Delmalis moves up, focusing his inner energy for a moment as the book described, and releases a blast of acid over the two attackers in front of Twitch before moving to support Sybil, throwing two quick kicks.

Breath of the dragon: 5 Acid, DC 13 dex save for half
Flurry of blows
Attack: 26 Damage: 11
Attack: 9 Damage: 8

Lussa uses her bonus action to cast Hunter's Mark on the thug that rushed past Twitch, and draws an arrow, firing at the same target:  Attack: 15 Damage: 5, plus Hunter's Mark 4.

Initiative

• Twitch - 22
• Sybil - 20
• Xanathar thugs Initiative - 20
• Lussa - 18
• Demalis - 17
• Meep - 16
• Rothran - 11

Twitch takes their attack as their axe takes a chunk from the bandit. Lussa’s arrow flies past the bandit as they reach Sybil.

Demalis channels the dragon from within and unleashes acid from his mouth at the two bandits fighting Twitch.

Bandit Dex Save - 20

Bandit Dex Save - 15

Using his quickness, Demalis moves to the other bandit and delivers two crushing kicks. The first kick drops the bandit to his knees and the second breaks the back, finishing him.

Meep casts Mage Armor for his action before shielding the children. 

Rotthran ducks and hides, ready to take his shot.

Fearless, Twitch swings a pair of axes at the bandit next to them, connecting with one and missing with the other. 

As the bandit lies dead before her, Sybil fires an Eldritch Blast that misses.

Both bandits continue to concentrate their attacks on Twitch.

The bloody bandit attacks with a scimitar Attack: 5 Damage: 2

The other bandit attacks as well. 10 Damage: 3

Everyone post your round 2 actions while Twitch and Sybil post round 3.

"That was disappointing but we are almost done," Sybil states as she flinches her wrist as she moves her hex to the non bloody bandit and attempt to blast them with Eldtrich Blast. 

Attack: 20 Damage: 12

Hex Damage: 2

Rotthran draws his shortbow and then quickly whips around the corner, loosing the arrow.

Attack: 15 Damage: 10
Sneak Attack: 3

Rotthran quickly goes behind the wall again and hides.

Meep will say to the children "Meep the Magnificent will protect you, children!" and punctuate the statement with a finger in the air, casting Magic Missile at second level - all at a single thug.

15 force damage. 

Lussa uses her bonus action to move Hunter's Mark to the healthier of the remaining bandits, and let's fly another arrow:  Attack: 23 Damage: 4 plus 5

Delmalis moves towards any bandit still standing, prioritizing the ones not engaged with Twitch as they apparently can’t fight, and lashes out with his staff and another kick.

Attack: 25 Damage: 11
Attack: 21 Damage: 6

Initiative

• Twitch - 22
• Sybil - 20
• Xanathar thugs Initiative - 20
• Lussa - 18
• Demalis - 17
• Meep - 16
• Rothran - 11

Lussa fires an arrow that strikes true into the healthier bandit, hitting him in the neck though he's still up. The bandit takes a step back right into Demalis' kicks and lands on the ground. Meep's Magic Missles and Rothrann's arrow both strike true but the remaining bandit is barely up until Sybil's Eldritch Blast finishes him off.

Everyone is out of combat and free to regain their footing. When Meep looks back, the children are actually hanging their birdfeeders on a fence post near a crypt. As this happens, the door opens and a dark-skinned, muscular man in black robes steps out. "What is going on here!?" he asks in a loud voice. "Terry the Necromancer is trying to finish his experiments before he has to go home to his baby girls and wife. I can't work with noise happening." His tone softens. "Are those bird feeders?"

Jax nods. "Yep, we're Owlbear Scouts finishing our community project."

Terry the Necromancer smiles. "That's wonderful. Little Terry was an Owlbear Scout too. A long time ago and his community project involved building repairing Mirt the Moneylender's water fountain." He turns to the group. "What about you all?"

Terry doesn't appear hostile, so those who want to answer questions can do so. Others can search the bodies.

Rotthran appears from the corner, "I thought you lot were up to some shenanigans." He tries dislodge his arrow.

Delmalis gives a little bow to the necromancer, "Our apologies, we were just escorting the young ones here. We didn't mean to disturb you."

Terry nods. "As someone who cares about their community and the wellbeing of their children, I appreciate what you lot are doing. One second." He goes back inside and returns with brooches shaped like owlbears and hands them to the children before handing them to each of you. "This is something I was working on for my girls. I have a bunch of these. Since you were helping these scouts, I thought you should have them."

The item is an Owlbear Brooch of Courage

Twitch licked blood off their axes and spat on the corpses, " Slavers...."

They turned and approached the conversation, smiling broadly at the children with their blood-spattered face.....

Twitch got exited as the badge was awarded, their left leg drumming the ground with nervous energy.

Meep will search the bodies, looking for food or anything shiny. Investigation: 24

Twitch, you notice Juls and Jax both smile back and laugh.

Meep, you don't find much on that 8 when you search the bandits. I'd say probably 46 silver pieces and 6 gold, as well as the scimitars. Juls and Jax are helping Meep at this point and search the robed figure. Meep you find a note.

Meep as you're reading this, Juls nods. "They're talking about Uncle Rae. Why would they want him?" Jax shrugs.

Sybil holds the bagge between her fingers and inspect it for a moment before pocketing it, "I thank for your time and badges. I believe we should proceed to depart the city of the dead for more guard populated area," Sybil turns to usher the kids towards their exit path.

If no one else needs to do anything in the graveyard, we'll say you bring the children to the exit where their aunt is waiting for them. She listens to their tale about the assassins. "Xanathars? Oh no. I'll have to tell your dad about this." She turns to everyone. "I'm so sorry. Here, take this." It's a sack of coins containing 30 platinum, which translates to 300 gold.

Once we get back to the Manor, Meep shares the note with the group, and takes a badge with enthusiasm. 

At this time, it's the early evening and folks are leaving the City save a couple of patrolling guards and the groundskeepers. Even Terry is leaving the City for home.

Did you have any other questions for the Wands, or is there anything else anyone would like to do before they leave for the manor?
