Harukai sees the bugbears react with deadly precision, then rushes in to help Nilparin, moving to flank the bugbear attacking him."Hang on Nil, I am coming!" Concerned about his companion, Harukai attacks with a quick two-handed jab at the bugbear's gut with his glasstaff, following up with a flurry of blows with sharp elbows to either side of the creature's head as it doubles over in pain (at least, that is his plan).

Seeing Harukai move to flank with Nil, Jackson runs to flank the bugbear that attacked Neph. He raises his Warhammer once more with both hands, bringing down the wrath of Tyr.
Attack:20BludgeoningDamage:5
War Priest Attack:15Bludgeoning Damage:11
Having already seen Nil struggle with his attacks on the bugbears, Jackson will strike while also saying a prayer to Tyr, asking the God of Justice to guide his hand (Channel Divinity: +10 to the War Priest attack roll to ensure Jacks gets that full damage die).
After getting hit by the bug bears nil uses an action to disengage and back up before pulling out his horn and giving Nepharius a bardic inspirations (1d6)
Nephrius reacts quickly following the bugbear's attack on her, slicing across his chest with her shortsword. The first bugbear falls with a loud thud on the cobblestone floor. Harukia rushes toward the second bugbear who had just knocked Nil unconscious with a heavy swing of his morningstar. Harukia unleashes a quarterstaff strike to the midsection of the bugbear, followed by two rapid elbows to the creature's head. Jackson, seeing an opprituinity, rushes forward with his warhammer and strikes the bugbear while he is still reeling from Harukia's assault and strikes two heavy blows to the creature's skull. On the second strike, he falls and his eyes, still open with shock, begin to glass over as blood begins pouring from the wound.
The goblin, who had previously passed out, regains consciousness and runs to the corner of the room and begins cowering from the group. Nil is currently unconscious and has failed one death save.
Jackson will walk imposingly toward the goblin, then crouch down and smile. "We do not wish to hurt you, friend. Tell us what we need to know, and you can be off. How many more of you are here, and where can we find the dwarf? We've already made short work of the wizard."
The goblin looks at Jackson nervously and then looks toward Harukai. A look of recognition fills his eyes as he sees the glass staff. He stammers "I.. I.. I am Droop. Droop has always been outcast with cragmaws. Droop came here to get away from the rest of the mean goblins, but the man with the glass staff and those two" pointing two the two dead bugbears "Vok and Mosk, kept bullying me. I have to clean the hideout and they yell and called me names all day. They were horrible to me. They worked for the black spider so everyone was afraid of them and Glass staff."
Slowly standing from the corner, still cowering slightly, he says "What dwarf? Did the cragmaw or redbrands take him or her? The redbrand killed a man from town and has his family locked up in the cells here but no dwarf. They may have taken him to the castle. It's north of the town. I don't know where but you can probably catch a goblin patrol in the hills around the town. They stay out of the town because the redbrands cover it. I can go with you to find one of these patrols, if you can catch one of them they may be able to take you to the castle if that's where you need to go. I just need to get out of here. Maybe I can find somewhere to go where I can get away from all of this."
"They're on the other side of the hideout. We mostly stayed here, but they would take me to the other parts to clean when the humans went raiding the town."
Harukai's expression softens as he hears Droop's tale of woe. "You have suffered much, and at the hands of many. Yet you have been helpful to us so far." Looking towards Jackson, Harukai gestures, "If you answer Brother Greystone's questions to the best of your ability, you may help us lessen the suffering of others -- like the poor woodcutter's family and our friend the dwarf taken to the castle by the Cragmaw goblins."
Assuming the goblin continues to cooperate, Harukai pulls out his bleached purse with the red strings and removes 10 shiny silver coins, handing them to Droop. "Take these coins in reward for helping us to relieve the suffering of others in Ilmater's name. May they be a blessing to you."

Nodding at Jackson, Harukai adds, “Perhaps he can sketch us a crude map, noting areas where there may be red brands and other threats like the bugbears.” Looking at Nilparin, he continues, “Oh yes, and where the cells with the prisoners are too.”
OOC: Hoping to give the DM an excuse to give us at least a partial map...

Droop nodds his head franticly and starts sketching a map for the group “we are on the bottom right room. The next room where the two bridges are has a weird looking eyeball monster but he is tame as long as you give him food. He eats...dead things. We always took the upper bridge across there for some reason. The room with the coffins has some skeletons the wizard enchanted to move around and keep watch in the area. The cell is just to the right of it. I stayed away from the humans so i don’t know where they hang out at but hopefully you can get the jump on them.”
Looting the bugbears finds 45 gold pieces, 27 silver pieces, and a key that opens every door in the hideout.

(Forgot about the damage I took from the rebrands in the last fight)
As the morning star connects with Nil he falls back unconscious on the ground.
Death saving throw on my turn 4
OOC. I presume neph doesn't get the inspiration then.

Nil heals 10 HP. He awakes with a groan and will be sore for a while from the morningstar strike.

Harukai will nod in agreement, leaning on what was, until recently, the wizard’s staff...

Noting that. Nephrius has been quiet lately, Harukai is sure the bugbears are picked clean of treasure by now...
