Turns out there are other ways of negotiating, the Druid thinks to himself, as combat begins.

"Well I certainly wasn't gonna give these furballs 600 gold for directions. But you're right. I really should've just charmed them when we arrived." Helios replies in Talashar. He then pulls out a new wand, while stepping back, and points it a Grazzuk, intoning its command word "Buh-Dee!". Switching back to common, he says, "I know you're steamed and maybe a little crispy but the smart thing to do now is surrender and join our warband

Talshia scoots back in a hurry, hastily moving her hands in arcane patterns and chanting words. A bright spark springs from her outstretched finger and bursts among them in a brilliant spray of shimmering particles.

Sandor attacks whichever of the bugbears is closest to him, using his longspear. Perhaps he is positioned well to have attacks of opportunity on other Bugbears establishing position.

Irritated by Helios's deceptive actions, Abel hefts his heavy mace and swings at the bugbear that just attacked him, swearing at Helios the whole time.

First Post
Combat round 1
The surprise of Helios' unexpected and treacherous attack quickly fades as everyone bursts into action within the confines of the rubble-strewn alleyway.
One of the bugbears reacts quickest, striking a powerful two-handed blow of his axe against Zeddicus, the nearest target. The blow catces the swordsman off guard, staggering him as it cuts through armor and flesh. Zedd quickly pulls his own sword and strikes back, wounded the buly humanoid.
Seril quickly fires off two arrows as he steps away from the nearest bugbear. One of the arrows penetrates the creature's armor, and the already burnt bugbear lets out a cry of pain.
Grazzuk swears in goblin and charges at Helios, determined to put the tricksome wizard in a shallow grave. The axe strikes hard, but Helios' spell allows him to whether the assault none the worse for wear.
Another bugbear assaults Abel, but the cleric wards off the blow with his shield. Talshia is not so lucky, and takes a deep wound to her thigh as she tries to dodge out of the way.
Talshia scoots back in a hurry, hastily moving her hands in arcane patterns and chanting words. A bright spark springs from her outstretched finger and bursts among them in a brilliant spray of shimmering particles. Unfortunately, she is only able to catch her opponent and the bugbear attacking Zeddicus within the area of her spell. Talshia's foe is blinded by the spell, but the bugbear fighting Zeddicus is able to brush off the effects.
Irritated by Helios's deceptive actions, Abel hefts his heavy mace and swings at the bugbear that just attacked him, swearing at Helios the whole time. The mace glances off the bugbear's armor.
Another bugbear attacks Sandor but stumbles as he moves, nearly going down in the rubble. Sandor attacks this bugbear, using his longspear. Wolf attacks the same foe, but is unable to penetrate the scales of the creature's armor with his teeth.

Switching back to common, he says, "I know you're steamed and maybe a little crispy but the smart thing to do now is surrender and join our warband Grazzuk blinks his eyes several times, but then growls and shakes his head as he breaks free of Helios' spell.
The last bugbear chases after Seril, determined to get payback for the arrow in his chest. A sideways swipe of his greataxe catches the elf, cutting a jagged wound across his chest.
Thanks for adding Wolf, Ks!

Also, next time we have combat, I will try to at least throw together a quick battle map so that you'll know everyone's positions.

Abel swings again at the bugbear, still swearing under his breath.
(re: mage armor...yar, it's my intent that she cast it each day on awakening. Thanks. 
)
Talshia forms her hands into the appropriate mudras and parts them, creating a tiny hole from which radiance shines between her palms. She calls into it, invoking the great lord of the plains, the white bison...a familiar sound to those who have been travelling with her so far.
From out of silver glyphs that arise from nothingness amidst the bugbears, the mighty creature rises; white of fur, long of tusk, cranky of mien.
With a bleat of challenge, it lowers its head and gores the bugbear leader!
(Talshia will try to summon it to flank, if that's possible. It's +12 to hit, doing 1d8+11 damage. If not, +10 to hit. AC is 13, DR 5/magic. 47 HP)
