My host laughed at Alice falling into the obvious trap but I think she meant well and tried to do something useful when she thought she had no option to attack. Though than was not exectly smart. We must coordinate better.

Not finding any booby-traps, Alice attempts to open the chest.
As Alice fumbles with the lock, before she realizes she needs the lockpick set from Ashley, a fine mist of poison sprays her, the noxious cloud is very unpleasant. The chest remains locked.

Alice is taken by surprise and finds herself poisoned instead of swimming in candy
Damneeed what the hell is that? Who does something like that? I hope you burn in hell!

Alice runs out at the room and straight to Yulya
Yulyaa, the chest - it poisoned mee!

Ashley stands and walks up to the Bugbear Commander using Action Surge and extra attacks, striking him with her bare fists, she attempts to grapple him with a bonus action.
With ludicrous speed, she bombards the Bugbear with blows, grapples him and holds him in place.

Alice watches with disbelief as Pacifist Ashley deals physical attacks to the bugbear commander.
Did you turn her into an Undead? Good job!

Alice stop fooling around and get back here! We need more ranged attacks!

Yes yes I'm here and there are no more enemies in the rooms over there! I hope I won't hit your undead familiar!
Standing next to Yulya, Alice shoots a poisoned arrow at the grappled bugbear commander

As a penalty for disengaging from battle during a dire boss fight, teetering on the edge of failure, you will not receive experience for this round among other punishments I will decide later.

Looking forward to it as always

Haha instant Karma to Alice
Ok that was mean, she did explore if there were more enemies and there could have been a game-changer other than candy in that chest. I don't think her arrow makes much difference now that Yulya will nuke anything. I hope Ashley survives this and doesn't die again.

whats wrong with that? ok guess its stame as reddit for me i just cant deal with it. but youll miss out on a lot of cool stuff
