I underestimated them, Tyrus thinks, grimacing.

"Is everyone alright? I am growing weary, and my magic is nearly depleted."

Tyrus follows Thagakh, holding to a protective stance.

Readied Action: Dodge

Boghadair says "I agree, Tyrus.  I'm tapped out of my more aggressive attacks as well.  I wouldn't mind having a short rest if we can find an easily defensible room. "

Ian provides range coverage for those climbing up the rope to the Bugbear side.

Boghadair scampers down the side of the rift to join the others.

Athletics 7

Boghadair then climbs up the rope (after he dusts himself off from falling down) that Thagakh set in place.

Athletics 17

Boghadair stumbles coming down the rift and takes 6. Bludgeonning damage.

The fleeing Bugbears took the southern most hallway.  From where Thagakh and a Tyrus stand, they are directly across from the northern hallway.  The Bugbears have been gone about one minute.

One the west side is Thagakh, Tyrus, Sildar, Gundren, and Boghadair.  On the east side is Ian and Arafiel.

Im a bit drained to be honest

Ooc: about half  hp and spells

Arafiel looks warily at the climb

Ian looks at Arafiel sensing his concern.  “I have a rope we can use to climb down and let’s see if I can help with your health.” 

Ian cast cure wounds spell on Arafiel 3

Ian then climbs down his rope 24

and gets below to help Arafiel 6

You are welcome.... climb up ahead of me.  I will catch you if you fall.

or attempts too

All team members safely to the west side of the rift.

"Good thing Thagakh still has this."

Thagakh pulls his two Potion of Healing and pops the cap to one of them.

"Thagakh offers the other one to anyone who needs it."

He chugs the bottle containing the magical red fluid to help him regenerate his wounds.

"Those bugbears fled to the southwest path and came back with reinforcements. Thagakh thinks there may be more ahead waiting for us to strike. Also, Thagakh thinks that those bugbears may know where Gundren's brother is."

thanks for the offer Thag but i should be ok for the time being

Another 10 minutes has passed and no change on the fleeing Bugbears.

OOC:   A short rest is how long again?   An hour?  And we can roll one of our hit die to self heal during that time,  or does that only work for long rests? 

When the group is ready, Tyrus will lead the way through the southern hallway with his shield raised and Talon lit.

I think it is 1 hour.  I will stand guard for an hour.

One hour is up.... everyone can add back one hit dice.

hit points regained  3

Tyrus regains 3 hit points.
