Serak: The bard silently approaches the campfire, crossbow drawn and pointed at the cave entrance. He whispers to the others, "No telling what awaits us down there..." Stroking his goatee as he weights the options, he continues, "We could try to smoke them out?"
Turning to Arkhan and Beetle, he whispers, "If you two can push down those barrels and crates, it will block the entrance. Then Syna can lit up the debris, trapping them inside."

Serak:Cautiously stepping forward between Arkhan and Beetle, Serak keeps one eye on the cave entrance as he quickly searches the barrels and crates for anything valuable.
Perception: 20
His search complete, he slowly stalks around the debris and up the side of the hill, taking a position directly above the cave entrance. He nods to Syna, signalling that he is ready.
Positioning themselves around the cave mouth while Syna prepares, Serak quickly searches a few of the barrels. Inside he finds nothing of value - a few days of spoiled supplies, soaked in rainwater. Disappointed the bard climbs upwards, crouching above the cave entrance.

A sudden blast of heat and light fills the entrance to the cave, as the wooden pile bursts into flame. Hand extended, Syna positions himself along the hillside nearby, eyes constantly searching for anything emerging from the cave.
Smoke billows inside before leaking upwards, a thick column of black stretching to the sky.

A few moments pass and the cavern remains motionless. One of the many wooden barrels crumbles into itself as it burns, causing a partial collapse of the pile. For a moment, Serak feels a need to glance away from the trap the party have laid. Movement in the corner of his eye. Then Syna too... followed by Arkhan and Beetle. Skulking towards them, a huge beast. Built as strongly as a bear, but covered in feathers. A pointed broken beak where a muzzle should be. The beast lets out an angry shriek and bounds forwards.
Initiatives:
Arkhan: 4 Beetle: 5 Serak: 5 Syna: 13
Owlbear: 21
OOC: For this I’m assuming Beetle and Serak are above the cave mouth. Just need to work out where Arkhan and Syna are!
Beetle should be on the east hill from the cave mouth, ready to charge anything that came out.... looking at the map again I guess I meant south east really from the mouth of the cave.
(Arkhan would have backed away from the mouth of the cave for the fire but would have stayed fairly close in case of a fight, so reletively close to where he was on the previous map just a safe distance away from fire.)

Seeing a new adversary lumber forwards, Arkhan raises his longsword before him and lets out a low menacing growl. In an instant he charges forwards, pointed blade aimed squarely at the beasts unnatural head...
Arkhan Attack Roll: 24 Damage: 10
Rearing up onto its thick feathered hind legs, the owl bear lets out an angry high pitched screeched. The dragonborns blade, now covered in blood swings backwards, ready to make a second blow.
OOC: Syna, your turn! If you other guys want to take your turns as well feel free!
Serak: Arrow nocked and ready, Serak turns in surprise toward the hulking beast charging forward. He instinctually aims and fires, hoping they can drop the creature quickly, before any goblins arrive.
Attack: 24 Damage: 8
Reaction: Cutting Words - Anyone hit by 4 or less. Reduce Damage of Criticals/Killing Blows.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Syna slowly turns at the sudden sound of heavy approaching claws, filled with dread. With the owlbear no more than 10 foot away the druid instinctively raises a free hand, sending an icy wind outwards towards the beast.
Owlbear Constitution Save: 13 Save DC: 13
Damage: 1 (+ D/A next attack)
The Owlbears feathery body glistens slightly with as frost takes hold. It’s hide though, too thick for the intensity of the cold to penetrate much further. With a loud hoot it makes to charge forwards.
As the beasts claws grip the earth finding traction for its charge forward, Beetles longsword slams into it. The paladin, faster to react, charges down the hillside closing the distance with frightening pace.
Talon thrusts in, released a short spurt of blood from somewhere inside. Now face to face with the owlbear, Beetle can see an intense rage building in the creatures eyes and braces himself for impact.
Attack: 24
Damage: 8
SOOF! From nowhere an arrow embeds deep itself into the beasts chest having seemingly curved through the air between Arkhan and Beetle. Serak reaches for a second, half an eye fixed on the cave opening, half expecting something else to appear at any second.
With an angry, unnatural shriek, the owlbear attacks. Raising a huge taloned claw off the ground it lashes at Beetle.
Owlbear Attack 1: 24
Cutting Words: 2
Serak yells from across the clearing, the beast hesitated for a moment giving Beetle half a breath to duck away from the blow. An instant later, the Owlbears pointed peak rips through the air, this time towards the Dragonborn.
Owlbear Attack 2: 11
Damage: 9
(Forgot the D/A on the first attack: 27 - So no cutting words on the first attack. Second attack will still hit with Cutting words, but you can reduce damage instead if you wish)
(OOC: Tricky situation here... If Arkhan were to use Shield, Serak would reduce the Attack Roll, causing a miss. If Arkhan doesn't use Shield, he would reduce the damage.)

"Ok sounds like that might work," Beetle says as he moves to the barrels...
"Not a problem." Arkhan heads toward the barrels to start moving them around gently

Beetle give a sign to everyone he is ready....
(OOC: Been a while. I'd say have Syna cast Create Bonfire on the stack and hope he comes back during the combat.)

Beetle will use a bonus action to cast hex on the creature and then strikes with Talon.....
