The Bullywugs remained motionless for a moment slowly giving each other confused glances mixed with antagonistic glares back at the party. It seemed as if most, if not all, of these frog creatures had no real understanding of Common, or at least no desire to communicate with it. They gave each other strange croaking grunts in what you could only assume was their own language, as if trying to decide what to make of your party.
Unfortunately that moment didn't last long before a loud high pitched cackle, mixed in with the guttural croaking of the Bullywug's language, rang out around the village. From the back of the gathered Bullywugs one of their own began to step forward just enough to be seen and heard by everyone. This Bullywug was shorter then the rest, but their unique dress made them stand out drastically among the crowd. They wore heavy robes instead of leathers and hide, and had a large array of charms and tokens wrapped around them in sets of lanyards which they wore across their bodies. They walked with a tall staff made out of some gnarled branch taken from the swamp around them, with more charms and totem looking trinkets hanging from the end of the staff. As near as you could tell from the nightmarish cackling it let loose, this one was laughing at you.
"Look upon these wretched creatures!" It spoke in common, surprisingly. What's more her voice sounded like a mix between a swamp hag and a diseased frog girl. "We take what we want from them and they come to us begging and pleading to stop. It is as the prophet spoke. These things are weak. We shall continue to feed the great one that has been bestowed to us, and the path to true power will be ours. We shall grow stronger under the master's blessing." She then pointed a long gnarled finger towards the party and added, "Your corpses will make a fine feast for the great one." She then cried out a harsh set of croaking sounds which you imagine held some meaning the the Bullywug's language, then just as simply as she appeared she turned and began to walk away.
Though you could not understand what she was saying, it was very easy to figure out what the general intent was from the way that many of the Bullywug warriors stepped forward, weapons raised, ready to take out the troubling intruders.
Nemeia watches as the fancy bullywug stepped forward. She frowns slightly as she had really high hopes for the peace talks. All the creatures wanted to do was feed something that would give them great power so they could subject the other races to their wills. What bad could come of that.
Raising her crossbow, Nemeia aims at the bullywug that was threatening to feed Nemeia to something. Nemeia attempts to distance herself from the approaching threat if possible. She scans their numbers trying to gauge their readiness. Seeing that this wasn't going to be easy, she twists the stock of the crossbow and fire fills the veins of the wood. As the bolt flies from the crossbow towards the leader, flames wrap around the tiefling.

Bullywug Turn:
With rabid croaks rallying all the nearby warriors to action, the Bullywugs charge forward, converging upon the party from all directions as they attack with their spears.
On Moira: Attack: 23 Damage: 11 Attack: 23 Damage: 11
On Witt: Attack: 13 Damage: 4 Attack: 11 Damage: 5
On Nemeia: Attack: 16 Damage: 2 First attack with Disadvantage Due to Cali: 16 Attack: 14 Damage: 4
On 9: Attack: 9 Damage: 6 Attack: 20 Damage: 7
On Sora: Attack: 16 Damage: 4 Attack: 17 Damage: 7
Disadvantage on the attack due to being in melee range: 11
Cali's Attack: 8 Damage: 9
Even as the crude spears punch past her armor and strike Nemeia, she pushes the arcane energy through her crossbow, unleashing a bolt of energy into the Bullywug next to her while Cali loyally moves to assist her mistress, also attacking the same creature. Their efforts antagonize the Bullywug but is not able to bring it down.
Alarmed at seeing his friends wounded, especially Moira who has been so brave to stand in front with him, Witt is determined to thin the ranks of attackers before tending to his friends. He calls to the others; Is there any way to get to cover?
He takes aim at the bullywug to the south-east, and fires a Sacred Flame upon it (DEX save against DC 14 or 8 radiant damage.) He then quickly casts Spiritual Weapon on the same creature:
Attack: 10 Damage: 10
He wants to rush to the south-east, but is aware of the danger that the bullywugs will attack him as he moves, and stays unhappily where he is.
Witt calls upon Oryn to protect them causing a flash of flame on a nearby Bullywug, while a glowing spectral farming tool appears next to that same creature, swinging at it quickly. The surprisingly agile creature, however, is able to leap back with its powerful legs, avoiding the divine attacks.
