Lost Mine of Phandelver

Flynt offers a quiet prayer to his ancestors before telling Garet "Watch the door." Bounding up the last stretch of stairs, he leaves the rod in firebrand form as he comes to a stop next Marcon in front of spider G2. He strikes at the spider before him. His enhanced speed doesn't allow time for much evasion by the spider.

Attack: 22 Damage: 8 on a hit zephyr strike causes 6 force Damage and an additional 6 also a hit causes fear.

Hew Attack: 10 Damage: 9

Rigel fails to breach the defenses of the bugbear with his magical attack, but his trusty axe hacks open a wound, albeit a small one.

(OOC: Rigel does not have 10-ft reach with either weapon, so his attacks were applied against BGBR 4 instead of SPDR 2).

BGBR 3
The brute moves about 5 feet closer to the threshold of the chamber in an effort to further surround and contain the party. He produces a sickly-looking spiked bat which he swings in an uppercut at Rigel

Attack (Morningstar): 20 vs. AC 16 (Rigel); dealing 8 piercing damage on a hit.

If Marcon had been in his right mind after taking the first two strikes, he might've suggested back up further into the tunnel to make things at least a little difficult for the bugbear minions. As things stood however, the man seemed unfocused, frustrated, and even edging almost towards another almost feral state, if the snarling and beginning skins skin warping into scales had been any indication.

Yet for better or worse, he ultimately appeared to get back some of his composure in casting aside his torch and whipping out his warhammer to start trying breaking bugbear bones. "I. Won't!" He growled out between strikes. 

Action: Hammer Time upon Bugbear(4). 
(One-Handed, Melee)Warhammer - Attack #1: 20 Damage: 6 of non-magicial bludgeoning. 
(One-Handed, Melee)Warhammer - Attack #2: 23 Damage: 5 of non-magicial bludgeoning. 

The bugbear raises his shield, a buckler that looked almost comical on such a tall creature, but nonetheless was able to absorb both of Marcon's hammer strikes...but the second hit broke the monster's tiny shield into pieces.

(OOC: BGBR 4 now has AC 14 due to his broken shield.)

BGBR 2
As Marcon smashed away his his warhammer, this bugbear pulled forth a long javelin. Gripping it overhand, he brought the weapon down on the barbarian's shoulder, fully intending to impale him from the top down.

Attack (Javelin, melee): 14 vs. AC 18 (Marcon); dealing 10 piercing damage on a hit.

Ronk blinks as the bugbears and spiders appear. He grumbles and scrapes the mouse off his foot, giving it an accusatory look. "This is YOUR fault." The monk runs to join Marcon and Rigel, looking for a way through or around or over before patting Marcon on the shoulder and easing past to stand on the farmboy's right. "Pardon. Just getting through..." Once through, he kicks the butt of his spear, lancing it out at the head of nearest bugbear once, then thrusting it again at his gut before lashing out with to deliver a backhanded slap with one huge goblinoid hand.

Spear attack on Bugbear 1: 11; Damage on hit - 7 piercing

Spear attack on Bugbear 1: 25; Damage on hit - 5 piercing

Unarmed Strike on Bugbear 1: 15; Damage on hit - 6 bludgeoning

The bugbear swats away Ronk's spear, but does not anticipate the monk's quickness and doubles over as the second strike lands squarely in his gut. Ronk's follow-up slap finds nothing but cold stone column before him.

SPDR 2
The spider fires a web shot at Marcon before attempting to scuttle away
Attack (Web): 16 vs. AC 18 (Marcon); rendering the target restrained on a hit.

(OOC: Ronk earns an Attack of Opportunity on SPDR 2, if he chooses to use his reaction to make one.)

SPDR 3
The spider fires a web shot at Rigel and backs up closer to the southern wall
Attack (Web): 24 vs. AC 16 (Rigel); rendering the target restrained on a hit.

SPDR 4
The spider fires a web shot at Ronk 
Attack (Web): 21 vs. AC 15 (Ronk); rendering the target restrained on a hit.

