His eyes widen- Fjolnir didn't expect bugbears- he hops past Az Embari and whispers a hail of thorns conjuration before loosing an arrow at Bugbear 1. He blows an exhasperated raspberry as he nocks the second from his palm and sails it at Bugbear B, releasing the arrow and thin scratching his ear in one smooth motion.

As soon as the door opens, before anyone else can act, Hymir starts counting, "One, two, three, I can get four of them, Hymir! Excellent, other Hymir!"and then whispers an incantation while holding his arcane focus orb. He snaps his fingers, and in that instant, a sudden, painfully intense ringing noise emanates from the brazier. It shatters, sending loose coals spilling to the floor, and wracking four of the bugbears for 13 thunder damage. CON Saves: 19/4/5/20 (The Big Guy and #4 take half damage)
Fjolnir's arrows both strike true, the first splintering and shooting outward like a magical shrapnel bomb. DEX Saves: 18/19/22 (The Big Guy takes half damage)
Absinthe does as he does and stabs the closest bugbear in the shoulder, it pulls back causing him to miss with his follow up punch, but it doesn't dodge the roundhouse to the head, which staggers the 7' tall goblinoid, not only because Absinthe had to do sideways splits to get his leg that high.
The Big Guy yells in goblin:
"Get them!"
and all five of them charge Absinthe with morningstars swinging, forming a semi-circle of beatdown around him. Attack: 20 Damage: 10 The Big Guy hits. Attack: 19 Damage: 6 miss Attack: 10 Damage: 11 miss Attack: 5 Damage: 8 miss Attack: 11 Damage: 10 #4 hits. All damage applied.
Round 1: Bug-Barracks Light: Dim light from the shattered brazier

Having adventured with Az long enough, Dustfinger assumes some kind of nuke is about to go off and tries to creatively rescue Absinthe. He backs up five feet, while electricity arcs from his elbow down to his hand as he mutters his incantation, and he flings it out like a whip to snare the goliath and pull him away from the bugbear bukakke. The lightning loops around Absinthe and Dustfinger pulls, trying to reel him in to just in front of Fjolnir. Then Dustfinger Hexes the center bugbear in the back of the formation.
(I've backed up 5' so Absinthe doesn't end up next to me to trigger damage. I don't know if he has to make a saving throw or if he can elect to fail it, but it's Strength vs 14. Hex is hexing Dex.)

Az Emberi claps his hands together rubbing them vigourously. He breaths into the space between his hands and the breath is visible as if it's many degrees colder in the room than it is. He parts his hands and creates a shard of ice. He flings it at center back bugbear Atk 19 Dmg 6 piercing. He and everyone adjacent to him must beat a dex save of 14 or take 9 cold dmg.
Round 1: Bug-Barracks Light: Dim light from the shattered brazier
Dustfinger steps back and pulls Absinthe out of future harm's way with a lasso made of lightning. (I assume you're letting that happen and not trying to save.) Then he hexes #2.
Dirk puts a hand on Absinthe through the doorway and heals him.
Az Emberi successfully strikes the bugbear in the middle with an Ice Shard that explodes into smaller ice shards! All the bugbears try to shield themselves. DEX Saves: 22/5/17/10/22 #1 and #3 are the only ones who don't shield themselves in time. #1 pays the ultimate price for his slow reaction time.
Round 2, begins!

Peering over the shielding of his forearm from the arcing and spray of ice, Fjolnir sputters in frustration, "Still not dead?!" He whispers another Hail of Thorns conjuration on an arrow, punctuated by a myriad of colloquialisms referring to dwarven genitals, and arrows split the air toward Bugbear 2 and then 4.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Hymir pushes past the rest of the party into the room, trying to give the bugbears another target than just Absinthe. He places his thumbs together and fans out his fingers at the bugbears and a cone of flame envelopes them all for 8 fire damage. DEX Saves: 5/16/5/13 The Big Guy continues to be adept at dodging full damage. #2 and #3 drop dead, #4's hair is singed in places.
Fjolnir was aiming at #2, but since it died he shot an arrow at #4. It unfortunately misses. (Since they died before your turn came up, there is nothing within 5' of each other, so the Hordebreaker is negated, and I'll let you take back the casting of Hail of Thorns if you'd like since they aren't adjacent anymore.)
Absinthe takes a step forward and hits the Big Guy with his sword, taking him within an inch of his life. Then he squashes that inch with a resounding ***** slap to the face. The Big Guy goes down. Absinthe turns his attention to #4's plums, but his kick is blocked by a shield.
The bugbear retaliates by swinging his morningstar Attack: 8 Damage: 12 He hits and stands his ground in front of the goliath, having nowhere else to go.

Dustfinger orients his hex on the last remaining bugbar, and lobs a blob of mystical energy at his head. "On your left, ON YOUR LEFT!"
Eldritch Blast 17 Dam 2 plus 1 from Hex

Wait half a second for his unfavorable response.

Dustfinger blasts the bugbear for a decent amount with his additional hex bonus.

Hymir blasts the bugbear with a fire bolt Attack: 19 Damage: 1 Hitting it in the face. It staggers but remains standing (barely).
Fjolnir finishes it off with a solid center mass shot, hitting just to the side of the sternum for a perfect heart attack.
Combat is over.

Dustfinger moves to the door to the east, thinking it might lead out to the center hall. He opens it carefully.
I follow Dustfinger, with caution Stealth 11 Perception 19

That door is barricaded with broken furniture, you begin moving things out of the way as quietly as you can.
What are the rest of you doing?
-We are all just one failed saving throw away from someone else's fantasy...
Fjolnir enters the room and picks up an unspent arrow. He continues to scan around the room and under the bunks for anything useful.
