3. G3 constitution save: 8. It fails, and takes the 3 damage.
Lyngheid's Concentration save from round 2: 4. Bless fades!
Ireniana makes her strength save, so doesn't fall prone. She turns to the wolf and makes an exception. Her Longsword slices into the wolf, doing quite a bit of damage. The wolf lets out a loud yelp and is looking pretty injured.
Spider-Baeshra gingerly steps over the unconscious dwarf and starts climbing the wall to get into position against King Groll. He tries to take a bite out of the Hobgoblin, but his fangs stop just short of piercing the heavy armor.
Nyx takes a shot at King Grol with her hand crossbow: 18.
King Grol and Company are up!
A Hobgoblin (HB1) bursts through the partially open curtain where Lyngheid and Droop are, and takes a step in before swinging at Lyngheid: 8, but luckily misses.
G3 almost ready to bolt, steels itself in the presence of the hobgoblin and takes a swing at Lyngheid as well: 23. The goblin's scimitar connects, doing 3 slashing damage.
The Hobgoblin Captain (HC1) with his Crown of Madness attacks the bugbear next to Umbriel: 13. His weapon slices through the hide armor of the Bugbear doing 8 slashing damage. The Hobgoblin Captain takes a step south giving Rosie an AoO, and then shakes his head, trying to clear the madness: 2 + 1. And it does. The crown of madness is no more. The hobgoblin looks at Umbriel with a special kind of fury.
BB1 looks at the Hobgoblin, confused, but then shrugs and swings it's morningstar at Umbriel: 18. The wicked weapon crashes into Umbriel doing 14 piercing damage.
Meanwhile, in King Grol's chambers:
The Goblin let's out a shriek and swings at the raging and frothing Kenku in front of him: 6 + 1. It's rusty scimitar slicing into Whistler for 8 piercing damage. The goblin disengages and runs through the door to the west.
Snarl, the wolf, tears in a fury at Ireniana: 22 + 1 and it manages to find a gap in her new armor, doing 5 piercing damage.
King Grol, really getting into it now,takes a swing with his Longsword at Ireniana: 23. His aim is true, but the lucky elf's new armor deflects some of the damage as it slices into her, doing 6 + 13 slashing damage. King Grol nods before spinning around and striking at the Giant Spider behind him. "Too many bugs in this place!" Attack: 29. His Longsword slices right underneath Spider-Baeshra, but that doesn't deter him as he follows up with another attack: 8 and scores another Critical hit! This one doing 10 slashing damage. "Come down here so I can squash you Spider!"
Summary: - Lyngheid takes 6 slashing damage. - Rosie gets an Attack of Opportunity on HC1. - Umbriel takes 12 piercing damage. - Whistler takes 3 piercing damage (halved to 1). - Ireniana takes 5 piercing damage (and must make a DC11 Strength save or be knocked Prone) and 17 slashing damage. - Baeshra takes 13 slashing damage and needs a DC10 Concentration check.
Droop stands up from behind the barrels and shouts "We rescue prisoners!" before taking a shot at G3: 27 and his aim continues to be impeccable as the arrow pierces into the evil goblin for 10 piercing damage. The goblin drops to the ground! Droop uses his action surge to make an attack on the Hobgoblin: 20 the arrow pierces into the Hobgoblin for 7 + 3 piercing damage, using Distracting Strike.
The next attack roll against HB1 has Advantage.
Droop tries to hide among the barrels and debris: 11

