When Hallina swoops down, weapon swinging, the wide hammer strikes are too fast to be easily countered, and the thick metal head crunches down against the living wood of the warforged. The spellcaster, clearly injured by the heavy blows, retaliates. They swath their fist in necrotic energy and stab it forwards, the bolt jolting from their hand into Hallina and ravaging them. Even if it left no physical markings on the exterior, the pain is clearly felt.

Vradurz's loosed firebolt soars across the battlefield and slams into the chest of the blade-and-bow wielder stood above Druager, and though it clearly leaves a burn mark, it does not distract the warrior from striking at their proned foe. Even on the ground, the metamorph is able to evade the first strike, but the second stab and the follow up crossbow bolt both find their marks. Combining their strikes allows RITAC and their summoned beast to lay the commander low, literally, as they pull him to the ground. When RITAC pulls away though, the morningstar wielder swings at the hind leg and catches it. It's not enough to end the wild shape, but it does leave a mark. With the mechanical wolf now out of range, they turn their attention to Xael. Three precise swings crash down at Xael, who evades one but the other two catch on the frigid armour that the elven warrior has cloaked themself in. The spiked maces do enough to dispel the cold, but the warforged pays dearly for the effort in doing so, with the cold armour shattering into frozen spikes that ravage their upper body leaving a thousand thousand pockmarks in the metal and wood.

Recap:
Howell casts Fly and moves.
Vradurz hits the warforged near Druager for 10, doesn't need to spend BI.
Hallina hits the commander for 12, misses once, then hits the spellcaster twice for 27 total. They're still up, but barely.
RITAC and bird hit the commander for 22 total together and trip him. He's now prone, and bloodied.

RITAC saves himself an OA from the commander due to mobility, but not from the warforged to the commander's south, who swings and hits for 8.
Said warforged then hits Xael twice for 7 and 11 total, taking 30 (15x2) Armour of Agathys damage in return. Said warforged is now bloodied. They miss with their last attack.

The spellcaster retaliates against Hallina with a 2nd level Inflict Wounds that hits for 30 necrotic damage.

Finally, the warforged beside Druager stabs him once for 8 and then shoots him pointblank for another 6. Advantage didn't actually do anything for these rolls, surprisingly.

Xael is now up.
