    The door does not appear to be locked or trapped. Tarak does hear movement from the other side of the door.

    Tarak

    Inching back from the door quietly, Tarak approaches the others, "No traps. Not locked. Movement behind the door though, so there will certainly be resistance. Suga and Celesta, you two can move in hard and fast. I'll follow close behind Celesta, and Feagon can cover the room from the doorway with his bow. Now all of that presumes that the room behind that door is large enough for us all....be ready for anything."

    With a wave of his hand and a nod at the two warriors to take up positions at the double doors, the hobgoblin slides in behind Celesta with his kamas drawn.

    The smell of dwarves doesn't surprise Suga. "Told you I heard something!" a voice greets you upon opening the door. Four dwarves in chain shirts, holding flails ready but with dwarven waraxes attached to their belts as well, were already moving toward the door.

    "Guh!" replies the dwarf Feagon shoots. Another one, moving forward along with that one, says, "Shut up, orc-lover!"

    Grack watches and waits for an opening. Two of the dwarves attempt to trip Suga with their flails.

    Spoiler
    Show

    If the first attack succeeds in tripping Suga, the second one is a regular attack while Suga is prone.

    If either trip attempt hits but fails, the dwarf who attempted it will drop the flail to avoid being countertripped.

    D1's trip attempt: (1d20+2)[4] touch attack against Suga's flat-footed. (1d20+1)[15] is the opposed Strength check if it hits.
    D2's trip attempt: (1d20+2)[14] touch attack against Suga's flat-footed. (1d20+1)[13] is the opposed Strength check if it hits. If Suga is already prone, that's a standard attack roll against Suga's full (flat-footed) AC -4 for being prone instead; critical threat check: (1d20+2)[7] Damage: (1d8)[4] Critical damage: (1d8)[7]

    The first dwarf's attack hits the doorframe but the second dwarf gets lucky and pulls back on Suga's ankle, dropping him to the ground. It doesn't phase the orc who gets gets right back up and swings his dire axe at both of them.

    Obviously the front two have flails, but what else do they (all 4) have? How are they armored? Shields?
    From OOC, Suga failed the STR check and is tripped.

    Stand up (move action), causing two AoOs. Suga will use Wall of Blades for the first one (immediate), if any, that would hit. I'm assuming they have +2 to hit from the above post, adjust as needed.
    D1: (1d20+2)[9]
    D2: (1d20+2)[3]
    Wall of Blades: (1d20+10)[12]

    damage: (1d12+6)[12] crit: (2d12+12)[25] Slashing

    Both the dwarves immediately attempt to trip Suga again. Whether they succeed or not, Suga misses the first one but his axe swing cuts the already-wounded one in half.

    Melee touch attack: (1d20+2)[16] Opposed Strength check: (1d20+1)[4]
    Melee touch attack: (1d20+2)[12] Opposed Strength check: (1d20+1)[5] or if he's down at that point, the first one is a standard attack and I'll roll the damage if it hits the prone orc.

    You can't use an immediate action when flat-footed; it's the last sentence of the Immediate Actions section.

    They're wearing chain shirts and using heavy steel shields.

    Tarak is still up.

    Unseen by the others, Tarak gets dumped unceremoniously to the stone floor when the charging dwarf slams into his back. A nearly silent "...oof!", followed by a muffled CRTHUMP is all the party notices.

    150 XP each. Each dwarf has a flail, a dwarven waraxe, a chain shirt and a heavy steel shield; none of them are good enough quality to be magic.

    The team finished the dwarves before Suga could get back into the action. "Well done." He wasn't happy that the dwarf had knocked him to the ground. He took one of the flails and attached it to his belt. He added four more dwarf beards to his collection. With no other findings in then room Suga starts heading back east to the other path, moving slowly until the others catch up.

    Tarak

    The hobgoblin silently and invisibly pushes himself up from the floor, looks around at the fallen dwarfs with a slow shake of his head.

    As he begins to move he materializes, seemingly out of thin air near the doorway. He walks a few steps then leans against the doorjam as Feagon searches the room and Suga goes about his grisly business.

    When Suga says, "Well done." Tarak mutters to himself, "Was it? It was hardly even a fight, my friend."

    He's the last one out of the room, and lingers near the back of the pack as the party makes it way down the hallway.

    A short flight of stairs to the south leads up to a large, ironbound door. A bloodstained orcish skull is fixed to the center of the door by an iron spike.

    To the north, at the end of this passageway, stands the statue of a fierce-looking dwarf in heavy mail armor. The stone warrior holds an axe in one hand and a smith's hammer in the other. The statue stands on a large stone pedestal; the whole structure is about 7 feet tall and must weigh many hundreds of pounds.
