Having seen everything in the first round play out, and easily parrying away the strike against him, Arbon laughs heartily.
"Haha brilliant strike Grahl!" Arbon yells to his companion at the front, "But tell me if your wounds get too much! I'm sure a couple of scratches are fine at the present, but scratches add up."
(DM question - can Arbon move around to lend aid to Grahl and attack #5 without incurring an attack of opportunity from #4? If so Arbon will make that movement, running to the aid of his less armoured colleague. If not, then he'll just attack #4.)
With his action, having seen how easily these creatures seem to fall, Arbon will manoeuvre around #4 to within striking distance of #5 and swing his mace again to destroy the enemy (otherwise, whichever is next nearest should it be dead) (Attack: 5 Damage: 5).
Keeping an eye on the haphazard scaffolding in this area, Marchosias keeps his distance from the metal and the corrupted dwarves while sending another quarrel into the fray!
Attack: 22 Damage: 8 against Enemy 5.

MOVE: None BONUS ACTION: Move Hex to creature #4 (or, if dead, to #3, then #5, in that order) again targeting Strength checks ACTION: Fire Eldritch Blast at the same creature - Spell Attack roll - 8, Damage incl. crits - 11 - Reroll the attack, using my Inspiration from the "Leverage" comment: 16
As Grahl pulls his axe with force from the dead creature (#2) blood splatters around him. As he is about to dedicate this kill to his god he gets attacked by two of the creatures (#5 and #3) The first blow a mild hit mostly interupting his actions then the second making him take a step to the side as the creature draws blood from his side.
Using one hand to feel where the hit landed he looks at some drops of his own blood running down his fingers. He vaguely hears Arbon complement his strike but his voice fades not yet processing his words. Only seeing his blood, he clenches his fist. Releasing a primal growl like sound Gggraaahhh. Drivin by his rage he takes his axe with both hands again holding it high up its handle and raising the axeblade above his right shoulder as he turns to creature #3 who had last struck him. Grahl goes in close to the creature pulling down his axe aiming to bring it down onto the creatures shoulder near its neck and pulling downward. As he holds the axehandle so high Grahl gets face to face with the creature only inches away baring his teeth as he clenches his jaw to initimidate his foe (just for rp not action :) ).
With all the rage and violence he can muster, Grahl heaves his ax into (3)'s chest, dropping it to the floor dead on impact. Chazrael fired an arrow into (4)'s shoulder pulling its attention towards him, away from Arbon, as Onyx lays hex on it in the open passed Arbon before blowing its chest in against the pillar just like last time. (4) slams into the side of the pillar bouncing off into the slag filled ground on the side dead. Marchosias captializies on this by lunging into the space created by the newly moved (4) and slams into (5) with his weapon before leaping back again. Arbon shifted just as (4) was drawn to Chazrael to be inbetween it, (5) and Grahl, allowing Marochisas's hit to land freely, and allowing him to swing, but just miss the face of (5) as Marochsias jumped back.
(3) DC21 11
(4) DC16 22
(5) takes Arbon's bait and slams into him! (4) gets up from his lethal wounds and attacks Chazrael!

The Hunter just stepped back and let everyone handle this, disengaging behind Onyx.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Onyx cocked his head as he watched his target suddenly rise back up and attack Chazrael. "I... was sure he was down..." he said aloud, then shook his head and rolled his eyes as he chided himself. "Of course, nearly forgot where I was. Undead. Guess we'll just be beating them down until they stay down."
With that, he again formed an eldritch sign with his right hand and pointed it at the creature, launching another magical bolt of force and thunder at it. BOOM!
MOVE: None BONUS ACTION: None ACTION: Again firing Eldritch Blast at #4 - Spell Attack roll - 15, Damage incl. crits - 12
Current Concentration:Hex (1 hour, minus 2 rounds)
Arbon growls at #5 having deflected his attack, "Is that all you have?!" He swings his mace once again at #5 (or the closest enemy if he's down) (Attack: 11 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.).
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Staring down #3 as it goes down Grahls face remains focussed, enraged and with a craving for more blood. He turns to see how the others are doing.
Gripping his axe firmer his muscles bulge and veins are more prominant. (If #5 is still up Grahl will help Arbon fight that enemy, otherwise Grahl will move to #4. ). He strides to his target twisting his upper body to turn to the right as he steps forward with his left leg to make a swing like a diagonal chopping motion towards the creatures backside. If he meets Arbons eyes before or after the attack he would notice Grahl has more of a blank stare towards him, not recognizing Arbon as an enemy (yay?) and notice Grahl scans the area for foes to turn his focus on.

