Xara's attack barely leaves a scuff in the creatures armour. Meanwhile, Zaris panics and feebly holds his sword out hoping that by putting a blade between himself and his foe he'll emerge from the attack unscathed. The hobgoblin swings his blade. Undefended, the attack would probably have killed Zaris, but his feeble defense and general panic work, and the sword comes up at just the right angle to deflect the attack.
The armoured hobgoblin swings his greatsword at Corban. The blade, guided by the glowing gold light, finds its mark. The blade cuts off a chunk of Corban's shield and impacts on him on the side. Fortunately his chain mail blunts the blow, but he'll have one or two bruised or broken ribs from the force of impact alone. Two more arrows fly at Corban, one lands in the dirt beside him and the other grazes his hand.
The hell hound goes for Xara, nipped at her legs while she tries to get a good angle on the hobgoblin. She has little trouble avoiding the rather large, reddish fleshed, spike-furred beast.
The two other hobgoblins who came running down the road scramble up the escarpment to get around the prolonged battle between the armoured one, the hell hound, Corban and Xara. They position themselves and ready to leap down atop Rurik and get revenge for their fallen priest.
Zaris narrowly avoids a critical hit
Corban is hit (25 vs AC) by the Greatsword for 8 Damage
Corban is hit (20 vs AC) for 2 Damage by an arrow (missed by the other)
Xara is missed by a Hell Hound bite
Zaris, you can have Inspiration for handling a big ambush the way any respectable academic would... with panic.
Zaris is engaged with the Hobgoblin
Kaiakas, I'll allow you to expend a spell slot to heal 1d6 hit points per level of the slot expended as an Aspect of Tyr appears before you (and only you) and grants you the opportunity to prove yourself by defending your stalwart companions from these thieving, vile Hobgoblins. No other cost, just the spell slot (so you'll get a regular ol' turn if you do it).
Two archers still happily flinging arrows from the left ridge
Hell Hound, Armoured Hobgoblin, Corban and Xara are all engaged
Two Hobgoblins, on on each side of the ridge, are not engaged with anyone and are preparing to assault Rurik
Rurik is not engaged with anyone either
