You forcibly impose your will on an enemy, striking him repeatedly and causing more openings to present themselves with each attack. His defense wears down under the contant onslaught until you finally drive your blade through his throat, twisting it and releasing a fountain of gore as you retract the weapon. All who witness the display will remember you, whether they want to or not.
The hobgoblin way is to press every advantage, every opening, to keep their opponent backed up as much as possible until they strike the killing blow. This combination attack epitomizes that teaching, allowing you to make a single melee attack as a full-round action. If this attack hits, you gain another attack roll using your full attack bonus, but at a -2 penalty. This sequence of attacks continues as long as you continue to hit, accruing cumulative -2 penalties with each hit. In addition, you gain an additional 1d6 points of damage on every successive attack for the rest of this maneuver for each attack in it that you have previously hit with.
