Well that is 5 hit points I forgot about so I added that five back into my current hit points so I am only down 8 from my normal hit point max. Thanks. If I do not fell that big one this round I may use some magic on him.
So I have made an update to my post, I hope it works. Though I may need to make some rolls for the damage being dealt.
Brandon,
Yes to redirecting your spell. Also, I see nothing wrong with using the HPs on a character's sheet. The way I work it is the hits are really only dings, scrapes, bruises, and cuts until you to the last few HPs. That means the enemy has cut through your luck and skill and is now inflicting real damage.
I have been tracking my HP at present on Excel, being my first time on here, never thought of keeping it updated on my character sheet. I will do so from now on though. Thanks to the 4hp from Photokles & my Parry rolls (I think has equated to 15hp being negated so far!) I am sitting ok at present on 23 of (Temp) 35 HP. I hadn't forgot about the temp HP, as that was what was keeping my from being worried initially, along with my Parry, but the extra health from Photokles was most welcome *wink*.
I have 2 maneuvers I can use before we take a short or long rest next as well as my Second Wind of d10+CON HP as a last gasp self-heal if needed. Has everyone posted on the main thread now so we can move to the next round? Keen to see if Manos & I manage to dispatch these two creatures as I'm keen to return to aid Briadia & Arcad! .

Manos' False Life spell gave him 12 temp HP, so he's not injured since the DMG was also 12. Sorry for the delay in posting; been offline.
Edit: Just read the second post where Brandon noticed my false life. I posted the above as quickly as possible to make sure that he knew not to try to heal me.

*Edit to Main Thread Post*
Photokles quickly observed the scene unfolding around him, and even though he himself was gravely injured, the more skilled in combat needed to stay on their feet in case reinforcements arrived due to the creature that was dashing from the fight! The priest saw in his immediate area, as the pain he was in wasn't really allowing him to gain much more focus than that, Brathark seemed to have taken a pretty hard hit from the towering brute.
Photokles managed to grit through the pain and speak the incantation perfectly and as he did so, Brathark felt most of the wounds of this battle disappear, save for his blood stained armor.
(Brathark heals for 7 HP.).
Also, clarity, my attack comes out to be a 17 with my advantage and bless.

I think I must be missing something somewhere? I was pretty sure that only fighters (And the sub-classes) & monks got two attacks before 5th level, unless you have either the dual wielding feat or two-weapon fighting feature?
How come a few folks have been getting two? I have to use my one and only Action Surge ability to get a 2nd attack off before 5th level? Just curious is all as I may of been missing something all this time! *laugh*.
