Desperate and on its last legs, the hobgoblin assailed by Bernie pushes himself to his limits, parrying both sword slashes and then ducking away, intent on their survival. Guarding himself against the magical assault, Paul strides up and unleashes a terrifying blast of magic against the bugbear and the hobgoblin in his path. One ray strikes the bugbear in the face, the fire rushing through the mouth and burning it from the inside out. It falls to the ground, its head still smoking and stinking of burning fur. The two remaining blasts go to the hobgoblin, who takes both directly. Its retaliatory arrow would hit, save for Paul's magical safeguard still existing for a few moments more.

Bernie unfortunately misses twice against the Hob.

Injured, it disengages and moves to run.
The other remaining hob shoots at Paul, but misses due to Shield still being active.

Paul kills the Bugbear with the crit first scorching ray, and the second two move to the nearest hob, injuring it with both blasts. The cannon misses.

Ayalla, Wuffles, and Leif are up.
