Arom
Yeah, I remember that I forgot to pray my god. I'll be back in a few hours... (Dom's joke)
I'm making sure that my mace is ready.

With all his might, Damnagoras kicks the door another time and it splits open in half. You barely have time for the light of your torch to reflect in five pairs of piercing yellow eyes that a volley of crossbow bolts flies at you. Varick, which was ready with his own crossbow, is faster and lets loose a bolt of his own. It grazes off one of the monster's armor and does not seem to cause any damage. One bolt ricochets on Damnagoras' shield but another pierces through his banded mail and wounds him just below his ribcage. It is a nasty wound that is just below his right lung.
At the same time you hear a SNAP!, as the string of one of the monsters' crossbow breaks and lashes across the humanoid's eyes. With blood pouring all over its face, he seems to be left blinded for a while.
After this initial volley, the monsters seems to be ready to drop their crossbows and charge into melee. What are your actions for the next round of combat?
((Coylian, since you're holding the torch you cannot use your shield. Your AC is 5. BTW, thanks for having all that info in your signature. Varick, a reminder, a crossbow fires once every other round.))
Mechanics: Missile round initiative: Varick 5 Hobgoblins 4
Varick shoots his crossbow 10 + 1 = 11 (Miss)
Hobgoblin shoots his crossbow at Damnagoras 12 (Miss) Hobgoblin shoots his crossbow at Damnagoras 16 (Hit), 5 damage Hobgoblin shoots his crossbow at Varick 1 (Fumble!), blinded for 1d3 (2) rounds!

Arom
((I quickly look at Damnagoras. If I try to heal him, Varick and Coylian are doomed and then it will be our turn))
I prepare to fight. I go for the closest one.
Oil anyone?

Make sure they don't reload their crossbow. I have our back.

((So Coylian, just to be sure, you're keeping the group's rear guard? You're not engaging the monsters?))

The adventurers act quicker than the hobgoblins but they are a bit disorganized. Arom swings his black mace at the closest hobgoblin, aiming for a killing blow to the head, but sadly misses. Varick tries to stab another monster with his dagger but his blow can't quite reach his target.
Four of the five hobgoblins move in for a counter-attack, the last one staying back, still blinded. Two go for the cleric of Typhon who is at the forefront of the battle but each strike bounces off Arom's sturdy armor. The one engaged with Varick grabs on the thief's arm after his missed strike and pulls Varick toward him; impaling him on his short sword. The surprised thief, lets out a gasp of surprise and blood spills down his mouth. The hobgoblin removes his blade and lets the body of the dead thief fall to the ground. The last attacking hobgoblin moves past the adventurer's poorly formed battle line and tries to finish it with the wounded Damnagoras. At the end of his charge, he swings his blade wildly and slashes the warrior across his face. The newly arrived adventurer falls to the ground, dead. Perhaps he will find gold and glory in the afterlife.
Arom, Coylian, please post your actions for the next round.
((Arom, there is two hobgoblins in front of you, one by you next to Varick's corpse and one behind you. Escape will be difficult. Coylian you are at the rear, you can more easily attempt a run for it.))
Mechanics: Initiative: Party 5 Hobgoblins 2
Arom attacks a hobgoblin with his black mace 3 + 1 (Str) + 1 (Mace) = 5 (Miss) Varick attacks a hobgoblin with his dagger 7 - 2 (Str) = 5 (Miss)
Hobgoblin attacks Arom 2 (Miss) Hobgoblin attacks Arom 2 (Miss) Hobgoblin attacks Varick 11 (Hit), 4 damage, Varick dies Hobgoblin attacks Damnagoras 18 (Hit), 5 damage, Damnagoras dies