(OOC: A restrained target may use an action to make a DC 12 Strength (Athletics) check, bursting the webbing on a success. The webbing can also be attacked and destroyed; it has AC 10, 5 HP, vulnerability to fire damage and immunity to bludgeoning, poison, and psychic damage).

Attack of Opportunity on Spider 2: 17; Damage on hit - 4 piercing.

Vanzaren moves forward, cutting at the webbing around Marcon.

((Attack: 23 Damage: 7))

Just before the spider's silk envelopes him, Ronk is able to land a glancing blow on the retreating arachnid.

No sooner then he was restrained as well, Marcon's bindings were cut away by Vanzaren.

SPDR 1
Web (Recharge): 2
The spider maneuvers around the north side of the column and reaches out with its forward pedipalps and attempts to grab hold of Ronk
Action (Grapple): Strength (Athletics) 22 vs. 21 Dexterity (Acrobatics)

Somehow, despite his bindings, Ronk is able to wriggle around enough to avoid the spider's grasp!

Seeing Marcon freed from the spider's web, the bugbear looks to subdue him with his morningstar

BGBR 1
Attack (Morningstar): 15 vs. AC 18 (Marcon); dealing 13 piercing damage on a hit.

BGBR 4
With Rigel still fighting his spider silk bindings, the bugbear also focuses his attention on Marcon, who the brute squad is quickly realizing is even tougher than he looks 

Attack (Morningstar): 14 vs. AC 18 (Marcon); dealing 10 piercing damage on a hit.

In his turn, Garet will move around 15 feet and shoot again at spider (4)

To Hit: 15
DMG: 10

Garet's bolt sails through the dank cool air of the dungeon complex...and right down the gullet of the massive spider. The creature thrashes about as the missile undoubtedly severs internal organs, before rearing up on its hind legs and keels over right on top of the large fire burning in the center of the room.

Hairs quickly singe and a few seconds later, the smell of burning flesh begins to fill the room.

Rigel is going to attack the webs holding him. (First attack will use his inspiration point)

Flame Tongue Attack: 10 Damage: 9 + 7 fire damage if hit.

Second Attack: 8 Damage: 9

Rigels bonus action will be to cast hunters mark on BB4.

BGBR 3
Seeing that Rigel quickly and easily shed his bonds of spider silk, the bugbear drops his morningstar and shield (OOC: -2 to AC) and lunges at the ranger in an attempt to physically restrain him and then separate him from the others.

Action (Grapple): Strength (Athletics) BGBR 3 12 vs. Rigel 23; if successful, BGBR 3 will drag Rigel 15 feet towards the southeast corner of the room.

Marcon, who had been reflexively struggling his binds, nearly stumbles forward upon being unexpectedly torn free of it all. Confused, he looks back sharply at Vanzaren and squints at the performer. Yet before he can muster up a word to even ask 'Why me?' the noise from the Bugbears back on the offense has him pivoting back around and just barely catching or deflecting their blows with his shield. 

But rather than seize an opening immediately afterwards to strike, the ex-farmhand appeared almost... hesitant to do so. Some inner conflict still warred and left him breathing hard on the spot. Before then with a final muttered curse of "To the ninez with it!", he dropped the hammer and allowed his hands and upper arms to contort, grow, and partially transmute into a more draconic claw that he immediately turned on Ronk, slashing at his webbings, then pivoting again to rake at the face of another bugbear in a reckless assault.

Bonus Action: Release the Fury(Claw Form).

 Action: Dragon's Fury(Attack)!
(Reckless)Claw - Attack #1: 26 Damage: 16 of non-magical slashing at Ronk's Webbing. 
(Lethal, Reckless)Claw - Attack #2: 16 Damage: 8 of non-magical slashing at Bugbear(#4). 
(Lethal, Reckless)Claw - Attack #3: 20 Damage: 8 of non-magical slashing at Bugbear(#4)<Or #1, if #4 dies to the above>. 

BGBR 2
The bugbear will use the help action to assist SPDR 2's next attack.
