You are faced with two bugbears guarding two innocent girls, they're controlled by an unseen enemy
Yo I read nothing about them guarding the girls or being controlled by Nezzer. There is no sign they're not capable of making their own decision and it loks like they're here to guard their boss not the girls
do you...
A)Attack them against all odds
B)Run and regroup
C)Try to rescue the girls
D)Run into a broom closet
Oh, I'm sorry, was I not speaking comprehensible English?
I
D) run into a broom closet.
Why?
A)Attack them against all oddsI'm not a Barbarian like Cat who can pull that off. The bugbears alone will tear me apart before I can do any significant damage, even expending all my Ki points and the e badger ring. And there's the invisible nigger who can easily off me from the distance with high tier magic while I'm busy. That's an idiot hero adventurer move. I am neither. Plus this is exactly what the enemy (DM) expects. Lastly I just gave a motivational speech to make them question their loyalty. I can't attack them immediately afterwards.
B)Run and regroupThat's plan B, but not a good plan B.
C)Try to rescue the girlsHow am I supposed to do that? I can't even pick up one of them and run, let alone two.
D)Run into a broom closetYes.
I'm sure Nezzer's hiding in the broom closet making his voice appear like he's still in the main room.
Look, if this interferes with your scripted event too much, you can simply have him lock the door with magic. In this case i will use plan B. That is, run out and lure the bugbears to the bulette and bird friends. Once they're away from the girls, I'll firebomb them. The mayhem should attract the monsters while I gtfo. But I prefer the heroic broom closet path. Monk Subclass: Warrior of the Broom Closet
If it wasn't for the girls, I would have set everything on fire, the bedrolls and packs. The smoke would have swiftly solved the problem while I non-breathe for an hour until everyone else is dead.
