Beefy picks the arrows out of his hide and body and tosses them away. "Why is everybody running? Can't handle one old Bugbear?" He chugs another one of his potions. (43) He then turns to Alcashia, sizing up the Tiefling. The guard takes out his sword and charges Alcashia, brave to the end.
Att: 23
Dmg: 18
The guard, on his last legs, delivers a cut to Alcashia's chest, drawing blood. The Tiefling snarls and casts Hellish Rebuke on the guard.
Dex Save: 14
Dmg: 12
Pointing at the guard, Hellish flames engulf the guard. When they die down, there's nothing left but ash. He then turns to the Bugbear. "I'm not running." He says with a horrible smile, death in his eyes.

Lyssma looses 4 more arrows at the bugbear, her desperation growing. Why won’t you die, she mutters in her native tongue. Assuming she’s found a tree or a wall, she will climb higher in order to get a better vantage point.
// As a reminder, Beefy’s speed is reduced by 10 feet, and he takes 2d6 slashing damage the first time on each turn he moves 1 foot or more without teleporting. Here’s damage for that: 6 //
Action against Beefy, sworn enemy: Oathbow Attack: 28 Damage: 30 piercing & force Oathbow Attack: 35 Damage: 46 piercing & force
Bonus action: Oathbow Attack: 32 Damage: 18 piercing & force Oathbow Attack: 23 Damage: 23 piercing & force
Extra Sneak Attack damage if any of the four attacks hit: 13
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As Beefy runs past Gorgox will use his reaction to make an opportunity attack Attack: 28 Damage: 13 upon a hit I will attempt to make a Trip Attack: Upon a successful hit you can attempt to trip your opponent with the chain (he must be no more than one size larger than you). Opponent then makes a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check (the target chooses the ability to use) against the trip DC 21 (8 + Prof + Str or Dex), if he fails he is prone (he probably has disadvantage as he is running)

Relentless Rage: 17
Beefy finally succumbs to the onslaught of arrows. He falls to his knees, breathing hard. Suddenly, a figure appears. It has no noticeable face, but merely a white smear with some streaks of color. Dressed in long black robes, it moves toward Beefy. It is the figure of Death. But Beefy raises his head with a last effort and gives the loudest bellow you've ever heard. The figure is shredded into wisps of smoke by the force of the yell, which Beefy then inhales. As he does so, his eyes turn into black pools and dark flames cover his body. Death does not come for Beefy. Beefy comes for Death....

(This is still combat, and Alcashia, Grishkar, and Isala still have to go)

From his purchase atop the building, Isala shouts to the town "You see, now? These are the ones who tricked you into naming them heroes! Abominations! Hellspawn! Fell creatures thirsting to drag you to the pit with them! We are your salvation!"
With that, he rushes down to street level, careful to stay 50 feet away from Beefy, and disappears.
In this state, Beefy is perpetually in one hit point, so I'm not even going to roll.
The town is more awed by Beefy's power to overcome death, too stupid to be scared.
Beefy snarls and looks around, searching for you. Due to his body hosting Death, he spots you no problem. To him you are a hazy black outline. (Disadvantage on rolls affecting you)

Alcashia senses the presence of Death in his enemy, and hatches a plan. Excellent. A new experiment... he thinks. He then casts Enervation at Beefy.

Beefy, feeling the beam taking Death out of him, tries to stop Alcashia with his axe.

He delivers a deep cut to Alcashia again, but the beam persists. Seeing this, he attacks again.

Caught off guard by the first hit, Alcashia doubles over as Beefy digs into him, almost cutting him in half. Blood pours profusely from his stomach, but he's still standing.

Grishkar stamps his staff on the ground and a wall of flame erupts in front of the transformed bugbear, "Things are getting interesting now!"
(Wall of Fire via Staff of Power: 23 fire damage. Dex save, DC 21, for half damage. Anything/anyone on the opposite side takes no damage.)
