Alice's plan failed, but not completely, the Stirges were already alerted and on their way as Alice races West, she skids to a stop, followed by the bugbears as the bird-like creatures reach them. Two of them split off and attack Bugbear 2 while one attacks Alice.

Being extremely nimble predators, they swoop in and attempt to grapple and strike their prey. The one targeting Alice just barely misses her but the other two manage to grapple tightly onto Bugbear2 and attack, one of them managing to find a good place to strike and wound him. It's jagged and razor sharp beak plunges deep into the flesh of his scalp causing him one level of exhaustion. The nature of its beak is meant to keep a wound open as they drink the blood of their victim.

Alice disengages from the Stirges.
Shoo, I don't have any blood for you!



She attempts to grapple Stirge#2. If successful, she drags it along 5ft W to Bugbear#1 and pushes it onto him while passing by. Then she continues moving the rest of her movement back East. If unsuccessful, Alice moves 40ft West in an attempt to separate the bugbears.

Well, he certainly isn't controlling the birds - or he really hates his subordinates. How are my chances to catch the bird attacking me and / or to bat it towards the other bugbear? It wants blood, I have no blood. But I guess I am still nutritious in this shape. Anyway, I just wanna get the bird to the bugbear. Crusher only lets me move a creature to an unoccupied space.

Yulya spots Alice Run west away from the Bulette with two bugbears in hot pursuit. She casts Toll the Dead, using her goblin staff obviously, on the zombie she hit last time and then retreats 30 ft west with Cat.
The bell tolls and the Zombie is adversely effected, significantly wounding the already weakened creature.
Trying to stay out of reach of the zombie, puts them 30 ft West. Though the zombie catches up, it's used it's turn to catch up to Yulya, but still charged with electric energy it readies a touch to discharge it's remaining energy (use action).
The zombie doesn't manage to make contact but is still charged.

Yulya is miraculously spared but still faces the undead creature.



Cat we need to finish this!
Yulya casts Sacred Flame amplified by the goblin staff and her celestial Revelation again hoping to take down the zombie.

Yulya can sense Nezzer casting something but isn't sure what.

We need to deal with this spellcaster now or the stream of enemies will never end!

M3gan Panther scratches and bites at the tough hide of the bulette as it desperately attempts to buck her off.
It just can't manage to shake her and suffers the consequences, as it's hide is ripped and torn. In return, it attempts to slam it's back against a wall.
You can tell by her scuffs and cracks that M3gan Panther is near her end as well.

Yulya looks to the ghoul and bulette finding herself surrounded by enemies. She leaves it to Cat where she goes next. if the zombie is down Yulya moves 30ft further west.

My day job office had a slide in it, like an ultra colorful child slide that was huge and complicated. At the same time there was a party going on and we were firing rockets into the sky in a competition.

A gaggle of HR Karens set up a ultra-colorful plastic automated train for children and suddenly there were a dozen children under 5 running around and ruding it. In the corcer of this rather large room was my desk. I was thinking they were trying to take my office.

The latest rocket had a flat wide nosecone, awful aerodynamics, no wonder it didn't go very high.

Now I was riding the slide down the side of the building but it was blocked at the end and a fat guy who looked like Randy Quaid was looking at me like I did something wrong.



I get off and walk with some familiar people and I was going home, it was night by nowso I get a call, it's the Howard Stern show, Howard wants Tucker Carlson's phone number. I ask them to hold on and I do have it, three numbers:

*979
1-800
And a nromal phone number.

I say goodbuy to Howard and that was it.

[Round 7][Ghoul will recover in 30 seconds]

Alice disengages from the bugbears and as a bonus action dashes 80ft west, hoping to lure the bugbears away right to the bird-friends. But without alerting them yet.

[Alice's brilliant and heroic plan: 1d100=4, LUCK: 1d20=7, BUGBEARS Decide: 1d2=(2,2), Stirges Decide: 1d3=(3,1,3)]

Alice's plan failed, but not completely, the Stirges were already alerted and on their way as Alice races West, she skids to a stop, followed by the bugbears as the bird-like creatures reach them. Two of them split off and attack Bugbear 2 while one attacks Alice.

[Grapple vs DC15,14,14 1d20+10=(14,15,29)][HIT vs AC18 1d20+9=(23,15),(28,14)][DMG AUTO-WOUND 1d4+6=9]

Being extremely nimble predators, they swoop in and attempt to grapple and strike their prey. The one targeting Alice just barely misses her but the other two manage to grapple tightly onto Bugbear2 and attack, one of them managing to find a good place to strike and wound him. It's jagged and razor sharp beak plunges deep into the flesh of his scalp causing him one level of exhaustion. The nature of its beak is meant to keep a wound open as they drink the blood of their victim.

Leaving Nezzer behind and out of mind, Alice reconsiders why she couldn't attack him.

[Saving Throw[D] vs DC15 1d20-1+1d4=(11,5)]

She just can't shake the notion that he's just too charismatic to attack.

Meanwhile Cat gives Yulya [2d6=3] temporary hit points and fires her crossbow at the zombie again.

[HIT vs AC10 1d20+1+2+1d4=9]

Once again, her shot misses. She moves West with Yulya.

Yulya spots Alice Run west away from the Bulette with two bugbears in hot pursuit. She casts Toll the Dead, using her goblin staff obviously, on the zombie she hit last time and then retreats 30 ft west with Cat.

[WIS vs DC15 1d20-2=13][DMG 1d12+3+2=10]

The bell tolls and the Zombie is adversely effected, significantly wounding the already weakened creature.

Trying to stay out of reach of the zombie, puts them 30 ft West. Though the zombie catches up, it's used it's turn to catch up to Yulya, but still charged with electric energy it readies a touch to discharge it's remaining energy (use action).

[HIT vs AC15+2 1d20+3=10]

The zombie doesn't manage to make contact but is still charged.



Yulya can sense Nezzer casting something but isn't sure what.

M3gan Panther scratches and bites at the tough hide of the bulette as it desperately attempts to buck her off.

[Escape Grapple STR 17 vs DC23 1d20+7=17][HIT vs AC22 1d20+1+3+10+1d4 (31,22)(28,32)(30,23)][DMG 1d6+3+1+2=11+11+11=33 Magic piercing and slashing]

It just can't manage to shake her and suffers the consequences, as it's hide is ripped and torn. In return, it attempts to slam it's back against a wall.

[SLAM vs AC15= 1d20+13=21][DMG 2d10+10=20 M3gan Panther's metallic structure resists bludgeoning so she takes 10 damage]



You can tell by her scuffs and cracks that M3gan Panther is near her end as well.

[Note: Cat's great sword and longbow are both magic +1 so the blade and arrows will not be resisted by the bulette's resistance, they have +1 to hit and damage.]
