Zanigur jumps up quickly and brushes himself off, expressionless. He wipes his hair from his face and looks up the fissure to see if he had been heard.
Seeing that all still seems quiet, he turns to the others. “Anyone have rope we could use? It’d be easier to climb if we just knotted it and had Puck lower it down for us,” he says quietly.
GMPC Irena - Irena nods to Grimm. "Yes, I think that would be the best idea." She quickly retrieves the rope from her pack and hands it off to one of the others to knot it while she tosses more dried meat to the wolves who continue to satisfy themselves with the meal at hand.
It takes but a few moments, but the 50' coil of rope is knotted enough to make the ascent up the chimney much easier and safer. The main issue now will be moving with stealth... 9 - Irena stealth.
Irena, Puck, and Zanigur all make the climb up the chimney with little finesse as several times they scrap against the rocks and stone; however, you all make it to the top and Puck once again pokes his head up though the opening to find the situation similar to what it was before. He does notice that the goblins now seem to be occupying themselves with what appears to be a game of dice...
Another round of stealth checks please to get out of the chimney and into position.
Seeing the group out of the chimney, Grimm goes to Kara and tells her, "Remember, stop a couple of feet beneath the opening. I'll be right behind you. Hopefully, you'll muffle any sounds I make. I think we each have a blanket, let's at least cover our Shields with them so they're muffled while stowed as we climb."
Once the shield/blanket situation is resolved, Grimm helps Kara up. As she helps Kara up, she casts guidance.
With Zanigur and Irena at his side, Puck gives them both a nod, slowly notches an arrow in his shortbow, aims at the bugbear, and simultaneously with Irena and Zanigur, looses.
Rolling two separate d20s instead of one advantage roll, as I will leave it up to the DM if we still have surprise or not based on how our heavily-armored friends in the chimney fare. If surprise, take the higher; if not, take the first. Also rolling damage in case Puck hits.
Seeing that the stage has been set, Kara rushes in and lunges for Klarg wedging herself between them and the squisher allies at her back. She lets out a roar as she swings her morningstar at the bugbear leader knowing full well that this key figure has been driving these local goblins to treachery - preventing them from receiving Ilmater's forgiveness!
Morningstar: Attack: 8 Damage: 11
(If Kara is too far from Klarg, she will instead go for the nearest enemy. Either way she misses I am sure! Booo)

Irena, Zanigur, and Puck take position behind the nearby stalagmites and line up their shots on the apparent bugbear leader, Klarq. Simultaneously they let loose and all three arrows slam into the chest of Klarq, who staggers backward with the impacts! He looks down in surprise and tries to let loose a shout of surprise, but cannot seem to get out more then a weak wheeze. The goblin guards and the nearby wolf do react to the snap of the bowstrings and turn towards the source. They jump with surprise at seeing the three assailants there and scramble for their weapons!
18 initiative for Irena, rolled on discord (posting this here since everyone else did and I hope now I will actually get notifications for this thread!)

As Puck, Zanguir and Irena prepare to climb the chimney, Grimm notices Zanguir fall. She chuckles lightly.

Grimm whispers to Irena, "I saw some rope hanging off your pack, perhaps we should use it to avoid any further.... complications."

Irena from her hidden position takes aim with her shortbow and lets loose an arrow at the bugbear chieftain!
She then leaves her cover and spreads out some from Zanigur and Puck to create multiple targets, seeking cover behind another stalagmite.
