Vars's eyes snap open and he bolts upright into a siting position, only to put a hand to his head, "That little...stars above that burns." He looks to Frangipani, moving his hand to his shoulder but no further when he realizes that the wound is out of his reach, "Thanks, I owe you one. I thought I was a goner for a moment there." Frowning, he notices the arrow that is stuck in his boot. He pulls it out, keeping it for himself.
After scrambling to his feet, he reaches into his pocket and pulls out one of the vials of snake venom. "How about we give them a taste of their own medicine eh?" He dips a couple arrowheads into the vial and readies them in his hand. (I'm not sure how many arrows I can poison with one vial, or if I need to use it all up at once.)
He looks out over where the wagon was, "Oh... what did I miss?"
He turns back towards where the goblin's arrows had come from, searching for them. Perception: 11
( one vial is good for one weapon or 3 arrows/ rnds of ammo and takes an action to complete)
(Ok, that's about what I was expecting. Yup, that'd be my action. lol, Vars is so oblivious to everything. I'd blame it on the poison but he's kinda always been that way.)
Vars holds the three arrows by the nocks between his fingers, and squints into the trees, "Blasted devils. Where did they go? Anyone got eyes on them?"
Bjorn sprints across the path, his invisible sandals kicking up gravel dust. He readies his second axe as he goes. (Dash to M12)
In his mind, he appraises the major players. Bernard is no mage, he thinks. As far as Bernard knows, the minotaur could be under a basic spell, easily broken by any of us, in exchange for his cooperation. He smiles at the simplicity. On the other hand, that dwarf has a grudge. Will he stand down if Bernard tells him to? The smile fades. Only one charm left for now. Best make it count.
Sorsha looks at the utter chaos of the battlefield and orders Ruhm to turn invisible again and keep an eye on the minotaur from a safe distance. She then turns and lets the spectral tentacle slide towards Bernard (to I18) and thrash at him.
Tentacle: 18 Cold: 7 + speed reduced by 10 feet until the start of next turn.
She then turns her tentacle-shaped wand on the Bugbear and blasts him with blue crackling eldritch force.
Eldritch Blast: 21 Force: 4
She then falls back (to C26) and drops prone again, hoping to find cover behind the tree from the hidden sniper.

Bernard seemed to be expecting the writhing tentacle to go for him next and dodges the thing as it swings for him. As he does so the greenish eldritch energy slams into him, causing to him to gasp in pain.

Sparhawk, lying on the ground and still feeling awful from the poison, feels his tough orc will overpower potential death. He silently prays to his goddess and will lay on hands on himself (14hp). He will search in the direction of the crossbow boss and try to spot him as he tries to use the trees and cliff face as cover and disengage (if needed) He moves to C16.
"Eberk, come to us" (Sparhawk calls), and to Frangipani "healing if you can please" Quietly so bad guys don't hear
With that perception, you don’t actually see him per se, but you can see the path the crossbow bolt took to you, broken branches, missing and fallen leaves wher the bolt smashed through the foilage in your vicinity giving you a general direction. (W) Distance is still unknown….not far from you, behind the tree in front of you, you think you see part of a goblin foot not quite behind the trunk.
Sparhawk motions with his eyes and head to Vars/ Frangipani toward the goblin behind the tree near him. "Our crossbow friend is right over there, how about hitting him with a fireball Xander." Sparhawk bluffs the party having a powerful wizard, hoping to flush crossbow guy out of cover.
Eberks prayer fell on def ears as he casts his spell to inflict a devastating wound on the enemy before him, nothing happens. The power just did not come forth as usual. His spiritual weapon flickers a bit as it travels over the ground tainted by whatever power that infected the Minotaur before he fled.

Bernard seeing the questioning look on your face snickers a bit and says “ oi, I guess yer God don’t like he much anymore…” he winks at the goblin behind you and with that he is going to swing his morning star at you, using both his attacks
His first swing glances off Eberks armor but the second catches him solid in the side on its return journey, making a sickening crunch as it hits. Luckily, Eberk is a stout fellow and is able to take the hit in stride.
Out of the trees on the ridge an unseen voice calls out, “ oh cursed healers…the undoers of mans work…”
briefly a man comes into view ( outside the grid around the 25/26 on the vertical) still about 75’ or so as far as Sparhawk can tell with the fast appearance. You hear the thwang of the crossbow strings and the all too familiar whistling through the leaves sound.
This time the crossbow bolt catches sparhawks armor at an angle is deflected away, only dinging the metal piece, leaving a small residue of the poison, sitting harmlessly on its surface.
the man with sneak back into the shadows and trees once more. Stealth 12
Here is sort of the map as it stands. Not complete though.
( one vial is good for one weapon or 3 arrows/ rnds of ammo and takes an action to complete)
you don’t spot any hiding goblins.
(Sorshas go)

Nobody saw where he was hiding and didn’t see or hear him move to his next spot.

Frangipani turned and let healing energy flow into Sparhawk as he arrived.
Cure Wounds: 8
She then moved across into the trees again. ( I17)
Sparhawk winks and smiles at Frangipani feeling his strength returning.
Eberk calls back, “I’m a little busy over here.”
The Spiritual Weapon moves to L16. Eberk whispers some words of prayer and casts Inflict Wounds on Bernard.
Attack: 7 Damage: 16
