Tarok sweeps away the bugbear's defenses, cutting diagonally down its chest and ending its life. As it falls in a heap, the lone bugbear spits on the ground inside the doorway and motions toward the half-orc.
"You think you scare Mosk? Come on then, and Mosk will cut you down one by one!"
Tracking:
The remaining bugbear is standing just inside the room, allowing room for only a single opponent within 5 feet. There is just enough space in the hallway for someone to make a ranged attack from 10 feet away if there is nobody inside the doorway.
OOC: Argos can take a different action if he would like, since he targeted the bugbear that Tarok ended up cutting down first.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
DM Screen:
20/32 7/7
OOC: Unless you have the two-weapon fighting style or feat, the damage roll of the bonus action attack doesn't get the modifier, so the damage of the bonus action is 5.
Argos obliges, filling the doorway and thrusting his swords between the bugbear's defenses, opening two holes in its torso.
Morningstar Attack: 7
Grunting, the bugbear can't find enough room to hit the dwarf, and smashes his morningstar into the framework of the door, sending chunks of wood flying.
Round 5 Order: Bugbear Players <=====
Tracking: Argos is engaged in melee combat with the last bugbear, bottlenecked in the doorway. No melee or ranged attacks can be made through him.
OOC: I do the same thing, attacking twice. I would make a more detailed post but don't have the time and don't want to hold up the gameplay. Also, sorry about overlooking the two weapon fighting damage.
Nemean lets out a loud "Woop!" from the hallway as he sees Tarok cut down the bugbear. Argos barrels forward and when Nemean sees the two vicious strikes against the bugbear, he cheers on his friend. "That's it Argos! Show these cursed oafs how its done!" His accent thickens as he spits out an insult in his native tongue.
Argos draws blood with another stab, but his next meets the incoming blow from the bugbear's morningstar, and the weapons rebound off of each other with a clang.
Sweat flies through the air and blades continue to clash with morningstar as Argos and his opponent are unable to weave past each other's defenses. Tarok is unable to find room to safely fire his crossbow past Argos through the doorway.
OOC: They're both medium-sized creatures, so even though dwarves are shorter, they fill the same cube of space. RAW kind of leaves it up to interpretation, but I typically don't allow firing through friendlies if the target is the same size to add some tactical measure to combat but keep it simple.
You can certainly roleplay some intimidation and make a roll.
Round 7 Order: Bugbear Players <===== Cinis, Nemean, Tarok and Sildar are up
Tracking: Argos has joined the cluster in the hallway, leaving the doorway open. There is room for one person to make a ranged attack through the doorway.
Cinis's blast sputters out before reaching the bugbear.
Round 7 Order: Bugbear Players <===== Nemean, Tarok and Sildar are up
Tracking: The bugbear is in the doorway. Argos stands just to the east of the doorway in the L-shaped hall, with Tarok and Sildar behind him. Cinis stands 10 feet north of the doorway in the L-shaped hall, with Nemean behind him.
OOC: There is enough room for one melee attacker, which would cause a bottleneck once more.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Coward? Mosk will show you who is coward!" the bugbear shouts in reply to Tarok.
Morningstar Attack: 17
The bugbear steps into the hallway, once again aiming his morningstar at Argos poorly, smashing it against the wall.
