OOC: Awesome thanks!
Prince Dueragn was pleasantly surprised at his companions combat prowess thus far, it inspired him to do his own. He rushed toward the owlbear holding Winters Dark Bite in his hands tightly and upon reaching the beast he swung, hoping to strike a crippling if not mortal blow on the creature. He then spun himself, bracing his back foot so that the sword pointed at the creature, leveled horizontally, so as to be ready for a riposte if the owlbear gave him a chance.
OOC: If I am not able to reach the owlbear then I'll move my 25 ft into the clearing and then ready a melee attack as a reaction for the owlbear to approach.
Move Action: 25ft move to the creature (not sure if I am in range or not)
Standard Action: Attack with Winter's Dark Bite Attack: 18 Damage: 6
Bonus Action: None
Reaction if missed by attack: Riposte Attack: 8 Damage: 7 [then add 7 to damage if it hits for superiority dice)
Reaction if Owlbear attacks, and hits, someone other than me within 5ft of me: Interception for a damage reduction of 10

You swing at the Owlbear with Winter's Dark Bite. A deep gash opening up in its feathery, fur-covered hide. You notice that it cuts a little deeper than you would have thought and swings a little easier, dealing 11 damage to the beast. It roars in pain and rears back and you can tell that there is time for one more action from your companion before it will strike you.

"Well-well, looks like the boy was right and it's JUST an owlbear! Well, Mr. Nasty Bear, here comes nuthin'!" Snikkit takes out the stone he collected before from his pocket and hold in front of himself. A few moments later a very pale bluish cloud levitates up the stone then hurls it onto the owlbear in a surprisingly violent speed.
Prince Dueragn was pleasantly surprised at his companions combat prowess thus far, it inspired him to do his own. He rushed toward the owlbear holding Winters Dark Bite in his hands tightly and upon reaching the beast he swung...
As soon as the lone diminutive man charges the towering creature by himself, the green eyed elven girl casts her longbow aside, the ornate weapon clattering on the exposed roots of the forest floor as she runs after him.
While the owlbear took a defensive position against the magic being fired off by the two casters, Ghost silently thanked her friends for limiting its range of vision, quickly yet quietly making her way around the melee (hide bonus action)...
In the distance, you can make out the mouth of a cave entrance somewhat hidden and flanked by vegetation and brush on either side which would obscure it from view if one was not directly following the tracks.
...and with dexterity only known by an elf, Ghost runs, leaps to one side to jump again off of a young sapling.
Yes! That is just enough to finish it off. Claim your kill by telling us how you vanquish this beast.
(oh gees...How do I want to do this? I'm just gonna edit the old post and use this new ending then)
When the owlbear rears back from Prince Dueragn's one-two strike and riposte, the green-cloaked elf manages to jump on its back, knife in her mouth and hanging on for her life as it swings out of the way of Snikkit's catapult spell.
Then the party hears her scream in horror, which sounded kinda stupid because the knife was still in her mouth. It looked like the bear-sized, massive owl head had turned completely around 180 degrees and started snapping at her.
Suddenly spiraling out of her billowing cloak and stopping by one of her elf ears, the glowing incorporeal spirit from before appears out of nowhere to whisper the secrets of Nature and her green eyes glow as if lit up by the phantom itself. Then in complete calm, the elf uses the one hand she was using to wrestle with the owlbear's beak to now pull herself closer, plunging the elven knife in her other hand underneath the creature's jaw, slicing whatever this creature's version of the carotid artery that was there.
At that moment she is no longer the elf "Irena Stormflower" but truly, "Ghost".
The moment doesn't last too long, because when the massive creature collapses Irena cries out while half-crawling, half running, narrowly avoiding getting squished. She ends to a tumbling stop at the feet of Urzan and Betty, a mess of boots and ruffled white hair.
"Go team...Wild H...Headhunters! Yeah..." a hand triumphantly clutching the owlbear-killing knife pops out of the mess.
The arrow sinks into the Owlbear's shoulder with a satisfying 'thunk'.

Yes! Do actions just like this, its great! :)

Owlbear has taken 19 damage so far.

Catapult damage: 9
(Owlbear needs a successful Dexterity Saving Throw (DC 13) to dodge this spell.)

I've been playing my games as "meet or beat", so unfortunately the Owlbear would have saved the throw.
The Owlbear manages to just get out of the way, the tips of its feathers narrowly escaping by millimeters.
The Owlbear lunges down toward Prince Dueragn with its tallon-clad paws Hit 14 and causing 10 slashing damage.
Then reaches out with it's beak, biting at you Hit 10 causing 15 piercing damage.
OOC: Both attacks miss me, and after the first one my reaction would fire from before (attack was 21 damage was 16)
(OOC - it's fine, I would count it as a save too)

Owlbear has taken 47 damage so far (I think I did that right). It's looking quite beat up and very unhappy.
Ghost, back to you.
It's a little hard to do everything in one post since everything about a rogue is situational, but here's a simpler turn I guess.
Bonus Action Hide 15
To-hit roll: 9
If the hiding was successful, the second roll for advantage would be: 12
IF that hits:
Damage: 18

Nature roll to see what we can harvest from the creature that will be of any use to us, like materials to sell or trophies to bring back as proof: 18
