Area Description
Place your characters on whatever adjoining square you left from the last area.
This area shimmers with a red hue like the other areas of the grove. On either side of the dirt path, there is 2 rows of huge rib bones protruding from the ground, and ending close to the forest canopy. The bone is milkish white and semi-translucent. In the corner of this section of the grove stands 2 small shelters made of various pieces of branches, some strap metal and wood.
Key

Conditions
The giant ribcage ribs (object 1) have 2 feet in between each rib and can be passed through by walking. The ribs provide cover.
A creature can pass through a shelter (object 2) as difficult terrain, destroying the shelter as they move through it (each square walked across converts from difficult terrain to standard terrain).
Tactics
The Bugbear Warrior will try to maneuver around to get behind the PC's. The Goblin Sharpshooters, remain behind cover and the Goblin Cutter charges at the PC's head on, with no preference for its target.
