Raina reaches the mage and the mage is not affected, but she found the mage alright, all others can find the mage automatically if they have movement.
Shimmer pursues the mage. Moving outside she sees that Raina has attacked but failed to harm the enemy. She fires another fire bolt at the mage.

Another dead bugbear.
Not finding it necessary to enter melee with the large gobliniods Shimmer sticks to her tried and true Firebolt.
The bugbear is hit hard.
botting Holgar to move along
and that kills him.
All the enemies are dead. heroes can definitely get a short rest if they want, holding up in a vacant room, and a 90% chance of getting an uninterrupted long rest.
Holgar lets out a feral growl as the last bugbear goes down and spins around looking for another foe... when there's none to be found he takes a few deep breaths to regain control...
" Shame the mons... creature is dead. " he walks up to Klava and slaps the dragonborn on the shoulder. " That was quite a blow you took, good to see you're still among the living!"
"We should search the wizard for magic. Then rest maybe... "
After the battle, you loot the chest down in the pit, it has 3 potion of healing and 1 potion of invisibility as well as a +1 longsword.
The wizard has a staff of defense on him (requires attunement by a wizard or sorcerer) Gives you +1 to ac while holding it and has 10 charges. 2 charges can be used to cast shield, and 1 charge can be used to cast mage armor, you need not to know these spells or have them in your spellbook to cast them. It regains 1d6+4 charges daily. It is a quarterstaff, and it is magical, thus if you whack with it, it counts as magical blunt damage.
From the bugbears room, you see a chained up goblin. Help, get me out of here, the bugbears had me chained up.
Unless anyone stops her, Klava will free the goblin.
Ah, thank you, I can tell you stuff about this place if you need help, the bugbears and the redbrands held me prisoner here, I want them gone. What would you like to know about these rooms, the redbrands or this place?
"If you want these things gone, tell us what you think we should know to best accomplish that."
Well the right door is empty of enemies, but there is a secret door in that room. Everyone should hide behind the barrels in that room, while one person opens the secret door to surprise the redbrands. If you go through the north door, just beware of the pit trap in the middle of the hallway, though there are nearby planks to help cross it. Then when you open the coffins, make sure you have readied attacks to destroy the skeletons and claim the gold. And there is one more room connected to the north room, as you will encounter redbrands holding people in cells, and there is no possible way you will surprise them.
Ceidith rests a bit before following the rest of the group.
He turns to the rest of the group
What way would you guys like to go?
Lets talk to the goblin before we free him.Shimmer recommends. Ok, you goblin. If you expect us to free you, how about you telling us your story. What is your name and why are you a prisoner?
I was a crafter, but I sucked at my job, so the bugbears enslaved me. I did not go on raiding parties, the goblins I was with, either went on raiding or did crafting. I also sucked at other jobs, so they saw me as someone inferior and enslaved me. I have been kicked out of the groups of goblins here in Phandalin. There are more groups near cragmaw castle and cragmaw hideout, though I was blindfolded and ended up here, so I have no idea how to get to either, only that I'm somewhere in Phandalin. Name is Gorg by the way.
He pauses for a minute.
They would never allow me in town, so when you clear out the redbrand hideout, would you help me patch up the opening in the south wall, it can be sealed, and let me have the hideout? Don't worry about food, there are plenty of small game animals around the forest I'm good at hunting.
Shimmer looks at the goblin like he is crazy. I am for letting you go, and I'd even help you get away from town and other goblins if that is what you want. But I do see myself helping you take over this hideout, unless you can convince us that you would never be stealing from the town or hurting the people there.
"An ambush sounds better than a fair fight..."
"You give good information, I don't care what you do when you're free except if you bring harm to the people nearby, then I'll be back! "
"If there are prisoners I say we should rescue them before ambushing the others or putting the dead back to rest... "
So in exchange for your freedom, you're to give us information on the rest of the gang so we can clear them out.
And in exchange for their hideout and some construction work, you're to do what?
If you give an oath to me to protect the rivers, streams, lakes, and coastlines nearby, I'll help you patch up your hideout. If you agree, we can discuss the details later. Raina offers.
Protect the rivers, streams, lakes? Do I look like a park ranger to you that would tell people not to litter and respect wildlife? I can clean whatever litter is near the hideout that people do, but that is about it. As he gives Raina a puzzled look, like how do I do that.
He turns to Holgar. You have to go through the undead room to get to the hostages, and they will animate if you mess with the coffins or try to exit the room from the other side.
