[DM: What are your rules on cover for shooting through occupied spaces? Assuming all three foes have half cover due to doorway being blocked from any ranged attacks Alton and Wash make, and that all three of us do too from the kobolds, but thought I'd double check. Just in case of cover:]
Wash calls down radiant fire on the kobold 30 ft in front of him, then runs 10 ft to the right. DC13 DEX save or 3 damage.
(OOC: You could say I apply it inconsistently - because I often forget - but also case by case, depending on whether I think the obstruction is real or not. In this case, because the kobolds are small and because there are stairs, I would say yes everyone has cover.)
Alton moves up slipping past Wash and puts himself between Wash and Balassar. As he gets into position he smiles and says to the Duergar, "I've never heard of a story where a dwarf was so bad in a fight that they needed backup."
Movement: Moves to the spot between Wash and Balassar Action: Casts Vicious Mockery at the Duergar, must succeed on a DC 14 Wis saving throw or take 2 psychic damage and have disadvantage on the next attack roll it makes before the end of its next turn.

"My granny can swing a pickax better than you have been." Alton says to the Duergar trying to keep insulting them.

As combat gets underway, you notice that Yinra does not appear to be anywhere around.

(Did Balassar take a short rest? His HP have gone up since the Stahlmast fight - is that right?)
Round One:
Alton
Balassar
Duergar
Wash
Alton is up.
OOC: Nope that was my bad, I just looked back and his health should be correct now. He's only taken 7 from the kobold fight.

A crossbow thuds into the duergar's right forearm. He scowls at you and mutters something in dwarvish.
Balassar is up.
Balassar just sighs as he draws his sword and shields hitting the blade against the shield and letting out a roar as he charges.
OOC:
Movement: 10 ft in front of him
Attack: 16 Damage: 5
It hits. The duergar is strong, but you've taken two good hits already. His gaze shifts to Balassar, and the war pick smashes down:
Attack: 6 Damage: 7
As he swings, he stumbles to one side; you see rushing up behind him two kobolds armed with hand crossbows, and they take aim and shoot at Balassar:
Attack: 8 Damage: 4
Attack: 10 Damage: 5
Balassar's shield now has two decorative crossbow bolts stuck in the front, but he remains uninjured.
Wash is up.

Kobold DEX save: 20
The sinful kobold remains untouched.
Round Two:
Alton
Balassar
Duergar
Wash
Alton is up.
Alton moves up slipping past Wash and puts himself between Wash and Balassar. As he gets into position he smiles and says to the Duergar, "I've never heard of a story where a dwarf was so bad in a fight that they needed backup."

WIS save: 6
You don't understand the reply, but the dwarf does spit in your direction. It misses.
Balassar is up.
Balassar swings again at the dwarf trying to take his head.
OOC:
Attack: 9 Damage: 7
That's a miss, passing way over the dwarf's head, and you get a laugh in response, and a rather clumsy swing of a war pick:
Attack: 18 Damage: 10
So close, but it slams into Balassar's shield - no damage.
Attack: 23 Damage: 4
Attack: 12 Damage: 7
The crossbow bolts come through the relative darkness and one hits Balassar's leg, just below the knee.
Wash is up.
Wash fires a heavenly blast at the dwarf: Attack: 10 Damage: 12
Wash, you get a nice cloud of dust from the rock wall where your blast impacts, but no hit, I'm afraid.
Round Three:
Alton and Balassar (in any order)
Duergar and Kobolds
Wash
Alton and Balassar are up. (streamlining initiative a bit)
"My granny can swing a pickax better than you have been." Alton says to the Duergar trying to keep insulting them.
Action: Casts Vicious Mockery on the Duergar, must succeed on a DC 14 Wis saving throw or take 2 psychic damage and have disadvantage on the next attack roll it makes before the end of its next turn.

Duergar WIS save: 15
(I forgot lost time that Duergar have advantage on saves against spells, sorry. There's no visible effect for Alton's spell.)
Balassar is up.
Balassar let’s put a frustrated grunt as he swings his blade again.
OOC:
Attack: 21 Damage: 9
