You grapple him good, Martha. It's like you've been a wrestler all your life. Startled, he plants his feet firmly on the ground: 20
OHOHO!! Not today! You've got him grabbed, but he's still up! The guiding bolt slams into him, and he barks out a command to the others. He twists with Martha and Celty misses him, but feels the honey wrath of the honey badger Honey! Ouch!
I'll let Bors and Griskar go before we roll for initiative proper. At that point the surprise round is over.
REMEMBER: MAGICAL ATTACKS OR +1 WEAPONS AT LEAST for the werewolves.
OOC: Bors rolled 19 previously for intiative for this combat, want me to reroll? Here it is if so: 3
No, i'll take the 19. I BELIEVE that during a surprise round, players and enemies roll for initiative, but the ones who are surprised can only make reactions, so i'm assuming you don't have to reroll after the surprise round. In the next round the order is the same, but now everyone can go.
The hunting party walks directly into the Fog Cloud, not seeing anything different from the rest of the world. Once at the cave moith, they see a horrific sight of mangled humanoids and two werewolf corpses. A few of the pack step forward to investigate. On a center human, a raven pecks at the carrion face. Upon seeing the newcomer, the raven looks up and lets loose an unaturally long *CAAAAAAAWWWW*
Like the tolling of a funerary bell, the raven sounds a signal for death. With the bird, the fog suddenly falls to the ground, dispelled with the master's concentration. Grishkar emerges from the nearby bushes and wavea a hand. A multitude of vibrant colors pour fourth and wash the pack, leaving the weakest stumbling in a blind haze. (22 hp affected, starting with the weakest. Lasts until next round).
After the blinding assault, the five bodies in the cave spring to life. Four stand and attempt to grab any living thing they can and pull it to the ground. The one bearing the raven sits up and opens its mouth unnaturally wide. A miasma of toxic gas pours forth and washes over the nearest enemies.
(All enemies within the 15' cone in front of the cave mouth make a DEX save. 8 damage, save for half)

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Initiative: 17
During his turn in the surprise round: Odmun will level his hand crossbow over his forearm at a werewolf. It is loaded with a silvered bolt! With careful aim, he looses the bolt
Hand Crossbow w/silvered bolt: Attack: 9 Damage: 6
(Once per combat, Bugbears add 2d6 to their first attack against a surprised creature! I'll just add that to my sneak attack)
Sneak Attack: 15
EDIT: oops, forgot advantage on the attack. Let's roll it now just in case: 10
EDIT2: Yeah, first roll is better. Let's go with it lol
Plan: Lightning quick, Kia rushes the woman from behind, as quietly and quickly as she can. She will deliver two slashing unarmed attacks, attempting to stun her, grab the tome, and rush out of there as fast as she can, hoping to lead the woman back to the party and away from the children.
But I need a couple of rulings, first.
1. Does Kia get surprise? Here is a stealth roll for approaching the woman from behind, if needed: 11 Ugh, I am guessing that was not stealthy enough, but maybe she is deep in concentration, or asleep, or deaf...
2. If it *is* surprise, will the woman get an opportunity attack if Kia runs by her? (I assume if it is not surprise she would definitely have that chance.)
3. To grab the tome, would that be one of her regular actions? In other words, would she have to grab the tome instead of either moving or attacking? Or would it be her bonus action? Or is it a non-action (like opening a regular door is part of the move action).
You do get surprise. Here's what's going to happen:
Make your attacks against Zuleika. She is in deep concentration and not expecting to be jumped by a large cat.
DEPENDING on how your attacks go, you MAY OR MAY NOT need to make a DEX check to grab the book and not trip on yourself.
I can assure you Zuleika will chase after you, but she WILL swing at you once you grab the book and turn and run, so expect at least ONE attack round from her.

Attack2: 17 for 19 (magic weapon/necrotic)
Spiritual weapon: 15 for 12 (force/necrotic)
