COMBAT, round 1
Trevor stands a moment in surprise as he watches his arrow richochet off the bugbear and into the stone wall...as he drops his bow and reaches for his blade, it gives at least a couple of the creatures the window they need. The largest leaps over the table, knocking it to the ground with a loud crash and sending copper and silver coins bouncing all over. His sword comes into his hand,and he thrusts it forward, but the weapon is turned aside by the mithril shirt that Trevor wears beneath his clothing.
Coraine rushes forward to defend Trevor from the fast-acting bugbear, chopping savagely with his own sword. The blade tears through his foe's scale armor, cutting a bloody gash across the goblinoid's chest and abdomen.
A second bugbears steps to the chamber wall and grabs his shield, readying himself for combat.
A sharp twang sounds from the rear of the party as Verdis finds a target. His aim is true and the bolt strikes a bugbear through the heart, slaying it instantly.
Ragnok hesitates a moment, waiting for Trevor to step aside so that he can charge his hairy opponent. Come on, lad - give me some room!
Trevor hastily gets out of Ragnok's path, doing his best imitation of a Meld Into Stone spell. He slashes at the bugbear as he moves, and manages to cut the dirty creature's throat with a well placed strike.
Seeing Trevor move, Ragnok rushes forward, but is out of position to strike at any of the foes. Instead, he sends a hammer flying through the air...and smashing into the stone wall about a foot from the dwarf's target.
"Die, human!" shouts a bugbear in the common tongue, charging Trevor with broadsword in hand. The blade swishes through the air, and cuts a deep gash across the soldier's unarmored thigh.
Dara rushes forward and past the frontline into the room. There she attacks the closest of the bugbears immediately with a furious strike of her falchion. The bugbear, intent on Trevor, never sees the strike coming, and the falchion cleaves the creature from shoulder to sternum. The goblinoid stumbles and falls, and Dara tears her blade from its corpse, showering the area with blood and gore.
Kurt hustles forward into the room.
The second of the two remaining bugbears grabs hold of his own shield, and quickly straps it to his arm in preparation for battle.
