Jairdan's pack was shrugged off with the strap release before he shouldered the battleaxe. With Vehemence intent on his approach, there was little that he felt that he could do, save prepare for the fight. "State your intentions!", he called out in challenge, approaching.

Amaterasu grins wildly, giving a roar, and charges the bugbear as soon as she is able, wielding her scimitar in both hands as she launches herself onto the bugbear.
"The Nothingman is about to become nothing but red!" she yells cackling uncontrollably.
Her enthusiasm at the prospect of the battle comes at a detriment though and her blade swings wide.
"Stand still!" she yells, angrily, at the creature in response.

Round 1
Macario holds his position near Pandora at the rear of the group, searching for some sort of direction in the combat. Meanwhile he continues to wring his staff nervously.
Jairdan almost smiled at the Bugbear's declaration. He could understand wanting to rid themselves of Orin, but that was something that he could not allow. "Apologies, but that little one is a friend to us, despite his aggravating ways. We seek The Nothingman, and unfortunately, harming you to do so is within our purview. Will you surrender, or will we shed blood?"
He shortened his grip on the battleaxe, and gave them a moment to respond, but continued advancing. His face was calm, if diplomatic, despite the intent of his body and the threat of the weapon in his hand.

The clatter of footsteps die as two bugbears emerge from the cage, looking curiously for a moment at their leader. However, they spy the rest of the group before grinning at each other and sharing a glance.
The grig swears even louder and disappears in a puff.
Orin Warren lunges forward with his rapier between the bugbear's legs, aiming at the now-small bugbear. "Not so big now!" he taunts.
The bugbear bats at Orin, making contact with his mace but dealing no damage.

Round 1 Recap:
Antika crashes through the underbrush, back rolling from one side to the other, and it becomes clear that Pandora couldn't have stayed mounted if she wanted to. His maw gapes wide, and he bites down at the nearest bugbear. The bite, however, misses as the now-small bugbear flits away.
Orin Warren lunges forward with his rapier between the bugbear's legs, aiming at the now-small bugbear. "Not so big now!" he taunts.
The bugbear screams in anger, "I'm going to eat that damn thing for dinner," as he lunges forward with a morningstar.

Pandora moves forward to within range of the bugbears now threatening her Eidolon. As she arrives, she points a finger at the nearest (undamaged) one and fires a ray in its direction.
"Be wary, folks. This is what we came to rout. If your feet are not swift to shed blood, I will abandon you in the fray.
Take my fire into your chest."
The claw of Vehemence begins to erupt in crimson, with faint red lightnings crackling from it, into the air.
He then begins to stride towards the furred goblins, fangs glaring, skin burning.

Buffs up:
Raging Song
The tip of his claw a white hot point, it grips tightly around his claymore sword along with his other hand as he raptor-trots through the brush. His own essence overtaking his consciousness.
All blood shall be MINE. War, my slave! Minister to me AGAIN!
Rather than move with Vehemence's haste, Jairdan advanced at his normal pace, keeping an eye out for anything that differed from what they were expecting. This potential fight was not something for any of them to be worried about, as long as they kept their heads. He was expecting more than things seemed, though that was not something that would limit him once the fight was joined.

Round 2
Still unsure of what to do Macario is paralyzed with indecision. He considers casting a spell but stops; thinking it would do more harm than good.

Amaterasu tries to dance around behind the bugbear before bring her blade down into its back, trying to bite into the bugbear taunting her with its presence.
"Die foul creature!" she cries.
