Lost Mines, Lost Labs, and Lost Hope (RobJFalcon's Campaign)

Dustfinger swears, knowing something like this would happen. He drops concentration on Hex so he can cover the area all around where Az is moonbeaming with faerie fire. (Dex vs 14)

"BLOCK THE DOORS! GIVE HIM NO WAY OUT!" Dusty is overcome with a particular ferocity to see this drow dead, but it's nothing personal. Drow just really hate each other.

Hymir Readies his Earthen Grasp and keeps an eye out for any sign of the invisible drow.

Az Emberi swings at the fleeing Black Spider and catches nothing but air. He inhales a deep breath through his nose and points straight ahead of him toward the double doors, announcing his presence, following him with a moonbeam. The Moonbeam hits just outside the double door, revealing faint motions of dust particles in the air. Hymir trusts the moonbeam location and attempts to catch him in an earthen fist but realizes the drow got out of range of the spell's influence. moves the earthen hand to the edge of its range, just barely catching the Black Spider in its fingers. As Nezznar tries to break free, Hymir says, "No! I've seen this before, you don't get away. I may be an *******, but I'm to be respected!"
Nezznar takes 7 Bludgeoning damage and is restrained.

Dustfinger casts Faerie Fire on the Moonbeam. 19 The shape of Nezznar is outlined in light, and he pauses to look at his situation, and his glowing arms, growling in anger. (He no longer benefits from being invisible, and will take moonbeam damage on his next turn.)

Dirk is up.

Hey hey hey.. hey, okay.  Are you seriously just going to leave without shaking my hand?  Shake my hand for one minute Nez! I extend my hand casting an innate suggestion I didn't realize I had.(marked)  Let us smile while we do it!    This, feels strange.  Does all this feel strange to anyone else?  Nez? Nez, you know you are a lot prettier when have no appearance as I try to cut myself free.  Attack: 5 Damage: 3 on my webbing. Mantle of inspiration on Az, Absinthe, Hymir and Fjolnir Gah... ******* web.  Go get em guys!

Dirk fails at cutting his own web so the bugbear he had suggested to help tries to cut it. Attack: 7 Damage: 14 The web just sticks to the bugbear's javelin and won't let itself be cut. (lol)
The other bugbear continues his attack on Fjolnir. Attack: 15 Damage: 16 The morningstar glances off Fjolnir's armor.

Fjolnir and Absinthe are up.

"Where ya goin, Dirk was talking to ya!?" Momentarily inspired by Dirk's taunting while sawing ineffectually at the web, Fjolnir ignores all caution; Focusing his mark on the Drow, he dashes and slides between the bugbears legs, dragging his axe noisily behind him, making haste to the door, and heaving it overhead between Hymirs' earthen avatars fingers, at Nezznars center of mass.

Hew 8 dmg 10 Mark 6

A solid hit from Fjolnir, hitting as intended. The Black Spider winces and is looking pretty rough. He doesn't have much left in him and he eeks out a labored, "You win, I surrender.  You have me... take me in." His invisibility fades and he hangs his head. The two bugbears pause and look at each other quizzically.

You heard him!  He surrenders, so drop your shit or bugger off Bugbear!  No no, not you.  You keep cutting us free.

I break concentration on moonbeam

With a mad glint of cannibalism in his eye Absinthe charges towards Nezznar, with both hands holding Lightbringer high over his head he leaps into the air and comes down towards Nezznar like a meteorite. 

TThen stops just before crushing his head... Stares him dead in the eye. "If I wasn't a nicer Goliath, you would be paste right now, or something like that." then kisses him on the cheek and puts him in shackles. 

Dustfinger maintains his Hexblade curse and faerie fire, just in case. "Muzzle him, too. Can't trust a spellcaster to speak when some magic only needs a word." 

"I'm tapped out. Invisibility was my last-ditch effort to escape. I concede." Nezznar doesn't struggle against the shackles or show any sign that he's trying to run. He continues facing downward. He drops his staff on the ground. The metal clangs against the stone as another loud crashing wave booms through the cavern.

Anyone who can cast spells or is proficient in Arcana:

The two bugbears look at each other again. The one cuts Dirk free of his webs. They shrug and look at the faces of the party members to try and gauge what to do next. They aren't showing aggression, just confusion.

Okay you two.  Look at me.  I'm the captain now, you work for me.  Grab your gear.  15  I grab the staff. Advantaged roll 21

Without his arcane focus and ability to use his hands there is almost no spells he could do that we couldn't handle... he is defeated

being restrained in the shackles i send my earthen hand to lift Dirk up in the air giving him a platform to speak on, (help action)

Thanks Hymir!

The bugbear that cut Dirk loose has a moment of clarity as the spell wears off. No longer under the effects of Suggestion, he says, "Hey, **** you! This operation is over. Our boss gave up, that doesn't make you the new boss. You don't pay us." He turns to leave, eyeing everyone and keeping watch for any aggression towards him. "Let's get out of here."

(It's up to you to let them leave or not. We left off at Absinthe, so if you want to continue fighting we'll pick up there. Nezznar is not acting so Hymir Az and Dustfinger have first go at it.)

Dustfinger agrees with the bugbear, quietly in his head, and hacks away at the webs around his feet.

Other Hymir, Spider, other Spider you all good with this..... Yes yes begone Bugbears and i suggest you follow the New leadership at Cragmaw unless you want to end up hungry and broke by following Fools.

Yet, haven't paid you yet.  You also haven't done anything to earn yet.  It's called, an opportunity!  If nothing else, he's right.  Alright, let's pack up and go collect.

Absinthe gets dressed and winks at the bugbears. 

"New leadership at Cragmaw? Probably better than the leadership here." They glare at Nezznar who keeps his head down as they exit the room.
