@dungeons Grumble, grumble. Listen carefully, you young whelps. Our elf fighter, Dreambones, is in a tight spot, only 6 hit points left. The Giant Badger seems formidable, but we have a chance. Given the house rules, melee attacks are our best option here.

Don't bother with the unarmed or ranged attacks; they're less potent and, well, the ranged is at disadvantage. As for running, that's a choice for the feckless. This badger isn't at max CR, so it's fightable. [1/2]
