Glyph attempts to knockout the surprise attackers.

Sleep lvl 2: 7d8 ⇒ (2, 2, 8, 5, 1, 7, 6) = 31

I hope that's enough

Sorry, just waiting to see if Glyph's spell drops any of the creatures before I wade in (or cast a spell)

One of the three bugbears sways slightly before falling to the ground asleep.

Ok, thanks!

Quickly kneeling over the prone Arda, Grimm intones the words to a healing prayer. He then swings his hammer at the creature before him, protecting Arda until she has a chance to recover.

Healing Word (2nd level): 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 2) + 4 = 10

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Healing Word is a bonus action

Round 1, Feinting Attack

Marcus slips in, faking low, and attacking the other standing ogre with a jab to the face.

Rapier Att: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Rapier Dam: 1d8 + 4 + 2 + 1d8 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 2 + (4) = 15

The bugbears charge into the room and are met with spells and blows from Grimm and Marcus. One of the bugbears is looking rough, while one stopped short to wake their partner who stands sleepily.

With only one bugbear on the front line it doesn't back down despite his wounds.

Bugbear Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
1d2 ⇒ 2
Morningstar: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (5, 8) + 2 = 15

Marcus takes 15 piercing damage, if you parry just do so in your next post.

Lenthus Death Save: 1d20 ⇒ 9 failure

Everyone may act!

Round 2, Reaction to Parry, Feinting Attack

Marcus parries the attack.

Superiority: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

He then slips in, faking low, and attacking the front line ogre with a jab to the face.

Rapier Att: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Rapier Att Adv: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Rapier Dam: 1d8 + 4 + 2 + 1d8 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 2 + (8) = 17

Glyph attempts to finish off the injured Bugbear.

Firebolt: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 4

-Posted with Wayfinder

Grimm strikes once again with his hammer at the wounded beast.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Arda blinks back to consciousness and groans. Seeing the bugbears right next her shocks her back to alertness. Grabbing her scimitar and growling, she angrily strikes at one of the creatures.

She attacks the one in front if it's not finished off yet, otherwise will try for the one waking their friend if possible - most likely would only be able to get up from prone and move to it unless it's quite close by.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Grimm's hammer brings down the bugbear as Marcus mitigates the damage from its attack, the creature slumps to the ground dead as the other meet Marcus and Arda in combat.

Arda cuts the first's armor deep enough to leave a gash while Marcus uses the opening to feint to the side and land a blow through the hole badly wounding the chest and shoulder of the bugbear as it roars only to get a firebolt in it's open maw. Chocking for a moment it dies in severe pain.

The partner that woke from sleep runs up and strikes.

1d2 ⇒ 2
Bugbear Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Damage: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (7, 3) + 2 = 12

Arda takes 12 piercing damage and falls to the floor once more.

Lenthus Death Save: 1d20 ⇒ 7 Dead

Grimm once again swings his mighty hammer at the remaining bugbear.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Seems to be a habit with my characters the past week or two. ;)

Death save: 1d20 ⇒ 11

Success: 1
Fail: 0

You could have just stayed asleep. says Glyph and then flings fire toward him.

Firebolt: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 8

Round 3

Marcus attacks with his rapier.

Rapier Att: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Rapier Dam: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 2 = 11

Grim cannot land a solid blow, but Glyph's bolt of fiery magic strikes it in the arm giving it enough pause that Marcus lands a dangerous blow injuring the creature.

Moral: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (18) - 1 = 17

Gritting its teeth it swings at Marcus thinking if he takes down the fighter the rest will follow.

Bugbear Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

But its wounds make it flinch and the attack is slow and sloppy.

You all may act assuming this site stays stable.

Death save: 1d20 ⇒ 3

Success: 1
Fail: 1

Round 4, Second Wind

Marcus attacks with his rapier.

Rapier Att: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Rapier Dam: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 2 = 14

Marcus takes a deep breadth drawing on his reserves to focus on his injuries.

Second Wind: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Glyph feels if he can burn him once then he can do it again.

Firebolt: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22 Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 6

Grimm takes another swing at the brute, but also keeps his eye on Alda vowing if the creature is still standing after this onslaught, he will disengage and help the poor girl.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

The bugbear falls to Glyph's fire bolt after it managed to avoid Marcus and Grimm.

Combat is over, but we are still moving round by round. Arda needs to make a death saving throw.

Death save: 1d20 ⇒ 16

Success: 2
Fail: 1

Moving to the strickened druid, Grimm lays his hand upon her forehead and intoned a prayer.

Casting Spare the dying on Arda

Arda wakes up with a start and lurches forward before noticing the pain in her side. You all find yourselves alone once more, well accept for a gnome who is useless in a fight. A secret door lies open in front of you, what do you do?

I am in desparate need of a rest.

I am open to find a place to rest.

The secret door does it appear to open to just a room, or a corridor or something else?

Updated Map

In the room past the Ogre's quarters you find a small room with a staircase leading to a stone wall with a handle - what appears to be the backside of a secret door.

This room could be a good place to hold up for some sleep, we'll just need to barricade the doors. Anyone else okay with that?

"Sounds good to me. I could use a little rest and prayer!"

Grimm looks around for something big enough to block the door.

I'll call that an investigation check if someone wants to attempt it with advantage.

Investigate: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Investigate advantage : 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

so much for advantage

Arda agrees and starts looking around as well, even though she isn't really sure what would work best. Got a penalty on those checks, but let's go for it!

Int: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2
Int: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (15) - 1 = 14 Wow. Seems like a '14' kinda day!

Grimm joins in looking for a way to block the door.

Int: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10
Int (adv): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21
