They are a Wood Elven ranger 6(Gloomstalker)/Fighter 11 (Battlemaster)/ Rogue 3 (Assassin).
As an assassin, a battle master, and a gloomstalker, he gets +8 initiative, on which he has advantage if in nature, and can add 1d10 more if he needs to. He has a +27 Stealth, rolled at advntage for a number of reasons.
Because he has advantage on anyone he has surprised, and advantage on any foe he has sworn enmity against, and advantage for anyone he goes before, he will have advantage. Elven Accuracy means he will roll 3d20, take the best, then add +9.
He gets 4 attacks the first round

Another 12d6 poison(dc17) So max 72. Total max 235.
Every hit after first:3d8+2d10 (Until he runs out of superiority dice, say 3 more times)+8d6 +21
