Happily, the half-elf, tiefling, and halfling have darkvision, I think?

As for Iathos' freakout - I'm trying to play him as young and relatively innocent. The near death experience, violence, and gore of the execution have badly shaken him. He's also terrified that his friends and family might all be about to get slaughtered.

You also got downed almost immediately in combat because of Valinar's boldness, it's a fair stance.
Also halflings tragically do not get dark-vision, but lucky makes up for it imo.

So RAW. an accronym that stands for Rules As Written (via the PHB, DMG, or other published official content).
To regain health you can either use a class feat (i.e: Second Wind, celestial healing, etc..) ,
during a short rest by expending Hit Dice (the dice you "use" when you level up. (we should all have 1 cause were level 1),
via divine spell such as cure wounds or the likes.
Or through a Long rest.
A long rest constutes an 8 hour period where you do no major physical activities (i.e: combat/crafting). for 99% of the races its an 8 hour rest. if your en elf its a 4 hour rest. (per their race feats)
During this long rest you can regain up to 1/2 (half) of the Hit Die you used (during a short rest). (minimum 1).
Now all that said anything is subject to change via the DM. EVERYTHING in the books are mear guidelines that we use to play the game some stick to and adhear to them strictly other play fast and loose with the rules.

OH crap really wanna mess with your players
[ +- ] Rest variant
Rest Variants
DMG p267
The rules for short and long rests presented in chapter 8 of the Player's Handbook work well for a heroic-style campaign. Characters can go toe-to-toe with deadly foes, take damage to within an inch of their lives, yet still be ready to fight again the next day. If this approach doesn't fit your campaign, consider the following variants.
Epic Heroism
This variant uses a short rest of 5 minutes and a long rest of 1 hour. This change makes combat more routine, since characters can easily recover from every battle. You might want to make combat encounters more difficult to compensate.
Spellcasters using this system can afford to burn through spell slots quickly, especially at higher levels. Consider allowing spellcasters to restore expended spell slots equal to only half their maximum spell slots (rounded down) at the end of a long rest, and to limit spell slots restored to 5th level or lower. Only a full 8-hour rest will allow a spellcaster to restore all spell slots and to regain spell slots of 6th level or higher.
Gritty Realism
This variant uses a short rest of 8 hours and a long rest of 7 days. This puts the brakes on the campaign, requiring the players to carefully judge the benefits and drawbacks of combat. Characters can't afford to engage in too many battles in a row, and all adventuring requires careful planning.
This approach encourages the characters to spend time out of the dungeon. It's a good option for campaigns that emphasize intrigue, politics, and interactions among other PCs, and in which combat is rare or something to be avoided rather than rushed into.

Haha, let's go extra epic. Long rest is one month, short rest a week.
I'm really just kidding. The PHB rules are entirely appropriate for my style.

you would get your Hit die of the d12 but if we do the LR, your health will be back to full
so you'll be 15/15 (or whatever your max is) and HD: 1

My plan after that crit failure is to basically run Looney Tunes style back towards the group honking like Daffy Duck. The hope is Ruby stays hodden and I draw some of the hobs away.
