My dear Razmirian, you do know how to get into trouble, don't you?
Narvik will cast Bless since he can't get to Pribam to heal him. +1 to attacks and fear saves for 3 minutes. He'll then draw his crossbow.

Armun will put his bow to use, firing two arrows (not sure, but I guess he's got a bit of cover. If so, -4 to the rolls)
Attack #1 with Arcane Strike, Point Blank Shot, and Rapid Shot

I believe he has cover
The first arrow sails wide, but the second connects. 
The bugbear slices at Tarrow, then 5ft steps to the west.

A hobgoblin appears outside the door. He raises his club. (map is weird, but he is standing just on the outside of the door.

Armun will put two more arrows at the Bugbear (cover factored into the rolls)

Remember that Bless is up, that might make a difference.
Seeing that the man made room Narvik would not have drawn his crossbow and gotten his wand of Cure Light Wounds instead so that this turn he could 5' step and heal Pribam while he has the chance.

That will provoke from the bugbear.
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22
1d10 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20
The bugbear clubs Tarrow, but the crossbow seems too much. Both arrows hit true, and the bugbear drops.
The hobgoblin is still there though.

Pribam acts to call upon the Living God, "Father, smite Thine foe!" A golden shortspear appears in Pribam's hand, and he hurls it at the hobgoblin.
Splintering Spear (ranged attack): 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 1 = 18
Splintering Spear (damage): 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 + 1 point of bleed
Pribam then swiftly draws forth the wand of cure moderate wounds from his spring-loaded wrist sheath and moves to stow his wand of web in his bag of holding.

Cure Moderate: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (7, 8) + 3 = 18
If there's time, Pribam pulls his wand of infernal healing and casts the spell on Tarrow.

Pribam passes the skull to Kelvor. "We might be wanting to pour this on Earthbreaker before this is all over. It contains a potion of cure moderate wounds in this socket," Pribam says, gesturing to the correct socket, "and an oil of magic weapon in the other."
"Shall we check the hall, the hobgoblin, and the space across?" Pribam dashes across the hall to the door in which the hobgoblin fell.

Narvik will do ask instructed and close the door after relaying the message to the man. Once accomplished, Narvik will make his way toward the others. What should we do with the bodies, just leave them in this room?

"I suppose so. The bloodstains on the floor are going to give their deaths away either way. We may as well save ourselves the work. However, perhaps we should ensure they are dead, lest some foul follower of a dark god come through and revive them. Would you mind giving them a final push to their afterlives, Ambassador?"
Bot for Kelvor.
Kelvor delivers a blow to each corpse.
Pwr Atk: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18
Dmg: 2d6 + 17 ⇒ (6, 6) + 17 = 29 to the hobgoblin corpse.
Pwr Atk: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30
Dmg: 2d6 + 17 ⇒ (2, 4) + 17 = 23 to the bugbear corpse.
Then he returns to the room across the hall from the one in which the bugbear fight occurred.

Blood, guts and brains spurt up from the titanic blows of his earthbreaker, covering Kelvor in gore.
He wipes hobgoblin brains from his cheek.
"Come, priest. Time is short. We will be discovered soon."
I'm back in action, guys. Conference done! Woo! Thanks for handling Kelvor while I was gone.

Just to be clear. The hobgoblin came from down the hall, not through the door to the north.
You enter the room to the north.
A large cooking fireplace takes up most of the northern wall of this kitchen; a black iron kettle is suspended over the hearth. A long, narrow worktable fills the western half of the room, clearly used for the preparation of food. The southern and eastern walls are covered with shelves holding spices; dry goods; and various pots, pans, large bowls, terrines, and other cooking vessels.
You search the room and hear sounds coming from the cupboard.

Pribam removes his mask. "My good woman, we are here to rescue you, not hurt you. Please grab a light and what food and water you can carry and hurry across the hall. We will open a door there for you and take you to a secret passage where you can wait while we rescue the others."
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 2 = 25 to reassure the woman and to get her to go with Pribam to the secret passage
Bluff: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21 for the lie that we are here to rescue them (that said, Pribam is starting to think the Living God sent him on this mission so that he could lead these people to the Thirty-One Steps, so the rescue is true in a way)
Assuming that she complies, Pribam leads her across the hall to the secret door, opens it, and gives her and the old man directions to the trapdoor and instructs them to wait where the soldier is waiting and to remain quiet.

After the woman and old man are away, Pribam replaces the mask.

Armun sees her and is aghast. "We're here to help. Let us help you. We have a way out even." He'll help her out of the cupboard (presumably with Tarrow assisting).
"How did you end up in there? What can you tell us of what happened?"

The woman grabs a few things and follows you to the secret passage. She sees the man and gives him a huge hug. Oh Eddy. You are safe. I hate this place. The man returns the embrace. Curi. I'm so happy that you are here.
The lovey dovey talk continues until it gets slightly awkward. Curi turns to you. Um. Thanks.

Armun smiles despite the awkward (and, more importantly, dangerous) situation. "Our pleasure. Now, stay hidden. We're going to take care of the hobgoblins, and make sure this place is safe. Of course, anything you can tell us about the attack and how many there are will help us. Do you know?"

She thinks. Well, there are at least a dozen hobgoblins, some with bows, some with blades. There is a stairway going down, where you hear nasty sounds. Praise Desna that I haven't gone down there before. It is locked. I think there is a goblin here too, although it seems to come and go. I hate those things.

Pribam peers into the hallway, glancing in both directions, wondering where the party will go next.
Rene, can you show us the room where we found Curi and what we see in each direction down the hall so we can decide whether we want to go down it or to try another door or a ladder off of the secret hallway?

Once she tells her story Tarrow will motion Kelvor to come with him to go down the east corridor and open the door/enter that area.
