Morgran Frostbeard |

Cure woundsx2: 2d8 + 8 + 6 ⇒ (4, 5) + 8 + 6 = 23 1d8 + Wis Mod + (2hp +spell lvl)
Morgran takes a moment to heal himself, before answering. "I am better now than I was, thanks for asking."
"Interesting tactic there Duncan, when all else fails sit on it." he says with a chuckle.

Morgran Frostbeard |

With a great belly laugh the dwarf smiles broadly "That first swing was a might bit off the mark, wasn't it? Before we move further on, was there anything behind the creature?" Morgran says the last moving to check the short corridors behind the jelly, taking care to avoid stepping in it if possible.
After searching Morgran suggest checking the corridor behind Duncan as well, before moving into the larger maze like area

GM Niles |

Thank you for keeping up with your HP Morgran. I appreciate it!
The party works their way through the tunnels, but they are empty and devoid of life. They look like they have been worked by professional hands, and Morgran strongly thinks that this was done by the original Dwarven miners of the Wave Echo Mine.
Basically three choices here, I've outlined them on the map with large colored arrows.

Morgran Frostbeard |

I vote red, simply because I prefer working my way in to the middle not the middle out. But will go whichever way the majority want to go.
@GM your welcome thought I remembered you saying to do that when able. Speaking of which I'm on my phone once more and can't update map icons.
"Keep to the outer edges and clear inwards is my suggestion." Morgran comments to the others

GM Niles |

Andrei and Morgran lead the party north and the air gets heavy with the taste of stagnant water.
A still pool fills much of this cavern. The water is dark, revealing little of what might lie within. The shore of the pool consists of a thin layer of broken shells from strange pale mussels, and a fishy odor hangs in the air. A passage leads South from this area, and a set of steps climbs up to the east. A sluggish stream flows out of the cave to the Northeast
Map updated.

GM Niles |

Duncan leads the group up the stone stairs and the passage makes a T.
Straight ahead of you is a door, to your right is a passageway that ends in solid unworked stone, to your left the passage continues 20 more feet and makes another T.

GM Niles |

Lyle pushes open the door to see five stunned looking Bugbears. They just gape at the intruder for a moment.
Andrei: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (20) + 0 = 20
Morgran: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3
Lyle: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Duncan: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Bugbears: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Andrei Brightblade |

Andrei charges in and attacks the leader, smiting him and hoping to drop him before worse can happen...
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 for 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 and smite 2d8 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6 .... Ahhhh double all dice rolls... So another 3d8. So add 3d8 ⇒ (5, 7, 7) = 19

GM Niles |

Round 1
Andrei charges right in and smites a Bugbear in the face. The Bugbear has a stupid look on its face right as it dies, it had no idea what was coming.
Bugbears 3 of the hairy brutes grab morningstars and engage Andrei!
3d20 ⇒ (13, 8, 17) = 38 +4 only one of them hits for 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (8, 4) + 2 = 14 the Bugbear in the back picks up a javelin and hurls it at Andrei 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22 and hits Andrei, even with the cover provided by the engaging bugbears. Andrei is hit for 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 damage.

All the good guys are up. Remember, there are no AoO's for entering or moving within a threatened range, only for moving out of one.

Lyle Twigstep |

Lyle takes a step back, and quickly chants a spell, singing a low lullabye.
Sleep: 5d8 ⇒ (6, 8, 8, 7, 8) = 37
37 hp of bugbears fall asleep! Centering the spell on the door behind the bugbear in the back.

Morgran Frostbeard |

Behind him Lyle can hear Morgran talking in dwarven. "Torag grant us your hammer against these foes" With a sound like a hammer upon the anvil, a spectral hammer appears behind the middle bugbear attacking him.
spectral hammer: 1d20 + 6 + 1d4 ⇒ (5) + 6 + (1) = 12 whiff
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Morgran in the meantime is moving forward past Lyle to step in to Andrei's right hammer in hand as well.
warhammer: 1d20 + 5 + 1d4 ⇒ (18) + 5 + (3) = 26

Spiritual Weapon 2nd-level evocation

Duration: 1 minute
You create a floating, spectral weapon within range that lasts for the duration or until you cast this spell again. When you cast the spell, you can make a melee spell attack against a creature within 5 feet of the weapon. On a hit, the target takes force damage equal to 1d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier. As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the weapon up to 20 feet and repeat the attack against a creature within 5 feet of it. The weapon can take whatever form you choose. Clerics of deities who are associated with a particular weapon (as St. Cuthbert is known for his mace and Thor for his hammer) make this spell’s effect resemble that weapon.

Lyle Twigstep |

"Oi! OI! UGLY!" calls Lyle out at an uninjured bugbear.
So there's this orc village full of huts, with a shaman. And an orc runs out of his hut and goes:
'Shaman shaman, I think my brother is dead! What should I do?'
So the shaman goes, 'Well, first off, make sure he's dead.'
So the orc runs back into his hut, and there's a *WHACK*. And he comes out with a bloody axe.
'Okay, so now what?'
Casting Tasha'a Hideous Laughter, DC 15 wisdom save.
