[sblock=Peregrine]
Ignoring helmet and shield for the moment Peregrine leaps to his feet and rushes Hobgoblin 1 drawing his sword as he does so. "Damn you, you beasts, face someone who can at least fight you - Cowards!" he yells as he reaches his adversary and slashes with his scimitar.
[sblock=OOC]
Move: 5 squares, Minor: draw sword, Standard: Use Bolstering Strike to attack hobgoblin

Attack 18+6 (hit) Damage 3+4 = 7; Gain 2 temporary HP
[/sblock]
[/sblock]
The halfling's sword slides easily through an opening in the hobgoblin's armor, stabbing deep into its belly. A small fount of blood gurgles from its mouth before it falls motionless to the floor.
[sblock=Brega]
Brega stands, jumps over the table, rushes as close to the hobgoblins as he can, and draws and throws his throwing hammer at the hobgoblin who cut down the poor barmaid.
"Not here, you stinkin' Hobo's!," Brega shouts.
"Not here!"
[sblock=OOC]Breakdown:
Move action - move as close to Hobgoblin 3 as possible, given the table jumping.
Minor action - draw throwing hammer
Standard action - throw hammer at Hobgoblin 2, marking him[/sblock]
[sblock=OOC]Warrhammer attack:
1d20+6;1d6+5 → [4,6] = (10)
1d20+6;1d6+5 → [3,5] = (8)
At least I don't have to hit to mark.
Athletics check:
1d20+8 → [1,8] = (9)
Then again, maybe Brega falls on his face, first...
[/sblock]
[/sblock]
Brega attempts a vertical leap onto the table but doesn't quite make it--instead he finds himself desperately trying to maintain his balance to keep from falling over completely.*
[sblock=Aliyas]
Aliyas is taken by surprise, but only for a moment. She pops up out of her chair, and onto the table, kicking Brega's abandoned mug out of the way as she half-crouches in its place. Her bow slides from its case in a single practiced motion, and her hand moves with blurring speed; firing two arrows off in the space of time most would only be able to fire one!
(Move: Onto table where Brega used to be. Minor: Ready bow. Standard: Use Twin Attack at-will. Attack rolls are 8 and 19, both targeting Hob 4.
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1693400/ Damage is: 1! Yay!
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1693403/ Oh, nuts. I'll Hunter's Quarry H4 too though...so: An extra 6 damage
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1693406/ to H4 as well. 7 total. I'll target H2 if H4 dies before I can attack.)
[/sblock]
Aliyas sends two arrows flying near simultaneously across the bar. The first flies low and wide and sticks itself firmly into the front of the bar; the second is dead on, however, and drops the vicious hobgoblin before it can do anymore damage to the drunkard.
[sblock=Illian]
Illian's face drops at the sight of the hobgoblin's entry into the tavern, shattering the comaraderie of the evening.
"You shall pay for these crimes tonight foul beasts, feel Correllon's Wrath!" Illian shouts, as he reaches under his tunic, pulls out a holy symbol and points at the nearest enemy. Silver flames burst forth from the foe.
[sblock=OOC]
Standard - Use
Sacred Flame on H3, adding 2 temp. hp to either the barmaid (if he can see if she's still breathing, else to Peregrine)
Attack vs. Reflex (Sacred Flame); Radiant Damage (1d20+4=23, 1d6+5=11)
Move - Left 1 square
Minor - Draw Holy Symbol
[/sblock]
[/sblock]
The hobgoblin wails as the silver flames sear his body, and soon the acrid stench of burning flesh fills the room. Moments later the hobgoblin's agony as ended, and so is his life.**
Three more hobgoblins storm the tavern and spread further chaos. One takes a stab at Peregrine and manages to get through his armor. The damage is minimal though, thanks to his bolstering strike.
A small goblin scurries in after its larger kin and tosses a lit torch behind the bar. The whole thing immediately goes up in flames, taking the poor drunkard with it. "Help me!" the bartender cries, now trapped behind the burning bar.
[sblock=Elias]Since things have changed significantly before your initiative, I'm going to pause here to give you a chance to change your actions to suit the situation.[/sblock]
* Since Brega failed his athletics check, he doesn't advance this round.
** Temporary hit points don't stack, and Peregrine already had two at your initiative. You can pick someone else to give them to (the barmaid is clearly dead).
