OOC: Tarok - You can use Dash if you would like, but in order to exit this room you have to pass by the wolves, so you're open to attacks of opportunity from all three unless you use Disengage as your action. However, you can't use both as an action in the same turn (with some exceptions, like rogues that can use Disengage as a bonus action). I'll give you a chance to confirm what you'd like to do.
Cinis - Unfortunately, no advantage on the wolves. They are tied to chains, but have free movement within their 5 foot range so they aren't incapacitated.
The bolt of fire from Cinis glances off a wolf, singing its coat of mangy fur.
Turn 5 Order: Klarg Players <===== Argos (unconscious), Bob, Nemean (unconscious) and Tarok are up Sildar Wolves
Focusing on avoiding the wolves snapping in his direction, Tarok bolts outside of the room, turning in the direction of the exit. Klarg is now in sight, still scrambling to flee, 75 feet away near the trail that brought the group here.
Turn 5 Order: Klarg Players <===== Argos (unconscious), Bob, and Nemean (unconscious) are up Sildar Wolves
OOC: It's been almost 36 hours since Turn 5 started. If there's no action from Bob by the morning, I'll bot him for this turn so we can move on.

The bolt buries into the wolf's flank, dealing 9 piercing damage.
Turn 5 Order: Klarg Players Sildar Wolves <====
The wolves continue to throw themselves to the end of their chains viciously. One rod snaps loose as the damaged wolf breaks free and lunges at Bob.
Bite Attack: 23
Fangs tear into Bob, dealing 6 piercing damage as he falls to the floor unconscious under the wolf's weight.
Turn 6 Order: Klarg <===== Players Sildar Wolves
Klarg continues to flee, barreling down the trail.
Turn 6 Order: Klarg Players <===== Sildar Wolves
Tracking: Argos is in Klarg's room unconscious, with Sildar guarding him. Cinis is at the base of the chimney with an unconscious Bob and Nemean, in melee range of one wolf. Tarok is 10 feet away from the room with the wolves. Klarg is 135 feet from Tarok, almost out of sight. Two wolves remain tied down to rods, the other is near Cinis.
OOC: Klarg is only running at this point. Tarok can initiate a chase.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Cinis spotted the wolf biting Bob and had a fit of panic. He snagged the Healer's Kit off of Bob and used it on him. Then he attempted to climb halfway up the chimney again to escape the wrath of the wolves. As he was making his way to the chimney, he called out to Tarok.

DM Screen:
S2: 21 S2: 10
Cinis jumps and grabs at the walls of the chimney, but is unable to find a grip to pull himself up, sliding back to the ground below, as Tarok gives chase to the squirrely bugbear.
Turn 6 Order: Klarg Players Sildar <===== Wolves
"Shit. Hang on!" Sildar hears Cinis's shout for help and makes his way over to the chimney, attempting to climb his way below.
Sildar Strength: 2
He is able to easily scale halfway down.
Turn 6 Order: Klarg Players Sildar Wolves <=====
A second wolf snaps its rod loose while the third continues to futilely throw itself toward Cinis. Both free wolves snap at Cinis.
Bite Attack:19 Bite Attack: 19
As they lunge, Cinis grabs ahold of the base of the chimney and pulls his legs up free of the wolves' jaws.
Turn 7 Order: Klarg <===== Players Sildar Wolves
Klarg sprints further down the trail.
OOC: The chase begins this turn. You can use the Dash action freely 3 + CON modifier times, before having to make a Constitution check. A success means you freely dash, a failure means you gain 1 level of exhaustion. Not using Dash is an option, but obviously means the quarry or pursuer can move faster.
Klarg uses 1 free Dash.
Turn 7 Order: Klarg Players <===== Sildar Wolves
Tracking: Argos is in Klarg's room unconscious. Cinis is at the base of the chimney with an unconscious Bob and Nemean, in melee range of two wolves. Tarok is 70 feet away from the room with the wolves. Sildar is halfway down the chimney. Klarg is 135 feet from Tarok, almost out of sight. One wolf remains tied to a rod. The other two have blocked escape out of the room, and there is no more room for a third wolf to attack Cinis.
Cinis recovered from his slip and threw out another Fire Bolt at what he thought was the wolf he hit earlier. He saw his comrades unconscious around him and had flashes back to his time in the army. So many young lives lost. He grit his teeth, set his jaw, and hurled the magic of his Dragon forefathers at the wolf.

Sildar lands gracefully at the base of the chimney and quickly takes in the scene, slashing twice with the scimitar he holds. "Hold them back! If we go down we're as good as dead!"
Scimitar Attack:6 Scimitar Attack: 10
His first cut opens the charred wolf's neck, dealing 7 slashing damage and spilling its life blood on the ground where it falls dead. The second panicked swing misses the second wolf as he tries to fend it back.
Turn 7 Order: Klarg Players Sildar Wolves <=====
While the chained wolf continues to throw itself angrily toward the aggressors, the free wolf snaps again at Cinis.
Bite Attack:14
Its jaws snap shut inches from Cinis as he steps aside.
Tracking: Argos is in Klarg's room unconscious. Cinis and Sildar are at the base of the chimney with an unconscious Bob and Nemean, in melee range of one wolf.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Cinis rallied at the call from Sildar and threw another Fire Bolt at the wolf that was attacking him. Protecting the unconscious bodies around him was his only concern.
"We've got this, Sildar." Cinis says to the warrior next to him.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
OOC: Just realized (unfortunately) I should be considering these fire bolts at disadvantage since they're ranged attacks being made at melee range.
Cinis Fire Bolt Disadvantage: lower of 8 or 19
The bolt of flame from Cinis flies beside the wolf attacking him and smacks the wall of the cavern, licking at the stone ineffectively before fizzling out.

The chained wolf throws itself toward Cinis and Sildar so forcefully that it flips itself over backwards before standing back up and continuing to thrash. The other continues its attempt to bite the elusive sorcerer.
Bite Attack: 5 Damage: 8
The wolf finally reaches its goal, crunching into Cinis's side, throwing him to the ground unconscious.
Turn 9 Order: Klarg <===== Players Sildar Wolves
Klarg continues sprinting down the trail, hoping that the mad half-orc behind him slows.
Turn 9 Order: Klarg Players <===== Sildar Wolves
Tracking: Argos is in Klarg's room unconscious. Sildar is at the base of the chimney with a dying Cinis and an unconscious Bob and Nemean, in melee range of one wolf. Tarok is 190 feet away from the room with the wolves. Klarg is 135 feet from Tarok, almost out of sight. One wolf remains tied to a rod. The other is engaged with Sildar.

Death Save. 9
(Since I'm the only one making saves and Tarok is likely going to just keep chasing Klarg, might as well just keep it going? He wouldn't be able to tell that I went down from where he is, after all.)
OOC: Man, we did not stack up well against the bugbear and his wolves (and their damned chimney!)... we'll be lucky if we all get out alive at this point!
