Renard is the first to act, moving into the room and to the side of the door before loosing two arrows at the closest bugbear. The first arrow strikes the lead goblinoid, but the foxman's bowstring breaks and casts the second arrow harmlessly over its head. The bugbears now turn in surprise as the rest of the party charges in and Renard tries to restring his weapon.
Carl's sling stone bounces off the forearm of the large creature, further injuring it as he takes his place next to Renard. In the next few seconds he sends another shot that hits the same creature again along the arm, cutting a thin trail of blood.
Samuel tries his own sling while moving to the side of the doorway opposite that of Renard and Carl. His first shot goes wide, but the second bounces off the creature's forehead and knocks off a little pointed hat with badly painted red eyes.
Before the bugbear's can act, the other party members get a shot in despite their slower speed. Thorg's attack is blocked by the lead bugbear, who raises his shield in protection in time. Guy takes advantage of the half-orc's distracting move and flanks the lead bugbear, then slices him with his rapier as his witty banter adds to his strike to the creature's calf, though he misses with his second blade. The goblinoid is in bad shape, but a strong blast from Thym's mystical spear that strikes its skull finishes it off.
A second bugbear moves up and tries its luck with an overhead smash from a spiked mace against Guy, who blocks much of the blow with his second blade but still feels the air rush out of him as he absorbs the rest of the impact (-6 hps to Guy). Another bugbear takes on Thorg, but the priest is able to raise his shield in time. Thorg's return strike just misses the creature who blocks the shot in return. Guy attacks his opponent, cutting him badly along the ribs with his rapier, although missing once more with his second thrust.
A fourth bugbear tries to flank Thorg, but barely misses as the half-orc's armor absorbs most of the blow. Renard isn't as lucky. The fifth bugbear circles around and closes with the foxman archer, nearly bringing the lightweight humanoid down with one solid blow (-9 hps to Renard).
