[OSR Challenge] There's A Bugbear In My Kitchenette!

There’s A Bugbear In My Kitchenette!: A Get Ready, Get Set, Go! 3.5 Edition adventure set in a Dwarven Stronghold, but easily dropped into any stronghold or similar structure. (With apologies and a hat tip to Jeffrey over at There’s A Bugbear In My Kitchen!
Get Ready:

• While the adventurers are resting from the road in a friendly stronghold, a horde of bugbears attack. The Hold Lord, his retinue, and the adventurers are forced to fall back and set up defense in the King’s private sub-kitchen.

Get Set:

• Torgur Valtek, Hold Lord of the Steady Tower, opened his gates to the adventurers who were staggered from the trials of the road. He pillaged his cupboards and picked out some of the best of his flocks to nurse them back to strength and health. Unfortunately for both the Steady Tower and the adventurers, the Ironscum clan of bugbears chose this time to call due a decades-old grudge. Led by the powerful bugbear Gek Stonebreaker, the creatures swarm into the Steady Tower. The adventurers are with the Hold Lord when the bugbears attack; his Man-At-Arms and his Stonechaser, acting as his bodyguards, convinced Torgur to flee to a more defensible position. Torgur’s bedchamber suite provides a secret exit from the Steady Tower. To reach the bedchamber suite from the State Room, however, the party must travel through the Hold Lord’s private sub-kitchen; this is a kitchen annex where his personal meals are prepared.
  
  The annex is a room of 50' by 20'. There are three entrances to the room: a set of double-doors lead from the storage rooms on one long wall; these doors are locked from the annex side. There are doors on either end of the room; one leads from the hallway to the State Room, while the other leads to the Hold Lord’s bedchamber and private dining room. The room is filled with various stools, small tables, and preparation areas. There are stacks of iron pots and griddles, as well as basins and crockery. There is also a water pump in one corner of the room. Among the numerous utensils are several knives and large cleavers. The room is cluttered, but not so much as to hamper movement through the room.

Go!:

• The bugbears are hot on the heels of the party as they reach the temporary safety of the kitchen annex. The defenders should have no more than one or two rounds breathing room before the bugbears catch up with them. Gek Stonebreaker is accompanied by his shaman, Ktos Dreadscream, and seven of his finest warriors.
  
  The various tables and chairs can provide cover, obstacles, and improvised weapons for both the defenders and attackers. The crockery and pots can also be used as improvised weapons, as can the knives and the cleavers (using statistics for daggers and hand axes for knives and cleavers, respectively). Ktos has already cast spells on Gek before they enter the room: Bulls Strength, Cats Grace, and Bears Endurance, all at caster level 8. Ideally Gek will be armed with his greataxe, Ktos his morningstar, and his warriors will be split: four with falchions and three with their crossbows.
