D&D 5E one shot collection - Slave Pits of Quabus, part 2

Slowly but surely, the adventurers chewed their way through the defenders of the dungeon. 

With the cleric missing (Wizzik? Never heard of him.), Ulfgar took over as healer, and dutifully spent all his turns patching up his fellows, while the bugbear kept bashing at him. Nothing the dwarf couldn't handle, while also exchanging crafty insults. Dace sliced through bandits, Bernie kept hidden and stabbed a bugbear through the kidney, while Groot hacked, slashed and threw axes.

But the highlight of the fight was the chain of events following this picture:

Groot, fearing for his life, retreated to hurl a throwing axe at the bugbear. 1, then 1, and the axe landed in Bernie's back. Just as the halfling turned around to insult the goblin, Dace raised his sword to strike the goblinoid. 1, then 1. His pirouette interrupted as his greatsword snagged on Bernie hiding behind him - the halfling fell to the ground, bleeding and unconscious.

As soon as their enemies fell, Ulfgar once again challenged Dace on his callousness. They hewed at each other for some time, until both were sufficiently weakened. In the meantime, Groot sneaked around exploring the neighboring rooms, while Bernie looted the bodies. With Groot noticing muffled coughs, the adventurers agreed on a truce - for the time being.

The party retreated to the manor for a short rest, then headed back down - right into some dungeon denizens, investigating the carnage. See you next time!
