To Kess quietly, I think you are right, he cannot be trusted to life a peaceful life. Let us end him now and be done with it. When he answers my question, finish him.
"Now to see about that chest. And deal with the owlbear...We cannot let it harm anyone." Clearly Kess is unhappy about having to kill it. "A shame. All because these monsters took it from the wild."

any traps on the chest we should be aware of?
He eagerly rushes the answer out of his mouth.
"No. No trap. Just hard see."

The question answered, Kess moves quickly, finishing the fallen bugbear before he realizes what is happening.
Shortsword to hit in case needed: 15 with advantage from him being prone.
She then searches him for a key or anything else of value.
Investigation with advantage (assuming help from others): 12
Garrick goes to help investigate too (Nat 1+6 =7) but ends up just tripping on the dead wolf.
You only find his hide armor, shield, morningstar, and javelin.

OOC - I'll throw that into my "to sell" backpack. If anyone wants it, let me know.

Go ahead

Kessintra initiative: 23
Garrick: 16
Zan initiative roll 14
"I’m glad there’s at least something we can both agree on,"
Amelia whispers to Kess before they move toward the beast's chamber.
@DM
Since there was plenty of time, would it be possible for Amelia to cast Bless and Guidance in advance?
Initiative: 15
Of course, go ahead and pick targets.

**@All**
Thank you, DM! I’ve got another idea!
**@Zan**
Could you please cast *Bless*? I’ll cast *Faerie Fire*—let’s get Bonuses and Advantages at once.
**@Chipper**
Let me know if you're planning to cast *Web*. If so, Amelia will use a Ready Action to cast *Faerie Fire* right after your character.
Zan casting bless before we engage. ((OOC I can get three of you, who gets it?))
Ooc: Kess, Garrick, Chipper?
@Zan
Amelia wants Bless too! She is going to cast Scorching Ray.
(( bless targets are Kess, Garrick and Amelia. btw that leaves me with one open spell slot and cantrips))
Wonderful. I just need Chipper's initiative and we can start combat.
