Elias mutters a curse under his breath and turns his focus to the entry door, awaiting the arrival of anymore potential foes.
[sblock=Peregrine]
Peregrine swings a mighty blow at the misbegotten whore of a hobgoblin. A blow which almost parts head from body and which leaves the gobbo dead on the floor (he hopes!)
[sblock=OOC]Bolstering Strike: To hit 16; damage 12; Peregrine gains two temp HP.

The tiny paladin then skips over to the fire-raising goblin and prepares to spill the lifes blood of the raider.

Peregrine swings mightily at the hobgoblin, but barely misses as he rushes past toward the torch-wielding goblin.
[sblock=Brega]
Brega, slightly embarrassed, decides to walk around the table and toss his throwing hammer at the hobgoblin closest to the door, then draws his maul.
[sblock=OOC]
Move action: head south of the table and as close to H5 as possible.
Standard action: attack H5 with throwing hammer, marking him.
1d20+6;1d6+5 ? [12,6] = (18)
1d20+6;1d6+5 ? [5,5] = (10)
Minor action: Draw maul.[/sblock]
[/sblock]
Brega draw his maul to finish what his throwing hammer started, but quickly finds his appointed foe dead on the floor, Brega's hammer still embedded in the hobgoblin's face.
[sblock=Aliyas]
More of them! Aliyas draws another arrow, but movement behind the firepit attracts her eye. One of them was making for the back...the poker players! With the same blinding speed as her first salvo, she fires, draws another arrow and fires again!
(Twin Attack! One on H2 (23 to hit, 6 dmg), one on H6 (11 to hit, 4 dmg)

Aliyas nimbly drops another of the fierce hobgoblins, but her second shot falls short and skitters across the floor leaving a deep groove in the hardwood.
As Peregrine approaches the goblin, he's surprised by the small blade that pierces through his armor and into his gut. The goblin grins wickedly and then scurries away.*
Another pair of hobgoblins rush in through the doorway, but Elias is ready for them and unleashes a bolt of eldritch energy to take one of them out before it ever knew what hit it.**
As the fire begins to spread, the bartender rushes from behind the bar toward the storerooms at the back, but is quickly cut down by a waiting hobgoblin.
The new hobgoblin quickly teams up with another as they charge Brega. Only one of them hits, however, as the other's swings goes high above the ducking cleric's head.***
I removed all the dead things--except the newly deceased bartender--to help clean things up a little. The map was getting a little cluttered.
* Peregrine takes 5 damage
** See OOC thread; Elias's new initiative is 8
*** Brega takes 5 damage