Grahl chops the creature (3) in half with a single blow, his massive blade sliding cleaning through its spine, muscle, and organs like butter. Chazrael slices at the monsters (4) face and slices its lower jaw off, Onyx finishing the beast with a massive Hex blast combination that has finished so many others directly in Chazrael's newly created opening. The beast once again slams into the pillar, its neck and head separating from its body. Moments later its screaming is ended as the head is then nailed to the pillar by Marcohsias's bolt. Arbon once again sits a creature down (5) with a heavy thud to the knee.
(4) does not appear to move further, and (3)'s cut in half body writhes no more.
(4) was killed instantly.
(3) DC19 16
(5) attempts to maul Arbon with the last of its efforts.
74 (5) against Arbon
The hunter stays back, you have it handled. He attempts to look for whatever is making the gas... perception: 10
That was all he needed to hear. Determined to act decisively, Onyx turned to the creature coming down the ladder, leaving the one on the ground to the others.
"I'm afraid not, sir," he stated flatly toward the newcomer as he unleashed his magic.
LOOK: A Perception Check - 6 - to see what exactly is coming down MOVE: None BONUS: Move Hex to the creature coming down the ladder, specifying to cripple its Strength ACTION:Eldritch Blast at the creature - Spell Attack roll: 20, Damage incl. crits: 12

Arbon, frustrated that this foe is not going down so easily and having just parried another blow, swings his mace again, coming down on the creatures head (Attack: 13 Damage: 4). He then turns his attention to whatever is coming down the ladder to join the fray, "Haha more are welcome to join! Nothing like a good fight to get the body moving, wouldn't you agree Grahl?"
Marchosias turns his attention towards the ladder, trusting the others to finish the first wave of abominations. He waits until the new threat is visible, then takes a shot at it (ready action).

As Grahl looks for more foes he sees the one with Arbon still moving. After seeing Arbon strike it Grahl wants to make sure it stays down before going towards the one on the ladder.
(since its still on the ground trying to maul Arbon i think)
Grahl steps in with his axe chopping down onto the creature, unsure if its dead for good already he just plants his axe for good measure.
Axe Attack: 23 Damage: 8 (not sure if creature is actually prone so if it is for adv tohit 8 )
He then places a foot on the creatures back and looks to Arbon More honor for Gruumsh. he says before crudely pulling his axe out of the body not bothered with the chunks of flesh and blood splattering around before he moves past Arbon towards the ladder, stopping an axelength away from the bottom side of the ladder.
Grahl finishes off the creature, splitting it in half like a log. As he dies, Chazrael, Onyx, and Marchosias spun to attack at the ladder, but the hunter was mistaken. Whatever was coming down the ladder slunk back up instantly when it was attacked, like a rope being pulled violently fast. As quick as it appeared, it was gone.
Arbon drops his mace on the head split in half in front of Grahl.
The hunter sees this and chuckles,
"Guess it pays to be a finisher, lets clean up here then maybe we should check out whats up there."
Marchosias feels an uncanny sense of satisfaction wash across him as the battle ceases. He was serving his infernal purpose. He couldn't help but feel that his goddess would be pleased. Still . . . his hunt was hardly over. He inspects the mistreated remains of these creatures to glean what he can before the party moves on.

Arbon looks around for any usable metal or ore to keep in his bag for his artisan's blessing, just in case he needs to make something (Perception: 18).
