//I still have hopes that it will less "combat" and more of a kidnapping situation.//

In his tackle attempt, Marav misses the wizard! The man in pajamas easily dodged the wolf, and says angrily, “So! You think to bring me in by force? Guards!!" 

The wizard shimmers as he raises his hands and sheaths himself with arcane energy. He prepares to cast a spell at Marav.

// Players are up! No effect is targeting you yet, but the gargoyles are likely inbound. Still working on a map. For now, treat yourself as 25-30 feet away from the wizard & Marav. //

Rip runs to his left, not wanting to be to grouped up to much and casts firebolt 13 for 6

Ink sighs again, then begins humming as he runs towards the arcanist, enacting his bladesong. 

Quill rushes ahead harassing the mage (help action / advantage to next attack).

Ink positions himself on the side opposite of Marav and swings his scimitar with a booming blade  using the shielded pummel to hopefully subdue the mage rather than kill him out right.

Attack: 25 Damage: 11 with an  6   additional thunder damage should he move voluntarily. 

15 feet, firebolt, then 10 feet towards him

Quill continued until she was about ten feet behind Ink's final position.

// Marav-mage-Ink - ten feet - Quill //

//told you it was an illusion, let's burn his house down!//

"I'm too tired to deal with this," Ink says, then looking up, "but those gargoyles we may have to deal with right now."

// Are the gargoyles incoming? About how far? Ink's looking for the one he put a beating on earlier.... //

The gargoyles aren't yet in sight. The manor is north of your position, but with the high escarpment blocking your view you can't really see it.

Lighting: the time is late, and the moon is waxing. It's dim lighting all around, which some areas of darkness created by tree shadows. 

Trees:  these are young trees that are thin, but can offer half cover.

Elevation: the square O15 is difficult terrain, and so costs double to move through due to its sharp incline. The surrounding squares offer elevation changes as well, but not enough to change movement costs. The rock faces are 10' - 20' feet high in most places, and can be climbed at half speed with a DC 10 Athletics check. 

Just waiting on Flint and Angel now! I'm turning in the night, see you all a bit later!  //

Angel will attempt to launch two Sun Bolts at the wizard and then move 40 feet to I17.

Sun Bolt 1:Attack: 18 Damage: 8

Sun Bolt 2:Attack: 25 Damage: 8

Seeing the bolts basically fly at him, Ink recoils and shouts, "The mage isn't here - and we should be aiming to take him in, not take him down! Rip's right - it's an illusion.... The gargoyles will be real and they'll be coming in hard!" 

Marav looks confused for a second that the wizard is an illusion. He then uses his keen senses of smell and hearing to see if he can determine the wizards true location. 

Perception: 15

He is holding an action to attack any enemy that comes in range, the wizard preferably but the gargoyles will work. He is going to attempt a grapple.

"We should fall back. Let th' wizard have 'is  night, an' us the same." Flint takes up a defensive position on step north of Rip and readies a melee attack for any gargoyle that comes in range. Attack: 12 damage: 12.

The gargoyles can now be seen against the halfmoon in the sky, flying high in the air above you, about 50 feet up.
