Straight up has a similar situation with a gibbering mouther and the barbarian in the party.
It crit and I rolled a total of about 50 damage. The Barbarian then failed his strength save.
The barbarian had less than 5 hit points left and was knocked prone
Edit: The best part was the barbarian was raging so he had advantage on the strength save to prevent going prone. He literally could only fail if he rolled 2 1s due to his strength and being a barb. He rolled 2 1s.
Yikes
Yeah pretty unlucky on the barbarian's side
Literally a DC 10 to not be knocked prone and he had a +8 with advantage. 2 nat 1s later and he was knocked down.
The ranger landed a crit on his turn (which was next) and finished the Gibbering Mouther off, which let the barb stand on his turn without issue but he was blinded by one of the others.
To add more context, the barb had the highest hit points in the party. Everyone else was hovering around 30 for their max. Also the combat was 4 Gibbering Mouthers that started the fight spread out and nearly surrounding the party.
In general it was a hella cool combat that was teetering on the edge of oblivion for most of it. Which in all honesty made it that much cooler.
For your barbarian
