<strong><span class="bbc_u">Round 1 (party surprises all bugbears)</span></strong><br/><br/>The party unified went to action, the only one not to act was Katarina who remained in the shadows with Howl and watched Heroes of the Banner engage their first enemy together. First to charge and to move was Lalia, she grew more prominent in size as she set onto the enemy and as an agile horse body allowed her more incredible speed she aimed for the farthest bugbear from the three. Her swing solidly connects (22<del>9</del>) (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=161438), her weapon carrying hefty might of giants themselves she skewers her foe seriously with her slender blade (7+6=13pts) (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=161440). Soon after Lalia followed Muula who<em> moo</em>wed down the bugbear with her fierce angry swing and knocked the foe down bleeding and gurgling blood with a solid hit on the torso with her sword!<br/><br/>2 bugbears from 3 left.<br/><br/>Thistle screams and goes to engage another bugbear in close combat, despite the size of her blade agilely finds an opening and fiercely thrusts into the ribcage of the bugbear! Blood oozes out, coating her hand and arm as she thrusts in! While the chaos of melee happens, bugbears morning stars suddenly move and fly out of their reach, some flying far away, some into bush and another suddenly hovers, aim itself and then flies directly on bugbear which Thistle thrust into! However bugbear had been alerted and thus prepared to dodge the projectile ( dex save 17 vs DC 13) (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=161442), but likewise was now disarmed as the weapon flew all over the bushes somewhere deep into the forest and hit something and likely break against rock or tree.<br/><br/>But that bugbear is not lucky, as Ionli moves in as suddenly a magical shimmering blade appears and he roars in pain as it slashes him and Ionli's blade finds purchase as well! Bugbear is in very bad shape, bleeding everywhere and his legs shaking more from blood loss than excitement from recent fucking but he still stands.<br/><br/>As one bugbear was crowded, Alana leaps and assaults so far unharmed bugbear with a fierce swing of her blade! Cleaving into him but he growls as he raised it's thick furry arm to block the blade but end result leading his arm getting badly hurt but blocked most impact which would have hit otherwise his vulnerable torso! The bugbear which Alana struck shouts (in goblin);<strong>"Chief! We got company! Loads bitches with sharp sticks!"</strong><br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Round 2</span></strong><br/><br/><strong>Initiative Order:</strong><br/>20 - Mephis<br/>18 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=161447) - Bugbears<br/>18 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=161446) - Alana<br/>17 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=161443) - Lalia<br/>16 - Ionli<br/>13 - Josephine<br/>10 - Muula<br/>5 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=161445) - Hiroshi<br/>3 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=161444) - Thistle<br/><br/>Bugbears are still surprised and caught off-guard as Mephis sees an opportunity to do something...just before bugbears act further.
