Seeing his companions at the ready, Duncan will let the door open, but immediately step in front of it to block anyone from pushing through. ((Athletics 23))
Orro doesn't really know what to do, but even as he gathers energy for a sacred flame, he says "The Black Spider wants us to review the remaining prisoners."
He looks at his companions, frowning and shrugging silently in a "I don't know either" expression.
The creature bats away the radiant flames and draws its weapon. Combat has officially started! One thing of note: there are two more similar creature standing directly behind him, their weapons also drawn (These are Bugbears). I will try to put up a battle map tomorrow morning once I have time; first let’s roll Initiative.
Vulmar, Daphina, Orro, and Duncan are up! You may make your round 1 actions, and I will process them according to the order. There is one bugbear in the doorway. They benefit from no cover because the door is open, but you would be unable to target either of the enemies behind the first one. They also can attack you back however because the door is open.
Already not at full strength after falling into the pit, Duncan is happy to hold the line, but knows this needs to finish fast, and that he needs to protect himself first. Blocking the door so that the enemies hopefully cannot pass and get to his companions, he makes two quick swings, and then holds his glaive up carefully anticipating the enemies attacks, hoping to be able to block them or get out of the way as his companions attack from range.
Vulmar hurls a mote of flame at the bugbear in the doorway, but with fast reflexes, the creature pulls up its shield and blocks the flame (Miss).
Daphina pulls out a dagger and flicks it towards the bugbear in the doorway as well. Sneak attack is included. (Attack: 8 Damage: 10) It clangs off of the furry beast’s armor and clatters to the ground (Miss).
Orro casts bless on Daphina, Duncan, and Kayassa. You may now all each add a d4 to attack rolls and saving throws.
Duncan take two quick strikes with his glaive that both sink inches through the leather armor and spray blood as you withdraw the weapon (-18hp). He then steadies himself, preparing for the coming onslaught.
The bugbear in the doorway takes a strike at disadvantage with a growl toward Duncan using its Morningstar. Attack: 20 Damage: 16
(Yikes! With disadvantage too!)
The weapon tears through Duncan’s armor and sends the youn fighter careening backwards, unconscious.
However, that finishes the bugbear’s turns, but the floodgates have officially opened!
Kayassa is up! Vulmar, Daphina, and Orro may also queue round 2 actions; Duncan, please make a death saving throw unless of course someone heals you first. There is still only one injured targetable bugbear standing in the doorway.
What would you like to do? I have now also posted a map to the resource doc.
Kayassa curses as she sees one of her allies suddenly fall, moving back as she raises her staff and begins to cast once more, firing off an Eldritch Blast towards the seemingly dangerous Bugbear.
Kayassa fires a bolt of eldritch energy that crackles with pure force and energy. It careens into the front bugbearwho falls unconscious with a groan (-10hp [Unconscious]).
Howver, after this happens, you hear a loud clattering and several sets of voices that begin to yell from the north door. There are more people in that room, and they are going to be at the door ready to fight within the next round!
Vulmar yet again sends a bolt of fire hurtling towards the new bugbear that takes the lead spot, and this time it hits the creature square in the chest (-6hp).
Daphina throws her other dagger, but yet again it clatters harmlessly to the ground against the bugbear’s tough armor (Miss).
Orro calls upon his divine powers in order o heal Duncan who gains 6 Hp, and is quickly able to get back into the battle. You then send another blast of divine fire (Dex Save: 13). The fire engulfs the creature as it cries out in pain (-6hp [Total: -12hp]).
Duncan once again in between the party and the enemies, works to dodge all enemy attacks.
The bugbear looks very surmised at seeing Duncan pop straight back up after being felled by his friend just seconds ago. It will attempt to strike at Duncan again, with a similar Morningstar strike (with disadvantage).
Attack: 13 Damage: 13
This time, Duncan is ready. He expertly blocks the powerful strike with his glaive (Miss).
Kayassa is up! Go ahead and make your round 2 actions, and everyone else may also queue up their round three actions to make things go quicker.
Kayassa begins her casting again, the Eldritch energy forming and crackling in her hand. As the last words leave her mouth, the blast of Feywild magic flies from her hand towards the Bugbear that missed Duncan.
Eldritch Blast: Attack: 23 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.

“Yep, and I wouldn’t make The Black Spider mad if I were you!” Daphina adds to try and make it more believable. She rolls her eyes at Orro though.
Orro gives Daphina thumbs up and silently thanks her.

”Then why are you holding this door closed!” The creature grunts as he draws his weapon, still attempting to break through the door.
(Athletics: 3)
However, he still cannot push back against Duncan, and gives a cry of frustration because of the situation.
Basically, you get the feel he does not believe your story (nice thinking though!).

Eldritch Blast: Attack: 26 Damage: 10
Vulmar grimaces. He couldn't reach Duncan, but at least Orro was right there. He didn't have a great angle, either.
Nonetheless he does his best to weaker the bugbear, firing another bolt then retreating one square.
Attack: 18 Damage: 6
Another medical problem. Indefinite hiatus. Sorry, all.
Orro casts healing word on Duncan for 6 hp as a bonus action, and sacred flame on the lead bugbear for 6 radiant damage.
Gasping as he takes a breath from the kind words spoken by his companion, Duncan stands up and again braces for any upcoming attacks.
orro is before Duncan, so it should be ok to act on this turn yeah?
