"Retreat? Nonsense, let us continue to meet the foe in battle!" Bethany says while attacking the bugbears.

OOC: Longsword on Bugbears: 1D20+8 = [8]+8 = 16 1D8+7 = [1]+7 = 8 1D20+8 = [3]+8 = 11 1D8+7 = [6]+7 = 13

You linked same roll twice...

"I do not wish to argue with you, my friend, but we have at least one clear exit at our backs." said Aremus, hoping to reassure the dwarf, "If there is even the hint of our mission going pear-shaped we will run, but we must take advantage of timing! They have not yet organised a suitable defense. There is time yet to strike a blow."

The initial ambush is an overwhelming success, three of the bigbears being slewn before they can really react. The rest turn to flee as Fistan casts his spell, the spider web exploding across the terrain. Three of the retreating enemies are wrapped up and fall to the ground helplessly, but one manages to dodge the attack. The remaining foe bolts down the hallway, screaming to the Ettin in a language you don't understand.

Bugbear Dex Saves: 1D20+2 = [4]+2 = 6
1D20+2 = [12]+2 = 14
1D20+2 = [17]+2 = 19
1D20+2 = [1]+2 = 3

"See? We are doing well. If we wish to remain so, I suggest we try to take that two-headed giant without being squashed by it." said Aremus with his usual enthusiasm. He shouldered his shield, slung his bow, and proceeded to cautiously look to see where the Ettin was at, saying "If this does start to go wrong, as my friend the dwarf anticipates, let us perform a fighting retreat. Until then, onward!"

 

[Kobold Stew]

"Fighting retreats get you killed," says the death cleric, following, with some excitement. He steps over the bugbear bodies as he follows.

 

[Neurotic]

"We did some damage, we scouted and we lost nothing yet. Pushing into the pig sty gets us nothing and risks everything. Lets retreat, let them come after us and we can choose time and place for the battle." Ordrar is typical dwarf in at least some ways obviously.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

"It gets us nothing? What about ridding the world of a two-headed giant?" asked Aremus, surprised, "Can we at least shoot the brute a few times and see what happens? I promise I'll run without arguing if things seem difficult. I just don't want us to give up the element of surprise. We are doing so well."

Dren had to admit they were doing pretty well. They had slain two giants and three bugbears with nary a scratch on them. He glanced to Ordrar and shrugged as the others continued down the corridor after the fleeing bugbear.

‘We cannae leave ‘em,” he said. “Le’s be careful, but we dae ‘ave surprise on our side.”

"No surprise anymore. And two-headed giant isn't what worries me but those from the house." despite grumblings Ordrar follows the group and Fights in the front line. "I will not enjoy telling you I told you so. But tell you I will."
