A satisfied low rumble of a growl, almost like an evil purring of sorts, resonates from the creature as it slowly creeps closer to Briar.
Should Briar have a sense or feeling of evil from the creature she will call out to it, "who or what are you?"She asks, "Answer me and be warned not to come any closer or I will be forced to defend myself, I mean no harm!"
As Briar is using her voice to call out to it, that should be heard or alert Hanzo, etc. to Briar's location and that she isn't alone. Though she does call him or the others out specifically in order to alter the creature who may or may not be aware of them to give Hanzo, etc. the advantage of surprise, however you see it etc. If it keeps approaching after being warned and is in range of the spell noted earlier then Briar will be forced to cast it and attack.
The creature is now 25ft from Briar, though she cannot see anything but the glow of its single green eye in the darkness. Meanwhile the evil purring is louder than ever, now sporadically broken by hissing and slurping sounds. The eye hovers about head level in relation to the petite hedgewitch, giving the impression that the creature is at least as tall as she. Hanzo and the others, are now about 25ft from the creature's back right flank, and those with darkvision can make out what looks like some kind of skinny bear covered in spikes, with a green glow radiating from its face. It is clear the creature is focused on Briar and slowly creeping towards her as she calls out warnings to it. Those without darkvision see only the faint glow and a blurry silhouette, and hear the warnings shouted by Briar.

Briar feeling bit more alarmed with the creatureand its lack of response to her, feeling threatened with still out the range of her poison spray she opts to direct Dissonant Whispers9 at it to protect herself.
The creature lets out a shriek and stumbles backwards, falling and crawling over itself as if it had just been attacked by a swarm of bees. Briar is now 55ft from the creature, while the rest of the group is now 15ft front right of the creature as is shakes its head and spins in circles on 4 legs.
Briar calls out to her friends, "hold up for a moment if it's not going to attack..."Briar moves closer again calling out to the creature telling it to, "stay put, lay down and don't make a move and we won't harm you any further. I didn't want to hurt you but you frightened me."
If Hanzo and others don't attack immediately and hold as requested Briar will continue to move closer if they beast does as she says to get a closer look at it trying to communicate with it and calm it down if possible... should it prove nonaggressive and does not attack she will seek to heal it using her Healer's Kit.
Depends on the actions and desires of Hanzo and others, that is up to them as well as the creature so Briar will just play things out as it goes, as best she can so if it attacks it leaves them no choice.

Hanzo a little surprised that Briar doesn’t want them to attack this beast but shakes that off and believes the best route is to take the creatures life... Hanzo will charge and attack with both of his wakizashi and handaxe
main hand Attack: 21 Damage: 7 off hand Attack: 15 Damage: 5
The creature side steps the wild swing of Hanzo's wakizashi and prepares to lunge back, but Hanzo's hand ax follows immediately across the face of the creature. As the ax plows into the lower jaw of the creature with the sound of shattered bone and splattered fluid, the creatures jaw becomes unhinged on the left side, leaving a mangled mess hanging by the right side of its mouth.
Seeing the attack coming, the creature jumps over the attempted attack with the quarterstaff. Still in a great deal of pain, and somewhat disoriented, the creature tries to find an escape route.
As the creature turns to flee, Hanzo swings his wakizashi, slicing into the back of the creature as spines fall to the ground. A second strike with the ax, catches the back right leg of the creature causing it to stumble and roll forward, away from the group.

Zaroc charges in with his quarterstaff and attempts to sweep the creatures legs out from under it.
Attack 20
Damage 2
Seeing the attack coming, the creature jumps over the attempted attack with the quarterstaff. Still in a great deal of pain, and somewhat disoriented, the creature tries to find an escape route.
Hanzo will take two more swings at the creature hoping to stop it before it can make its escape...
main hand Attack: 18 Damage: 7 off hand Attack: 21 Damage: 4
As the creature turns to flee, Hanzo swings his wakizashi, slicing into the back of the creature as spines fall to the ground. A second strike with the ax, catches the back right leg of the creature causing it to stumble and roll forward, away from the group.
As the creature returns to its feet, it turns and catches sight of Hanzo. As the eye glows focused on Hanzo, a dark magic engulfs the ganasi.
@Hanzo make a Constitution Saving Throw
