Yeah, our sorcerer got one shot by the goblins. Later on a mage wanted to punish whatever attacked him with magic missile and accidentally killed him. Now bro's a meme for dying in the first round.
Speaking of the bugbear, we were all at 1 hp at the end of the fight, and only because we managed to turn goblins to our side (and Kelemvorism).
Our mage used it to create an image of a scale on a wall in an orc cave, which has distracted them, allowing another character to telepathically convince orcs' leader (an ogre) that he's a champion of Kelemvor and needs to kill those orcs
