Deciding to forego wasting time with spellcasting, Ruathen instead leaps into the fray, moving to flank the bugbear facing Gil, and lashing out at it with his rapier.

Padraig thanks Zagnak in his mind as the arrows bounce off him harmlessly.
Seeing the crowd already forming around the axe-wielding bugbear attacking Gil, Padraig decides to go after one of the others. He maneuvers in to get a good shot at one of the two harassing Jasper, and makes a mighty swing at its morningstar...
[sblock=OOC]Move to get a shot at 1 or 3, preferably 3.
Sunder attempt against its morningstar.
No AoO provoked (Improved Sunder feat).
Ignore hardness < 20 (adamantine).
Atk roll stats: +1 Adamantine Frost Greatsword, +14, 2d6+9 +1d6 cold, 17-20/x2.
Add additional +4 to atk roll due to greatsword being a 2-handed weapon.
After sunder attempt, designate closest still-armed foe for Dodge feat (+1 to AC).[/sblock]

Ruathen dances in, working his rapier past the parries of the bugbear to stab the beast in the side. The creature reals as a small explosion occurs inside him.
Konstantine calls for bravery from his comrades, and Zagnak complies, moving to take on the lone bugbear to the north, striking it as it steps forward, nearly felling the thing in one blow.
Padraig engages an overmatched bugbear and simply destroys the weapon in it's hand, the thing feebly attempts to fight back with an arrow used as a dagger. Gil stabs the axe-wielding bugbear, adding to it's wounds. What would normally fell one of these creatures seems to phase this specimen little.
The bugbears fight back, and fail for the most part, the heroes easily evading and blocking their blows. Jasper is caught off guard, though, by the largest of the things stepping away from the others and toward him. The beast's axe cuts across his thighs, dropping him to the ground, and his blood flows freely. As he falls, curses and growls can be heard coming from the tunnels to the south.

Hoping to draw its attention away from Jasper, Ruathen sends a pair of Magic Missiles streaking toward the bugbear he had engaged moments before.

"Oh YEAH, that feels great!" cries Padraig. An ascending confidence soars through him as he easily destroys the morningstar and evades the attacks of his enemies.
Deciding to take on the toughest foe before more bugbears arrive, he moves to the axe-wielder and sends his massive sword arcing toward the beast's deadly weapon.
[sblock=OOC]5' step SE to threaten 4.
Sunder attempt against the axe, same stats as last time.
If 1st sunder attempt fails or if axe is not destroyed, make another sunder attempt.
If axe is destroyed after first sunder attempt, attack 4 directly.
In either case, the bonus for the second attack action will be at +9 instead of +14.
Designate 4 for purposes of Dodge feat (+1 to AC).[/sblock]

Ruathen points at the bugbear that felled Jasper and streaks of energy fly from his fingers to collide with the beast's torso. Konstantine aids his companions, and all feel fleet of foot.
Padraig steps up to the opposing warrior and the two begin dueling, Padraig deflecting the bugbear's axe-blade with his armor again and again, the goblinoid dodging back and forth, wary of the fighter's greatsword. Padraig takes advantage of the bugbear's caution, and when the thing tries to block a blow with the axe-haft, he simply slices it in two.
[sblock=ooc]I'll update the map after Gil/Zagnak/bugbears actions.
Ruathen MM: 10 damage (nice roll)
Konstantine Hastes.
Padraig Sunder(I used the haste attack to sunder, too): 9, 14, 4+ vs. 11, 5, 15+. One hits. 13+2 damage. +1 cold. Broken
Init and Status:
Gil: 29 - 22hp, Haste
Jasper: 17 - 62hp, Magic Weapon (+1), light, unconscious(bleeding)
Bugbear: 17 - 4(40), 1(0), 2(18), 3(10, no morningstar)
Zagnak: 8 (before #2)- , Endure Elements, Haste
Ruathen: 16 - 6hp, Haste
Konstantine: 15 - , inspire[10r], Haste[8r]
Padraig: 4 - , Barskin(+3)[1h], Haste
