chill girls - all is good!

>I'm not sure
Well, I am...

Six cracked and splintered marble pillars line the walls of this hall. A nine-foot-tall statue of a dwarf seated on a throne, a mighty stone warhammer across his lap, occupies the north end. Large emeralds gleam in his eyes.

Dust and debris have been swept to one side of the floor. Half a dozen bedrolls and packs are neatly arranged around a rough-built firepit before the statue. A wooden table stands on the west side of the room between two pillars. (not shown)

And what exactly stopped me from climbing the statue so the bugbears can't reach me? If none of my actions have any impact on how the story progresses, at least don't waste my time by pretending I have 'different options' and just advance the scene. I spent hours working this out for nothing.

I'm not sure how you think you materialized bedding and flammables, this is a stone room.

Completely unmoved by her plea, the bugbears snort in derision and watch as Alice dashes toward the room to the East. Making chase, they stay on her heals.

The door to this room is locked.

Alice desperately fumbles with the door as 2 huge bugbears approach her. She exhales with a sigh.
Oh, hello gentlemen! Very courteous of you to come to my aid, you didn't have to run! But since you are already here, would you please open this do-

Bugbear 2 catches her and attacks with his spiked mace.
By a miracle of the dice, she is also spared and he misses.

Alice nimbly evades the strike and looks at him with disappointment.
Hey now, weren't you listening? I'm not the bad guy here!

M3gan rushes with unnatural speed and makes it to the room by dashing in one turn, she sees Alice draw the attention of the two Bugbears. "Brilliant work!" Using action surge, she takes this opportunity to grab the girls, one in each arm, she heaves them over her shoulders then moves with heavy encumbrance out of the room.

Alice gives her a thumbs up from between the bugbears legs. Even with them blocking her view, Alice realizes the main obstacle holding her back - the girls - are now out of the way.
Thank you, Candygoddess! I'll handle things from here!

"YOU FOOLS! You fell for her inane ploy!" The voice is clear as day and betrays his position, he's simply cast invisibility, M3gan can see him clearly and simply takes his prizes right from under his nose with nothing he can do (this turn) to stop her, she's gone.

Alice turns to the bugbears again.
See? He's even insulting you despite your hard work! He's looking down on you and your lives mean nothing to him! And...
Alice looks around before whispering to the bugbears
...do you reeeally wanna to be associated with some creepy old man who kidnaps young women to do indecent things to them - in public?? That's gross! He's a loser. He messed up. It's over for him!

Look, I'm not gonna attack you as long as you don't attack me. I strongly recommend you leave this room now if you ever want to see daylight again. Things will get ugly in here. Seriously! That's all I can do for you gentlemen! It was nice talking to you, gotta go! Choose wisely and live!
Alice spends one Ki point on Step of the Wind (Disengage+Dash+Double Jump) and dashes through the bugbear's legs and towards Nezzer's position. With a happy smile, Alice takes her Kashtan-type firebomb, lights it and throws it at Nezzer from close range, making sure to also set the flammable bedrolls and packs around him on fire.
With Best Regards from Mormesk!



Alice again holds her breath and uses what is remaining of her 80ft movement to jump at and climb the dwarf statue making it hard for the bugbears to reach her. Before smoke fills the room, Alice again looks at the stone columns from her elevated position to check if there is any chance to collapse the ceiling by smashing one or two.

was about 1:30am here. if it had dragged on i would have gone to sleep
