ooc: surprise round
The hobgoblins, longswords and whips in hand, are intent on the naked human men they are forcing to shovel earth and place it into large sacks.
Kynar enters the small, dimly lantern-lit chamber with his elven curveblade in hand and slashes it into the second hobgoblin, getting the blade past the studded leather armor. The wound is not severe enough to fell the muscular, gray-skinned creature.
Rezak follows, attempting to skewer the nearest hobgoblin from within the tunnel mouth, but misses.
Kynar and Rezek maintain the initiative, attacking again before the hobgoblins can react. Kynar's second strike brings his chosen foe down, and blood begins to pool in the chamber, though the hobgoblin is not necessarily dead.
Rezak stabs again, and this time his dagger finds a sensitive part of the hobgoblins anatomy; the foe shrieks but remains defiantly standing.
ooc: Do Kynar and Rezek 5' step further into the chamber? If so, Kynar can stand over the downed hobgoblin, but he will be flanked by the other two. Rezak could then move to where Kynar had been and let Celythia get to the tunnel mouth.
Will the other PCs do anything this round?
