One hobgoblin is cut down, and the rest gang up on the elemental, seeing it as the biggest threat. This makes it all the easier for the party to sweep through them, cutting down two more... before the door to the tower bursts open, and the bugbear storms into the room. Big one, too, dressed in all kinds of fancy accouterments of war. With a roar, he hurls a lightning bolt across the room, catching the two women and the elemental, though Cerul manages to avoid the worst of it.
