*blinded and full of fury, Jysten takes a step forward and raises his Great Axe meaning to swathe a path in the fog. He hesitates, lowers his axe and then steps back towards Proclus' voice*
I will find you bear...and when I do. I will wear your teeth as a trophy and.your skin as a cape. Mark my words!!!!
"There are other ways than straight, you know.
And how many enemies do we want to fight?
This isn't even our task yet!"
He nods towards the ranger and his panther. The ground heaves and ruptures beneath their feet.
He nods towards the cloud of fog. It snaps out of existence.
He looks back at his companions. And disappears.
The dense fog gone, Proclus apparently gone, Bugbear and goblin alike looking around.
One of the newly arrived Bugbears (#3) growling, lifts his crossbow to aim toward the very angry looking Half-Orc @Jystn. (rolled a nat 1) He pulls the trigger and the string snaps and hits him in the fingers. He drops the broken crossbow in disgust shaking his hand furiously. Pulls out a bent and battered morning star and begins to charge forward.
Ruff lowers his head and closes his eyes. Heat begins to come from his body with the smell of burning. You can hear distant wales and moans as he channels power to cast Crown of Madness.
The charging Bugbear stops short, suddenly a jagged crown of iron grows out of his skull and a magical magic glows in his eyes. He is currently charmed
Noticing the charging bugabear stop in its tracks, I decide the biggest threat at the moment is the bugabear Jystn was engaged in combat with - charging him with my longsword and shield wielded high I strike him with all my might!
As the Bugbear(#1) turns its attention to @Storm, @Neda "s hands start to crackle with wild energy. As she claps her hands together a massive bolt of eldritch energy arcs forth hitting the Bugbear directly in the chest and crackling into him as he howls in pain the energy erupting out of his mouth and eyes. Finally, once the monstrous blast fades, you see what's left of a burned out crispy husk of Bugbear crumple to the ground.
After waiting seemingly forever to react, @Jystn charges forward and with a mighty swing he brings his great axe swinging powerfully and buries it in one of the Bugbear's (#3) sides.
Seeing his fellow Bugbear slain enrages the Bugbear (#2) in the rear of the fighting. He draws his gleaming morningstar and charges at @Jystn closing the distance easily and bringing his morningstar down heavily on the Half-Orc's shoulder. (15 piercing dmg, [only take 8 because of Rage])
One of the Goblins (#3) on the hill takes aim at the now revealed @Storm with his shortbow, which misses by a wide margin.
The original Goblin (#1) also slashes at @Jystn to try to take down the menacing Half-orc and strikes with his scimitar and it sinks into a thigh. (8 slashing dmg [take 4 because Rage])
Sarippus nods at his panther companion Sanguis who shoots up into the nearest tree to take a higher position.
Sarippus casts Hunter's Mark and zones in on BugBear #2 as his prey -using his sharpshooter skills to draw back his longbow to its fullest extent before launching an arrow at his enemy
*side stepping to avoid the head blow, the Morningstar connects with Jystns shoulder. As Jystn snarls a scimitar pierces his thigh, looking down he bellows a laugh that echoes through the hills* Is that all you've got?!
The arrow streaks with blinding speed toward BB2 striking it cleanly in a seam off its armor. Sinking deep into its chest as the bugbear doubles over momentarily before standing up and growling at @Sarippus
Bugbear on Bugbear violence is an epidemic in these parts of the world. You see the crowned bugbear swing its morningstar at the other bugbear(2) and connect with it.
After the swing the offending bugbear's eyes blink and the fire of madness no longer affects this creature. He removes the crown and turns his attention to @Ruff
Noticing the charm on bugbear3 wearing off, Kan fears that he needs to take car or business sooner rather than later! Slinging his shield to his back, he wields his longsword with both hands high above his head with a fierce look in his eyes. He strikes bugbear2 with all the power that he can muster, but then with sudden surge of energy he turns and strikes bugbear3 as well.

The rush of wings as an owl veers south on an errand unknown.
I’m just getting into the swing of things over here Ruff!
