Missy's fire bolt flies wide, striking the ceiling in a burst of brilliant sparks.
"Fandish!" the bald man yells again, with a more urgent tone to his voice. He swings again at Seth with his scimitar. Attack: 11. Slashing damage: 6- but Seth's substantial chainmail holds up.

Dwal
In the midst of chaos Dwal tries to pull the group into a unit. Tapping into the training of his youth Dwal will move to a point he can attack the nearest enemy. He will set his shield and swing his war hammer.
Hit:18
Damage: 3
If he can not make it to a target he will place himself in front of Missy.
"Stay low and behind me girl. I'll be your shield if need be."
Seeing enough bodies in the central tunnel, Qiv will head towards Peri to offer assistance. Hammer at the ready and shield poised.
(If he has enough movement to reach a bad guy he will Attack: 21 Damage: 5. Sorry, head is reeling a bit today, so not sure if I've read the positioning correctly)
Qivys storms forward with his hammer and swings it at the mustachioed bandit, flattening him. Mustache is down and out before Peri is able to execute his maneuvers.
Dwal joins him, swinging his hammer high, and similarly takes out the archer. Both foes here are down and out.
Peri pulls a torch down from the wall and peers ahead. He senses a subtle movement in the lit cavern ahead, where he sees casks and bolts of cloth.
Seth and Farley engage the bald man: Seth - Longsword Attack: 11 Slashing damage: 9 - Miss. The bandit holds him off with his scimitar. Farley - Longsword Attack: 8 Slashing damage: 4 - Miss. The blade glides off the side of his leather armor.
Butter takes another wild, sloppy shot with his crossbow: Attack: 10. Piercing damage: 7 - Miss. The bolt flies wide, into the dark empty cave beyond, clattering off the far stone wall.
Missy may go next. She's about 15 feet north of the bald bandit, the last visible enemy standing.

Missy
Missy blinks at Dwals back surprised. It distracts her from her bad aim for a moment, lips tilting upwards. Not that she needs the protection, but the thought is appreciated. Turning her attention to the assailants andtakes a deep breath, pointing at the last visable enemy. "Come on!" She mutters casting fire bolt again.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Missy lobs a ball of fire at the bald assailant. It bursts atop his head like some arcane hat of flame, as if mocking Seth's matching feathered plume. It sears his scalp and he yells in annoyance and pain. He's not doing well.
"Fandish!" he screams once again, flailing with his scimitar at Farley. Attack: 19. Slashing damage: 4 - Miss. Farley easily dodges the blade.
Qivys, Peri, and Dwal may act next. They are about 20 feet from the tunnel junction (and eyeshot/ranged attack), and about 35 feet from melee range of the bald attacker.
Seeing that the guardsmen have the remaining attacker well in hand, Peri will summon his mage hand and have it carry the torch 30 ft into the cavern ahead of them.
Peri takes a couple of tentative steps forward, and levitates the torch into the lit cavern ahead with his Mage Hand. He then sees a massive hobgoblin in chainmail step forward and thwack it with a huge longsword against a wall somewhere around the corner. The hobgoblin rests the point of the sword into the ground in front of him, and mutters something inaudible. He makes eye contact with Peri, and waits.
Qivys and Dwal may act next. They are a couple of steps behind Peri. They are about 35 feet from melee range of the bald attacker, and a similar distance to the hobgoblin.
"Interesting" he remarks at seeing a hand materialise infront of him. "Nice trick lad. Let's see if it can't get us in some trouble" Qivs mood seems quite light and jovial, as if just the fact that they're on the trail of his friends murderer has brought him some peace.
He heads out following Peri's magical fist.
(Damn synchronous posting :) )
"What the..."Qiv's sentence is cut short as a surge of mystical power courses through him. He stows his hammer just in time for his hand to start tracing sigils in the air. "Not again" This time the power exits his hand in a blinding flash and streaks towards the hobgoblin.
A flash of light streaks toward the hobgoblin, and in a blinding flash it is instantly reduced to a smoldering pile. The hobgoblin is instantly incinerated.
The three foes visible in this hallway dead, Dwal sprints back to join Butter and Missy, and to call the wrath of Moradin upon the last known enemy standing. Holy flames descend upon the bald bandit engaged with Seth and Farley. He tries to twist away from the flame - 9 - and succeeds.
Seth and Farley take advantage of the distraction to try to run him through with their long swords. Seth – Attack: 9Slashing damage: 7 - but misses wildly. Farley – Attack: 15Slashing damage: 3 - but his blade is neatly blocked by the bandit's scimitar.
Butter gets in another sloppy crossbow shot - Attack: 7. Piercing damage: 5 - and somehow manages to strike him deep in his chest. He collapses, dead.
"You up for a little more exploration my wiley friend? Or shall we regroup with the others?"He asks of Peri, although the Halfling may sense that Qiv wishes to contiue deeper into the darkness in search of his nemesis, Sanbalet.
As much as he would like to carry on with just Peri and take on whatever may come, he gave his word to the Capt and his crew.
He walks with Peri back to the rest of the troops "One hobgoblin, or what's left of it, down that last passage. Opens up into a cavern of sorts."He offers up what little detail he has. "Where to now?"directed at Seth.

With a frown, Missy points at the other assailant and tries again casting fire bolt.

Peri:
Peri kicks 'Stache's knee again Attack 24 Damage 7 and stabs his shortsword at the man's neck as he falls Attack 13 Damage 6
If 'Stache is down Peri will grab the nearest torch out of its wall bracket and move toward the others. If not I'll hold in place.

Guiding Bolt 22 Damage 16
A flash of light streaks toward the hobgoblin, and in a blinding flash it is instantly reduced to a smoldering pile. The hobgoblin is instantly incinerated.
Dwal is up.
Dwal
Dwal will cast Sacred Flame on a target he sees. "Moradin let the sparks from your anvil fall on this foe!" he exclaims.
Save: Dex save-12
Damage: 6

Combat is over.
"Well, come on in!" shouts a high-pitched male voice from the lit cavern to the east, near the smoldering ashes of the hobgoblin. "It's time we talk!"
Qivys
"You up for a little more exploration my wiley friend? Or shall we regroup with the others?" He asks of Peri, although the Halfling may sense that Qiv wishes to contiue deeper into the darkness in search of his nemesis, Sanbalet.
Peri:
"Your mission, your call, cap'n. You decide to wait, I'll wait. You decide to go, I'll follow. I expect it'll end the same either way."
He will mage hand the torch back up and toward the hobgoblin's ashes, or as near as he can get it without moving it past 30' from him.
Qivys
As much as he would like to carry on with just Peri and take on whatever may come, he gave his word to the Capt and his crew.
