3. After snowmen in the woods

The battle with the snowmen was certainly harder than they anticipated, but they finally got some rest and are somewhat better. They continue their walk through the forest following the tracks.

The blizzard howls and the snow soon cover all traces of passage, but through that howls, the party can hear someone whistling, and soon, much to their surprise they see a blackclad skeletal scarecrow leaps from behind a tree. Inhumanly lean with overly long limbs, it stands more than 7 feet tall (2m10) and offers a Cheshire grim to the party.

Oh, yes Gimdrus is surprised. He has been on edge all way since Snowman attacked them insanely. He would like to stay calm ans say "not funny", but his instincts force him to jump and try to grab Scarecrow with his bare hands.

OOC:

I'm going rage due to surprise and grapple the Scarecrow. Rolling initiative in case of DM count grappling as start of a combat or if anyone else or the enemy will be initiating a fight.

I announced Gimdrus grapple the thing first thing as he see it jumping at us from 6 feet distance instead of talking to as at a polite distance for a stranger. And I was tying to roleplay a it as a reaction to creature jumping out from nowhere - even before or ignoring any talking. But now as story have moved on I believe that roleplay makes no sense any more.

Gimdrus, not believing the creature is here alone is moving around searching for creature's master or creator, he will not participate the talking until is sure party is safe.

The nasty goblins killed quite few of my kind and took stuff that ensure survival of many more. I would be happy to share some sheers with you once we get things back from goblins, so could you help us telling if goblins were alone? Any more powerful patron with them?

4. We come this way, because it's the way goblins gone, is it not?!

Anne frustrated goes over to save her friends and casts Moonbeam on the evil scarecrow as you see a large Silver moon shine on the Scarecrow.

Note

Moonbeam
Source: Player's Handbook

2nd-level evocation

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V, S, M (several seeds of any moonseed plant and a piece of opalescent feldspar)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

A silvery beam of pale light shines down in a 5-foot radius, 40-foot-high cylinder centered on a point within range. Until the spell ends, dim light fills the cylinder.

When a creature enters the spell’s area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it is engulfed in ghostly flames that cause searing pain, and it must make a Constitution saving throw. It takes 2d10 radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

A shapechanger makes its saving throw with disadvantage. If it fails, it also instantly reverts to its original form and can’t assume a different form until it leaves the spell’s light.

On each of your turns after you cast this spell, you can use an action to move the beam up to 60 feet in any direction.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 2nd.

That's what I did, to me there was a shove missed, so Gimdrus was not on contact, and then Elias cast a Magic Missile, it was only then the scarecrow bgan to make people dance.
