Rindelk moves to 11c and casts Fire Bolt on the mean bugbear

Attack: 15 Damage: 6

OOC: WTF. Seriously. Never do we get any good rolls. 

Katerielle runs across the room and casts Thornwhip on Mean Bugbear.  The vines shoot up from the ground at her feet and wrap itself over the shoulders, sinking the thorns into the thick matted hair, and pulling the bugbear across the room.

Rindelk moves around the outside of the room to be up against the north wall, away from both bugbears and casts firebolt at Mean Bugbear, but it hits one of Katerielle's vines instead.

(You wrote move Rindelk to 11C, but I don't believe you intended to be adjacent to a brute like a bugbear that can one shot you, so I moved you to D8 and used up all your movement to go the long way around the room.)

(Kitryn's turn.)

I understand.  I'm not contesting having to roll anything.  It shouldn't be automatic.  I agree.  I just didn't understand why it was deception.  BUT in my defence I have been trying to be creative with the spells that I have, and some times the effects have been very powerful (like snuffing out all the lights so the enemies can't see.)  I'm just playing around with the spells so I can add a bit more depth to the game play, instead of always just sitting back and shooting my sling.  

Seeing as I have garnered the full attention of the tall bugbear, I will take Dodge action. 

E: Small change, dissengage from the tall one and move to the side of mean, still Dodge action

based on missed turns and order etc: Elila's attack negates my need to "disengage" so i will move to C10 and attack Mean:

Attack: 24 Damage: 10

Attack: 21 Damage: 1

sneak bonus: 4

Kitryn's turn happens after Elila...

(I missed Elila's turn.  She needs to act before the bugbears.)

Attack nearest bugbear - Attack: 22 Damage: 10

Rolling another d20 because attack should be done at disadvantage, due to Dodge:

23

Elila takes a mighty swing at the bugbear, who tries to avoid it and fails.  The blow clobbers the bugbear to the ground, unmoving.

(Elila would still have movement if she wishes to move).

Kitryn slides down low next to Mean Bugbear and slashes viciously at the exposed hamstrings!

(The sneak attack is doubled due to crit, so total 19 damage, DAMN!)

Mean bugbear, gravely wounded but freed from the vine by Klednir's firebolt, lashes out at the source of the vine; Katerielle...

Bugbear Attack: 22 Damage: 3

Landing a painful blow.

Elila wishes to move to 11d to protect Kat.

Kat shape shifts into a Bugbear!

OOC: Can she change into a bugbear and attack?

Not into a bugbear, but she can shapeshift and gain temporary hit points that way.  I'll look up some examples of what she can become.

Here's a filter showing a list of valid beasts.  I couldn't filter out Dinosaurs.  They are not an option.

Everyone gets their turn again.

continue to press the attack on Mean bugbear

Attack: 13 Damage: 5

Attack: 21 Damage: 6

sneak bonus: 1

Kitryn follows up her gash to one hamstring with another deep gash to the other.  The bugbear quickly loses massive quantities of blood from the wounds and collapses.

Battle ends.  Everyone gets 120 XP

What do you do now?

Still a drunk on the loose in the other room, track him? Or risk a short rest and tend to wounds?

Elila will advance in the hallway with Kat and Rin in tow. Kat and Rin will stay back 15'.

Which hallway?

The south hall, where the bugbear originated from I'm guessing? I will second elila.
