Grrrr! We were ready, waiting at the top of the stairs in the stinking moat house. The call came, intruders! We bared our teeth and readied our bows! We saw the pathetic creatures come into the open, crossing into our territory. They were slow and clumsy, easy targets. Hah! We let loose our arrows! A female in shiny metal screamed as two arrows found her flesh. They tried to run like cowards, but they were clumsy, blocking each other!
They scattered like rats onto the ice. Some slipped and fell, hah! But they still reached the wall of the moat house. We shot at them again, sending two arrows into a clumsy fighter who had slipped in the snow. He cried out, but he was still standing. They grabbed a rope and pulled him like a wet dog.
They dared to enter our room, and we saw them better. They were weak, but they were many. We moved to engage them. They used some trickery, some magic, and they could see in the dark. We sent more arrows, one hitting another of them. Grrr! They advanced down the hall. Then they threw oil. One of my bugbear kin was set ablaze, howling in pain. Hah! We met them in melee. They were like a pack of wild dogs, hitting us with their metal. More oil came, but this time it missed.
They attacked, hitting us hard. They used swords and axes and a strange morning star. They injured my group with each swing. Two of the intruders made it to the front, leading their pack. They took down my brothers one by one. Another of my kin was set on fire and was gone. A small one snuck next to me. He thrusted his sword, and I fell.
The battle ended quickly. They were too strong, there were too many of them. We failed to protect the moat house, but we fought like we always do. We will be ready next time, grrrr!
