The bugbears and doppelganger are dead. Combat is over.
Badger looks around. "How are we doing?"
Ash: "I am not feeling well. Can we rest?"
Kristofferson looks around. "Where? I need rest, too, but I don't know where might be safe."
Badger: "We have healing potions. Should we use them and keep moving?"
Kristofferson grimaces. "That makes me nervous. We also need magic to heal during battle; how much healing magic do you have left?"
Badger shrugs. "I'm not at full strength, but we still have options."
