This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Abraxas tries to remember everything he knows about Hypnotic Pattern, especially how long the spell lasts and what wakes those under its influence: 22. He is wondering if he should attack them now or try to slay the new arrivals first.
Harmony saw as they finally got the one down, two still left under her spell. "Let's hurry up and take care of these two before the rest come here!" she told the others as she would ready a vicious mockery at whichever bugbear someone else attacks first.
OOC: Sorry Rai, I should have been more explicit but I was pressed for time this weekend. The players are up, but the only two bugbears in sight are both incapacitated.
Since Harmony and Abraxas are attacking, I will wait for Garu and Aisha's actions before resolving this round.
I went back and redid the math, the correct distance of the spectral owlbear to the incapacitated bugbears is 90 feet. It was 150 feet away when it was summoned, then it spent one turn dodging because it was given no verbal commands, then spent the next turn dashing to move 60 feet closer.
Garu calls out and instructs the owlbear to dash toward the bugbears. Garu also turns toward the bugbears and breaks into a sprint, dashing to get to them.

OOC: Botting Aisha for this round with a longbow attack (or two) at the same bugbear.
DM Screen:
17
6/18
Bugbear WIS Save: 4Damage: 4 Longbow vs. Bugbear: 11 Longbow vs. Bugbear: 12
Shortbow vs. Abraxas (Disadvantage-Vicious Mockery): Lower of 5 or 13
One of the dazed pair of bugbears snaps awake, alerted by cold energy from Abraxas. It quickly nocks an arrow and lets fly toward the mage, but is distracted as Harmony insults him, and the shot misses its mark. Aisha's arrows tangle in the trees before reaching the bugbear, and Garu continues to close the distance with her owlbear.
Round 5 Order: Bugbears Players <=====
OOC: Garu's placement is a little unclear. She was 60 feet away at the beginning of the turn. Dashing would allow her to close in on the bugbears, but they are also standing in the middle of a 20-foot radius spike growth and I'm assuming that she doesn't want to charge into the middle of the spikes.
Abraxas is 50 feet away, Harmony is 60 feet away, and Aisha is 120 feet away. The bugbears are in half cover from Harmony and Aisha.
Abraxas steps away from the arrow. "Ugh," he says. "Must remember to disarm charmed foes," says to himself. He continues to watch for more bug bears, weighing the number and power of the spells he has memorized against the strength of the bugbears in front of him and those who are on their way. For now he will Ray of Frost the same bugbear again: 20 to hit for 9 damage.
Aisha will double tap (longbow) any 'conscious' bugbear. while maintaining her spike growth. If no conscious bugbear remains by her 'turn' she will instead fire at whatever enemy is left.
Longbow vs. Bugbear: 12Damage: 7 Longbow vs. Bugbear: 21 Bugbear WIS Save: 0
Abraxas silences the injured bugbear with another ray of frost while the second is awoken painfully by Aisha's first arrow. The creature has the presence of mind to duck, taking cover from her second shot, but it recoils at Harmony's magic soon after.
OOC: The last remaining bugbear in the spike growth is near death, with Garu's turn remaining in this round. Giving some more time for clarification on her position and action.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Shortbow vs. Harmony (Disadvantage-Vicious Mockery): 7Damage: 4
The bugbear launches an arrow that brushes just past Harmony through the foliage, badly wounded and frantically making its last stand. Still stuck in the spiked detritus, the creature dodges another beam from Abraxas. As the wizard gazes toward the distant clearing, he sees no further occupants arriving.
OOC: Aisha, Garu, and Harmony are up!
Garu is 20 feet away, the owlbear is 30 feet away, Abraxas is 50 feet away, Harmony is 60 feet away, and Aisha is 120 feet away. The bugbear is grievously wounded and in half cover from Harmony and Aisha.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Aisha tries to finish off the weakened one, from the safety of her ranged abilities even though the shot is tricky.. T'savi still waiting in the branches for a foe that was apparently never likely to come. Aisha would shoot at the wounded, hiding one, until it died, or if it dies on the first shot, she'd take her second shot at another still living target if one existed.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Garu and her spectral owlbear charge through the spike growth, the owlbear taking 17 piercing damage and Garu taking 8 piercing damage as they bear down on the final bugbear. Garu's whip cracks across its armor as the owlbear crashes down atop it, tearing its claws across the bugbear's face and putting it to rest.
The forest falls silent again aside from the breaths of exertion from the quick battle.
Aisha released her concentration on the spike growth that garu + had walked into, but asks the bard Was that all of them? If not we need to finish them quickly.

Harmony saw as they finally got the one down, two still left under her spell. "Let's hurry up and take care of these two before the rest come here!" she told the others as she would ready a vicious mockery at whichever bugbear someone else attacks first.
Hearing Harmony, Abraxas moves to about 50ft from the closest charmed bugbear and casts Ray of Frost at it: 17 for 6 damage.
He remains watchful for more arriving enemies.

He glances toward the statues, expecting to see more bugbears coming from that direction. Does he?

With a look and the word, "Attack", Garu motions for the owlbear to go in the direction of the bugbear.
The owlbear will run up 30 feet - with its front claws it slides up the bugbear's torso.
Attack: 22 Damage: 10
Then with its beak, it slams it deeply into the bugbear's neck.
Attack: 10 Damage: 13
Garu will move within 10 feet of the bugbear and make an attack with her whip.