Nyx draws her rapier and dagger and slides across the table, landing at the feet of King Grol. With two rapid swings, she ducks under his guard and stabs at oversized threat, before leaping backwards away from the brute.
OCC:
Attack with rapier and then bonus action attack with dagger. Nyx then uses Fancy Footwork to back out, which denies King Grol from making opportunity attacks against her for the rest of the turn. The first attack that hits I'll add Sneak Attack damage to that attack (if one hits!)
I don't think Nyx gets advantage on attacks because these no one behind King Grul from her direction?
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
AoO: As HC1 moves away, Rosie whacks at him with her quarterstaff. Attack: 23 Damage: 8
Round 3: She then swings at his head again with her Spiritual Weapon, determined to stop him from unleashing the fury she sees him directing toward Umbriel. Attack: 12 Damage: 11
She then casts Bless on Umbriel, Nyx, and Ireniana.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Glancing back through the door Lyngheid went through, Umbriel can see an empty spot next to Droop. Clutching his chest where he was wounded, he calls upon the Raven Queen begrudgingly and teleports out of immediate danger. As he reappears between Lyngheid and Droop, about ten feet from the hobgoblin (HB1), he'll launch an Eldritch Blast with a little help from Rosie's Blessing.
Rosie manages to get a good whack in on HC1 with her quarterstaff. Then she brings her Spiritual Weapon over and whacks him again for good measure before Blessing Umbriel, Nyx and Ireniana.
Nyx deftly jumps and slides along the table, rapier in one hand dagger in the other as she lands on both feet and then races up to King Grol, slips underneath his shield and tries a one-two stab/slice. Both weapons bounce off his heavy armor, doing no damage. (Correct, no advantage from flanking from that position). She backs out and stands protectively in front of the unconscious dwarf.
Whistler steps down to flank King Grol with the large form of Spider-Baeshra and takes furious twin swings at King Grol. Both bounce off the hobgoblin's armor. As Whistler screams into King Grol's face, he turns and looks down at the little Kenku and replies: "Hmm, I like chicken. Do you taste like chicken? I think I'll find out!"
Umbriel pulls his vanishing act, leaving the Bugbear and Hobgoblin Captain confused, and then reappears next to Droop and fires an Eldritch Blast at HB1, even with the Wild Mother's help, the shot comes just a little shy of the mark (This is the next attack roll against HB1 since Droop used his "Distracting Strike", so you get advantage, roll another D20).
Lyngheid positions herself better and casts her Word of Radiance spell. HB1 Con save: 19. The lucky son-of-a-gun makes his save. In frustration, Lyngheid tries dropping her glowing rings on the King, and succeeds! King Grol has taken damage and is not very happy about it.
Ireniana makes her strength save before getting a rush of adrenaline and finishing off Snarl, the wolf.
Baeshra, in giant spider form tries to sink his poisonous fangs into King Grol, but they skitter across his armor. To make matters worse, his barkskin fades!
King Grol roars "Get your asses in here and help me with these fools. And these damn floating things!" and the goblin races back through the northern door and takes a swipe at Whistler: 9. The scimitar nicks Whistler in the arm, doing 6 slashing damage, and the goblin stands, quaking in fear next to Whistler.
King Grol turns back to Whistler and says "Wings or Legs? You know what, I'm more of a breast man myself."And then swings his Longsword at the poor Kenku. 28 and the sword slices into Whistler for 10 + 14 slashing damage and then swings again at the Kenku: 18 and hits him in almost the exact same spot, for 6 slashing damage. He swings a final time at the Kenku: 26, connecting a third time for 4 slashing damage.
Hearing King Grol's cry, the Hobgoblin Captain in the next room tries to get into support him, unfortunately Rosie is in the way. He darts around her Spiritual Weapon and then takes a swing at her with his Greatsword: 12 + 3, but misses, so he tries again: 20 + 4. This attack lands and does 11 slashing damage.
The Bugbear (BB1) runs to the east, trying to get in to help King Grol, realizes the path is blocked and takes a step back to where he was. He dances back to behind HC1 in frustration at not being able to reach King Grol and then charges through the door at Lyngheid, swinging his Morningstar: 17 + 2, but the blow doesn't even come close to the dwarf.
HB1 tries his luck and swings at Lyngheid: 22, this sword strike lands, doing 9 + 7 slashing damage.
Just then Rosie notices another Bugbear rush breathlessly into the room where she is guarding the door. It gets behind the Hobgoblin Captain. And looks back and forth between the Bugbear and the Hobgoblin, confused, but out of movement.
Summary: - Umbriel gets advantage on his last Eldritch Blast against HB1, roll another D20. - Whistler takes 3 + 24 + 8 + 6 slashing damage (halved to 1 + 12 + 4 + 3 = 20 slashing damage). - Rosie takes 7 slashing damage (and needs a DC10 Concentration save or Bless fades.) - Lyngheid takes 14 slashing damage.
Yes, you can go south or north, but it will give HC1 an Attack of Opportunity against you.
Ehh I'll just take the disadvantage then!

The scimitar nicks Whistler in the arm, doing 6 slashing damage, and the goblin stands, quaking in fear next to Whistler.

He swings a final time at the Kenku: 26, connecting a third time for 4 slashing damage.
Hearing King Grol's cry, the Hobgoblin Captain in the next room tries to get into support him, unfortunately Rosie is in the way. He darts around her Spiritual Weapon and then takes a swing at her with his Greatsword: 12 + 3, but misses, so he tries again: 20 + 4. This attack lands and does 11 slashing damage.
The Bugbear (BB1) runs to the east, trying to get in to help King Grol, realizes the path is blocked and takes a step back to where he was.

HB1 tries his luck and swings at Lyngheid: 22, this sword strike lands, doing 9 + 7 slashing damage.