9 evaporates into mist and feathers, appearing to the left of the bullywugs informs of them(Blessing of the RQ) . She raises her hand, familiar black crackling starting to spread on her arm, springing towards the 3 bullywugs inftont of her. Channel divinity and Thunderwave, dc 14 Con save, 16 Damage on success, half on failure. “We asked you nicely, fanatics!”
9's form seems to dissolve into mist and feathers before reforming in a new position to the side of the Bullywug onslaught. With a raise of her hand a loud thunderous crack of energy can be heard all around for hundred of feet in every direction. The might of the Death Mistress rings down over the battle field slamming against the Bullywugs. The two closest to 9 feel their internal organs shatter before death claims them. The next two behind them are able to resist the effects a little better but still remain battered by the display of raw divine power.
"**** these ******* Frog ****s!" Sora cries out enraged by the attacks, especially after the brutal strike against her. Focusing on the two Bullywugs closest to her, she attacks them quickly and furiously with her blades as she cuts down one after the other.
Sora viciously retaliates against the Bullywugs at the rear, striking down the one next to Cali with brutal efficiency giving the iron defender more room to maneuver.
Reeling from the devastating attacks Moira points her wand at the ground beneath her attacker and draws the shadows up to surround it "Xirtatnac"
Rusty stands on her shoulders trying to intimidate the amphibious creature, while Moira tries to reach out with her free hand crackling with energy "Mudnerroh atcepsrep"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
With a sudden flurry of red fur, Rusty rushes out of her hiding spot and hisses loudly at the injured Bullywug next to Moira, causing it to flinch from the sudden unexpect divversion. Even with injuries she sustained, Moira capitalized on the moment her familiar provides, calling forth the shadows to coil around her foe with one hand while reaching out with the other. Calling upon the arcane power at her command, she lets loose a powerful shock of energy into the enemy threatening her. The bullywug shudders painfully from the effects of the spell as the cursed shadows dig into its fresh wounds. With a pain filled croak, the creature slumps back unconscious and waits for death to take him.
Bullywug Turn:
While this was happening, the Bullywug behind Moria had moved up to try to take advantage of a flanking position, but as his ally fell that advantage evaporated, and left him still next to a very angry Sora, which he opted to focus on. Meanwhile two of the Bullywugs that hadn't quite reached the group yet bore witness to 9's power and decided she was the larger threat, moving right up to her in an attempt to keep her from killing anyone else. The rest of the enemies continued attacking everyone they could as the battle raged on. This time many of them attacked more fiercely with their spears as they tried to hit with more powerful blows.
On Nemeia: (First attack at disadvantage from defensive pounce) Attack: 8 Damage: 2 Attack: 16 Damage: 7
As the spear slips by 9’s shield piercing cutting at her arm, she grits her teeth in pain, and releases a thunderous, creeping voice across the swamp,”Enough!”, as her very command shudders the physical being of the bullywuf that hit her. Wrath of the storms as a reaction, dc 14 dex save, 10 thunder on a fail, half on success.
The Bullywug just manages to shield its ears with their hands and close their eyes as the powerful death laced wrath of thunder crashes over it's body. It looks hurt as it stands back up to it's full height, but it is clearly not backing down anytime soon.
Nemeia, feeling trapped, drops her crossbow in the muck and grabs the shield from her back. She pulls out a small dagger hoping it can fend off the attackers.
Cali, sensing Nemeia is in danger moves to flank the one assaulting her before trying to dig its sharp metal teeth into the creature.
The clockwork companion moved quickly in defense of her mistress, moving around the back if the bullywug before attacking with sharp fangs and claws. Before it even realized the true extent of the danger, the frog man was already face down on the floor, being ripped apart by the carefully crafted blades of Cali's fangs.
The warmth of Oryn spreads across Moira's skin from where Witt touched her, closing her wounds and replenishing some small bit of her vitality. Meanwhile the gleaming silver scythe under Witt's control moves behind the Bullywug that struck Moira and slashes hard across its back. The powerful divine weapon hits hard but not hard enough to take down this enemy.
The Bullywugs remained motionless for a moment slowly giving each other confused glances mixed with antagonistic glares back at the party. It seemed as if most, if not all, of these frog creatures had no real understanding of Common, or at least no desire to communicate with it. They gave each other strange croaking grunts in what you could only assume was their own language, as if trying to decide what to make of your party.
